I don't know what went wrong on this Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE installation, but the Mint theme seems to have broken. I tried replacing ~/.config/xfce4 with working one from a VM and also tried "sudo apt install --reinstall mint-meta-xfce". That sometimes brought the Mint theme temporarily back, but after a reboot, it looks broken again.

#xfce4 has a super-cool and accessible feature that helped me many times and I absolutely adore it. It is bound to Left-Alt+Pointer-Scroll and it zooms the visible output on the screen, so that it is possible to verify whether something is pixel perfect or not without any hassle.

#Xfce es el MEJOR entorno de escritorio del ecosistema #Linux (no es "fangirling" es una expresión efusiva de entusiasmo jajaja).

Esta semana rescataré una netbook del plan Canaima (de 1 solo core y 2 Gb de RAM) con #Debian 12 y mi script para bajos recursos (link en la respuesta). Los usuarios de Linux saben que cada instalación emociona

Hello,

(feel free to reply here or on https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/streamlined-unified-user-experience-with-keyboard-shortcuts.97909/ )

As a long-time Mac user I have strong habits with a bunch of keyboard shortcuts. My new FreeBSD system is quite powerful and the XFCE desktop I’ve setup has started growing on me, even though macOS is my daily driver.

I’m using a Keychron Q11, BÉPO layout (https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/bepo2025.jpg) with some custom key bindings programmed in the keyboard firmware (VIA):
- the "print" key is mapped to a macOS "screen shot region" shortcut (super-shift-4)
- left knob is mapped to macOS combos to zoom out / zoom in / reset zoom
- right knob is mapped to generic (?) combos to Vol up / Vol down / Mute

I’m also relying on a second keyboard layer: pressing left or right "Fn" key activate the second layer that gives me access to a pseudo-numpad and media keys (https://www.patpro.net/cafesale/2layer2025.jpg).

XFCE customisation is still a work in progress but I’ve managed to setup some keyboard shortcuts like using the print key (super-shift-4) to trigger xfce-screenshooter -r. Works great.

Unfortunately I’m unable to create keyboard shortcuts that use the second layer: pressing "Fn" + "F8" should be recognised as Play/Stop, "Fn" + "F9" as Next, etc. but it looks like it’s not detected at all. I’ve used xev without success so far. It’s like the second layer is not here.
So my questions are:
- if I can make those media keys work (with your help), will they work in all apps (fooyin, firefox, VLC…) or will I face a YMMV situation depending on developers’ choices?
- how can I dig deeper to analyse and solve that problem?

Thank you!

I recently switched from Arch to Debian Testing with a minimal Xfce desktop environment, and I couldn't be happier.

#alsa と #pulseaudio に加えて #PipeWire なる存在が登場してるみたい。そしてなんだか不具合を起こしてます、面倒だなぁ... #Linux 6.1.0-30-amd64 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC #Debian 6.1.124-1 (2025-01-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux #xfce4 4.18 #pavucontrol

Also figured out why #spawnOn to start a window on a specific #workspace did not seem to work properly in my #Xmonad tiling window manager setup. Switched from #lxterminal to #xfce4-terminal. The latter has a "disable-server" option to use one process per window. The former or gnome-terminal don't have this option (anymore). However a per window process seems necessary for Xmonad's spawnOn. Now also integrated some more autostarting of stuff into my Xmonad setup.

today has been the first time in roughly a decade that I've installed #GNOME which I did to test how well it works with #Wayland on my setup. And although it's quite a different and very new experience for me as a long time #Xfce4 user, I think it's not as bad as I thought ... it feels less loaded then (dare I say it?!) Plasma, for example. Of course, this is just my humble opinion.

As for Wayland, it just works with my #RX580 which is very good to know.

Oh, and speaking of Xfce4 - I tried that with Wayland as well and it works, but there are still a few things left to be done, e.g. the mouse and keyobard setup didn't work (no setup dialog showed up) and there was no desktop background being shown, despite having selected a default image.

#Xfce 4.20 chegou a #Debian #sid (unstable) hoje. Vamos ver como fica, já! Atualizados os pacotes, basta reiniciar o serviço `lightdm`, no meu caso.

Em breve, a nova versão deverá ser disponibilizada também em #Trixie (atual testing) e provavelmente aproveitável por próximos lançamentos de outras distribuições derivadas como #Xubuntu etc.

MINITUTORIAL - Tibia no Linux: Mint e Debian

Eu fiz um vídeo no formato tradicional ensinando como instalar o jogo Tibia no Linux. Nele, usei o sistema Pop_OS e mostrei que só precisei instalar o pacote libxcb-cursor0. Aqui no sistema Linux Mint, veja que só foi necessário instalar o pacote libxcb-cursor0...

Fuck tumblerd. There is a nonzero number of times I've had to issue `killall tumberld` just to keep my disk activity high enough to do the job in sufficient time, because tumblerd is written for flash media, not spinning disks. Give me my iowait back, you fucking bastards.
