GNOME. Love the simplicity!

Always ran xfce on my old used thinkpads!

I have to use macOS at work and I sorely miss the efficiency and simplicity of gnome.

I’ve spent a lot of time configuring and tweaking various DEs in the last 20 years, but somehow gnome shell nailed it for me.

Happy to have many options as a Linux user!

It’s very minimalist and the project ditched the Windows-style approach some years ago. Personally, I’ve grown to love it and other DEs feel bloated now.

To each their own 🤷‍♂️

I was gonna say, I don’t like to victim blame but why would people be grubbing around these days to begin with?

Ansible is so simple yet so elegant.

My company only requires that I run their AV agent (bit defender).

Microsoft Teams is even flakier than on Windows (yes, it’s possible…)

Righteous!

This is not a subscription but a perpetual license and for my needs it’s already well worth the price they are asking. Using this actively with my wife but also sharing albums with about 8 other family members.

I find the no-subscription model very attractive and I’m open minded to companies trying out new software licensing approaches. I like the idea of the developers getting paid for their good work and being able to do it full time.

This just means that this project is still too early in development for you. The breaking changes happening in this phase are going to pay off in the long run and prevent the project from getting bogged down.

I would give it another shot when they release v2

I was in those masses. They sent me a free CD in the mail when I was a teenager!

Sometimes I use Drawing for adding some annotations but I mostly just paste directly from the screenshot tool.

In terms of editing, I work more with SVG where I use a very simple editor BoxySVG.

Yea, none of those things matter to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had plenty of fun customizing DEs but I don’t really need that on my daily driver. I also have more of a terminal based workflow so perhaps shell customization scratches that itch for me.

To each their own :)

One man’s “basic” things are another man’s clutter …

Did you ever find the missing packets?

That’s nice, I think I’ll switch from Firefox ESR on Debian!

Crunchbang (#!) linux breathed live into some very wimpy hardware I’ve had in the past.

Loved the minimalism.

In my student years, I always ran with Xubuntu on a used thinkpad.

Although I’m a gnome guy these days, I still need Thunar as my default file manager. It’s nearly perfect…

I run Debian with gnome, headless and raspi and love it.

Used Ubuntu for years, also had a good time and still respect the project even though it deviated from my needs.

Sometimes I’ll boot up something new just to poke around but I’m happy sticking with Debian for the time being.
