@wrx7m said in Deepin 15.9 Installation Screens: @travisdh1 said in Deepin 15.9 Installation Screens: Am I the only one that still missed text mode installers? Probably. I do find it funny, that they all have gui installers when everything is cli, out of the box. Deepin is a desktop only, never meant to be a server or command line, though.

They both did it! Yes, I have a thing about an entire desktop worth of space getting forced down into one little bar, and the menu being at least 2 clicks deeper than it was. Why is the menu deeper? I don't prefer this setup either, but it's no deeper. It's still a button on the desktop for me. Because as the admin/geek, everything I want/need to use is a submenu of the all programs menu. Granted I mostly just favorite a terminal emulator and be done with it, but it is much farther to move around and menus for me to get through. Give me Cinnamon with a hotkey set for the menu any day. As long as the search function works, I usually find what I need by searching for it. ^ this

What desktop environment are you using on ubuntu? Gnome I’ve got 18.04 with KDE. Have you tried ubuntu Budgie 18.04? No. I only have the one 18.04 instance. Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 looks pretty nice. That's a great looking desktop.

Doesn't look bad. What kind of RAM utilization does it have?

@mlnews Now we just need to make sure it is supposed to be MSI or CLick to run

Here is the quick and effective way to do it. WTF? sudo dnf install -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm That doesn't include the repo so it can easily update via dnf does it? Although chrome generally updated by itself so you may not need that functionality.

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

Yep! The latest version is 2.3.3 Yeah, the packages are outdated, I usually update through command line. The underlying system is debain so in the end I can use packages from Debian.

I heard that Solus plans to move from GTK to QT sometime soon. Is that in this release?

Majaro uses ext4 by default and handles software with the Pacman utility.

I will do a build later tonight once I am off work. I will do a build with an AMD FX-8300 CPU. That is 8 Cores. I love those processors. Cheap and good performance.

@tim_g said in Deepin Linux 15.4.1 Install: @scottalanmiller said he has Ubuntu running on his. I think he has the same one as me, Asus ROG Strix laptop. No, I have the RoG GV522 I think.

@stacksofplates That's what i loked about it while reading on it.

Still working well, still none of the issues that were seen before with Korora.

@black3dynamite said in Make a Bootable USB Stick from ISO on Korora 25 Cinnamon: @Tim_G said in Make a Bootable USB Stick from ISO on Korora 25 Cinnamon: Fedora Desktop has an awesome one baked in too. It's my favorite one. Forget the name without looking. Its called Fedora Media Writer and it is awesome. Yes that's it. I use it on Windows too.

I do usually install Pithos also. One other application I use infrequently is Planner. It's a simple PM application that does Gantt charts.

What little text editing I do, I usually do it with vi.

So I just came off of using Plasma 5 for a few months. It's not bad. It's not as in your face about everything as 4 was. However, dual monitor support seemed a little flaky.

No issues like before, sleep works fine. Fingers crossed, but it looks good. It's looking so good, I might switch my desktop! Are you using static or rolling version? Have you tried the cinnamon version? Rolling (based on Tumbleweed), and no, not in this case.

@jackcpickup said in Korora Desktop Rollcall: @scottalanmiller said in Korora Desktop Rollcall: @jackcpickup said in Korora Desktop Rollcall: Really like Fedora with KDE Plasma atm. Trying Deepin on my laptop too Deepin is surprisingly good. Love the look of it and my touchpad feels pretty good on it. Nextcloud client isn't proving very stable atm though, having to configure it again. Followed your guide setting that up (top result on Google!) NC has been totally stable for me on Deepin.

It always tries to search online first for things that I know are on my local system. It irks me too. Like if I'm searching for Putty, it brings up an advert for it, rather than the local application! Others have said that as well. I haven't had that experience. I've had both experiences. Though lately it's worked as desired - local first, then online. that's what's weird, I've had both too... side by side on machines installed the same way! yep - I use Clonezilla to deploy machines - it's weird that they act differently.

Actually, I got it working with bumblebee-project installed. It did not work in Korora 25, but seems to be working in 26. I prefixed the wow-64.exe with optirun and it just worked. Great framerate too. I just need to work out the mouse capture part yet. But that's not a big deal since I don't play that game much anyways. It was just easy to test with because it's on an external drive. Hopefully it's not like that in NMS. My cpu fan is still running full speed from the glxgear test, even though it's way cooled down by now. A reboot may fix that, though. I hope Fedora 26 stays just as it is. "Works" great so far. More so than 25.
