Pete Orrall<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@stefano</a> This is great news and certainly an improvement to both open source and FreeBSD.While *I* would have preferred <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> over <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#kde</a> in the installer (because I am an XFCE user) that's not the point. The point being the FreeBSD team, based on user survey results, is *listening.*To the people who leave comments like "it's too late" or "we already have Linux" then the point has been missed. What's great about <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> is the plethora of choices. With <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> 15 offering <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a>, it means the quality of choices just improved.

Eugenia LOne 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.

Eugenia LMy XFce Win11-like theme under Linux <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mint</a>. The theme has a couple of bugs, but overall it works well.I found that XFce is the most themeable of the DEs, however it has started showing its age. For example, no connection of open apps to their launcher (they open a second icon), no "live" thumbnail of an open app, etc.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#theme</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/win11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#win11</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/windows11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#windows11</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linuxmint</a>

Mason Pines<a href="https://mas.to/@BackFromTheDud" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@BackFromTheDud</a> I used <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/redshift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#redshift</a> on <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#xfce</a> and have done so for a few years now.I set the lat and lon entries in the ~/.config/redshift.conf file to match my rough location, meaning it is now manual rather than automatic. The rest of redshift seems to work fine like that.I have read elsewhere that you can 'fudge' this by using the 'demo' of geoclue-2 which will provide a rough estimation of location which should be perfectly adequate for redshift purposes - I believe this is done by changing the executable to be `/usr/lib/geoclue-2.0/demos/where-am-i`

Just… Josh :BlobCatTrashed:In my "testing" <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#XFCE</a> has been running very well with no noticeable issues. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Gnome</a> looked good but ran slow and <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/lxde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LXDE</a> had lots of glitches with the DE setup.

Web browsers are a very meh. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/dillo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Dillo</a> works okay, but is not great for "modern" websites. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Chromium</a> (from Orange Pi) works okay but is very slow; standard Chromium is not available. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/epiphany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Epiphany</a> was sooooo slow that is was not usable. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/konqueror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Konqueror</a> installed but was missing dependencies to function. <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/surf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Surf</a> is working okay; good for basic sites but chugs on more demanding sites like Youtube.

So far on the <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/orangepirv2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OrangePiRV2</a> the definitive winners are XFCE, Sakura (teminal), GoodVibes, Kpat, and <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/plank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plank</a>
