^Yeah, GNOME is finally great on Debian. I just stick to stock Adwaita theme and icons, they look modern.

GNOME has always been great on Debian :)

I like the theme but I can't stand the icons, Faba is good though (IMO).

Anyway, Night Light scrot to keep this on-topic:

That is nice, looks good.

Below, to me this is really nice, I like it:

I know, with VM 's quite often a system and programs will run a little slow, that is to be
expected, so of course on real hardware everything usually seems better.
But, I found it interesting, on the other VM, also Debian Buster, even OpenBox responded slower then it would on bare metal, not much , but a little. So any way, on this one I decided to try "fluxbox", have not used it in years. I was happy and surprised to see it is "snappy", quick to respond, and seems to be ideal for on a VM.

Got sick of GNOME:

Image

Version 6.2 of dwm now runs CS:GO with no problems, which is nice.

If anybody wants that desktop I have packages here:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... esktop/dwm

The slstatus package (for the panel status readout) looks for BAT0 so it's pretty specific.

For the dwm package I've added a dwm-session script (and a matching .desktop file) that autostarts slstatus and adds itself to the x-session-manager alternative so it can be run from a display manager (or plain startx with no ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession required).

Just stock GNOME, with Dark Souls 3 Fire Keeper as wallpaper:

This is 2nd workspace, I've got a few Chromium tabs open in first, that's why it's 1.7 GB of RAM.

I love GNOME but dwm has boosted the framerate in CS:GO significantly.

Anyway, here's an action shot to stay on-topic:

I am not a big fan of XFCE, but any way, seems to be working fine on a QEMU VM, hosted by OpenBsd:
Image

Interesting to note, I upgraded today, 19, May , just before I installed the "Nemo" file manager, wanted to see if it worked any better on XFCE then it did on Fluxbox, and it did. But I see now, it is showing Debian 10 Buster , even though Buster has not been officially released yet, seems like it must be getting really close to being released now, and I am noticing a improvement, over what it was like even just a week ago.

I like the default Buster wallpaper but it's a bit too grey so I tweaked it. netinstall with kde-plasma-desktop.

Buster icewm fittstool and tint2
weird Icons at the top are tile vertically, tile horizontally. cascade (changes depending if your cascading from vert or horiz) fullscreen, maximized, minimized

then arandr,fittstool, alsamixer, weather

the rest are the usual stuff

bottom panel is tint2 stripped of and icewm duplication and like wise in icewm I've removed the tint2 features.

Oooh, nice configuration :)

One or the other, surely?

Anyway, scrot of buster GNOME with gparted & synaptic to prove oswaldkelso wrong:
