I try to like KDE but it seems bloated to me...I mean it looks nice, but there are way too many things to mess with or mess up for me... I prefer something more basic.

I see what you mean. I use KDE, and yeah, it can be a bit heavy.

Currently looking at WayFire.

This looks really nice! What gnome extensions are you using to get the top panel looking like that?

I am using Blur my Shell for the transparency, and Logo Menu for the menu on the left hand side.  Just using the System Monitor extension for the system info.  For the roundedness, I used the Orchis Shell Theme from gnome-look.org

Switched to CachyOS...  I finally found the distro I love! It's so fast, very optimized and it works amazingly with Nvidia drivers.  Gnome Desktop of course.

 

That looks very nice. I'm going to have to check it out.

Want something even faster? Try Clear OS. 😛

To think that almost two years ago I was running windows 10 in all my machines, thinking "well, updates updates and that is that if it is really the last version of windows".

Then artificial requirements happened...

Then I switched to Debian just by mere curiosity to see if really steam ran there. Boy, I was in for a ride...

In for a ride, how, exactly?

Linux has been a long reign.

In this context I mean it as a compliment. Because I began to understand several things related to Linux and how directly each one controls the PC. 

It was akin to me when long ago I reformatted my first win98 PC. It was a compaq 5253. Now, the problem was not formatting it and installing win98, it was rather to find the drivers for each one of the components inside of it.

But when i found them and I understood how the OS worked it feel good. Interestingly enough with linux I do not have to worry much about drivers nowadays.

      No updated SSD capacity, no updated specs (not surprised tbf), just nostalgia baiting! Bring back the boot sequence and the UI as an easter egg!

      Why? It will just cost so much more and make you PC poor and they become PC rich off your calamities! “Just because you can” isn’t a flex either!.

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
