I haven’t changed much (nothing at all if we are being honest) since the last time I posted but my wallpaper.
Really like how well the SH2 Remake wallpaper goes with the setup that I have:

How have you changed titles / made custom names for categories in KDE launcher?

Yes, I changed nearly everything. This is excalibur starter menu. I changed categories names there, a few Icons. Desktop wallpaper from community (btw thanks for that) and painted my logo on it. This is the advantage of plasma, everything can changed :slight_smile:

I think I would’ve picked your country without your flag from that wallpaper photo. :joy:

Lovely landscape. It reminds me of nothern Sweden. I sometimes miss living up there, but then I get sane again. :upside_down_face:

Yes, in the beginning Xfce used Xforms, a toolkit that was not totally free, then they moved to GTK+ (1st version of GTK).

Here where I live, the landscapes are mostly concrete and asphalt. :sweat_smile:

we should restart with xforms, isnt now opensource ? :slight_smile:

Why not :grinning: . Not sure it would be easy to compile old Xfce against most recent Xforms lib.
I just noticed the real CDE is now free software and in the AUR, cdesktopenv package , if I was interested I would go for the original.

I found out I could make my Xfce panel looks more like a dock with rounded corners at the bottom only, thanks to some lines of code in gtk.css.

Changed with kmenuedit for excalibur menu.

Spent a month flipping and flopping between Fedora 37 beta and Ubuntu 22.04/22.10 for testing, both honestly pretty solid releases btw, but now I’m back in space! :enos_flag:

It looks like Nobara has improved a lot since I last tested it. I had managed to break the distro in a few minutes (should be obvious how) but they even have a welcome application and a nice logo now!

This was my first time trying Nobara.
The installation is almost as old as the screeshots posted above.

It comes with Nobara’s own repository on top of Fedora36’s and RPM Fusion.
It has a couple of Nobara’s in-house made apps preinstalled, like the Welcome app, an updater and a Software manager.

To my experience the distro seems pretty solid and all in all it works really nice. I am not sure how you succeeded in breaking it in a few minutes but I guess when there is a will not a single distro out there is unbreakable.

(sigh) Only if Debian weren’t so lame now. I tried “Bullseye” a short time ago, got hit with an error message trying to use “sudo”, never happened to me before. No problem, until I kept distro-hopping and at least one distro changed the UUID of the “swap” partition. Got tired of it “giving up waiting for resume”… Tried Devuan also, wasn’t much better, also had to change “source.list” to comment out one non-existent (DVD) package source. :roll_eyes: BTW both with MATE. Was going to jump into this “gunuinos” but declined.

I must have Wine and the latest that is more likely to work with apps designed only for Windows10, also a kernel as “recent” as possible. Really don’t like rolling-release distros and if I were to keep offline tomorrow and for good, Debian would have been a good one to keep. But for what I like to do on the computer I would have also really needed to keep a 32-bit computer with WindowsXP around. I can’t do so which sucks.

LOL it’s so easy to confound this forum! I wasn’t quoting anybody else. Forgive me for the confusion this might have caused.
