A somewhat different screenshot to my last..

fluxbox using the FluxAqua theme (thanks for the link, mark)

Wallpaper is something from Deviant Art --> Wallpapers --> Abstract (a section worth checking, and PM me if you want the actual file)

Using Eterm -x --buttonbar=0 --scrollbar=0 -0 to get a completely transparent, borderless console.

^^^ I see London.

I see France.

I see someone's...

I.P. Address. :o

I dunno if you are sensitive to this info, but if you are, you might want to edit your screenshot. ;)

^^ You are using gedit for editing your config files?  I switched to nedit a few months ago, it is much lighter and quicker.

Thanks for the recommendation. I downloaded nedit.. not sure if I'll get on with it. The interface is a bit too windows 3.1 like for me... (not sure if it's a good comparison, lol - but it looks old... :p) Is it themeable? I'm open to other suggestions too..

I also don't find gedit to be particularly bloated.. maybe because if I'm editing a config file I won't be doing much more than playing music.

and mark, as you use Flux Aqua, which gtk theme do you use to go along with it, or are you not too bothered about getting them to match?

From what was gathered earlier when this was discussed, it seems that it uses OpenMotif. I looked into it, and it seemed that theming it was a lot of work...

Most of the matching between KDE and Gnome types of apps has already been done in Fedora, from what I can tell. I didn't to anything special, and they are similar on my box. I was happy with the defaults provided.
Marshalus

what gtk theme?

Edit:

seethru were can I find that linuxinfo program?

I got it through apt-get, I don't know about arch linux or where you'd get it.

Very excited about Breezy, enough so that I grabbed a daily iso and installed it yesterday. Had an issue w/ DHCP but it actually ended up being my router dying on me. So far so good, things are smooth, and theres lots of subtle changes that I'm enjoying in 5.10.

^^

Must say that is one of the nicest KDE desktops I've seen in a long time. Is the system tray Superkaramba?

Everything on the desktop (excluding the icons and amaroK of course) is a Karamba/SuperKaramba module. The dock/taskbar, systray, sysinfo panel, clock, calendar, weather, all karamba/superkaramba.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
