Wow. Love seeing this post is still alive!
Back after all my exams, and fully ready to serve my newer Linux Enthusiasts/Triers
Currently using Fedora 40 Pre-Release. Its bricking up itself sometimes at higher loads, but other than that, it is just Beautiful. Here's my next contribution to this post :slight_smile:



As you can see, its the standard Fedora Wallpaper, but broo the morning one looks insane! Plus, the GNOME 46 style Heads-Up Notification looks even better :wink:

As I thought the Reptile Picture is nice You come with this Machine Moster, haha! Very cool Picture. The Icons fits good to that. You should try to create a Theme to this and then pack the Picture, Theme and Icons together.

I can't pack the picture as I don't have the right to do so. :slight_smile:

No, no. Only for Demonstration I mean. Is it a free Picture or You have to pay for?

That one is free, but not the dragon/drake cyborg one. I paid for the rights for that one.

PCLinuxOS 24.04 KDE 5.27.11 on X11 - no systemd, no elogind! My GT440 card arrived today, still had an issue installing and discovered that it did not like using the hotbay! (The hotbay power is via PATA not SATA!).

love this :100:

5.27 is mostly used on another distributions example freebsd family and some not heavy distributions.
Why people sayed 5.27 was the best Desktop?
Why another version people not so happy?

Because a lot of Menus and Plasma styles were written for 5.xx - now things like Tiled Menu won't work on 6 - Plasma just says to contact the creator to upgrade to 6.0. Bleah!

I have to admit, I'm a bit curious about this distro that you've been talking about lately. I particularly like the tag, "The Boomer Distribution" :joy: Although I might go for the XFCE desktop instead of KDE.

They also do it in MATE! It has taken me to a new learning curve in the KDE version. No Discover, No Apper, just Synaptic and Konsole. No sudo, just su, password for root, then:

apt-get install [name of package] if it exists.

Currently tried to install LIOS (Linux Intelligent OCR Solution) but think I have foobard it as I installed as root and permissions are root - had to install packages from gitlab but had to sign up for an account before I could access it! Also installed OCRFeeder but nothing happens after clicking on the icon. Pulse audio is present by default, alongside ALSA, but had to use Konsole to install alsa-tools (All the QAS packages, including mixer). Still sounds coming out the wrong speakers! But just glad I am rid of systemd and elogind!

Here is a modified PCLinuxOS made to look like Zorin!:

61 Wallpapers for different distros:

I also might put GhostBSD back on a second drive, this from The Register in November, 2023:

"However, as vast sprawling modern subsystems such as systemd, snap, Wayland, and Flatpak take over more and more of Linux, FreeBSD offers a refuge where you will find traditional Unix sanity. And for now, GhostBSD is by far the easiest way to put it on a PC alongside some other operating systems. ®"
