I am curious what it looks like. from the installation of antergos you mean? here are a few: http://landoflinux.com/linux_install_antergos.html they are a bit outdated, cnchi looks a bit more polished now but the order remains the same.

Unobscured Vision Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I gave Antergos KDE a spin, it just wasn't for me. A bit too flaky for my comfort level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the hour that I used Antergos: - I had to ctrl-alt-backpace back to the login screen more than once because X was locking up - KDE in general was quite crashy for no good reason at all -- I changed the theme to Breeze-Dark and the font to my customary FreeSans Bold, and attempted to put some widgets on the Desktop. The widget picker wouldn't stay open, and wouldn't launch again unless I launched it from the Taskbar. The only other change I made was setting the background to a slideshow. That's it. - I didn't add any software at all to the installation. Didn't have a chance to -- I couldn't find the package manager. By that point, after three lockups, I was like 'umm ... naaah.' and rebooted into Mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Mint fits the bill perfectly for the households' needs as well as mine. I can do my College and Dev work on it, Gaming (all I'm really playing is Kerbal Space Program nowadays), I've got WINE installed with FLStudio (which I maintain the WINE-HQ Application Database entry for) and other software I use .. it's all we need around here. I can always install Windows in a VM if I need something else running. simonlang 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
