^ From the scrot, it's siduction. So Debian unstable (sid), with possibly some packages from Debian experimental. siduction does their own thing but I haven't researched it yet, sorry. On Debian, use either the sid or bullseye repo (unstable or testing)...

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/kde-baseapps

In the same vein, of course everyone knows that the new Xfce desktop is out, right?

https://packages.debian.org/sid/xfce/xfce4

^ Yeah, I looked all over the siduction site; no joy. Only interested in an ISO; don't wont to work that hard putting pieces together. I did the sid/Norbert Preining thing a while back. Can't get any fresher Plasma than KaOS, a daily driver I use.

^@eight.bit.al, @hhh,

Thank you for the flowers.

I would like to contribute to a little more clarity.
I came to siduction in 2013 via aptosid. A distri based on debian's unstable, which in the meantime absolutely lacks the manpower to regularly create new, custom ISO's.

Here you can see when the ISO is from and when the installation is from.

The purpose of a RollingRelease is to do an apt update && apt dist-upgrade or full-upgrade at least weekly to daily.
Only then (!) you have the guarantee that the system runs stable.

With "Debian has arrived" I meant that thanks to the work of Norbert Preining Debian-sid made the jump to Plasma5.20 this year. I did not mix his repo's nor experimental and unstable in this installation. That would also be fundamentally wrong and lead to the probable break of the installation.

As for the latest XFCE, all it takes is the installation and the subsequent commands above.
It is as simple as that.

Still using bspwm - just updated the polybar to better reflect lithium colours - (still working on that).

Very nice work @phuturism

Epic - love the logout dialog.

Is that polybar at the top?

Thank you, yes it is polybar. I like the default bar that comes with dwm but it is super limited to styling. Polybar is so much more flexible.

Yes, I'm using polybar with bspwm now. Harder to configure for a non-dev like me but I can see its power and adaptability.

Since I mention logout, is that a standard dwm thing? or did you hack it up yourself? I tend to use the "exit bspwm" sxhdc command or just use a terminal to reboot/shutdown, which is not that elegant. I can also call up the bl-exit dialogue through an sxhdc command but that's not very elegant either.

What is the problem, and what sort of elegance are you looking for?

good questions, I should know in advance that one must be specific on the BL forums :-)

Not really a problem, but as I use bspwm when I call the bl-exit dialog, it will default to the appropriate size node for the desktop I'm on, which could be full screen (or half-screen for example), so just looks ugly. I should be able to configure this in bspwm as a floating node of a particular size but haven't looked into this yet.

Elegance as you infer is in the eye of the beholder, but I liked dobbie's minimalist dropdown menu in his screenshot above - kinda looks like drun (rofi) or something.

Yes you can; set a rule in your bspwmrc file:

bspc rule -a  WM_CLASS state=floating layer=above

use xprop to find the class name for the bl-exit dialog.

It looks like @Dobbie3 is using a custom dmenu or rofi exit script; those work great with tiling window managers.

I'm using a patched version of dmenu with a logout script.

#!/bin/sh

# A dmenu wrapper script for system functions.

# For non-systemd init systems.
case "$(readlink -f /sbin/init)" in
	*runit*) hib="sudo -A zzz" ;;
	*openrc*) reb="sudo -A openrc-shutdown -r"; shut="sudo -A openrc-shutdown -p" ;;
esac

cmds="\
lock		slock
logout		kill -TERM $(pgrep -u $USER "\bdwm$")
reboot		systemctl reboot
shutdown	systemctl poweroff
refresh dwm	kill -HUP $(pgrep -u $USER "\bdwm$")"

choice="$(echo "$cmds" | cut -d'	' -f 1 | dmenu)" || exit 1

`echo "$cmds" | grep "^$choice	" | cut -d '	' -f2-`
