sysVinit is only the default, it comes with systemd as well.

The tools are useful no matter the init system, and make life easier, especially for beginners.

In essence MX is just Debian with tools to make desktop use easier.

The point is that LXQT and LXDE use half as much ram as Xfce. I'm not saying OP should use KDE.

[-] Shareni@programming.dev 10 points 4 days ago

It's about 300mb lighter than KDE in my experiences. On 2gb of RAM, that makes a difference.

And both LXDE and LXQT use half as much RAM as Xfce.

LXDE is gonna be fine too; but it lacks a lot of the polish that XFCE has. I honestly like both for different things.

I'd rather be able to open more than 5 tabs than have a fancy UI. That's why Xfce is on my newer devices, and I install those 2 whenever someone needs an ancient laptop revived.

Just install a few of them, see what works, how much resources they use up, and what allows you to open more than one browser tab. Hell do it in a VM, Arco-B has a wide range of DE's to choose from in the installer.

From my experience it's barely lighter than KDE. LXQT/LXDE destroy it in every benchmark and in every test I've tried.

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It is reached when the sum of the drag force (Fd) and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity (FG) acting on the object. Since the net force on the object is zero, the object has zero acceleration

Objects in a vacuum have no drag and no terminal velocity...

How would it reach terminal velocity in a vacuum?

So why should we use this instead of just saying lixmaballs and using nix/aux/nux/whatever other fork?

Dude still hasn't decided where to host the repo. It's not an alternative, guix is...

Wait a bit Ubuntu is next. They already added terminal ads, embedded affiliate links for amazon, and sold user data to amazon.

MX Linux, Xfce 4.18

Closing the laptop lid suspends the system, opening it resumes it, but the screen is black. I'm guessing it's related to powerup because suspending through the logout menu and systemctl suspend both work as expected. When it's black, switching to a different tty works, as well as C-M-Backspace to logout.

Same results with both lightdm and sddm, when replacing suspend with hibernate, and I've tried a few solutions like disabling lock on sleep.

Seems like this issue has been around for years, but had a whole bunch of different causes since every other thread has a different solution.

XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon > /tmp/xf.log 2>&1

ps -ef | grep -E 'screen|lock'

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -lv

dmesg, cleared it before trying to suspend

updates:

I'm not seeing a black screen, instead it turns on the display and then turns it off.

Additionally, I tried closing and opening the lid a few times, and it woke up correctly.

I tried it in i3wm with the xfce power manager to suspend after closing the lid. It woke up correctly 10 times in a row.

Solution: start an xrandr config and the monitor turns back on.

This community is:

A general purpose programming community for English speakers

Language specific posts like:

and ide specific posts like:

are not general purpose. Posts like that ruined /r/programming for me, and this community seems to be going down the same road. I'm here to read about programming concepts that can be applied to any/most languages, not patch notes for 10 different Js frameworks posted by karma farming bots. If I wanted to read posts like that, I'd have subbed to /c/javascript...

Do you agree with me that they should be removed from /c/programming, and limited only to their respective communities? Or have I missed the point of this community?
