XFCE doesn’t support Wayland yet, however a lot of the components will run under it. They’ve got a tracker on their site.
Arch installs aren’t too bad, it’s the post-install setup that’ll get you though since a fresh install is guaranteed to detonate if you don’t disarm it.
It doesn’t even have to be complex anymore thanks to archinstall
.
To be fair, most users are just gonna go the new user route. Download the Fedora media writer, set it to download and flash Fedora, boot to the stick and install.
I was a decent ways into my Linux experience before I learnt about Ventoy, but I don’t use it as I prefer flashing a whole ISO. There’s no hand-holding once you leave Mac or Windows, so you have to count points of failure yourself, Ventoy wasn’t worth it.
I suggest you take the normal new user path, and after that start trying things. Learn to walk before you try running :)
Really depends on what you want your system to be, if you want a lightweight system choose a barebones distro like Arch, Gentoo, Void or any server spin such as Fedora Server. Then, during installation you only get what you need. If you are going lightweight you’d probably want something like Sway WM, Hyprland or XFCE.
If you don’t care for minimalism, then choosing a distro focused on a graphical interface such as Fedora Workstation will be much better for you, since that distro will be maintained with the idea of users using whatever DE it is, the distro maintainers probably contribute to upstream of the DE too. Support will also be easier since you’ll find that these distros, while maybe having smaller communities, those communities ask more questions and get more solutions due to the Linux inexperience.
Linux is not a prerequisite nor is it a required side effect of digital privacy, sure the two go hand-in-hand thanks to FOSS but you can have one without the other.
Red Star is a Linux distro, but it’s the embodiment of the antithesis of privacy.
Agree, call me unreasonable or whatever but I just don’t like Rust nor the community behind it. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel! Rust makes everything complicated.
On the other hand… Zig 😘
But the server is still operational, it’s just moved.
Need I go on? This is clearly the future. Friendship ENDED with Network Hardware now PEG is my best friend.
Ah right, thanks :)
For now, the integration is a minor gesture, as it’s only a one-way connection from Threads to the Fediverse.
Could someone explain what this means? It it like he can see us but we can’t see him? I didn’t know the Fediverse / ActivityPub could work like that.
In Windows’ case, this is the truth. But certified corporation momentos are not a required side-effect of this approach to updates.
No.
A notification, in the tray and elsewhere across the OS, with a short description like “Updates are crucial to the security of you and your device, they also provide the freshest experience.” would get the point across. What would be even better is if there was a one-click NQA button to initiate the update, perhaps even included on the notification.
First time I’ve heard someone call Gnome Software fast. In my experience that app feels like it’s on it’s last legs; the Flatpak CLI is far better than any desktop GUI.
This screenshot is from the Flathub website. The only good GUI for Flatpaks…
Same, I almost cringe when I see someone using one. I just see an unorganised mess of packages :P
For Atomic users, you can rebase to F40 and it’ll run the Beta/Prelease.
Yeah, my 5800X3D works perfectly; absolutely zero issues. I’m guessing it’s making use of the 3DvCache too since I don’t notice any performance degredations compared to Windows.
When my DE, Budgie, supports it. I’m not too bothered about using it, with a beast monitor and a high-end PC I hardly notice the X.Org quirks.
I’ll take it as when Budgie is ready to ship a full Wayland-only experience, I’ll be ready to use one.
Have you tried changing what the applets do when you click? Most of the time you can set whether it should create a new instance, cycle windows or raise or lower existing ones from the applet settings. See if changing that could help?
I use XFCE/Budgie (flick between the two) so not too familiar with cinnamon.
