• Please don’t theme our apps

  Sure, and if they just said "we'll close tickets for anything to do with theming" or similar, it'd be fine, but instead we get: > We understand the need for distributions to stand out. However, we urge you to find ways to do this without taking away our agency. We are tired of having to do extra work for setups we never intended to support, just to have that used against us when people tell us the breakage from... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Vanilla OS 2.0 Orchid base is changing from Ubuntu to Debian

  Something like Regolith perhaps? https://regolith-linux.org/ Or did you mean just GNOME but with more keyboard driven window management? If so there is tiling assistant extension for GNOME that isn’t bad from what I’ve heard. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• What is a good alternative desktop environment to GNOME with these properties?

  You may want to try out the regolith-linux DE, its gnome+i3 sort of mixed together. https://regolith-linux.org/ Its a bit unusual in some ways compared to 'normal' gnome and i3. But its usable, and has sane defaults normally, you can tweak it like crazy if you want to learn how it works. Source: over 1 year ago

  Https://regolith-linux.org/ best implementation of i3 on Ubuntu out-the-box (and other distros) imo. Check it out. Source: almost 2 years ago

• tiling/floating window manager hybrid?

  Https://regolith-linux.org/ - regolith has its own .iso but you can also install the regolith packages on top of standard ubuntu as well. Source: about 2 years ago

• Can my computer run linux VM?

  If you still want to try it on a VM, I'd recommend assigning just 1 GB to it, coupled with a lightweight desktop environment, like XFCE (you can use Xubuntu). Source: 10 months ago

• Should I use Ubuntu 16 in 2023?

  To get a modern lightweight Linux experience you can use a recent version of one the Ubuntu flavours that is optimized for low-resource machines: either Xubuntu (with XFCE) or Lubuntu (with LXQt). Source: 11 months ago

• Why does resizing windows in Linux desktop don't feel quite as "snappy" as in other OSes?

  It works just fine for me in Xubuntu (Ubuntu with Xfce Desktop environment : https://xubuntu.org/ ). Source: 12 months ago

• Distro Suggestion

  I run an older spec of the HP Stream. There's no perfect solution, it will be a bit laggy, but I've had good enough performance from the Fedora XFCE Spin and Xubuntu. Source: 12 months ago
