This looks super promising to me, as it seems to blend the best of both tiling and floating windows. I hope they manage to work this in to future versions of Gnome.
I recently found Sideberry which looks like an improvement over TST, but I’ve been putting off switching to it because I would have to reorganize 431 tabs :')
Linus Torvalds himself had some issues compiling it or something, so it got rejected. The bcachefs dev wasn’t too happy and thru a hissy fit, calling the whole process “kafkaesque”, and declared that he’ll be going offline for a while.
How many members does the development team behind Nitrux consist of? I think it’s a very cool project, but I tend to be cautious with distros that aren’t safe from the bus factor. While googling for answers; I’ve only seen the primary/main developer being named. Can anyone provide a conclusive answer on the matter?
This is like a mythical distro for me. I hear about it here and there, usually in the context of it being on top of DistroWatch and why that does not mean anything, but never really known anyone who actually uses it or recommends it.
That doesn’t make it bad or even obscure of course, because even an outstanding distro like openSuse gets very less screen-time nowadays. But somehow this is one distro I have never installed or even had the urge to find out more about.
I am using MX for a couple of years now, 5 or 6. I used Ubuntu for years and one time I saw MX top of DistroWatch so I installed it, with Xfce, I really like it, just some tweak here and there for the “panel” to have a taskbar etc, and that’s it. Superb distro. It’s on my work PC for years, I will switch to 23 soon.
I use it. It’s certainly a distro. For my laptop, I wanted something based on Debian to match my server, and i didn’t want to have to configure anything That’s pretty much it.
I don’t love it enough to recommend, but it’s doing its job well enough for me. Maybe it’s problem is that it’s boring.
I’ll admit, I haven’t really experimented with distros in a while. Not since I installed Debian on my server.
Personally, I consider that a feature. Most of my machines are on Debian Stable, though I do keep a distro-hopping laptop around which is on the newly released Mint at the moment. I just use Flatpaks for the odd application that I need the very latest version of (e.g., Yuzu emulator). I will give MX a try sometime, at least in a VM.
the thing it offers is no systemd, and the mx-linux gui tools to configure your system. Also the advanced hardware support (AHS) is a neat feature. They basically take Debian and make it slightly more user friendly. It’s just less well known than something like ubuntu or mint.
I’ve been out of the loop about Linux and I’ll be switching back to it this weekend. What’s the best way to run VMs on Linux now (that supports Wayland)?
GNOME Boxes is actually simpler than Virtualbox, in my opinion, with all the options you’ll need. It even lets you install a variety of ISOs straight from the interface, without needing to go out to the web. Of course, if you’re installing Windows, you need to supply your own ISO file.
Virt-Manager can be unintuitive but it’s plenty capable.
@MrShelbySan@wildbus8979 You pretty much always want to be using KVM. QEmu, VMM, VirtualBox, Gnome Boxes, and some other apps all support it. The rest is just down to what app/tools you prefer.
I use a virtualbox vm for work. Linux desktop runs a windows VM with Windows 10 and all my work stuff on it. I love it, its been very reliable. Its mostly simple though, it doesn’t need to be super speedy, just needs to house my orgs mandatory vpn and av so I can connect to my work stuff.
