  1. Re: My 20.04 LTS is rock solid. Should I go to 22.04 LTS just for the bells & whistle

    You're going to break something with new packages. If your current configuration works for you, disable LTS updates. There's no need to upgrade unless you need something you don't currently have. ...
  2. Re: Ubuntu vs. Lubuntu vs. Chrome OS Flex

    I have transformed elementary OS into a ChromeOS style system by adding web apps to it through the Google Chrome browser. No need to to worry about Linux support and I can run apps both offline and...

    Re: To deb or Snap or Flatpak?

    It depends. Some flatpak packages are broken or don't run well; install deb. A close to immutable system is the ideal state. Notice I didn't say immutable because in real life compromises will always...

    Re: Ubuntu "Classic"

    The successor of GNOME 2.0 is MATE. Certain things are never going to come back again because the old code is no longer being maintained. You can install an old GNOME desktop as is as long as you're...

    Re: 1st Elementary OS Remaster (By Me!)

    Does your remaster have a right click desktop? And what is your aim in your Luna based distro?
  6. Re: Ubuntu 12.04 Antivirus & Firewall Do i need them!

    On Linux and Mac OSX, the only thing you need to do is set up the firewall.

    There is no need to run AV since viruses and trojans are seldom written for these operating systems.

    Re: Elementary Luna

    eos Luna IS based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. All the repositories are the same; the only difference here is the desktop environment.

    Its fully 100% compatible with mainstream Ubuntu and third party...

    Re: LXLE - Lubuntu Extra Life Extension

    Ronnie, you could remove catfish if you modify your distro to make SpaceFM the default file manager - its light and has a built-in search feature. Or upgrade to PCManFM 1.10 which also has it but...

    Re: Elementary Luna

    A plugin could be written for the Switchboard to make the desktop fully right click but since that is not in the cards, replacing Pantheon Files with Nautilus will work. I can understand having a...
  11. Re: Hawaii Desktop Environment 0.1.92 Released!

    I do wish your project the best.

    But I do think reviewers want to see something that they can compare against current distros.

    Keep us updated on your progress!

    Re: should i do it (install linux mint)

    The Linux Mint developers have rejected where GNOME is going. That's not the direction they and their users want. Cinnamon is already developing as a desktop environment in its own right and as time...
  13. Re: Ubuntu 13.04 to get phased release updates. increasing the quality of the OS

    You can get a rolling release on 12.04 LTS by activating the backports. Updates from Quantal will be ported to work with Precise.

    I'd like to see Ubuntu become a rolling release distro.
  14. Re: Hawaii Desktop Environment 0.1.92 Released!

    Looks like its not even a beta.

    A complete desktop environment is needed for testing.

    Without it, its just desktop vaporware.
  15. Re: Help installing wireless on snowlinxu e17 kernel 3.2 debian

    You'll need to get the Broadcom STA driver to activate wireless. If you can get to an Ethernet connection, download and install the driver and then reboot - the next time you reach the desktop you...

    Re: Elementary Luna

    Uninstall Pantheon Files, install Nautilus. You may need to use Dconf to set up Nautilus to handle the desktop, put icons on it and make it fully right click. Log out and log in again to set the...

    Best implementation of Mac OSX on Linux.

    Downside is the Pantheon Files Manager is still crippled and the desktop is frozen solid. Plan on dumping it for Nautilus Files Manager since that's the...

    Re: LXLE - Lubuntu Extra Life Extension

    The only thing I don't like is currently there is no ability to use different themes and windows controls in each of the four desktop environments. For example, you can't use an XP theme in the...
  20. Re: Best linux distro like ubuntu for our desktop PC?

    If you install LXLE Paradigm, you can login to the GNOME 2 Paradigm environment and set up something reasonably close to MATE. Since its Lubuntu, it won't take up much in the way of resources and on...

    The latest version of Ubuntu supports Poulsbo OOTB. Poulsbo has had spotty support over the years. I have no problem booting up Linux Mint 15 on my Dell Mini 10.

    Re: Mate Desktop

    Are you trying to produce another Ubuntu remaster of MATE? If not, then the Ubuntu Remix you downloaded should serve your needs.
