Yeah, im rocking that sexy wallpaper now

Almost forgot to post a screenshot this month:

Switched to KDE to see if i can stick with it this time.
Configured it the way i had the workflow on my MATE desktop. So far mostly good except few minor things i dont like with the panels and dolphin.

New theme with a mix of borrowed PopOS icons.

@Xpander - I tried to switch away from MATE myself a few times. I like KDE but it never managed to beat the simplicity I found in MATE and especially Caja still remains the most comfortable file manager for my workflow.

I still use caja on KDE because of that. And yeah i have tried to switch many times before but usually after day or 2 i come back to MATE cause its simple yet configurable and also super snappy.

Actually the caja to be able to just type in a lot of letters to search for a specific file on a folder you are in is amazing, this option doesnt seem to be a case for dolphin, yeah theres a filter but its 1 more click or keybind to to the same i could just start typing.

A bit late posting for June as well:

I'd always used light themes, but the theme I was using (mojave-light) started to get buggy with GNOME 40 and Firefox Proton. I begun to search for a new theme, but I couldn't find one that could become a replacement. I decided to finally give using a dark theme a try.

I switched to arc-dark. I used to use arc-darker a long time ago, back when I was using the now-defunct Antergos. It's great that jnsh picked up the maintainership of it so that arc could live again.

Quoting: GuestFirst time sway and Wayland. I like it a lot. Wish nVidia would catch up a lot faster with proper Wayland support so my main desktop could move over too :(

I have used i3wm for ages and went to Sway recently. Absolutely love it. Far more developed than the last time I tried and so much quicker and easier to setup than X, with far fewer packages needed. And all those random extra text config files I can drop now, with nearly everything now just in the Sway config file. Had a blast with it and only a few small issues, mostly with the few remaining items that need a kick to recognise Wayland properly (Firefox and Signal) or needed XWayland to run.

Then my AMD GPU went and died. So now weeping on an Nvidia 960 borrowed from a friend on a hastily installed Ubuntu Gnome setup. Usually Arch but also ran into the Nvidia 460/465 DisplayPort bug and was trying to work that out, and only did so eventually when testing Ubuntu and realised the 460 server Nvidia drivers worked. And too tired to rebuild now until I can get rid of this Nvidia card/Nvidia provide actual support. So, here is to the crypto crash, GPUs not costing more than my car, and a return to Sway so I can post some pictures too.

Nice to see the icon of Lagrange. :wink:

Posting at close to the last possible minute but here is July:

I last posted back in March, nearly five months ago. Other than a few theme tweaks and a new wallpaper, not a huge amount has changed, despite a full re-install!

And now I am posting bright and early for August:


Not that I have been playing either of those from this machine, but whatever. :whistle:

Unleash the purple! :grin:

I don't change this thing much ha...
