Just… Josh :BlobCatTrashed:In my "testing" <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#XFCE</a> has been running very well with no noticeable issues. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gnome</a> looked good but ran slow and <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/lxde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LXDE</a> had lots of glitches with the DE setup. I installed <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/jwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JWM</a> (have not tested) and plan to install <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a> to try out if available. Web browsers are a very meh. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/dillo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dillo</a> works okay, but is not great for "modern" websites. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Chromium</a> (from Orange Pi) works okay but is very slow; standard Chromium is not available. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/epiphany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epiphany</a> was sooooo slow that is was not usable. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/konqueror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Konqueror</a> installed but was missing dependencies to function. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/surf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Surf</a> is working okay; good for basic sites but chugs on more demanding sites like Youtube. Terminal apps all seem to be working fine. Simple apps like <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/goodvibes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoodVibes</a> and <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/kpat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kpat</a> work with out issues. 3D Games were not playable if they even loaded up. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/minetest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Minetest</a> opened but was like 1 frame per 3 seconds. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/tuxcart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TuxCart</a> installed but would not open. So far on the <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/orangepirv2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrangePiRV2</a> the definitive winners are XFCE, Sakura (teminal), GoodVibes, Kpat, and <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/plank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plank</a>

R. L. Dane :Debian:<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@slembcke" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@slembcke</a>I mean, I totally get that if you only ever use gnome.If you don't care to use Gnome because:<ol><li>Poor contrast between active and inactive window titlebars is a usability nightmare that was fixed in the early 1980s and broken in the past five years for no good reason</li><li>Client-side decorations are another foolish kill-usability-for-shallow-aesthetics fad that needs to die</li><li>You want a configurable system. It's <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UNIX</a>, dagnabbit.</li><li>You'd prefer a more lightweight system (not as big a deal as it was 5 years ago, props to them for making it a lot more efficient)</li></ol>..and so you find yourself using <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a>, or <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#i3wm</a>, or <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sway</a>, or heck, <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/jwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#jwm</a>, <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/twm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#twm</a>, <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/ctwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ctwm</a>, <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/cwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cwm</a>, <a href="https://alpha.polymaths.social/tags/icewm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#icewm</a>, or whatever......and you open a Gnome app. What do you get? An application that's integrated nicely with the rest of your system? Heck no! You get an app that sticks out like a sore thumb. Honestly, everything that happens within the application window is up to the devs, and I don't begrudge whatever style you use there. But taking over the titlebar I simply will not tolerate.Honestly, if not for the CSDs, I'd never complain about Gnome. I'd use whatever (ethical) solution works best for my workflow and go about my day. But now using gnome apps feels like it's an advertisement for a cult-like mentality. I open Gnome Web, or Gnome Disks, Gnome Boxes, or whatnot, and boom, I'm lost. Where's my titlebar color? Gone. Which window is active? No blasted idea.Sorry for the rant, I just really can't stand that. Other than that, I could say a lot of positive things about gnome. I'm glad they're there. But the mentality is feeling more cultish/corporate all the time.

Klaus Zimmermann :unverified:I've recently been looking for a lightweight floating WM to substitute <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FluxBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FluxBox</a>, which has been crashing abnormally frequently lately on a combination of conditions that involve things going fullscreen and back.

Needs more configuring to get used to, but so far so good!Besides, it's been a while since I last posted a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ScreenshotSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScreenshotSaturday</a>
