Progressive JPEG posted:id like my linux to look like this tia *sigh*  this quasi-BeOS look was really pretty and still looks good 14 years later. You don't need alpha composited effects out the rear end to look nice and I bet this actually used X in a remoteable way too instead of being all like "here's a 60fps stream of bitmaps, splat them on the screen" oh KDE, how far you have fallen.

Mr Dog posted:*sigh* the "60 fps stream of bitmaps" problem comes from lovely font rendering. in the early 2000s there were two competing methods to render TTF: the Sun way and the wrong way. Sun had a server-side service that would allow you to upload a text string, then spit out the bitmap where you wanted it. (xfstt) everyone else had pango. a client-side library that did the same thing, requiring you to upload the output bitmap to the server. not a lot of point to using x11 vector primitives or what have you to draw gui elements when you're just going to upload all the text as bitmaps anyway. i guess xrender at least made THIS part of the problem less bad.

I installed fedora on my laptop and I got some weird font issues but I can't reproduce them anymore maybe the problem was solved when I did a yum update?  oh yeah, I tried to install it with a dvd (I'm a dumbass) and anaconda exploded in the middle of the first try

yeah the thing that uses some bespoke scripts with python and tmux it seems bad about dealing with errors, in this case it was probably an error reading a package from the dvd I guess

with an automatic installer, you can read the source code of linux to make sure the code isn't gonna hack you, but in addition, you get to read the source code of the installer to make sure it's not injecting anything into the linux code! it's two layers of security checks!

notable features of xfce:
it's not an accident that kde shares these features. basically use anything that isn't gnome 3 or that ubuntu trash and you'll come out ahead in life

Is there a good desktop environment for linux yet? Last time i checked they all looked like crap. I clicked on the link with Plasma 5 on the last page. Sadly the fonts and the font rendering is laughably lovely, the window buttons and everything else have this really unsettling amateurish look that makes me nauseous. What else is there? I'd like to use the Suse system, but everything looks like crap. What are the window managers which look most like a professional actually worked on them currently?
