@Reva WindowLab is something I wanted to try back when I originally found it. I never actually did, but if it still works, I maybe still could....

@NightAuthor @Frederic so many old posts have been resurfacing lately....

@mimichuu Yea I have a few off the top of my head....

1. Try to update as regularly as possible.
2. Use "netselect-apt" to get the best mirrors for APT.
3. APT supports parallel downloads, so enable them straight after installation.
4. APT caches downloaded packages by default, which can consume disk space over time. Make sure to clean it every once in a while with "sudo apt-get clean".

@dontcarebear @ylai Debian is hard to beat.. Screw corporate Linux.. Stick with tried and true distros like Debian & everything will be sweet....

@mimichuu @exu Debian is a rock solid choice, & one you'll never regret making....

@jackpot For me personally, I've found that XFCE on Arch runs faster & uses less resources compared to XFCE running on mint, Debian, or Ubuntu. Debian will always be my No.1 fav Linux distro, but for now I'm on Arch, even if I'm not really using the aur for anything other than nvidia drivers. Arch probably won't be permanent, but for now I'm loving it, & switching back to Debian will eventually happen. Just not yet....

@Molecular0079 @AgreeableLandscape The algorithm for Lemmy is totally botched in some ways....

@Llewellyn @ilovecarrotjuice Chrome is in now way fine....

@TerryTPlatypus I've been an #xfce user my whole Linux journey, and ompared to xfce it's missing some features that I regularly use on xfce. It also uses way more resources & requires some extensions to better it for daily use....

@antihero I use ffmpeg to extract frames from images. Yt-dlp to download youtube videos. Rmlint, to remove duplicates. Gallery-dl to sometimes download from sites like instagram or twitter & finally mpd / ncmpcpp to listen to music....

@XPost3000 @Lemmchen personally I think that XFCE, mate & pantheon are equally just as good as KDE....

@Lemmchen @shapis Neno is file manager for cinnamon. Nautilus for gnome....

@Lemmchen @pluja Debian 12 is a great choice no matter what desktop environment or window manager you install....

@RandomLegend Yea I read it all wrong haha....

@cyclohexane @Lolors17 Gentoo can be fast if you configure it correctly. I've seen it done in the past....

@fraenki @rcmaehl If you are a KDE user, these two are likely the closest option available to meet your needs....

@szederz @GustavoM The aur is pretty awesome & handy ^\_

@fugepe XFCE is the best in my opinion. It's lightweight, full customizable & easy to set up....

@senslayer As a longtime XFCE user, I've mainly used xflock4. I've tried others over time, but xflock4 is the one that I've used the most....

@Raphael I personally recommend Debian. Never had any shit from Debian, and with the recent release of Debian 12, it's now better than ever. Now's actually the perfect time to switch to Debian....
