Well said Pids and very true.

Just playing around with my new hardware and a Gentoo LiveDVD...

^ Yeesh, that pstree! Not enough services running! NEED MOAR SERVICES!

And I thought my pstree was bloated ;D Are you doing a stage 3 tarball install? Or are you just going to go with the LiveDVD?

^ I haven't decided what I'm putting on it yet, most likely Slackware, OpenBSD, Funtoo, or CRUX.

That, monstrous.

@bones How does gentoo run on that machine ?

^ Quite snappy, even from disk and with Gnome3 or KDE4. I haven't brought the machine home from work yet, waiting for the monitor to arrive (didn't have an extra one of those) before I decide what to put on there full time and commit to bare metal.

Trisquel 7, with GNOME "Flashback" (aka Fallback).



Now that I have used several cli installers, I really dislike graphical installers.

I'd post the pstree, but it's too big to fit in a full-screen terminal. The default install is 1718 packages. Painful.

This release is almost a year old. I don't know if they are planning a new one any time soon.

^ The font rendering looks great. Don't know why, but that was the first thing I noticed. The second was the huge-ass buttons on Rhythmbox. Damn.

Yeah, the Gtk3 buttons are ugly.

Just went for it. It took me a bunch of extensions to fine-tune it before I was happy. My lappy handles the bloat better than my media server, on which I gave GNOME 3 a ride a while ago before opting for something lighter.
I'm not sure this is going to last.

^ nice term colors.

Ditched Unity on the new lappy.

nice. everything fairly default..?
I found I had to get into the d(g?)conf stettings and the tweak tool quite seriously to get it how I expect things.
quite easy to get used to the 'magic' windows key as well.

^ A couple of extensions and gnome-tweak ready to go

Moved to the latest Ubuntu on the XPS 13. I know it's for work and I should it use just for that, but I couldn't resist.

^ installed it on my middle daughters 2nd hand HP stream (a POS) but it runs quite well, given the machine is underpowered. If she never uses minecraft, I might overwrite it with cloudready.
been liking it on the X1 for ages now, although plain deb 9 and whatever gnome ships with that (no bar/dock by default) although the ubuntu tweaks are a great addition to the standard gnome bits.

I'm back! With some gnome3 scrots, on Ubuntu 18.06 (again Ubuntu, when I will learn to use Debian [or, rather devuan?]).. This is though a "post-mortem" screenshots, I did these as a "memorial", and simply after that I purged my OS :D
Probably fat AF, but I liked it. Now I cannot simply come back to Xfce, or other more "traditional" DE, I used to GNOME 3 way. Maybe I will convert to G3 again soon.
As You can see, of course there are a lot of processes in background, probably a lot of unneeded :P I am to lazy to clean the mess up, it seems I just prefer wipe out whole my config and try something more lightweight xD

Btw, @GekkoP, I like your Gnome 3 scrots! Can You give me a hint, what WM/GTK2/3 theme you were using that days?

That's Zukitre.
