Hey /g/, is Lumina any good?
Has anyone here ever tried it?

It's still in a very early phase of development, but I think it's towards the right direction.
In the BSD world it will probably replace the Gnome since it is becoming increasingly entangled with SystemD.

If I had to pinpoint the single major reason why I don't use Linux anymore, it'd be systemd.
I don't know why the Linux folks have such an urge to fix what isn't broken.
All my servers run FreeBSD now, except for a few routers that run OpenBSD.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

LXQt is almost the same thing but it feels better. I wouldn't bother unless you're on FreeBSD
>>53678524
They probably just copied the LXQt codebase. Typical BSD "skills".

Because that's totally against fair free software practice

The point is that they just copy-paste shit and call it "new" "innovative" "never before seen" "bsd wins again!" when it's, again, simple copy-paste. Sometimes they add insignificant changes so they can claim it's not, but it is.

Except they do not? "BSD wins again" is about stuff that isn't available on Linux or only in buggy form, like ZFS or jails.

No, he didn't mean GNU/Linux. I usually interject like an autist, but this is one case where the interjetction is wrong.
He meant Linux as a kernel, not as 'an OS'.
