@subca you mean this #GNOME maps?

@mala I've been using #Mate since it replaced #GNOME Fallback as the default desktop for #Trisquel. I'm very happy with it, even on a 10 year old 32-bit netbook bought with XP on it. I shudder to think what it would be like trying to run a newer Windows OS on it. Without desktop GNU/Linux, I'd probably have to buy a newer 2nd hand laptop every couple of years to have a useable PC.

#Ubuntu 19.10 is out! #GNOME takes a patent troll to court, Disney+ doesn't know how to #Linux, and a simple tool for calibrating your monitor. Shownotes & podcast http://bit.ly/LWDW193

@Blort
> #PostmarketOS - isn't this more just a low level base? Does it actually have userland apps?

I don't know much about this project yet. But my impression is their goal is get a standard GNU/Linux base system running on an Android device, which can then be used with #GNOME, #KDE, or any other DE that has a touchscreen version. I presume they will supply ready-to-use ROMs with these for each device they liberate.

Kudos to @cwebber and @apconf for putting the #ActivitypubConference (#apconf) videos online on #Peertube.

Peertube already gives us a great alternative to #YouTube, but it's problem is a lack of viewers, because of the lack of content uploaded to the platform (& being new).

That's why it's great to see #Apconf help break the catch 22 by sharing their videos at:

Here's hoping we see other conferences follow their lead! (#kde #gnome etc. I'm looking at you!)

I wonder if I'm the only one who ever considered that #Tusky is the #Gnome of the #Fediverse client world, while #Fedilab is #KDE.

I love them both. One has a beautifully simple, clean, gets-out-of-your-way interface. One is infinitely customizable and full of features to tweak that you never even realized you wanted!

💕 to both! (Gnome/Tusky/Fedilab/KDE)

@AesAthena yup, you can (in theory) use any DE (Desktop Environment) on any GNU/Linux distro. But it's better to pick the DE you want to use, and pick a distro that uses it a the default. If you have a reasonably recent computer, #GNOME will probably work for you, but I find #Mate is great for older computers, and still offers a UX that will feel reasonably familiar to longtime Windows users.

Now that I have my x1, the x230 #Thinkpad is my "let's play with stuff that might break my workflow" computer.

Today I installed #CinnamonDesktop for the first time in years. It's more forgiving on a 1366x768 screen than #Gnome. Neat.

@clacke You were trying clipboard managers for #gnome recently, weren't you?
Did you find one that actually worked on, say, Fedora 30?

I'm trying to use the company-sanctioned desktop here, but no clipboard manager is a deal-breaker. KDE SIG, here I come...

@CharredStencil @mike #Sandstorm was another approach with the same goal, making installing and configuring apps on remote servers as easy as doing the same thing on a modern desktop or mobile OS. I've heard it suggested that #GNU #Guix could also be used to achieve that goal. I suspect this field is about where GNU/Linux distros were around the time #KDE and #GNOME came out.

In related news:
Is it true that #Gnome #Rhythmbox can not save the progress of the audio files I listen to - making it useless for audiobooks?

I'd love to see the functionality of #SyncThing integrated into file managers like #Files (#GNOME), #Dolphin (#KDE), #Caja (in #Mate). Maybe with plug-ins? Flipping back and forth between the folder representations in the SyncThing GUI and the file manager can get really confusing and makes for an awkward #UX.
