I never did like Fedora OR GNOME.. How is it working for you?

I had to use ArcMenu and Diash-to-Panel extensions so the workflow remains similar to KDE or Windows. Vanilla GNOME experience isn't my jam, though I kinda like how its backend and other components are "coherent" so to speak. It's devs though are a whole another can of worms.

As for Fedora, I liked how it feels leading edge in the packages area yet still be rock solid at least in my deployments. I used to run Debian sid to have somewhat newer packages, but felt like I'm on my own when some issues arise.

You should try Siduction if you ran on Debian Sid branch.

You ever try Arch?

Deepin. Nice.  

Never really used them, but looking good

Still rocking debian x gnome. Though since the last time I posted here I've switched from trixie to sid and x11 to wayland.

Thank you.

Sure, no problem. This one I improved with AI and also created 16X9 versions of it. The one with the word "Improved" on the name is the one I'm using. I made a few modifications on it so it looks better on 16x9.  The one with "Original" on the name is the original picture. However, I also improved it with AI.

Cheers!

Much appreciated. I do like the improved version you are using best, it a nice adaptation of the background for 16:9 displays.

You sgould look at Siduction 

I never like GNOME, but each to their own

It's a weird one. When I first tried it out last summer as part of Fedora I didn't like it at all. But after using it for the past year or so I've developed a workflow around it to the point where any time I look at another DE for a change I tend to give up on it quick. I've had a couple of (short) attempts with KDE but just can't gel with it. Which is a shame as a lot of the apps I use are Qt-based and so would actually fit better with KDE.

I would like to try something new though. Something where I could build up a more custom system. I'm thinking about sway as it seems to be pretty solid. Not a fan of tiling wms but it can do floating too and maybe with time I could adapt to tiling.

You can do tiling in KDE, too. (Well, sort of)

I always hated KDE because of all its eye candy. But these days, they kind of grew on me.

Yes, I've used Sway before, and is quite nice. Feels like a switch between OpenBox and i3.

btw, I run arch.

That on your laptop? nice. Never used (well, liked) any version of GNOME, but Wayland might be slightly different.

Yes in this case is my laptop (asus strix advantage edition). Once again I can control every single thing here, including lighting.

Lately this laptop has been my playground for several linux installs (it was the first one to move to Endeavour OS, and now onto Arch).

I did this as to have the honorary badge of "I run Arch" but to be honest fells exactly the same as EndeavourOS. Just that now I did everything to get to this point.

Saw your laptop name in your Neofetch 😛 

I've always wanted to run Vanilla Arch, but my problem is, I forgot to install this, that, this, that. And sometimes I forget what program does what.  It's a neverending battle.

To be fair, after finishing installing it I even made a guide myself jaja.

Testing guide...

I just could not resist now that I know. Also to show that it is entirely possible in a RogAlly.

You have any problems with that 3080? Are you using proprietary drivers?
