Well, as simple as I could get it, yet with easy access to GAIM and amaroK. I've been using Ubuntu Breezy, between Gnome and XFCE back and forth for the past 48 hours nonstop, and unlike previous times trying out linux, i think I may actually use it full time (except forgaming).

Only thing I wouldn't mind is a Linux equivalent of RK Launcher or a dock program. I found the starter bar for gdesklets, but it confused the heck out me me. Any ideas?

Glad to see you're back :punk:

Funny you should mention your distro transition - I recently went from arch (which was installed following your first recommendation of it) to deb-etch on one of my older boxes :D

Very slick (Y)

I gave Fluxbox a try the other day and it didn't really do anything for me. However I may try Openbox later. I just need to get used to Rox first.

I have, in the last few days, switched over almost completely to Linux. I have used it on servers for years, but could never get myself to use it as a workstation. I think that has changed; the only thing I've booted back into Windows for so far was to play NFS: Most Wanted :D Although I still have a secondary Windows box just for maintaining my iPod, playing music with iTunes, playing my Audible audio books, and syncing my Blackberry.

Here's my main workstation:

Ubuntu 5.10

Controls: Clearlooks-Clarity

Window Border: Blended (Small Double Round)

Icons: nuoveXT-1.5

Wallpaper: Summer by KoL

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
