What does your non-Debian desktop look like?

[vbrummond]

It used to be Mac Os 10.11.4, but I am never using that rubbish again.

Alpine Linux running XFCE:

No systemd:

Code: Select all

empty@alpine ~ % ls -l /sbin/init
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Apr 17 18:18 /sbin/init -> /bin/busybox

That is pretty nice, but what if one wants a different DE, or WM , IE: openbox, and no XFCE ?
Never mind, I looked at the website, openbox is available in the packages.

The distribution is intended for use on servers & firewalls rather than for general desktop use and it is designed to be as slim and lightweight as possible.

As a result, the standard installation is CLI-only and requires some work to get to a usable desktop.

Mine is now working great, it runs very fast with almost no processor overhead and even plays HD videos from YouTube

Alpine Linux running XFCE:

Nice! I messed around with Alpine a little bit, but I was having a hard time keeping it bootable in a VM. It would hang in some manner (don't recall, been too long). Once of these days when I have more time, I'll pursue it again.

Alpine again with bspwm, xfce4-panel, rxvt-unicode, thunar & Firefox (45):

EDIT: the installer failed when it tried to install the GNOME desktop for some reason,,,

Put my own on instead:

LOL, Head_on_a_Stick, how many distros do you play with? Which is your main one, curious?

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Head_on_a_Stick, how many distros do you play with?

Erm, only Debian, Arch, Alpine & OpenBSD

Which is your main one, curious?

At the moment, I seem to be stuck on Alpine Linux but I'm very fickle.

They don't have a Steam client o_O

Yet...

[HuangLao]

hmm, never played with Alpine (well I always like Alpine car radios back in the day)...

Always played with Slackware, Arch, Debian, FreeBSD and derivatives of those. Going to look at Alpine today

[pendrachken]

Mostly running a beefy Winserver 2k12R2 workstation these days, but always have at least one Debian VM up and running at all times since I have the RAM to toss at more than a few VMs if I wanted to.

here since the image is 1080p and breaks the forum layout

Don't you play with Bunsen anymore?

Don't you play with Bunsen anymore?

I've never really used the BunsenLabs desktop itself for any extended period, I dislike the xml configuration and the crude window decorations that openbox uses and I prefer tiling window managers anyway.

I have a BLVM but that's mainly to provide a reference when troubleshooting stuff in the forums

Hey look, I'm using your favourite theme:

@HoaS

What the heck is wrong with the XML-configuration? At least you can get openbox to honor custom keyboard shortcuts, opposed to for example in XFCE4, where some of them are lost after reboot. Openbox always behaves as you say it should, no surprises at all. As far as window-decorations, well..., you have a point

But you are definitely not using my favourite theme, which is "Ambiance-Flat-zFusion-Aqua-Pro", and "Numix Circle" for Icons I love that combo. It will stick with me for a very long time...

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Arch [testing] with bspwm & xfce4-panel (xfce4-datetime-plugin for the clock & volumeicon-alsa in the systray) running rxvt-unicode (256 colour version) & tmux with the lovely neofetch system script:

That's the truth, for Bunsenlabs is absolutely ugly!
