kek
>>52083376
Looks like shit desu niggertalk famalam
Fucking finally.
I waited for official release to compile budgie-desktop
because pic related
because I can just install ubuntugnome or debiangnome and get on with my life.
>>52083376
Where is the logo?
No logo - no download.
>>52084329
>>52084376
Why is the first "S" has slightly rounded ages, and the second one has sharp ones?
into le trash.ogg
>>52084412
because its made by britbongs and bongs are fucking retards
It's the kind of thing I might throw on my laptop to check it out.
>>52083428
Budgie is in the AUR if you use Arch.
>>52084439
It is pretty lightweighted distro, it should be fine.
>>52084822
What do I need to do to my xinitrc to start it up? I just installed from aur.
>>52084431
Kys, Johnny Foreigner.
Anyone else having issues with the 'set a password' part in the account setup after installing? No matter what password I enter it wont let me continue.
>>52085201
Is your password long enough?
>that notifications sidebar
this is what I've wanted in linux since forever
where do I get this
>>52083376
>two power buttons
>>52085105
I dunno, try looking here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/budgie-desktop-git/?comments=all
>>52084431
Go shoot up a school, idiot.
I like these kinds of threads desu It's like asking
>why aren’t you being a dumb ass faggot /g/
hope we are on the same page here OP and other fellow anons
>>52083417
I bet you use a tiling WM
Is it bloated and system heavy as Mint?
>Solus is a Linux-based operating system built from scratch for the modern desktop and targeting the x86_64 architecture.
So, every distro ever, pass.
>>52085587
No, if anything it is very lightweighted compare to Mint.
>>52083376
Because I am already a faggot
is this based on anything? it says on their page that it's 'from scratch' and that they've 'made their own DE' but if i had a sterling for every time someone said that and it turned out they'd cludged something together with openbox and some shitty panel or whatever then i'd be rich
>>52085659
its DE is based on gnome but they managed to create the core with scratch.
>>52085505
go suck mehmet's dick bongistani
>>52083376
>Built from scratch
>Support can't compare to something like Debian, Arch or Gentoo
>Uses Chrome
>Doesn't respect my freedoms
No thanks senpai
>>52085702
>>Support can't compare to something like Debian, Arch or Gentoo
You can install it from AUR already
>>Uses Chrome
Actually it is installed firefox default, nice try anon
>>Doesn't respect my freedoms
You don't need to install non-free software or drivers, can use everything open source.
>>52085659
It's entirely unique. I was using it until about a month ago and dropped it because I got sick of the tiny issues it had after updates. But,the devs over there really move to fix things quickly and are really cooperative given the responsibility they have.Definitely planning on trying it out again in a few months when things are more settled in.
>>52085748
Why do these people insist on using the Gnome bloat? It has been proven that Gnome does not play nice with laptops and sucks the battery life like a dirty whore.
Any other base could have been tolerable.
>>52085748
>You can install it from the AUR already
No, you can install their "DE" from the AUR.
>Actually it is installed firefox default
From all of the screen shots I have seen they seem to only have Chrome installed.
>You don't need to install non-free software or drivers
Because Chrome is totally free
>>52083376
>not rolling release
>not based on any other distro so support is minimal
>obscure package manager no one's ever heard of just for the sake of being different
>can just install budgie if I wanted to pretend to use their OS without compromising the features offered by more mature, better supported distros
I'll stick to openSUSE Tumbleweed with i3, thanks.
>>52085748
DE =/= OS
If it can't be completely loaded into 1GB of RAM it's SHIT
>>52085864
Solus totally have chrome
>>52085829
>Gnome does not play nice with laptops and sucks the battery life like a dirty whore.
I get virtually the same battery life from Gnome as I do i3 WM or any other DE or WM I've ever tried. That list includes KDE, Openbox, Unity, Mate, XFCE.
>>52085883
Damn, son. That's a really clean i3 setup.
Could you post your config files somewhere please?
This distro makes me laugh hard as they made it to show off their gnome extension plugin. Bigest cancer of lunix: "hey ive got this nice idea to improve existing project, let's make it separate project"

Horey shet thank you so much

Thanks, anon.

No worries. been meaning to host my dotfiles on github but haven't gotten around to it.

downloads youtube videos then strips out the audio into nice decent quality mp3 v0. Depends on ffmpeg and youtube-dl
>>52086214
>gaps
jesus
>>52086388
Yeah I'm not sure if I like them or not... I'm giving them a week before I make my final judgement.
>>52083406
I chuckled
>>52086430
To be honest I like gaps
>>52086540
Really, I hardly even see them. My config leaves most applications alone on their workspace and with smartgaps turned on, things like chrome just fill the entire space
works fine
>GTK
>Gnome
Piss off!
yay, another distro to ignore.
or you could just
>>52087340
But I don't crave penis...
>>52085883
>openSUSE Tumbleweed
Ho did you get steam woking on tumbleweed? What videocard do you have?
>>52086652

Every time the kernel updates you'll have to do the following steps again:

>log in
>sudo su
>killall lightdm
>sh /path/to/nvidia/drivers.run
>mkinitrd

Stopped reading there.

you might want -blur 18,10 for your imagemagick line so it doesn't look like pixelated junk.
