Any good Debian-based OS for a laptop?

    Look into MxLinux. It is Debian based with lots of noce tools. And as DE you could use KDE.

    Xfce lover here. I tried Cinnamon for a bit and it is impressive, but I then moved to KDE on wayland. It's better than I thought. I decided to leave it almost not customized, just the panel on top and a couple of widgets. The thing with KDE, for me, is that you can't not love the developers for all the things they try to do and all the improvements they always bring. It's an impressive work. So, xfce on xorg and kde on wayland is my way to go. I'm not a fan of Gnome. It looks good at first, but after a bit I realize that simply it's not for me, not even the way it looks.

    Opinions on KDE Plasma 6
  • paolab paolab 6mo ago 100%

    Hi! I currently am on LMDE with Cinnamon (after trying a lot of distros and DE). I use laptops and so I am curious about trying wayland, which can offer a better experience with gestures, as far as I understand. Gnome is cool, but it is not flexible and I don't want to install extensions over extensions. So I am thinking about KDE 6, again. I like it but at a certain point it drives me crazy. There is always something that doesn't work well. Maybe it's because I change too many things. I don't know. Anyway, is it true that KDE 6 is not really stable yet or its stability level is simply the usual one?

    Rectangle for Linux?
  • paolab paolab 7mo ago 100%

    In Cinnamon you can assign the shortcut for this. It is just not defined. You can go to Settings->Keyboard->Windows and you should look for something like Positioning (I am trying to translate in English what I see). You assigned the shortcut you want and that's it

    I dream that this will happen in other european countries as well. I am not that optimistic to dream that it will happen in Italy too

    I am using Joplin with syncthing. I don't need online services for syncthing. My smartphone is the center of this synchronization of notes with three different pc in three different places (I do it with keepssxc database too). I just have to be a bit careful and so I check that the synchronization has been done before writing notes an another device. It's a nice solution for me. The devices are an android smartphone, two linux laptops and a Windows pc. It works.

    What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?
  • paolab paolab 10mo ago 100%

    I have tried a bunch of them: Manjaro, Fedora, Opensuse Tumbleweed, Mx Linux, EndeavourOS, Arcolinux, Debian, currently LMDE. But Fedora, the spin with XFCE not the default one, never convinced me enough to keep it., is the one that never convinced me enough to keep it.
