Laurie 🏳️‍⚧️ (he/him)<p>My nerd moment lately: having moved to Nextcloud and LibreOffice, I now have a much stronger usecase for using Linux in my day-to-day. I have installed Mint Xfce on a tiny shitty laptop (I'm talking 2gb RAM and 30gb SSD shitty) and I tweaked the settings using a guide, and I think it could really do the job for working on documents while out and about. I'm planning to just use it for editing documents via Nextcloud, and light web browsing. <br><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foss</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a></p>

Tom<p>On my wife's laptop, when it was on Ubuntu 22.04 on XFCE if the laptop lid was closed to put the laptop to sleep sometimes it wouldn't resume correctly and the mouse would not register clicks and the keyboard wouldn't type unless you did Control-Alt-F1 then back to X with Control-Alt-F8.</p><p>After some more digging I discovered both TLP and ACPI were trying to suspend the laptop when you closed the lid so I disabled the suspend in TLP. Then I think I found either ConsoleKit or Upower was trying the same thing.</p><p>Anyway, her laptop had to get a minor repair (power pin became loose from the board) when it came back I reformatted it, put Void Linux on it with Mate and only the services needed and it never, ever had that suspend/resume buggy input device problem again. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ubuntu</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/voidlinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>voidlinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bugs</span></a></p>

Tio<p>Doing TROMjaro work from the motorhome :) <a href="https://forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-2025-02-16/252" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-…</a></p><p>This is the first time I get to "properly" use this space for doing some more hardware and internet intensive work. We live in a motorhome from now on for those who do not know. This is it:</p><p>We have 650W of solar panels:</p><p>Internet satellite and 2 lithium batteries, each of around 1.000W. The download internet speed is quite good, some 20-30 real Mb per second, but upload max at about 1 ...</p><p>So, to download the updates to create the ISO is no problem. To compile the ISO itself, also not an issue because we have a lot of power. But to upload 2 ISOs, each of around 4.7Gb was really time consuming. So much so I had to leave the Internet and Laptop on over night.</p><p>But it worked and they uploaded. They only ate 30% of our battery capacity overall. Something we can easily put back with solar this next day.</p><p>This is our view from a really nice parking lot for motorhomes where you get free water and water disposal facilities :)</p><p>We can also charge one of our batteries while we drive with like 500W so in 2 hours we can fully charge one of our batteries just from driving, and we plan to drive for almost 2 hours today.</p><p>Therefore, the test was great! Because even if the upload speeds are shit, I can leave the laptop overnight to upload large files.</p><p>We have a Peertube channel where we try to upload videos from our adventures - <a href="https://videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/videos" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome/vide…</a></p><p><a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xfce</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=tromjaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tromjaro</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=vanlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vanlife</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=camper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>camper</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=motorhome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>motorhome</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>europe</span></a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=spain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spain</span></a></p>

Love free desktops so much that you want GNOME *and* KDE *and* Cinnamon *and* Xfce, but you find your themes breaking and menus cluttered as you hop between them? Well I've got you.

Here's an early release of Mending Wall, an app to fix those themes and tidy those menus, because good fences make good neighbors.

This is an early release. Source now available, packages and website to follow.

Stock Debian with XFCE or Mate desktop environments. XFCE is a dream for me. It is snappy fast and I can customize it with a bit of imagination.

Over the years Mint and Ubuntu have always been buggy on all my machines. I always found myself returning to Debian. Also cinnamon resource usage slows things down on older machines.

You can configure the XFCE panels to behave like Mac or Windows. I have my own grind. My whisker start menu opens up in the center of the screen. I made a tiny panel with just that menu applet and resized it to just a few pixels, then placed it in the right spot to center on open with the menu key. I also use rofi, which is the fastest task manager and file browser I find usable. When I don't want to use the mouse rofi is my quick solution.

In the attached screenshot the desktop icons on the left are minimized programs. Clicking on them restores the windows. This way I need no task manager to get the overview of running programs. I just use the show desktop shortcut or key combo and there everything is.

To make a usable Linux desktop requires a bit of imagination in arranging panels and making some of your own .desktop shortcuts for the menus. Although they might look pretty, the stock configurations are not very efficient. So I rice it a bit then get a interface that fits my work flow.

You can also install compiz and use compiz features for desktop rendering. I don't do that any more. I like to keep things lean and mean.

If you really want things to be fast and customized you can install rofi or jgmenu and make custom menus with scripted actions.
