Starting with mine. I'm Bi

I don't have my rice on me right now, but I had awesomewm as my window manager, urxvt as my terminal, Century Schoolbook Mono as my font, and pic related as my background.

0/100

cool! I like urxvt a lot. Best term for tiling WMs

debian is just ubuntu without comfy drivers and presets

for this reason debian can't be comfy

What are you talking about you bumbling idiot?
presets:
>Debian lets you pre-select a DE during install.
drivers:
>add non-free repositories to your /apt/sources.list
>sudo apt update
>sudo apt install nvidia-driver
was that really so hard? I use debian, and the only problem I have with it personally is the font rendering is absolute shit at first, but you can fix it.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of it. Also, to answer your second question, I'm bi also, but you knew that from last thread.

Debian comes with gigabytes of drivers in the base install, it's hardly ill-equipped.

That's one sexy background. Makes me feel warm feelings.

>>Debian lets you pre-select a DE during install.
a raw DE that looks like absolute shit by default

>add non-free repositories
lol no wifi driver to add repos

This is cool! Looks very retro and neat! But why do you have Google Chrome running when you have Firefox?

did you try running the non-free iso. here it is btw cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

Stop recommending this shit, I already tried this once and it still asked for b43.ucode and a bunch of other shit.

alright. I'm pretty sure you'll try it again

...

So let's talk about boys!
Regardless of your opinions on systemd, what does everyone think of Lennart Poettering? He looks kinda cute in this pic

Cool rice, user! Good to see another bspwm user here

>lol no wifi driver to add repos
I want to install debian but I'm afraid of falling for this meme tbqh

thanks

Use the non-free iso it worked for me.

Just install over ethernet, then add the non-free repo and install your drivers.
You'll be good to go.

How are all you gays doing this fine evening?

what a horrible, terrible question to ask, jesus christ
asking this makes me actually think about how I'm doing this evening and realize I'm not doing fine
and it's not a fine evening. not at all.
great job user, you may have contributed to my suicide

Why aren't you doing fine?

I come here to forget my problems, not to be reminded of them, user

Regardless, I hope you feel better.

thanks, I appreciate that

My shameless rice. I did this for your thread desu.

I'm changing my username.
It's disgusting how many userspace programs simply hardcode your homefolder into their config files.
One of the most bizarre ones is how the gtk3 file picker determines what files are recently opened.
Every filename is stored in ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel, and every filename is hardcoded.

It's probably a minor thing, but I pick most of my reaction pics based on the order they show up in the Recent Files tab.

debian users claim they want equality but really the want special treatment. Like making desktop threads for just themselves instead of making one for everybody.

Cute programmer socks!
Yeah, it's ridiculous. Hell, it's easier to just query environment variables than store the user's current home directory on installation. Too many low-iq programmers out there.

...

Gay Debian Discord server when?

Not him, but chrome is a must for a lots of things (office, skype, other web services).

tripcode, do you ever jerk off to your pictures?

asking for a friend

Nice rice! I'm a fan of the serif font in the taskbar.

>uptime: 4m
>uptime: 20m

do you people just role play as linux users?
i see this shit constantly in desktop threads

No desu, I prefer porn with 2 people, maybe more if it isn't 3dpd.

I created a unkillable floating box with crap urxvt config and I decided to use the sub 40 second reboot of my libreboot system instead of pressing control alt f2.

I switched from xterm for this thread, I should have made the composting more noticable.

You should use the quote function btw baka, unless your trying to be mean :c

No bully.

why are debian so retarded? i mean look at this bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=819703

I'm considering switching to Debian w/ XFCE from Antergos w/ KDE, Idk why I just think the KDE's UI has this weird feeling to it. And Debian has a nicer sounding name and nicer logo than Antergos. Only things I would really miss are the AUR and QT, pretty sure KDE Connect works on other DEs right? Should I do it? Also would it be hard to get all of the packages back that I spent all that time configuring on Antergos? Is there anything I should transfer over besides pictures and stuff? I'll probably use a VM before I install just to make sure I like it.

>Debian
>Desktop
wut

Here's a better uptime. I've posted my desktop a long time ago and people don't seem to like my normie desktop. Only tiling WMs get attention. But Debian is ready for more than that. I'm using it on a laptop just fine.
Posting my desktop and my level of gayness is quite low as I have a companion who was born without penises.

O ya and one more question, am I supposed to use Stable, Testing, or Unstable? I heard Stable is mostly for servers, Testing is for desktops, and Unstable is just bleeding edge. Is this correct?

Stable is fine mostly, and is stable, would be great for servers. Testing is kinda a rolling release, and Unstable is the closest to bleeding edge, but is allas unstable.

I feel you KDE just feels weird to me as well. I use gnome mostly now. I don't see why KDE connect wouldn't work, but I have never used it. XFCE can run QT apps, so technically you shouldn't have any issues. I would advise trying to install the more obscure packages you have that way you know if they work with the version of Debian you are using. I have had a few dependencies issues on Debian because the packages are either too old on stable or too new on testing. Regardless you will figure out that the distros are not all that different. And when you get used to compiling things from GitHub Debian should work nicely for you. I would go with Testing for day to day use, but Stable is new enough to were you won't have too many issues.

I had to stop using gnome3...ended up settling for MATE. Is good.

>trying to install debian dual boot with win10
>doesn't work
>o-ok... let's try debian alone
>finally boots
>clock/keyboard layout is wrong
>doesn't recognize my amd gpu

I don't mind fiddling with config files but if I'm installing something like debian/ubuntu etc I expect things to "just werks" out of the box
without that convenience what's the fucking point? with arch I never had any problem as soon as I hit startx for the first time

no thanks but I'll stick with arch

Normie weeb desktop I made after about 3 hours of surfing the net and downloading weird skins. First time but oh well.

debfags can't compete

MATE is trash this days. Cinnamon is better. I can't believe I just said this but is true.

>11 year old desktop dying
>want to build a replacement
>Debian won't have drivers for current hardware
>have to use another distro for a few years
Life is pain.

>Debian won't have drivers for current hardware
You sure? There's a good chance that newish drivers are in unstable, which I use because I don't like moldy packages on a desktop, and it's not actually unstable relatively speaking.
