I've been growing surprisingly fond of cinnamon. Moved my laptop over from ubuntu to mint 14 rc. I really like unity, but silly compiz bugs cropping up all over push me over the deep end :/. I'm amazed at how stable and bug free mint 14/cinnamon 1.6 is.

Greybird gtk, faenza icons, plank:

Yeah, I'm testing out Cinnamon atm. It's different, but less heavy than Gnome Shell.

Been using Arch as my go-to linux distro for a while. Been having problems since the Gnome 3.6 updates came along. The last update messed up my icons, however some google searching lead me to a solution. I had to recompile the nautilus source with an edited png, but it ended up working.

Using Cinnamon as the DE, with Gnome 3.6.x everything else (Nautlius, Theming, etc).

I just can't seem to shake this disease of distro-hopping. :grin:

This is my newest install. The first Cinnarch Beta, released 11/22/2012. My first foray into the world of Arch. And I really like what I'm seeing!

Fairly stock install, added the apps I love and changed the window border and wallpaper...

@ UncleSpellbinder, Xubuntu has come along way, I really enjoyed my experience with XFCE 4.10 and once those bugs with thunar and the app menu are resloved I will be trying it out again.

@ Stanca Laurentiu, A+ for originality

beat this....

linux vm within a windows server 2012 vm on windows server 2012 with hyper-v!!!!

That's just mind blowing, testing a virtual client on a virtual server ... I'm very appreciative for the advances in technology we have today along with the affordability and server downtimes!

It was actually very easy for me to pull this off but it required a lot of patience!!!

hyper-v has issues running ubuntu 12.10 tho it runs like a dog.

and i'mma try to have a vm within that.... arrrg it's harder since it runs hard like a dog. seriously.... just loading firefox is slow as hell... ubuntu sucks on this vm....

fedora flat out won't install.. it will only run on a live cd, I install, then it weueueuws about a font missing, then loads the wallpaper then goes "uh oh" something happend and don't boot....

Here's a Linux vm within a linux vm :cat:

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
