  1. @gbetous @FiolaKais @itsfoss Distro does matter a bit. On #AlpineLinux GNOME takes less than 1GB, sometimes around 900MB or a bit less.

    Btw, I'm currently testing Alpine #XFCE on one old PC and #FunOS (Ubuntu with systemd but no Snap + #JWM) on another, and both around 300MB or less! Flatpaks enabled on both.

    (I thought I boosted this seven weeks ago. Mind playing tricks on me. It's one of a few things on my ridiculously long reading list that I actually do keep revisiting. I don't know what to think. I'm reading it in overlapping chunks.)

  18. Between sumo matches I have been playing around with #JWM on the #OrangePiRV2 tonight.

    I like the idea of regularly using a simple window manager but trying to get all the programs/apps/packages to play nice with each other can be a pain.

  21. #KDEPlasma (x11 and Wayland) chuuuuuuuuug.

    #LXQt ran fine had some inconsistent graphical issues. I will stick with #XFCE over this DE.

    #JWM seemed fine. But I am not in the mood to set it up.

    #Enlightenment installed but would not launch after boot. #Mate is “available” but wont install due to missing dependencies.

  25. In my "testing" #XFCE has been running very well with no noticeable issues. #Gnome looked good but ran slow and #LXDE had lots of glitches with the DE setup. I installed #JWM (have not tested) and plan to install #KDE to try out if available.

    Web browsers are a very meh. #Dillo works okay, but is not great for "modern" websites. #Chromium (from Orange Pi) works okay but is very slow; standard Chromium is not available. #Epiphany was sooooo slow that is was not usable. #Konqueror installed but was missing dependencies to function. #Surf is working okay; good for basic sites but chugs on more demanding sites like Youtube.

    Terminal apps all seem to be working fine. Simple apps like #GoodVibes and #Kpat work with out issues.

    3D Games were not playable if they even loaded up. #Minetest opened but was like 1 frame per 3 seconds. #TuxCart installed but would not open.

    So far on the #OrangePiRV2 the definitive winners are XFCE, Sakura (teminal), GoodVibes, Kpat, and #plank

  29. I am still tinkering with the #MangoPiQuad. I think I got a good understanding of #JWM and #Compton. Also had to play with a bunch of web browsers to see what works best and is fully functional (so that I can #toot); so far #Epiphany has worked the best on this low powered machine (but just barely 😬).

  33. If someone can look over my #JWM config and #Compton config, I would greatly appreciate it. I am trying to set it up so that my web browsers and #Geany are always opaque while everything else has some level of transparency. Currently whatever is active is opaque and what is inactive has transparency. Here is the codeburg link to my files: https://codeberg.org/jlwthejobber/Config-Files.git

    Thanks in advance.
