p good money if you can get it

money for nothing really

it's free money for contibuting absolutely nothing to the system

rent out a property, sit back and let the money flow in

so my brother asked me to have a look at his notebook because his system didnt boot correctly. fixed the shit, then started X (he has gnome as DE) and HOLY FUCK thats so UGLY

sorry this is /pol/ talk

@icecream what is ugly? gnome?

thats literally unity just even worse

yes gnome

yea not my bag

what's the best looking most demanding DE for a thinkpad T420? KDE? I want eye candy fams

cinnamon? mint meme?

>KDE

lxde?

Use Enlightenment

I use Fedora with cinammon

you pleb

I use i3

on debian

you can go with fluxbox if you want minimal

or just use Xfce

xfce is surprisingly heavy

I used to used LXLE, that's a cool distro

looks nice

Xfce is the only one thats not completely bullshit

xfce is nice though

>distro

im literally using xfce everywhere.

You can customize it so it looks great and it's not that ressource hungry.

I was thinking of trying out Ubuntu Studio just for keks

isn't lxle just lubuntu with a different DE?

wow

don't get me wrong xfce is gud it's just gotten quite a bit fatter than it used to be

LXDE is with GTK2

LXQT is with QT

Which sucks.

afaik they are killing off LXDE slowly

@Deleted User no point in using ubuntu for looks now that Mir will never arrive

@Deleted User might as well get on the wayland train

choo choo

Yeah.

I tried using my T420 for video editing but you saw how that turned out

the Somake video

no point

I'll just go full Linux

there's some video editing distro

Also LXDE is just so damn ugly it's just not normal. Even with themes and shit

like a live distro with just video editing tools or some shit

I think

yeah Pitivi is the one everyone uses right?

for linux video editing

it's okay

i dunno, I don't do any video editing

literally just shoot videos of my doggo doing tricks

and put them on the youtubes

I tried to render a video at maximum 4k on my rig, it listed up 4 hours to render it

straight from my phone

as all settings cranked

I'm part of the problem with youtube

>part of the problem

at least I keep my shitty videos unlisted tho

http://papyros.io/

tfw

lol

>material design

>but arch linux

AARRGH

is there a decent debian metapackage to get a lazy one like me switched over to wayland

<<<MATERIAL DESIGN>>>

that'll break so fast

@shadowedROM maybe debian rolling

@shadowedROM but wayland still pretty junky

progress in Linux seems slow as molasses

??? https://packages.debian.org/sid/kwin-wayland

not much has changed in 4 years

W A Y L A N D

@Deleted User probably a factor of how much they get paid

ye

i blame macos

it stole a lot of mindshare

tbh adromeda coming out next year will be nice

will make other OSes more 'mainstream'

a lot of people who would've been using a linux desktop switched over to the mac

steamOS + adromeda will only be good for linux

just dump the users coming from windows or fagOS straight to Gentoo

lol ya icecream

that's the general strat

SINK OR SWIM MOTHERFUCKERS

HERES THE HANDBOOK

tbh ubuntu is cancer for switching people to linux

yes

Awful Reviews crashed out after an hour

people just need Gentoo + i3

he couldn't handle it

Problems literally solved

Ubuntu was too complex for him

lolwat

>Ubuntu being too complex

HOW

ubuntu is so damn newfag friendly

i mean, they'd be running slackware or something otherwise and installing tarball binaries

he was in here raging about it at the time

people who can't even figure out linux enough to do basic tasks are like the people who look under the hood of their car and wonder what goes in the cap labeled 710

nothing is better than installing tarball bins

wait there is. compiling shit yourself

gentoo is fine

i wish there was a good preseed mechanism for it

or is there and i'm dumb

oh i see https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=126045

i'm dumb.

brb installing gentoo on everything

I'm just comfortable enough with bash to be able to completely fuck up my entire system any day now

just knowledgable and comfortable enough to do some real damage

like, with a forkbomb?

