Never tried MX Linux?

I couldn't handle the UI but the tooling is supposedly great. I'll try the KDE version to see if they managed to screw that UI up

Not yet. I probably should though

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:27 AM

MX Linux doesn't have an upgrade path though

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:27 AM

So you install version x, you're stuck with it

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:28 AM

That's not a problem for me, but it's completely useless for the average user

Mmuhdsalm Not yet. I probably should though

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:30 AM

I also didn't see you list base Debian, it's actually doable these days!

muhdsalm•6/9/24, 8:31 AM

Most of these notes are from when I was a frequent distrohopper. That's not to say I don't still do it, but I've lost my files a few too many times, so I don't do it as frequently and always try to do it carefully

muhdsalm•6/9/24, 8:32 AM

In happier news, I got a spare machine recently and I'm planning to do all my experiments on that

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:32 AM

Ah, I've been "hard drive liberated" for a decade now, I use tools like pCloud and git to make sure I don't have anything of value on my own hardware

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:33 AM

Though as a developer I generally don't have a lot of big files

GGattaca Ah, I've been "hard drive liberated" for a decade now, I use tools like pCloud a...

muhdsalm•6/9/24, 8:33 AM

I don't trust the cloud

. I probably should back up to a hard drive, though

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:33 AM

pCloud is Swiss

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:34 AM

And I think EU's shown themselves an advocate of taking care of people over companies the past few years

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:34 AM

I feel safe enough keeping stuff in EU-based servers

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:39 AM

OK I need some help with something extremely important that's been blocking me for days now.

I need a proper naming scheme for all of the systems I have, and I need a good pool to sample from because I might have anything from ten to fifty computers in my "care" at some point

(Yeap...)

It used to be moons of the solar system but I'm so fed up with those wacky names.

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:40 AM

Japanese cartoon suggestions can leave the building as quickly as they entered.

muhdsalm•6/9/24, 8:40 AM

I mean, you could just name them common household items

muhdsalm•6/9/24, 8:40 AM

But I'm assuming you're looking for something more fun?

GGattaca Yeah I'm at this step and I completely cruised through it without looking at it,...

asen23•6/9/24, 8:43 AM

no worries

Mmuhdsalm I mean, you could just name them common household items

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:49 AM

Yeeeaaahh gattaca@spoon doesn't really do it for me

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 8:51 AM

I'll go for Jagged Alliance 2 town names until I run out

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 9:12 AM

I did have a weird issue last night on Bazzite, I was watching series, the screen would go off and by no means other than a reset I'd get my screen back.

DocMAX•6/9/24, 9:18 AM

does anyone know how to install an rdp server on bazzite that launches a KDE desktop?

GattacaOP•6/9/24, 9:38 AM

I'll try Ultramarine per your recommendation

DocMAX•6/9/24, 9:40 AM

how can i install https://apps.kde.org/de/krfb/? it's not in discover

wolfyreload•6/9/24, 9:46 AM

It was preinstalled for me in Bazzite KDE edition guess it's included in the standard KDE apps

DocMAX•6/9/24, 9:49 AM

ah it's there. it IS preinstalled, not WAS

PizzaV•6/9/24, 10:05 AM

how do i auto lanch birdtray

DDocMAX ah it's there. it IS preinstalled, not WAS

DocMAX•6/9/24, 10:12 AM

but it's completly crap

DocMAX•6/9/24, 10:13 AM

no window scaling, slow, not accelerated

Arai•6/9/24, 10:13 AM

is there a way to install the kde DE on bazzite gnome? I don't mind it breaking since I'm currently distro hopping

this is why most people just use sunshine I think

matt_schwartz•6/9/24, 10:14 AM

you rebase like normal but choose a -gnome image name

matt_schwartz•6/9/24, 10:15 AM

but ya it can get real messy

matt_schwartz•6/9/24, 10:15 AM

and is unsupported

wolfyreload•6/9/24, 10:19 AM

you could just rebase to the KDE edition but things can go wrong with your user /home and you /etc config files if you do that.... but typically it's fine. KDE and Gnome edition also has other flatpaks so you'd need to run

ujust _install-system-flatpaks

ujust _install-system-flatpaks

. Oh didn't see that Matt responded. Yup and not supported

KKyle Gospo And the monospace font is Fira Code

VValerie Made a mistake

why not monocraft?

Arai•6/9/24, 10:22 AM

it's fine, I like gnome but the window switching can be bizarre at times for me during gaming (and seems to make my FFXIV crash sometimes), so I wanted to check out with kde, however kde has way too many customizations and becomes a tad overwhelming for me

wolfyreload•6/9/24, 10:25 AM

I also felt that way with KDE but it grows on you after a while. There are some good gnome extensions that make gnome way better. I'm looking forward to Bazzite Budgie it looks like it's a good middle ground.

Arai•6/9/24, 10:26 AM

yes I'd love to try budgie, definitely feels the kind of DE that would stick with me the longest

Arai•6/9/24, 10:27 AM

in a way I also enjoyed cinnamon when I was trying out Mint, it has enough customization to satisfy my needs

Arai•6/9/24, 10:27 AM

kde however has like, an option for every single thing visible feels that too much for my brain lol

wolfyreload•6/9/24, 10:28 AM

I pretty much went with the Bazzite default and left it alone lol

Arai•6/9/24, 10:30 AM

I noticed bazzite doesn't offer live usb (at least I couldn't figure it out), so I went kde first, then switched to gnome

Arai•6/9/24, 10:30 AM

but hoping budgie comes out soon cuz I'd love to check that one out

Wwolfyreload I also felt that way with KDE but it grows on you after a while. There are some ...

PizzaV•6/9/24, 10:30 AM

how can i try out budgie?

wolfyreload•6/9/24, 10:31 AM

Yeah unfortunately all atomic desktops don't offer a live usb mode. Not sure if that is on the cards

Never tried MX Linux? I couldn't handle the UI but the tooling is supposedly great. I'll try the KD
