I wonder if Aravisian's theme updates get automatically applied once an apt get update is initiated.

The reason I ask that is I ran the command yesterday, but I saw no changes to my theme. I even did ALT F2 and r today to reload the desktop, saw no change. If I am forced to restart or log out and back in, thats not going to happen for many days from now.

I Googled, is the NVME M.2 slot hot swappable, it said no. So that forced me to shutoff my notebook before I opened it up to install my new SSD drive. Why does that matter some of you may ask?

It matters, cause if I have to start the computer up all over again, my MSI keyboard will usually not work after login to the OS. And it will require a restart, or two, or 3, or 4, by the time the keyboard finally begins working after logging into the OS.

So thats why you saw, I was running my computer for 22-days straight on that NeoFetch, where I had up to 11GB of RAM usage out of 32GB of RAM, running on Gnome lol. Yes, the issue I just spoke of is a known issue, where their seems to be no resolution that I could find.

I think its just cause its a Corsair K95 keyboard, and MSI don't like them. Its like, you want me to connect, well I don't feel like it so no. After 2 3 4 restarts, are you ready now? Yes, I am ready now, after I have injested all the delicious clean 120v power from your wall for several minutes, now I will.

Ohhhhhh, thank you MSI for being so accommodating, I really appreciate it. :rofl:

Nope I'm not using Flatpak. Have this one installed com.github.johnfactotum.foliate_2.6.3_all.deb

Like StarTreker mentioned. I refreshed with dist-upgrade but still no change fore the weatherapp icon.

#17

Yes, the icons and themes get updated.

#18

Alright, showing you a new screenshot since I ran the apt get update command yesterday.

I just remembered to say, yes, POP OS does use FLATPAK heavily in its OS. Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. But since Aravisian was asking another user about FLATPAK, thought I'd mention it in my case.

The 32Gb memory your using is a lot. Perhaps when gaming or doing some heavy multitasking could be the way to make use of such an amount. But for the normal OS usage 8GB or 16GB is sufficient I would say.

Btw I did the update and upgrade, but still no change of icons.

#20

Because I have not uploaded them, yet.:expressionless: Impatient...

Just installed Okular - Was using it when I had the full kde desktop installed - but the plomb icon is missing.

Have a few more installed which sometimes use;

  • Isomaster
  • Nomacs
  • Yacreader and Yacreader Library

@StarTreker , I will upload a new Predator shortly. You can check in about an hour and see if it appears in your terminal or software Updater.

Otherwise, if you are not checking for them manually with sudo apt update && apt list -u, theme and icon theme Updates will appear in your Updater Notifications that pop up.

That is exactly why I bought a notebook with 32GB. I do production and gaming, so I need the RAM. I actually feel for those who run many VM's and need 64GB or more, cause they are the folks that are really paying for RAM. You can easily spend between 500 to 1000 dollars on RAM alone if your a hardcore user.

I agree with you however, for the average user of Linux, I think that 8GB of RAM is enough for most use cases. I got 8GB of RAM in my Star Labs notebook with Zorin on it, and it runs perfectly fine, a bit slow cause its an old dual core, but it runs!

16GB of RAM I would recommend for non-hardcore gamers, and folks that do light production in the 1080P variety, but not 4K!

Right, I forgot your message about production, guess you made the right decision there.
I belong to the 16GB users. Play a game once in a while and do some multitasking. But mostly I didn't like the sound of the fans spinning or the pc getting to hot, that's why I choose 16GB instead of 8GB

This application provides its own icons in /usr/share/isomaster/icons

It then calls on these icons only and does not look to the system icons.

They can still be replaced within that folder, but this is tedious as you would need to go into that folder each time and replace the icons everytime you want to change icon set.

I made the icons before I realized this...-sigh-

@Aravisian I am a big fan of your Prawler icons. Because there is so many icons, I am never going to be able to view them all at once. So I see them whenever I load up an APP I haven't yet.

I love the Chrome and Firefox icons, they look great. I love the terminal icon, very logical. The Gimp icon is spot on awesome. And the Psensor logo is wicked cool looking.

Again, I am sure they are all awesome, but there is probably what 1000 icons, never gonna see them all. But you have done amazing work with the Prawler icon set, pure and simple.

I wish I could max out my ram to 16gb. For now, I do 8gb cause this will be my first hardware upgrade. :joy:

Just stumbled across this- interesting points of view:

Uhhh......Deviantart!

Yeah, I now what you mean. All the effort and time.

Have this with Libreelec (kodi), have been using a certain skin that I like (blackglass nova). Themed it all to my liking and now with kodi on version 19, I discovered that the creator of that skin won't be supported it anymore. So no new release for the blackglass skin in kodi 19.0.
