Just the gnome-terminal. I can't give up the tabs :no:

I used to use Eterm, then my all time fav was/is aterm...but I love tabs.

I used to find tabs useless, but now I am really finding them useful in flux! I tab my gaim status to my main gaim window, my xterms always get tabbed together now, and my gimp windows are frequently tabbed. (Y)

The feature rocks when you use it for a little while! :yes:

Post a SS of your typical working environment Mark.  I'd like to see your setup.

Not quite typical, but only in the fact that I am demonstrating tabs in flux. I normally tab my shells together, as show, and I have tabbed by gaim status to the main gaim window. Not typical for me is the browsers. I have firefox open (lots of FF tabs, but I do that all the time). I also have Konqueror and Ephipany on tabs in the same window (Google is in Konqueror, and slashdot in Ephipany).

The tabs in Flux are unobtrusive. They just divide the title bar into sections. Click on the various sections to change the window contents. They can also be middle-drug around to change their order. (Y)

The normal config for me:

Fedora

Fluxbox

FluxAqua theme for my window decorations

and a Wallpaper I made from an image on a site I cannot link to here. (nor can I post the wall here)

I really never change much on my system, as I am happy with it. (though tabs are my only 'new' addition from previous screenies I have posted on rare occasion)

Woah! That is one wicked display of Fluxbox's capability! Okay, I'd show you my new Puppy Linux desktop, but it's just Rox, and IceWM with a Bluecurve theme. Pretty bleh, but I don't go into my loopback install as much so it doesn't matter. Now if I had fluxbox....that would be awesome!

Gentoo on MacOSX ? How does that work? I thought they were both operating systems.. >.<

What are you using to get that active transparancy on your console?  :whistle:  :o

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