https://awesome.naquadah.org/

like formatting a usb drive and accidentally dd my system drive sort of thing, for one

that's just careless

I know that's coming any day now

that's what I mean

just comfortable enough, and just inexperienced enough, to really fuck shit up

i think running btrfs or using mdadm as your boot drive and then having some obscure bug bite you is more painful

it's not that scary tho because it's linux and I can have my system back up and running relatively quickly voV

obvious fuckups are like a quick stab of pain that you can brush off

lol ya

tru

http://www.trinitydesktop.org/

wow

look at this:

https://blogs.kde.org/comment/9416#comment-9416

found systemd shill

www

ewww

trinity looks like aero winshit

we're at the cusp of somebody making a containeros and making everything live in a container

hehe, cusp

idk what to feel about that

that's a funny word

Why can't freetards design

😦

yeah trinity is for windows fags stuck in aero time

@transience too many engineers, not enough faggots

whoah, for some reason the touchpad on my chinkpad acts like a graphics tablet

too much bikeshedding

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_Law_of_Triviality

>talk linux
>all the underagers disappear

we have the answer

the final solution

I'm back

you think :^)

nah bring back the fresh meat

hehehhe

fuck

I wasnt gone

I really don't think the bikeshedding is so much of a problem

@Aerkusa container everything is already a meme in all the startups and becoming so in every enterprise env, but could very well be a thing on the desktop - imagine every pacman/apt/yum call living in a container for instance

ya sure a lot of people are doing trivial shit

but I don't think they are capable of doing anything else

to take care of the "zomg python2to3" problem

like I think you cut your teeth on trivial shit

i think it's just a problem of no one wants to design for a platform no one uses

the people doing the non-trival shit get no airtime

that's why 2017 is the year of the linux desktop, boys

we're really doing it this time

itshappening.jpg

when's unity 8 meant to hit again?

like 2012

lolol

unity s m h

originally

it just takes a killer app amirite. kodi is weirdly the king of the linux tvscreens

I want a linux desktop that looks aesthetic yet practical

and kodi sucks

yea but kodi works on android and windows too

I like kodi 😢

me too

i love kodi

but it sucks as a project

oh

it's a friggin mess

yea it's a mess

kodi is nice but feels like a hackjob sometimes

but tbf I don't think they set out to design the faggotyess mainstream pirating software since napster

too many people care about the linux desktop to just `settle` with one project

yeah they didn't

it just grew too big because of MUH JAILBROKED FIRE STICKS

that's open sauce fer ya

can't control it

when xbmc started tho

they couldn't have foreseen firesticks and shit

so yea it's a total hackjob

no but you see they kept at it and added tons of goodness to it

idk if they can ever refactor it to make it not a mess and still keep it nice

kodi should have been like 10 different projects

instead of one <<<bloat>>>

it still can run under 1gByte of ramz

kind of insane in this day and age and with all the shit it does

ONE

BYTE

yea but I mean the interface and plugins are shit

OF

DEDICATED

V

RAM

Was at a IT university today.

every new version breaks every plugin, too

There was this professor or "designer"

He explicitly told us

That

We should move away from everything "smart"

And move away from "screen"

Instead of an app opening your car door.

wuts an it university

He wanted a sensor in his car door, that could open itself when the phone was near.

ITU.

nice nice, prof shilling IoT

wtf you dont need internet for that

he has failure to grasp a bunch of simple things about 3A's and UI

our did today too

he showed us Oracle ads

lol

java runs on 3 ~~billion~~ devices

IoT doesn't mean it has to be able to browse firefox

imagine your car watching porn on firefox while you're away

opening a car door is an authentication, authorization, and locality of reference problem

my car barely even has a computer

nah ur car has tons of uC's

yeah

it's a computar more powerful than Apollo's

He wanted us to design a communication tool

lel

just not a PEECEE

apollo opened their cars with a handle

our prof literally said that today

With no screens

with apollo

topkek

Our target audience were strangers from Denmark to Japan.

my car is a '95 bronco

doesn't mean shit tho

I was sat in a group consisting of me and 3 girls.

apollo's computers are way more interactive and functional

it's an interface difference

it has one computer and a couple ICs

ya

This dominant girl was rambling about balls

OH

LETS MAKE A BALL

THAT
