Hi, this is a long lasting problem that I didn't really manage to fix when I started using linux (Mint, Cinnamon). But now that I've been using it regularly for half a year and I have more experience in fiddling around, I'm trying to get it resolved....
As a macOS user, my #Linux journey began with trying to make my DE look & work like #macOS, but with the added features a Linux DE provides - first #GNOME, then #KDE, finally settling on #Cinnamon as my favorite.
Then @thelinuxEXP released his video about bad UX design where he trashed the concept of a menu to launch apps & demonstrated how GNOME’s approach is superior… 🤔
This week, in our #Linux and #OpenSource News video, we have more work on HDR support, #Ubuntu improving their PPA system, and a security flaw in #KeePass, the open source password manager, plus #cinnamon being adopted by more distros, and a new XFCE spin.
So, I finally got around to installing #windows11 Professional Edition in a virtual machine and chose the lightest options possible throughout the install process. It still forces 7 apps into the pinned apps portion of the start menu which were completely unsolicited. They can be uninstalled, but still...
Did I mention this was the Professional Edition?
On a good note, the UI strikes the perfect balance between #kde and #cinnamon. We could use a desktop environment like this in #linux.
Goodbye Fedora, welcome Debian.
First impressions: I had to reinstall Cinnamon desktop a few times because it failed to start after login. But other than that it seems pretty good. Will see how it goes. #debian#cinnamon#distrohopping#linux#distro#fosserytech
Coucou, Copine #couche8 a encore frappé !!!
Elle est sous #linuxmint#cinnamon
Elle a réussi a faire disparaitre l’icône de réglage audio de la barre des taches. pas moyen de le retrouver, il n'apparait pas dans le choix des trucs qu'on peut ajouter...
Elle est trop forte.
Donc si quelqu'un a une idée de comment faire revenir cette icône ce serait cool.

My general issue with Gnome is I cannot always find the apps I want to use. They are not always viewable on the Windows 8-like menu.
"But... but... You can search for it."
That works some of the time, but not all the time. And you are also assuming I can recall exactly what the name of the app is too, and how it is spelled, because not all the apps use English titles.
Give me a nicely organized menu like the likes of Cinnamon, KDE, or LXQT, for example.
Well, it must be a KDE, Budgie, Lxqt, or Cinnamon issue, you should install Gnome."
🙄
Gnome is not the be all, above all, to fix all. But their user base is so overbearing and sometimes toxic, that as soon as they learn someone is not using Gnome, they point to that as the possible cause.
I'm not joking, by the way, they'll even claim a 3rd party web issue on not using Gnome. 🙄
Auf einem 10 Jahre alten Desktop-Computer für Bürozwecke mit 8 GB RAM und einer 4-Kern-CPU ohne Hyperthreading habe ich einige Linux-Distributionen ausprobiert, um zu testen, ob man damit noch gut arbeiten kann.
Wie erwartet, liefen #GNOME und #KDE nicht ganz flüssig (getestet unter #DebianLive).
An MX Linux hat mich anfangs gestört, dass die von XFCE gewohnten Tastenkürzel (wie z.B. Alt-F10 zum Maximieren eines Fensters) nicht funktionierten. Die Lösung dafür war schnell gefunden:
Startmenü → Einstellungen → Fensterverwaltung → Tastatur → Klick auf [Auf Standardwerte zurückstellen].
To get that “full desktop” experience I am reinstalling #VoidLinux with the @xfce iso. I am still staying with #musl. I will probably install #Cinnamon too.
#Gnome was okay, but the inability to easily install the extensions was a no bueno for me. My gnome needs to have some spice; vanilla doesn’t cut it 🌶️
On #Debian 11, the whole system along with #XFce was taking 500 MB of RAM. On Debian 12, the system takes 850 MB of RAM. On Trixie/Sid-unstable, it takes 1.3 GB. I honestly don't know what they're shoving in it.
With #Cinnamon and #Gnome, it takes 1.6 GB on idle. Since when Cinnamon, a gnome2/gtk3 fork takes (or should take) as much RAM as Gnome4/gtk4? Something's amiss.
I love the bing daily wallpapers, I especially love that they seem to always have a related wallpaper if it's a UN recognised 'day'. For example, today is Bee Day!
