  1. I've ended up with , modern and it works great. 2GB VRAM allocated on with latest BIOS update (set to auto). Until I bring in more DDR4 and a dGPU SFF, this will do. O is extremely happy, game controller from has a new life, a second hand monitor for 20€ and wired network. It boots into , desktop mode Gnome is available for homework. is so last decade. Current gen will game on . Work on Linux. And will try to enforce Windows for corporate, sweeten the licenses to have IT migrate to self-hosted Linux servers.

  2. Es gibt ja nun schon einige sehr gute Screenshot Tools unter Linux aber eines, das mir persönlich ausgesprochen gut gefällt und mittlerweile auch unter Linux vorhanden ist - EShot.

  3. As part of this Friday night's procrastination, and since I am not jetlagged by #GUADEC, I bring you: harmonized GUI terminology for SIGSTOP/SIGTERM/SIGKILL that is less confusing for the average human (or gnome…) than what we currently have in gnome-system-monitor.

    gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s

    I specifically wanted it to stop using the word "Stop", because it never stops being confusing.

    Here are some screenshots of the resulting changes in my branch :blobcatcoffee:

  8. Es #viernesdeescritorio, pero como no tengo nada nuevo que compartir de mi máquina actual (excepto otro cambio de wallpaper), pongo algo más "nostálgico": el primer #screenshot "formal" que saqué en mi vida desde un #Linux.

    La imagen es de Diciembre del 2006, por lo que la distro es #Ubuntu 6.06 con #GNOME 2. En aquel entonces estaba muy emocionado por poder usar Linux activamente y sin restricciones.

  10. I've been questioning my faith with Wayland recently. Everybody's rocking these monitors with different refresh rates and resolutions. VRR, HDR, scaling all that good modern stuff. But besides all the security sandboxing aspect and it being "the only way", I have not found good reason to have wayland, just as I lost faith in God.

    Those are good, don't get me wrong but I don't use programs that cause problems when using only either two, I haven't felt the performance improvement, and I only use 2 1366x768 VGA monitors.

    Haha... I snuck this unused dusty one out for free from an office, lol. I also don't really care about screen tearing cos I've lived through it all my life.

    So I'm asking the zealots down Linux road. I ask thou to restore my faith, for fear that I may lose resolve to my faith and part ways from the way of the land...

  14. Alice, her doll & the Gibbering Mouse

    Good Morning, everyone. I hope you're doing well and feeling fine. It's been a minute since I've last posted, but there's good reason. I've been updating old pieces and writing new ones. Today, I'm going to share an old, but goody that I updated and expanded on a bit. One of these days I will get around to drawing all the characters, so you can really get to know them, but for now, we'll use the fairy and pixie above. __________________________________________ Alice, her doll and the […]

  19. I made a short for all the users out there who'd like to try but don't quite have the time or confidence to make the switch.

    I'd say PaperWM is about as good as it gets when it comes to scrolling, tiling window management on GNOME.

  24. I dusted off an old idea to show duration for walking segments of public transit itineraries that I played with a year or so back.

    Now that the list is using flowboxes, which can wrap contents to multiple lines when needed I think it will probably look better:

  26. @gnome Please also include in #accessibilty poor folks who only have access to old #lowspec computers. I love the #gnome design but often have to install a distro using xorg with #jwm or #icewm for these folks. Please have options to reduce gnome memory usage to run like 300MB or lower. Lowest Ive been able to achieve is around 900MB on Alpine which was still a lot for my cousin's 3GB RAM laptop.

  28. I've been following the development of a new #DesktopEnvironment, and I gotta say…

    Why is it.that as soon as someone makes something that's different, people swoop in and say "You have to add this feature so it works like #Gnome / #Plasma /Whateverthefuck"?

    Like… let's take the Minimize button. Useful in Windows, but far from the only way to deal with setting stuff aside. #Niri handles it with Workspaces and Columns. Gnome (by default) handles it with Overview and Workspaces plus limited snapping. I like that about Gnome and Niri (with #Noctalia or #Dank added in, Niri's my favorite).

    DEs work without minimize buttons. If someone's designing a #DE without it, and you need it, maybe you're not the target audience. Maybe it's designed for Owlbears.

    And that's just one example. I dunno. It's obviously not a big deal and everyone's entitled to their opinion. It's just weird to me to insist that a DE needs something it was obviously designed to work without.

  33. On my way from to , I've installed , and I'm totally in love! 😍

    I had to strip its settings down to bare window management, but other than that, I have no complaints.

    When I have some time, I'll install and explore what I'd be missing by leaving GNOME behind. I still intend to use the GNOME default and circle (etc.) apps, though—I just like them too much. ☺️
