Happy Leap Day!

*Sigh* Alright, I've jumped on the Tango bandwagon. I really like this shade of blue, very soothing. Hopefully I can keep this setup for longer than a few days. I really need to go minimal for a while, themes were driving me a bit batty (I have way too many).

Visual Style: Win Classic

Wall: Royale Blue gradient, by me

Icons: Tango! Featuring the Tango shell patcher by ~vertigosity

Dock: RK Launcher, Modern Clear BG, by me

Foobar 9.5.1: Layout config by me, Tango icons

Note 1: If you want to make a similar gradient wall, start your document out at a high DPI (I used 240), make your gradient and save it as a PNG. You won't get the annoying banding often found on walls of this type.

Note 2: Small start/program menu! (since many people have asked)

1. Right click on the taskbar and choose "Properties."

2. Go to the Start Menu tab, and select "Classic Start menu," then click the "Customize..." button.

3. Play with your settings for whatever menu options you want. But to get it looking so minimal you MUST check the box for "Show Small Icons in start menu" !!

4. Click "OK" and enjoy.

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
