Xfce 4.20 on Wayland with labwc as the compositor. The pager and system tray don't work yet (expected, still a work in progress for those and xfwm4), but the other Xfce4 components are running fine.

A systray for xfce4-panel is something I'm waiting for, considering we need a replacement for tint2 that will work on Wayland. Preferably the same app for both Xorg and Wayland in BL Carbon.

^
A system tray is a glaring absence in most things Wayland. I don't think the mate-panel systray is working yet, either. But like Xfce, a user can run the rest of the mate desktop with a compositor like labwc or wayfire.

^I get the impression some DE developers are moving away from systrays altogether, depending on various built-in notification systems instead. Not a welcome change for people (like us) who are putting together a lo-fat desktop from building bricks. The systray is such a convenient way for apps to make their interface available.

KDE system tray it is strong and reliable.

I've been using it for about 2 years, haven't had any issue with the panel nor tray apps.

My last scrot to end the year.

All of KDE/plasma 6 is reliable on Wayland. The way to go with Wayland if your hardware supports it. Is that 20C your computer temp or the weather?

That's a CPU Temp, sometimes i have 15 to 20 degree C on winter, the room where i use the desktop tower i haven't installed any heater or conditioner, the room is like a refrigerator that's why CPU temp is it a bit low.

^ My last Windows XP (SP3) looked something like this.

I can't believe it's been over ten years.
Long live freedom.
Never again M$.

The last time i used XP were 20 or so years ago. Or more precisely, the day it came out, I got it.

A time where to perform an action on the internet it ended later than the coffee runs out.

Things were with the Kb and the Mb was a luxury. I haven't used Windows 98, but i've seen it on my friends. I started with Windows 2000, NT then XP, 7 from there directly to Linux. Since then i haven't gone back to Windows on my personal desktop, of course i use Windows on my family Laptop for their needs.

It was an interesting moment to be at that time experience the great evolution and compared with today, although i won't go back despite the good moments i lived.

I see often people who emulate XP or 7, personally haven't done it even out of curiosity. However, I understand everyone's feelings about the time they experienced with their distros.

So, whatever makes you happy i see the point.

I wanted to see how close I could get the tint2 panel to a XP Luna theme look. I think this iteration is closer

^ Pretty good. Add some rounding to the green background.

Nice. You seeing some performance improvements over your Arch install?

Why is your init showing as systemd instead of openrc? That a glitch in the fetch, or did you go with systemd?

Döbbie03 · 2024-12-24 02:43:05

Yep, boot time is about half of Arch (1.6 seconds versus 3.5-4) and Gentoo is on a SSD not an nvme (which Arch is). The plan is to purchase a new nvme and migrate once I have Gentoo under my belt. Pretty sure my motherboard takes two nvme drives.

Systemd, I know systemd so I didn't want to learn a new process to maintain and install a distro alongside a new init system at the same time. I can only absorb so much info.

I hear you. I'd like to give Alpine a nice, long look, but brain overload getting it set up.

Man, that's even better than mine

I had Alpine up and running, it was missing some applications I needed (can't remember which ones) so I didn't look much further than a bare bones dwm install.

I'd get Alpine set up, but then half-way through customizing I'd realize I was turning it into Void but with OpenRC. Defeat the purpose of running Alpine.

Speaking of Void, last of the year (most likely):
