It's April Fools Day in New Zealand now, so time for a new thread.
This is where you can post screenshots of your setup, as long as it's in line with our somewhat elaborate rules and instructions...
Please use thumbnails. Do not embed images larger than approx 250x250px (62,500px) into posts, use thumbnails linking to a hosted image instead. Thanks!
Various online free image hosts are available, such as Imgur, imgbb, freeimage.host, scrot.cloud, postimg.cc, etc...
Use the following BB code for posting please:
Imgur only provides the link to the full image, but just add "t" to the name to get a thumbnail link, and the filename extension eg:
[ img]https://i.imgur.com/7S2EJEgt.png[/img ]
^
Imgur also provides a variety of thumbnail sizes, and the linked BBCode, in the image "View and edit" screen.
Sizes: Original · Small Square · Big Square · Small Thumbnail · Medium Thumbnail · Large Thumbnail · Huge Thumbnail
Repeat: To get the linked direct image you need make sure to add the file extension to the url. Their recommended BB code doesn't really convey this properly.
*******************
If you just want to upload a screenshot to Imgur, you can avoid a lot of the url-editing etc if you use the BunsenLabs built-in bl-image-upload utility:
Menu > BL Utilities > Take Screenshot > Imgur - Upload Screenshot > Anonymous Upload (or via Imgur account) > Screenshot Now (or whatever)
Then middle-click in the forum Message window to paste the link:
You can then "Delete" the image if desired, but don't delete the uploaded image if you want to post it
*******************
Once again when choosing a thumbnail size please keep in mind our approx 250x250px (62,500px) thumbnail file size constraints.

Trying to use a light theme this month, since I've been using dark themes for too long now
It's great. It looks cute

Ubuntu Budgie 21.04 (Hirsute Hippo) Daily Build
First impression: Unlike gnome 40 this has a lot of icons on windows. Same problem with opting out, instead of opting in as in that Fedora gnome 40 iso. Very pretty. Some snap vs native installed applications might have some theme inconsistencies.
Note: Screenshots are down-colored (pngquant), so I could upload them via script without them being jpeg-ed by the host.

^ I've been using that wallpaper for my login screen (lightdm-gtk-greeter) on my daily driver with straight Adwaita dark as the theme, it looks fantastic. I definitely want that wall in our next release. Nice art.

I'm addicted to the default lithium theme.

Hey, thanks! Looks great.
A boring update on my hardware, the Dell Latitude E6400 has a BIOS option for "WiFi Catcher" which is supposed to make recognition of WiFi devices on Windows easier or something. Anyway, it's on by default, so I either disabled it at some point and then re-enabled it by setting the BIOS back to the default, or a kernel update changed something. Whatever, I think WiFi Catcher was randomly preventing the Broadcom b43 driver from loading on boot. Yawn, I disabled it und alles gut.

@bronto, 5.10 kernel upgrade in 3 minutes, nice. Bullseye?
Offline
Right, so what I'm doing ATM is dist-upgrading my Latitude from Buster to Bullseye without dropping out of the lightdm-managed Cinnamon session. I'm playing music in a browser and posting here as it upgrades. Let's see if it breaks. The upgrade is at 40% right now. Just over 2,000 packages are getting upgraded.
Offline
It's at 60%, no user interaction has been necessary so far. Just hit Enter and wait.
Offline
70%, the archive link is still cranking my speakers.

Right, in the 90s now, getting ready to reboot into a 5.10 kernel, wish me luck. Still no User prompts like "restart such and such service" or anything. very nice.
Oh, apt is installing the packages now, this will take a while.
Offline
And there it is, "Restart services during package upgrades without asking?"
Um, please. And if you fall asleep during the install and miss this prompt, the install halts until a keystroke is entered.
That is really stupid, isn't it? Why would the average user not want to have services restarted, why not put that option under Advanced settings for the odd user case? I'd file a Debian Bug, but it's too complicated a process.

What's the "average user" for straight Debian? Server admins would likely be unhappy...

A user who's not a server administrator, I'd wager. Point taken, though.
