Wow, gorgeous default desktop. Also the website, beautiful...

Are your scrots the Xfce desktop version?

PackRat · 2026-08-08 15:55:02

^ Yes, that is xfce4 version on my old, indestructible HP.
Laptop is circa 2011 with an old i3 CPU and Intel graphics. Plasma and Gnome really spool up the CPU.

It won't run the ghostty terminal that ships by default, but xfce4-terminal runs no problem.

No office suite by default (good thing in my book). I added the repo and went with OnlyOffice; slightly better compatability with MS documents.

All runs really smooth.

Looks great!

^Nice birds wall...!

My current bird-themed devuan fluxbox desktop - with a gossiping group of java ricebirds; soooo cute..

hhh · 2026-08-10 01:31:24

^ Very cute!

I have gnome-boxes (GNOME's VM) set up and working, here's debian testing running labwc with xfce4-panel. I've themed it, of course, and that's about all I've done so far...

GTK and LabWC themes: Bunsen-Blackish-Remix (bunsen-themes-extra)

Icons: Sweet-Red (requires candy-icons)
https://github.com/EliverLara/Sweet-folders
https://github.com/EliverLara/candy-icons

Wall source: gnome-backgrounds
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-ba … type=heads

I downloaded it, opened it with GIMP, Image>Scale to your resolution, Export as a PNG)

hhh · 2026-08-11 00:34:09

^ Left them speechless. Nice scrot, @hhh.

-edit- the labwc Feature Request I made of a Super+d keybind to ShowDesktop has made it into trixie.

^Trisquel12-mini-lxde

in Qemu on TileOS-niri.

The intention on my part was to show this in Virt-Manager here in TileOS when looking for an LXDE configuration/distribution. I struggled with authorization problems for hours, only to finally fail due to the lack of a network connection in Virt Manager.
That upsets me! So in the terminal with a plain command in Qemu, took 15 minutes and it works.

Bought a laptop about a month ago to practice for rounds of tech interviews because my kid sleeps in the room where I keep my desktop. I realized two things: I might be too old for 4 rounds of hackerrank drills, but I am definitely not too old to play around with BunsenLabs and keep it on my mobile worstations, as per my tradition. Feels good having a laptop again after 5-6 years.

hhh · 2026-08-14 23:06:56

Nice, and now I know what HackerRank is.

Added menu icons to the labwc VM setup...

johnraff · 2026-08-17 02:25:37

^That's the auto-generated menu?

Is that "labwc VM setup" based on the BL plugin, or your own creation?

Auto-generated xfce4-popup-applicationsmenu. The desktop is my own creation, labwc and some other apps installed on trixie inside of gnome-boxes. It's very snappy and smooth with 2G available RAM, I can barely tell it's not the actual OS. File transfers are slow, that's about it.

autostart...

#wlr-randr --output Virtual-1 --mode 1920x1080 &
lxpolkit &
xfce4-notifyd &
swaybg -i ~/Pictures/wall.png &
xfce4-panel &
nm-applet &

Installing gdm3 made the wlr-randr code unnecessary.

The volume keys work but the brightness keys don't work yet, but brightness is handled by the host anyway.
