All linux desktop environments are trash for the most part. All you really need is some no frills window manager to throw up some terminals and poo poo. Xfce usually does it but I've been thinking of trying one of those tiling ones with free float mode to take it even further or maybe I'll throw xmonad on top of xfce.

Also do all the major desktop environments still have gradients, bubbles, and big fades?

so fluxbox or openbox then

Ok. Back to the night he was born…

As I held him, I found myself thinking back on my own struggles in making my own source code… Free. Thinking on a world divided between freedom and restriction. Between openness of technology and a world of litigiously enforced software patents. Between total control over your personal data… and a complete lack of personal privacy.

That core struggle – between Free and Not Free – is a purely artificial one. It is a struggle that we, as humans, created for ourselves.

Source code is inherently "open"... until you close it.

Your personal information is inherently your own… until you grant others the right to take it away from you.

We are free. Until someone comes along and takes that freedom away. Or, perhaps even worse, we give it away. Willingly. In exchange for a shiny new app for our shiny new smartphone – or the illusion that we must give up that freedom for the sake of our current economic system and security.

It was at that moment, as I looked down at my sleeping son's face, that I realized something about myself.

In my mind there was no longer any excuse to keep things closed. To keep things locked down. To give away rights to our personal data. Not even a little bit. I simply would not allow a world that would treat my son and daughter in such a despicable, horrible way. A world that would force him to either give up his freedom or fight, tooth and nail, to try to reclaim freedoms that he should never have lost in the first place.

I had, somewhere along the line, become a Free Software extremist. Just like all those extremists that I'd spent so many years arguing and debating with. It just took two kids to get me there.

Yes

But I have the luxury of not dealing with systemctl too much so maybe I'll do it in the future after people realize how much it sucks and start splitting it into independent modules with low coupling and clear separation of functions so that
