Sometimes the easiest option to install Fedora is to start clean and wipe away everything in your storage. Other times you want to install Fedora in an NVMe drive and keep third party apps on the hard disk that came with your laptop.How to choose? The fun one of course!➡️ fedoramagazine.org/installing-#Fedora #Linux #OpenSource #Xfce

I like the #XFCE desktop on #Linux and #FreeBSD as it is full featured, bug free, and lightning fast. I noticed the battery life on my new laptop was ok, but found it odd why the CPU was running at high frequencies at all up to 5GHz. So I set the maximum CPU speed at 500MHz, which is faster than the insane speed of a #DEC #Alphaserver in the early 1990's. And this is still that fast, but with 8 cores. And now the battery is on the second day at 86%. Even when compiling code, 500MHz is insanely fast. The battery charge might last longer than some calculators I had..."500MHz ought to be enough for anyone"

Xfce is getting a brand-new Wayland compositor called xfwl4 gamingonlinux.com/2026/01/xfce#Xfce #Linux #OpenSource

When #Xfce comes with full #Wayland support I will probably give it a try, but I do not think I am switching just yet.

So I tried out #LinuxMint with the default Cinnamon Desktop for the last few days. It was quite nice. I would recommend it for those new to Linux. The desktop is sweet perfection, like #XFCE. But sound did not work on my new laptop. Updating the kernel and found what seems like every possible bug with Linux Mint. Now I have no wireless AND no sound. For some reason, I can't get into the Grub boot menu to revert changes. Gone are the days when I can simply edit a text file for boot order and init.d startup. Searching forums and two days of debugging and reinstalling, trying to work with the #systemd and #initrd layers made me give it up. Seems like modularity between systems got tangled up like cold spaghetti in the fridge overnight.#FreeBSD it is. #UNIX my old friend, you have always been loyal and true. At least I can fix what I break. Downloading now.

#Xfce on #Wayland is included in Leap 16.0 RC, but it’s early stage. Hit issues? Please report on #openSUSE #Bugzilla. Your feedback will directly help polish the #user experience before the #Gold Master release. #Linux #opensource https://news.opensuse.org/2025/08/04/leap-16-rc/

#Leap 16.0 now defaults to #SELinux, #Myrlyn + #Cockpit step in for #YaST, & #zypper has parallel #repo downloads. #Xfce users on #Wayland can enjoy greetd/gtkgreet instead of #LightDM—ideal for modern minimalists. https://news.opensuse.org/2025/08/04/leap-16-rc/

#openSUSE Leap 16.0 has entered Release Candidate! You can now test #Xfce on #Wayland. #Feedback welcome 🙌 https://news.opensuse.org/2025/08/04/leap-16-rc/

One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.

They said Xfce was basic…

So I gave it a glow-up. 🪄✨
