![]() ![]() then went back to Mate and decided to mod it a bit further. I did try KDE because of mate restrictions for about 10 minutes before uninstalling it again. With that said, I've been able to almost get mate to mimic my previous XFCE setup, using a python script which auto changes wallpaper on workspace switch and hydrapaper for per-monitor wallpapers.īut I do feel a bit restricted, and it feels super weird going back to something I left years ago. ![]() I think I switched around the 4.6 release period which dates to around 2009. ![]() I switched to XFCE back before Gnome 3 was released, so I was using G2 prior to switching to XFCE. It's actually throwing me back some memories here though. but I did spend about 3 hours just going through settings editing things (even in dconf) and forcing it to allow me to disable gnome-keyring in favour of KeepassXC which works perfectly once done. It's also possible I missed a few settings. Ofc, these are a personal preference thing and ofc you can't expect all environments to be the same. I mean it does miss a few things I really like about XFCE, for example, per-monitor wallpapers, or per-workspace wallpapers, "intelligent" panel hiding (hides when window is maximized, but shows when not), ability to edit the Stick/Min/Max/Close window button layout/settings etc all of which are out of the box supported on XFCE. That is where the lutris package was up until recently when it was uploaded to Debian Sid.Yup, it's very useful for anyone looking for a simple multi-distro way of distributing packages Quoting: Purple Library GuyWell, I know you will be looking for ways to get back to your preferred desktop, but as a Mate user I'd like to say I hope it treats you well while you're a refugee.Well. Quoting: slaapliedjeOBS supports building for Debian based systems as well. See more on the Zorin OS website and the Beta release post. They offer up for normal desktop users a Core (free) download with the usual stuff and a Ultimate (paid) edition that comes with a few extras. However, Zorin OS does it a little differently. You can pay to download it, or pay nothing. Interestingly, their monetization model for supporting their work is a little like another Ubuntu-based distribution elementary OS. You can easily customize the look and feel of Zorin OS 16 with their new and improved Zorin Appearance application, a more customizable desktop look with the taskbar having plenty of tweaks available, a new Windows 10X-like desktop appearance is also coming soon for those who want it, fractional scaling support, wobbly windows effects and all the back-end improvements from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Their software store tweak will also enable you to choose between different sources, and they say the software store has " received many under-the-hood optimizations as well as user interface improvements". How though? Well, they go all in with everything! It has support for Snaps, Flatpaks with Flathub, the Ubuntu and Zorin OS APT repositories and that's on top of supporting installs from. They claim it has "the largest library of apps available out-of-the-box of any Open Source desktop ever". ![]() Perhaps the biggest and boldest claim they're making is about the software you can get out of the box. They also say on the whole Zorin OS 16 "runs dramatically snappier on a wide range of hardware, old and new" thanks to updates and optimizations from the Kernel up to the Desktop Environment and so apps "open faster, animations are smoother, and loading times are reduced so you can spend more time being productive". Zorin OS definitely screams "look at me!". With a sleek white look it's definitely eye-grabbing, along with a blue accent which you can customize. It sure does look slick!įeaturing a brand new look for their GNOME-based desktop, Zorin OS 16 is quite easy on the eyes - as long as you like everything bright that is. The Zorin team are making some bold claims with the release of the Ubuntu-based Zorin OS 16 Beta that anyone can go ahead and try out now. ![]()
