My EndeavourOS Linux today. :blush:

By the way, I switched to KDE Plasma, because I’m annoyed by GNOME extensions. :grin:

KDE Plasma is a great environment. Everything works fine on this very old configuration. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Many thanks to the entire EndeavourOS team for everything. Greetings to everyone from Serbia. :serbia::purple_heart::smiley:

Based.

I need to improve my rice, I’m just really neither eager to go in deep with eww or ags to make it really superb, because ags uses javascript and eww is supposedly slow.

After using Endeavour with Plasma without tweaking because I enjoy the way the team pulled it all together, I couldn’t resist and reverted back to my Xfce4 ways - it’s for the small reasons (I tried and really wanted to fall in love with Plasma) - and I have had a favorite Xfce workflow setup for years. I guess I’m a stick in the mud because once I find the customized desktop that works for me, I will always tweak to it then leave it alone. I will say I usually go all out with icons, cursors, themes, etc. But the default theming just works for me!

I feel that, plasma is good, great even, but everytime I used it I’ve encountered crashes and freezes, it varies, sometimes i go months without them, sometimes I can’t go more than 2 days without them, it’s like it changes by the season, but ultimately I have always stopped using it for that. Except one or two times in my early days where I stopped using it because of graphical glitches and poor graphical behavior in general when using nvidia gpus (this was like a decade back, and it was basically an unacknowledged problem but it’s been fixed since).

Which is a bit funny cuz lately I’ve been using hyprland, an alpha stage wayland compositor, and i’ve been using it since it was only just barely usable really (which was about a year ago actually); but the only time that has crashed or frozen on me has been when I’m logging out or shutting down, never when I’m actually using it. I get bugs, but never bad enough to make me leave it (especially since they tend to be fixed within a month everytime).

@whitewolfAK47 that looks insane.

Honestly, the one major complaint I have is probably a minor detail - I like how Plasmas default panels are. I know I can make them look like Plank (which you see above in Xfce4) - but I’ve yet to solve the icon issue with Chrome and PWAs. Even when I go through all the options to ungroup by application, if I have Chrome pinned to my taskbar and then say any one of the Chrome PWAs pinned, they all show up as separate apps. As soon as I click on Gmail or another Chrome app however, it shows as active, but it also becomes duplicated by replacing the pinned Chrome icon with another icon of Gmail. At that point I can’t go and click regular Chrome without going into the application menu, which kind of defeats the purpose of having both apps pinned to the dock.

I’m not near my laptop to get a screenshot but I can later tonight if it helps.

But it’s those little inconveniences that I guess keep me back with Xfce - otherwise I would live on Plasma.

ThinkCentre’s are awesome computers.

I have an M710z I love.

Also Thinkpads (of which I am typing this on right now).

Your setup looks nice.

That’s a pretty nice and clean look !

Thanks for the likes and replies.I’m looking at a Lenovo ThinkCentre M910Q Tiny Desktop Computer, Intel Core i7-6700T Up to 3.6GHz, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, 4K 3-Monitor Support DisplayPort, HDMI, AC Wi-Fi, Bluetooth - Windows 10 Pro.It seems it would be alot faster than the one I’m using although I really do not know much about them other than we use them where I work and with win10 4gb ram logging into a vmware server several 100 miles away they are kinda slow.As I posted this one runs pretty well with plasma but I am sure the M910Q would be alot faster with EOS KDE.
