I don't know what happened but it's fucking trash now. All the same bugs on my other laptop and my desktop, too. 16.04 can suck my turgid cock, LTS my ass.
Might finally have to try CLD or--ye gods--Arch.
Jaxon King
Did you also get the bug where the whisker menu button turns into a black box when moving tabs around?
Noah Rodriguez
I would honestly try mate. It's been rock solid for me. I always had problems with XFCE.
Colton Allen
I have not been able to have a stable experience with any 16.04 so far. And I remember using 14.04 and 15.04 without issues.
Nicholas Williams
>>unlock >>cursor has disappeared
this is a known bug with the latest xubuntu. you can get it back by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7 or switching to something other than lightdm
Noah Clark
Cursor bug is caused by shitty intel drivers and there is easy workaround for it. You can also switch virtual consoles and it will come back but that's no solution. Yes, 16.04 is dogshit, either learn how to fix your shit or wait for 16.04.1. Don't bother with arch, looking how you struggle with Xubuntu you won't ever like it.
Landon Williams
Did you update it from 15.04? I know I did on Ubuntu and it fucked my shit up. Did a clean install and all the bugs magically disappeared.
Bentley Cox
Actually the fix for it is switching to UXA acceleration method for intel driver, which literally requires 1 line of code added to config file.
Owen Ross
No, thank fuck.
Right? Something deeply wrong 'ere, I tells ya.
I'm glad some workarounds exist until a bugfix hits, but it's still a shower of shit. Shouldn't have to put up with this crap in 2016.
Andrew Ward
I don't understand why UXA isn't the default on every distro. SNA is nothing but trouble and fuel for whiny tards.
Josiah Martin
Lubuntu fo lyfe!
Owen Howard
made a clean install of 16.04 on a desktop computer and it seems to be running just fine. I haven't jumped from 15.10 because I'm lazy. Probably will try Arch given it just works on my thinkpad.
Adam Peterson
I don't use linux anymore but never had this problem op.Maybe bad ISO or install. Mine always remebered the wifi pass after installation.

Hudson Rivera
Almost never hear of the many people talk about it werking in their machine.
Adrian Taylor
Bro, get on the Ubuntu:Mate train! It's your best bet. And 16.04 is buggy as shit at the moment. Hopefully the point release will take care of those issues.
William Rogers
That's the only Ubuntu I haven't tried yet, maybe I will now and let MATE take me back to the glory days.
Gabriel Stewart
There is no reason to use xfce in a world where MATE exists.
Nolan Williams
The new LTS is fucking terrible.
Luis Perry
Would manjaro be a good replacement?
Asher Smith
The desktop environment is the problem, not the Linux distro! Ubuntu GNOME is working flawlessly on my system.
Aiden Ward
I know how you feel, I used to recommend xubuntu to everyone because it worked perfectly and did everything I needed. Every version after 14.04 has been shit. There's always something that doesn't work correctly.
For example, renaming files randomly crashes Thunar. This has been a known bug for months if not over a year and has not been fixed.
Matthew Allen
Had to be an installation problem or your computer went off during an update? I have no idea but that's really abnormal. Reinstall that shit senpai.
Ryder Mitchell
To be expected when xfce development has basically stopped
Isaiah Lewis
Any one knows how to fix this?
Robert King
Would the suspend issue be caused by the light dm greeter? I doubt it, it's still on launchpad with people still posting when the bug was filed back in early 2014.
Dominic Fisher
Sad
Luke Reed
I'm suspicious of lightdm also, it's been a little fucking shit for me on Antergos lately too.
Ian Jackson
Never had a good experience with lightdm on xubuntu.
Just fuck xubuntu and xfce altogether. It was great once, but now it's a steaming pile of shit. Why would you use it on a relevant machine anyway? It was good for resurrecting old pcs, but it isn't worth the hassle anymore.
Juan Long
>all this pleb tier shilling against xfce ITT
Isaac Robinson
I get this. It's kind of annoying.
Logan Bell
Xfce is a buggy mess
Jaxon Watson
Enjoy bugfixes that take roughly 4 years to make it outside of beta.
Justin Gray
dont forget the screentearing
Leo Wright
>LTS
Kek
Nathan Ortiz
ive also had issues with xfce, should i try cinnamon or gnome?
Landon Price
>using amateur neckbeard *buntu variants instead of the real deal
Ryder Stewart
Cinnamon if you're a winblows loving cuck. Gnome is you're kewl.
Noah Evans
gnome is shit tho pham
Eli Smith
This. As everything changes around it, it'll slowly rot and get worse. Like that hooker in my van.
Ayden Parker
>ctrl-f "gentoo" >no results What the fuck?
Nolan Fisher
Doubt he's up for configuring Openbox or anything else tho.
Kayden Johnson
Xfce development isn't stopped, just slow. Software don't expire so i don't care.
Benjamin Kelly
The is why dumped DE altogether. XFCE was the one and I can't use it without whisker-menu
Hunter Sullivan
can you still use a mouse with a tiling wm or do u have to do everything by keyboard shortcuts?
Liam Lee
>he fell for the xfce meme lmao
Cameron Baker
This. Nigga install Lubuntu.
Kevin Harris
That's worse.
Nathaniel Parker
I didn't have a good experience with XFCE either.
Justin Lopez
Is there any reason why xubongo would cause chromium to crash all the fucking time?
Seriously thinking about switching to Fedora because of this. I cant fucking watch youtube and have Sup Forums open without chromium either freezing or having tabs crash. Its not chromium because i didnt have this issue on windows.
Henry Jones
This. The only good DE is mate.
Ryan Flores
this has been a bug for a while, it's retarded
I like XFCE, but some of the bugs are really dumb. I stopped putting icons on my desktop with it entirely because it'd leave droppings when I dragged them around.
it's been a while since I bothered with Chromium on Linux, I distinctly remembered it getting worse and worse each release there (IIRC, it was like version 28 or 30 when I dropped it, somewhere around there) it gradually stopped using native controls and all kind of dumb shit and eventually got slow as fuck
