Xfce works nicely with Bspwm window manager. I dont need polybar or other hard to configure status bars. Xfce panels are easier and you can make them looking like a typical polybar if you want 😉. Maybe Mate can do the same, idon’t know.

Kiss linux. Gobolinux. They are both alien, but interesting, each one in its own way.

You’re following the Unix philosophy.

I’m ignorant about display servers. Should applications be ported from a Wayland compositor to another Wayland compositor that has a different “protocol extension” ?

Sorry for the bad link, I will be more careful for the next time.

In the official website, the glibc page was updated with a new glibc layer. You can also check if you have “nouveau” drivers for Nvidia.

Its possible to install glibc on Alpine. https://hatchjs.com/alpine-linux-install-full-glibc/

The Alpine simplicity is attractive, but I failed to install it while keeping my /home partition. Setting this manually is beyond my skills.

It can fits as a desktop wallpaper.

Personnaly I don’t need to manipulate windows with Bspwm. How they spawn is fine for me.

I don’t use i3 because windows spawns in such a layout that force to use shortcuts for changing the layout. Bspwm displays everything in nice rectangles.

To start apps you can keep an application menu in your bar, such as Whisker menu, or the KDE bar, while having a tiling window manager, so you can run apps with mouse clicks. And after the spawn you should not need to manipulate them if you use more automatized tiling WM such as Bspwm or Xmonad.

The Gimp Tool Kit !

I’m annoyed by these Gnome centered distros. If I had to choose a single DE for a distro, I 'd choose a flexible one that can run on potatoes, such as Xfce. I suppose Xfce as default is a part of the MX linux popularity.

In the meantime you can give a look to the Servo project. If Servo is clean for you, you can support them.

Is Librewolf already a Firefox without ad companies colonization ?

Is the web engine an issue about privacy ? Or are these things implemented in front ends instead ? Sorry for my ignorance.

Is it possible to make it working on a today machine ? Even with a virtual machine ? Sorry for my ignorance.

I switched two times. WinXP to Mandriva, because of devastating rootkits. Win8.1 to Mint because of performance decrease.

I like simple default, so it is easier to customize. But If I have to keep the default I would say Garuda.

This is unrealistic. Read everything represents too much work.

If you want stability you can choose Xfce. You’ll don’t need extensions because of easy configurability.

Is Guix a cleaner base for a NixOS alternative ?
