• distro hopping

  Pick up your Desktop Environment based on your computer's specs, NOT on your visual preferences. (HINT: XFCE consumes way less system resources than GNOME and KDE). Source: 3 months ago

• Lightweight dev tools.

  It’s a bit of an interesting challenge and has forced me to re-examine some of my tool usage. I started by a minimal install of Debian “bookworm” with the XFCE Desktop Environment which chews through much fewer resources than the default GNOME 43 based environment (although more than LXDE - but there still has to be room for aesthetics). - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

• I Still Use Windows 95 (archived, 2008)

  Luckily you can get an efficient, clean Desktop Environment that works well and is actively developed: Xfce ( https://xfce.org/ ) I think you will like it. It has a very early-2000's feel IMO. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• best lightweight linux distro for old laptop and gaming

  Well, it depends. It was better experience than FreeBSD 7.2 that's for sure. :) It was running Xorg with https://i3wm.org, a web-server, XMPP-server, PostgreSQL, few bots and dovecot / postfix (e-mail server). It was doing fine routing internet for 2PCs and a WiFi router for 10 years until its HDD died. For gaming... erm... I was able to play something like Theme Hospital or Syndicate Wars in dosbox.

• OpenBSD KDE Plasma Desktop

  Well of course they're not trying to replace macOS, for instance, but when an OS gets big enough to have offshoots and different front-ends and desktop environments and so forth, one would assume there are at least experimental attempts emphasizing ease of use, just like there are experiments to develop offshoots for any other purpose, from power users to pen testers. At least like, someone's toy project on GitHub... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Making cross-platform software using Linux that also runs on BSD

  Oh, you might also look at the Lumina desktop which strives for minimal dependencies and portability across Linux+BSDs. Source: 9 months ago

• [7b7b] a fork of the lumina desktop

  DBus was used only in this part of the code, also I wanted to follow what lumina is claiming about not using linux frameworks. Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: Lumina Desk – digital desk for health and productivity

  Names are hard, but not to be confused with Lumina Desktop? https://lumina-desktop.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• The Reality

  There are at least two more independent Qt-based DEs: Lumina and Deepin. Also, MATE and Cinnamon are forks of GNOME. Source: over 1 year ago
