XLibre support discontinued on Artix […] What I forgot to mention is that metux created huge numbers of commits using AI without checking them, but I never published that until here. When these 3 persons learned about my Xorg advices in our forum they kicked me out of the xlibre team and startd to make my - personal - life hell. Source: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,10283.msg61637.html#msg61637 It could be that I’m late, but if there are any other Artix users out there who wonder why a pacman -Syu asks whether you want to replace xlibre, here’s the reason.

RIP XLIBRE Push for Sonic + AI codeslop + "latest' ruined it https://artixlinux.org/news.php#XLibre_support_discont #Linux #AI-slop #LLM #Xlibre #no-systemd #latest #opensource #artix #Vendefoul #Devuan

I installed LXQt desktop on my laptop, as I have been using it on a desktop for a while. Artix by default using the Openbox window manager with LXQt instead of the xfwm4 that Devuan bundles with LXQt. So some of the shortcut key configuration is slightly different. Eventually, I'll get around to pairing BSPWM with LXQt, as I think that'd be fun. For right now, I'm running cortile which maximizes the windows automatically with the default I have. For right now, I can say that LXQt is much lighter on resources than Cinnamon on the same machine. Cinnamon on Artix seemed to be much more of a resource hog than Cinnamon on Debian and Devuan based Linux systems. But with LXQt, it just sips instead of gulps. #Linux #Artix #LXQt

Here's the MATE desktop on top of Artix Linux. It is installed on a ThinkCentre Tiny M700. This is the computer for this week's RetroEdge.Tech Computer Giveaway. One thing that I do not like about MATE (and therefore the old Gnome2) is that there is very little keyboard control of the desktop environment. The 'super' key does not launch the Start Menu. Ctrl+Alt+t does not launch a terminal, et cetera. Perhaps adding rofi on top of MATE would be a good blend of old and better keyboard control. https://substack.com/home/post/p-196717939 #Linux #artix #Lenovo #MATE

I think I am most content with a tiling window manager and no bar. This is i3 on Artix Linux running on another liberated Chromebox. #Linux #Artix #xLibre #i3wm #wezterm #ChromeBox

Experimenting with more Artix Linux "spins" (that the right word?) This is a USB live boot of Moksha desktop environment. Moksha is interesting to me as it is a continuation of the Enlightenment Desktop, written in C and with BSD style software license. Very #RetroEdge. As configured, and with the choices of included software, it definitely would not be a daily driver for me, but I can see tweaking it a bit would make it more appealing. #Linux #Artix #xLibre #Moksha
