New post on my website: The most ridiculous Linux bug I've encountered in ages.

Installing XFCE changed a mouse cursor setting for GNOME that caused the login screen to crash when trying to log into GNOME/Wayland.

Once again, this month I'm using #LinuxMint with #XFCE

#FreeBSD with #Xfce for sure is a amazing combo.
Sleek and fast.
What DE/WM do you guys use with your #BSD workstation/battlestation/daily-driver?

It lives!

#cuestion Dime te gusta mis publicaciones sobre linux ?? Note que nadie me sigue ademas que nadie comenta sobre linux. Agradeceria que escribieras una opinion, estos son mis primeros publicaciones y no conozco como se mueve esta plataforma agradesco que te tomes el tiempo de leer
escribe algo no se como moverme en esta plataforma gracias de ante mano.

Este es mi laptop, utilizo #Arch #linux como SiOp de mi laptop con entorno de #escritorio #xfce me gusta mucho #linux.

Here we go…

One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.

And here's the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Rather convincing, although the icons are of too low resolution. Overall though, pretty good. A simpler time...

My XFce Win11-like theme under Linux #Mint. The theme has a couple of bugs, but overall it works well.

I found that XFce is the most themeable of the DEs, however it has started showing its age. For example, no connection of open apps to their launcher (they open a second icon), no "live" thumbnail of an open app, etc.

Как установить GUI на сервер Ubuntu 24.04

Привет, Хабр! Изначально

Dear #Linux #XFCE types: Can anyone point me towards a night filter like the Windows 10/11 one? FluxUI doesn't work, and Redshift has no way to get data because of a depreciated dependency.
Thanks in advance, boosts appreciated!

#日用Qubes 之前好像有說過這台筆電 16 核，記憶體 64GB，直接跑 Arch Linux + #KDE Plasma 6 跟喝水一樣輕鬆，但是用 #QubesOS 的話就會些微卡卡。所以我還是改回用 #Xfce。

不過我很適應 Plasma 6 的鍵盤快捷鍵，所以還是會把 Xfce 桌面微調成跟他接近的樣子。

主要有幾個設定：

- Keyboard > Application Shortcuts：`xfce4-appfinder` 用 Alt + Space

- Application Finder > Preferences
- Always center the window: 打勾
- Hide category pane: 打勾

When I compare the settings I run in #xfce between #bookworm and #trixie across Power Manager, Display, Window Manager, and LightDM, they are identical.

To the best of my knowledge, accepting that isn't brilliant, this seems to be a regression between #xfce 4.18 in #bookworm and 4.20 in #trixie, or if not a regression then some interaction across different subsystems.

I need to do a clean #trixie install in a VM and compare things, as my main desktop where I observe the issue was in-place upgraded from #bookworm to #trixie, so things might be different. That said, an upgrade should have maintained the settings which as I say worked fine in #bookworm

None of this is the end of the world and I can live with the singlular instance of the issue per reboot. I would just like to get to the bottom of it for completeness sake for myself, and perhaps to help ensure it doesn't happen for other users.

Care to share what extensions you have installed and why?

I use #debian and despite playing around in a VM for multiple different distros, as well as #debian with multiple different DEs, I end up staying with #xfce on #debain stable (well in truth I am now on #trixie given the stability and imminent release).

I like a lot of things about #gnome, but struggle with a couple of key areas - the file manager in terms of customisation and fixed viewing styles, and strange as this may seem I'm against things like #flatpak because I feel things should be native and integrated.

That said, I'm having to use #distrobox and some containers as #trixie doesn't have two key apps for me - #dvbcut which was in #bookworm but isn't in #trixie, and #avidemux which hasn't been in #debian for years now.

I really want to move to either #gnome or #kde, but #kde is far too unstable for my liking and that's a showstopper. Often my desktop is on for weeks or months at a time.

Wasn't sure how to add a "You have updates ready" indicator in the panel in #XFCE #Linux, so I wrote this hack:
/usr/bin/bash -c "apt list --upgradable|grep upgradable|wc -l"

I don't know what went wrong on this Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE installation, but the Mint theme seems to have broken. I tried replacing ~/.config/xfce4 with working one from a VM and also tried "sudo apt install --reinstall mint-meta-xfce". That sometimes brought the Mint theme temporarily back, but after a reboot, it looks broken again.
