Re: Obsessed with Speed and looking for opinions
If OP has a reliable mains electricity supply, then a really cheap and basic way of increasing the *apparent* start up speed of the desktop would be to set up suspend to RAM with an appropriate time out. Just leave it switched on all the time. Wiggle the mouse when you want to do some work/games &am...

Re: What does your desktop look like?
Well, I saw the Steampunk theme choice for Cinnamon, so I installed it. And I figured that if you're going to have steam, you're going to need a good clock. Just fire up a terminal and enter 'crontab -e' and enter a similar clock sound theme. Thanks for the reminder about crontab. Playing with vari...

Re: I would like Debian to stop shipping XScreenSaver
Quite funny really: jwz is of course famous for his key role in the Netscape -> Mozilla open source transition. He seems to find the *concept* of a stable distribution not changing over a timescale of 2 or 3 years other than for severe security concerns surprisingly difficult to grasp. With regard t...

Re: RAM comparison thread
Hello All Fun thread. I suspect that the way the kernel allocates RAM will depend on the amount of RAM in the machine, so can we all please state that or simply copy the output of free -m? Below a series of measurements on my minimal Jessie 32 bit install on a Thinkpad X200 with 2Gb of RAM and a 64G...

Re: Dev1 subforum...
Good points, but with a release as potentially important as Devuan, to hide its development in a mailing list seems a bit counterintuitive, albeit it is a bit traditional for developers to do so. Linus and Lennaert do not use forums. Debian-devel is where the Debian developers/packagers hang out an...

OK, I'll get flamed for this, but I give you ChromiumOS from Google as an example of a systemd free GNU/Linux distro :twisted: I'm playing with the free version from neverware.com. They are trying to base a business on re-purposing older laptops in schools and colleges. They have added a range of ha...

Hello All Zenwalk Linux 8 beta2 64bit only is basically a very opinionated version of Slackware Linux -current that boots into runlevel 4 and that is based around the xfce4 DE.
