this is the way

xubuntu. stable and apps are reasonably up to date. i'll probably switch to mint with the whole snaps thing though. fedora is the one distro i never tried in my distro hopping phase though so...

yeah i just read this post header, carried on scrolling, clicked another, and got sent to a sports post. i wouldn't mind knowing how this bug can manifest itself in such an oddly specific way, but only if it can be done in say, a character limit of 300-500 characters.

one that might play better in northern england for me - an ironic "let's 'av it". not the full on "LET'S 'AV ITTTTTTTTTTT woo" just a dead pan 'right, let's 'av it, eh?'

ahh thanks, i was wondering just how "minimal" minimal was. i was expecting something like endeavour - a configured OS but around 1500 packages. so i really appreciate that warning haha. ok better start making my list.

i hopped from arch/wm to xub too. tbh everything i learned from setting up awesome, qtile, open box etc helped me get really into the functionality of xfwm and make it really work for me. it's a little sluggish, but only compared to a completely bare bones wm. the distro hopping phase was a valuable learning experience, but i think this is a perfectly fine place to settle down.

i've been curious about the minimal edition. now that i've found replacements and workarounds in the ubuntu repos, i've been wanted to do a fresh install with that. i've got ~3100 packages just from trying stuff out and forgetting to uninstall it haha.

yeah that one annoyed me especially as the only reason netflix ever made money was because they won the war of convenience against torrent sites.

my expectations weren't very high, given how the twitter exodus played out, seeing some of the people who made very bold statements about never coming back... coming back... and subscribing to twitter blue.

you're never going to take down a giant like reddit, or twitter, or facebook, or whatever, in one swift blow. they're probably going to get through this. and your average social media user doesn't want to bring down the status quo, they just want to look at funny pictures of dogs. and that's fine. the real victory to be had is showing people that things can be done differently. enough people will stay on fedi servers to keep a community going, and by the time the next bunch of disgruntled posters come along there will be more content to keep them engaged

always nice to see peppermint rices. very underrated distro imo.

ah, this is mostly from my gtk theme, but now that i just remembered i did do a little bit of tinkering. i can't remember if there was anything else i needed to do, but i know that i needed to save this to .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. this gives the rounded edges, and corrects the foreground/background colours. i can't remember what it looked like originally but very few gtk themes actually matched well with the bar.

.xfce4-panel widget grid button.flat.toggle:checked

border-radius: 10px;
}
.xfce4-panel widget grid button.flat.toggle:hover
{
color: black;
background-color: lightgrey;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.xfce4-panel .tasklist .toggle:checked
{
color: black;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.xfce4-panel .tasklist .toggle:hover
{
color: black;
background-color: lightgrey;
border-radius: 10px;
}

just the standard xfce one

i vote sub lemmies, because i too keep catching myself say subreddits spits

don't tell anybody but i'm still doing tweets on mastodon.
