my pkg count is a bit anorexic
Ever thought installing gnome? You get plenty & instantly, in my case:
[npro@vu ~]$ pacman -Sp gnome gnome-extra | wc -l 276

ahahahaI once (on a different forum) read about someone who had deleted his 'nobody' user. When he logged in the next time, he was greeted with a message: "You don't exist. Go away!"

@guigirl My god... they are trying so hard to reach the bottom of the barrel, but there is no bottom for them
Migrating the single most critical pieces of software on an Ubuntu install to a package format regularly criticised as slow and buggy is a brave move.
So hey: kudos for that.

@npro buntu & snaps -- two of the most yukky Linuxy things for this little black duck.

btw... that thread needs an update
I kinda giggle, though. You know, of course [we all do], the plethora of historical & later posts in the V forum by some grumblers that their V, replete with their 666 open tabs, takes 7 picoseconds longer than they think is right, to launch. Can you imagine what 15 seconds will feel like?
yeah I was thinking exactly the same, also about FF's future, another great move by Mozilla

I also think that pointieststick would have a serious contender if you'd create that Vivaldi blog with that title

effects: Remove Desktop Cube effect
effects: Remove Desktop Cube Animation effect
With the ongoing scene redesign, it needs to be rewritten. However, given that it is not used widely based on support information from various bug reports and our available man power is sparse, the most reasonable thing is to drop the effect, unfortunately.

@guigirl until they figure it out it...

http://commits.kde.org/kwin/47ef0b5a3cfdad3fa895748ff87a52a889351b32they 're also removing cover switch and flipswitch though both can't be considered iconic and unique like the cube was for more than 20 years!

infected Plasma Devs with evil gnomejuice
unfortunately yes that's what it is. "given that it is not used widely" is the first sign of corruption.

@guigirl said in Arching Vivaldians.:
In my early Nix years i really disliked C, intensely [albeit not as much as GNOME, ha], but over time i slowly came to realise that i was just being a moron . If Plasma vaporised from existence tomorrow, it'd be a fairly easy proposition for C to become my new home... but ofc, given we're still so lucky to have our Plasma, everything else just pales.
well I guess I'm still a moron then , because no matter how hard I've tried liking it (with Mint), it felt still too stiff and oppressive compared to Plasma. Additionally... oh those on/off switches !!! I hate mobile phone UIs in desktop PCs
Besides, I think I read few months ago that it was pretty unmaintaned, reaching "abandonware status",to the point of Debian thinking about kicking it from its repo for that reason Maybe they were shaken by that and gave it the proper attention now, who knows, I certainly don't...
Now that I've searched a bit about the last one I came across this which I remember having read it, it's quite hilarious as well Debian's Cinnamon desktop maintainer quits because he thinks KDE is better now
I think I'm not prepared though for the scenario that KDE would dissapear from the map... I 'd say I would go down the xfce road i guess? Or maybe ditch the whole thing and go full tiling with awesome or i3 (the only ones that I've played around with) -
has anyone else of the Arching Vivaldians performance issues with the latest vivaldi release?

@guigirl thank you.
I updated my post with more system details here:

@guigirl said in Arching Vivaldians.:
stuck on C 4.8.6yeah not only that but I remember reading that it was not given the proper attention with regards to fixing bugs and further developing/enhancing it (no github commits for many many months alike, but anyway )
MATE
haha, yeah no, I've had enough of GNOME2 a thank you Imo that is the DE which is antiquated and the one for those that can't let go... maybe that explains why you say it's so breaky.
e?
no, not yet . I probably should though.

Not only it is OK, but I think it needs some "amplification" with more sub-sub-spoilers because...

@guigirl Afaict, lxqt apps are quite good (& without gtk, yay), but the stuff around (panel, keyboard usability &c) still needs some time. Otoh, it was ~ a year ago & i didn’t use it as my primary desktop (i.e. i didn’t have much patience with it).

btw...
Solus team no longer views GTK as being a viable platform.
"It would not be in the best interest for Solus to invest in a future version of Budgie that leverages relevant software (GTK as an example) developed by GNOME. In fact, it would not be in the best interest for Solus to invest at all in developing any software leveraging GTK4 and beyond. It would put us in an undesired position of being progressively negatively impacted by conscious decisions by GNOME, not to mention implying to others that we support the direction GNOME is taking their software stack, when that reality couldn't be further from the truth."
But it ain't gonna be Qt...

@guigirl yeah but you know...
in general I kinda find ridiculous, lame and tiresome how everyone starts their new distro "based on Ubuntu of course", GTK, GNOME, then after a while they all start bashing those 3 because they are bad... ORLY? Just don't use those from the beginning ffs , so that we don't have to put up with whatever Canonical and every other moron thinks it should be the norm, just because you 've flooded the ecosystem with a gazillion of clones.
Also, that guy?
I've watched him once (or twice?) when he was so envy of Arch's justified success (package manager, KISS principle, AUR) that he was talking trash just to bash it and telling everyone how OpenSUSE or Fedora were better... talking about being 🧂
