Recently went #DistroSurfing to look at some #Linux desktop environments. Did I enjoy your favourite or not? :P https://superjamie.github.io/2022/12/24/distro-surfing-2022 #MATE #Cinnamon #XFCE #GNOME #Pantheon #LXQt #Budgie #KDE

@globalc I stole most of my keybindings are usage patterns from i3, so Sway would be interesting to try. I'll try find a LiveCD with it. Start a survey at work, there hasn't been one for a good few years. I recall it came up every so often in the distant past.

@codewiz @globalc For years now I've been using MATE desktop with i3-like keybindings and usage pattern (always maximised or tiled left/right). Before that I used the same keybindings with Openbox and mate-settings-daemon. I use both of those for the reasons you said. That's been very productive for me. I agree it's nice to have all those conveniences.

@misty Try running tools which are a similar age to the source files. I recently had to wrangle some old autotools source that newer autotools didn't work with. I ended up installing a virtual machine with Linux of a similar vintage to the source files (Ubuntu 12.04) and that worked fine. It feels slightly "wrong" to use such old tools, but hey if it generates the output you want (a PDF?) then it works.

By randomly typing letters into the commandline I discovered "fc" which lets you edit the last command in an editor (also any other command or set of commands from the shell history). Useful!

@me_ I have a friend who upgraded his computer from 4M to 8M, however the computer shop made a mistake and *added* 8M. He had people coming over to his house just to see this computer boot up with a gargantuan TWELVE megabytes of RAM! Those were the days.

The new ".zip" domain is being used almost solely for malware. Some of the clicks are very deceptive, even to technically knowledgeable people. See the attached image for an example.You can block all zip domains with the following uBlock Origin rule:||zip^Tell everyone you know.

@hehemrin I've been playing with Debian 12 since the first RC installer and have gradually moved all my laptops over to it. I find it great, in particular this latest XFCE is really nice, I haven't had any problems.

A bug in MATE Desktop has decided for me. My new distro and desktop is #Debian with #XFCE. Things are very good. I'm still using a bunch of MATE apps like Caja (file manager), Engrampa (archiver), Atril (document viewer) but those all integrate fine. I kinda wish #LinuxMint would move to #LMDE as the main distro, Debian could do with the extra polish and settings and helper apps.
