gnome 3 would be nice but it's completely unfuckingusable. you cant set the background of a terminal to be partially transparent. end of story.

kubuntu 15.04 is going to come with plasma 5, which looks fantastic and is pretty stable/usable now it doesnt run very well on my 1.6GHz core 2 duo thinkpad though

Palace of Hate posted:also all my windows had a robot tit on them and so I had to dig through 3 different included config apps to remove the tit. idk i barely ever noticed that but it was easy to remove k menu -> system settings -> workspace apperance -> window decorations -> oxygen is selected since that's what i'm using -> configure buttons -> check box for use custom titlebar positions, drag that button out of the titlebar mockup the only thing i don't think is ideal there is the term "workspace appearance" calling the title bars and stuff part of a "workspace"

they're actually transparent, like the KDE terminals have been for years gnome ones very well may have been this way for years too, but i know this functionality was removed in early gnome 3 and just now felt motivated to try out some fedora a tiny bit of transparency is nice when you have a ton of terminal windows open, i keep them opaque enough that it isnt distracting at all but i can still see whats behind the terminal if i want to

looks like i'll be giving away/setting up another linux desktop for family futurewife's little brother can really use a computer i happen to have a old dell: pentium 4? but can run a 64-bit OS, that is perfectly fine hardware-wise but cannot run any supported version of windows since win7+ drivers do not exist for its hardware, runs kubuntu 14.04 x64 very well though i can either do nothing and not help at all, or i can give away a linux desktop computer that works very well for everything but netflix (afaik) and windows-only games 2015 YOLOTD looking good so far

btrfs is great, i use it on everything, having boot-time snapshots of everything has come in handy more than once software raid is great for single-machine filers, i really like the idea of rebuilding the data after a disk is replaced instead of rebuilding the entire block device containing a filesystem that might only be 30% used srs question: bit flips in reading data are rare but can and do happen, what do you do with a RAID 1 where the two copies disagree? i assume most RAID 1 implementations just read one of the two copies to give any data the OS asks for but if you do a consistency check or something, what happens with btrfs or zfs the answer is "the copy with the correct checksum is used to repair the other one" which is neato

i dislike gnome for multiple reasons (kde 5 lookin reallly good by the way) but lack of a minimize button is not one of them it has probably been years since i minimized a window, if i dont need it i dont need to have the program open, if i don't need it now and its getting in my way i move it to another desktop desktops which are arranged in a rectangular grid by the way, as god intended

theres a "netbook" kde spin that uses a interface thats a bit better for touch than the full desktop, and i think it's automatically chosen if your vertical screen resolution is <= something like 600px https://www.kde.org/workspaces/plasmanetbook/screenshots/netbook.png

i just installed gentoo in a new VM and configured it to use systemd to see what the fuss and blog posts and wailing and gnashing of teeth is about works pretty well for the most part, minus my current unfamiliarity with how to manage a systemd machine and ~15 years of inertia with using gentoo's previous init system (OpenRC isnt that old but it mimics the interface/configuration style of stuff that existed in 2000 or so) only thing i didnt manage to figure out was auto-mounting NFS filesystems in a working way, and that would have probably taken a few more minutes that i didnt have before leaving home this morning some things were a bit weird like one of the NFS client things failing to start because one of its prerequisites wasn't enabled, but idk whether that's my fault for not knowing the terminology, i.e. does "disabled" mean "doesn't start at boot automatically" or "prevented from starting even if a prerequisite of something else", or whether its gentoo's fault for not having all of the service definitions systemd-ized yet even still i would think that id get a message like "can't start rpc-statd or whatever since prereq rpc-something-else is disabled", instead of "can't start rpc-statd or whatever, good luck figuring out why"

install a daily build of kubuntu 15.04, it has kde 5 (which owns and is a hell of a lot better than gnome 3) and systemd as of a few days ago and it works really well prerelease versions sometimes break stuff during updates but that doesnt happen much a month or so before release

i mean i can see some systemd developers having public git repos linux for any kernel tweaks to better support some of systemd's features, like improving the cgroups abi or whatever idk, and i can also see a jackass publishing this as "the systemd project includes their own kernel fork now too!" this is clearly a guy who made a fake github account "systemdaemon", made a systemd repo containing linux without even bothering to make it look remotely real (by starting with the real systemd history instead of extracting a source tarball and git committing that, for one), making a few inflammatory comments and getting it posted on distrowatch yeah it would be funny two days from now
