#pantheondesktop — Public Fediverse posts

And to my surprise, the Ubuntu Budgie desktop looks very close like Elementary OS Pantheon desktop.

When I install Elementary OS, I have a thought of using "sudo apt install synaptic" so I can download and install packages through Synaptic Package Manager (like I used to love doing on my previous distro). However, after using eOS for a while and still not doing that, I start to think of "just because I can, doesn't mean I should" and I don't do that. Elementary OS already feels like it is designed this way. Packages only acceptable through AppCenter and Flathub (at least if being done through the official distro package manager that is called as "AppCenter").

I wonder about how the "Background Apps" being identified. I wonder if this is somehow related to the acceptable apps (from AppCenter and Flathub repositories). Do apps being shown on the "Background Apps" are already identified apps from these two "official" means? Also, as a matter of habit, I still reguarly do "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" and "flatpak update" on the terminal. I do that reguarly to keep my system updated and I rarely use the package manager "AppCenter" to check for updates. Therefore, as a thought of experimentation, I wonder if it is possible to use "sudo apt synaptic", and use Synaptic exclusively to install and manage packages. Will doing this have any effect on the stability of Pantheon desktop or the Elementary OS? Will it still functional if I use Synpatic exclusively and not using the AppCenter? This is just a thought, but I'm not doing this right now.

The thing that I love about Elementary OS and Patheon desktop is the ability of the system that "knows" what sort of front-end GUI apps that is running in the background... I keep wondering how Elementary identifies these apps. Is it the ability of the distro (Elementary OS) or the desktop (Pantheon DE)?

The most annoying question in response to a linux user asking for help:

"Why would you want to do that?"

I want to replace the window manager in #pantheonDesktop with something like i3gaps. I want the dock and panel and most of the features of pantheon, I just want my windows to be placed automatically into zones.

Doesn't have to be a replacement wm, if gala can do it somehow.
