You can run i3 inside XFCE on a per user basis, but convincing my wife/kids to swap users when they need the computer for “just a second”…

I just take the win that they are on Linux and use a shared account.

XFCE. I also like tiling WMs, but I often have to share computers and they are too unintuitive for the rest of the family.

As someone stuck in DTW, I feel the pain.

The beauty of Linux at home, you get to choose what works best for you.

Also, you can configure sudo to prompt every time if you really want.

I was on a system that was configured that way for “security”, so I would just ‘sudo bash’ which is obviously much safer /s.

N64 controller. It’s insane, but I love it.

I totally expect one day a XFCE (Wayland) option will show up, I will click it, forget I did, and use it forever more.

XOrg is my daily driver for these reasons:

1. I mostly use XFCE, which doesn’t have Wayland yet
2. last time I tried Wayland (long time ago now on Gnomr), it was buggy and didn’t work
3. I don’t change my setups that much, so I haven’t tried it since
4. I don’t need the features Wayland offers/XOrg covers my use cases
5. Wayland drama

That being said, I have no fundamental opposition to Wayland, and will probably use it someday.

Slackware was my first real distro (many moons ago), glad to see people still enjoy it.

I inject myself with beans every morning, usually French press

Similarly, I like to toy around with tiling window managers, but then someone less technical needs to use the computer, so back to XFCE we go.

I do love the “shorts can be no more than 1 inch above the knees”, but “cheerleaders get to wear the equivalent of bathing suits to class because it is a ‘uniform’.”

Probably because of what happened to CentOS. Who owns the Fedora trademark? How independent is Fedora really?

I am not saying anyone should avoid Fedora, I can just understand why someone would.

Because less ports equals less cost.

My Home Assistant Voice is getting really close to displacing Alexa.

+1 Void Linux revived my old ThinkPad very well.

Use the image with XFCE and glibc for the easiest time.
