I don't know why Arch faggots pretend stability isn't important. I've used the same Win7 install for 2 years without a single update and I've had no problems, allowing all of your shit to be updated at once as soon as it's ready always causes fucking problems.

fucked up my screenshot so i deleted it. anyone have a windows 2000/95 xfwm theme? I'm bout to hack together a GTK theme as the only one I could find is pretty broken. also gotta do some work on the icon theme

pick one

>>57636063
Nothing *buntu is stable anymore.

>>57636183
As a GNU/Linux beginner, could you please post the program that displays the statistics on the right?

Also, how did you made /r/unixporn look like that? It looks different on my Shitdows.

>>57636063
Xubuntu is actually pretty nice, but I'd prefer not to be stuck in 1995 looks-wise.

>>57636256
Why

I'm thinking about installing Xubuntu on my Asus laptop because Windows 10 takes like 15 minutes to boot due to driver failure.
Is there anything I should know before installing Xubuntu?

>>57636183
which firefox theme?

>>57636287
He meant conky I believe

>>57636560
They have a rodent logo

>>57636523
I don't know anon. I tried Ubuntu, xubuntu, and kubuntu 16.04 and they all crashed several times while using it.

Not very nice and stable at all

>>57636237
>>57636256
>>57636063
The file manager has crashed on me twice in the past hour. "Would you like to submit and error report?"

>>57636609
And the worst part is how cocky XFCE users and developers get about how stable their DE is. It always crashes on me.

What DE do you use?

lol

>>57636614
So get another file manager

>>57636661
I thought your DE was stable though? Why do I need to change the default file manager for it to work properly?

>>57636636
I like MATE.
It's what I'm using now and it's nice. Plus it runs great on weak hardware too

>>57636063
>*Ubuntu

no

>>57636696
Ah continuation of gnome2, nice I'll try it out

>>57636672
Xubuntu bugs != Xfce bugs
On arch/manjaro, the thunar is stable enough.

>>57636749
What version is your thunar?

>>57636749
>stable enough
That's not very reassuring

Besides, op said xubuntu, not XFCE exclusively.

>>57636738
Yeah I'm not him, but I'll chime in by saying that nothing MATE has ever crashed for me, quite impressed with it really.

Still use Unity though because it's comfy af on laptops.

Yeah I use thunar with openbox on arch and it's stable. only issue is i cannot activate single click in sudo mode

>>57636778
>single click
Anybody else single click master race? I thought it was stupid for years but fuck me it's so fucking comfy.

>>57636775
Yeah I actually can't recall a single time a Gnome DE crashed on me. They're great, I don't like the direction they're going in with 3 though in terms of design decisions and interface though. Doesn't mean it's not stable.

What version is your Thunar that's so stable?Thunar is pretty nice and lightweight but I've had a lot of problems with it over the years. Nothing that completely breaks it, but it has annoyed me with bugs.

>>57636762
As i understood the xfce mailing list it's a glibc related bug. Ubuntu is on 2.23 and arch is on 2.24.

>>57636841
Using same.

>>57636672
I've used xfce with thunar (which is the default file manager, correct?) without any issues, but not on an Ubuntu base. Honestly I was reading criticism of the window manager rather than of the distribution or desktop environment into your comment, which isn't fair. My bad.

>>57636867
Your font rendering is fucking horrendous what the fuck have you done

>>57636867
i guess it's as >>57636859 said, I've had a lot of problems with it over the years even on debian stable

>>57636885
dunno. It's Monaco with ubuntu-fontconfig

>>57636888
actually not sure if it was thunar, I'm actually thinking of pcmanfm which I definitely have had many problems with on debian stable back when I only used LXDE. either way they've both given me problems. might be a glibc bug

>>57636885
Oh it doesn't look that bad on laptop.maybe just the image quality. It does look blurry as shit in the pic though.

>>57636907
Oh yeah I remember that happened the last time I used Monaco on Ubuntu, it's fucking weird. Depending on the font size the rendering seems to shit itself.

Does Xorg keep messing up for anyone else? It tends to do this when I resume from suspend.

GTK elements turn into black lines and the panel icons disappear.

>>57636063
>thunar
>stable
this shit segfaults all the time on me.

>>57636996
Install Fedora. You won't have Xorg anymore.

>>57637131
on xubuntu or another distro?

>>57636063
vsync is broken and they should fix it.
Also thunar, and the screensaver thing that happened some time ago. Debian is better with xfce imo.

>>57636560
massive screen tear

>>57636996
I had that issue long ago with a laptop. it was unusable after. I don't use xubuntu anymore but I know it was fine on my thinkpad. seem slike every laptop works differenntly when you close lid suspend etc

hey xcfe/xubuntu guys , i have a laptop with xubuntu and when i turn the cover down , it doesn't lock automatically . any solutions ?

>>57637971
you what nigger? Frikin movies tear or get slowdowns on xfce. scrolling in firefox gets it too. are you an idiot? Games on debian? are you retarded?

whats the best file manager for xubuntu/xcfe that is better than thunar and works fine

>>57638233
i like pcmanfm. maybe the mate nautilus can work, i didnt check though but its nice.

>>57638277
pcmanfm is even worse than thunar man. more bugs

>>57638309
never had problems, but i guess its kind of abandoware nowdays.

Get Chicago95 and use the notepad.exe through wine from an official Windows 95 installation as your default text editor. Then you can call yourself a true classicist.

>>57636063
The only thing is disable desktop zoom if you want alt key scroll wheel combo on title bar combo if you want window transparency.

bout to reinstall debian testing since youbuntwo has been giving me problems and get this sexy ass theme. good job. how consistent is it though? the last gtk theme I used had trouble displaying a lot of GUI like for example my wifi applet was barely readable after its formatting got nuked by the Windows Classic theme

>>57638683

Oh, so you're retarded. Good to know.

It is very consistent, everything is modified with the exception of some minor icons here and there. Though I'm having a little trouble though with some default GUI-rich applications like the App store (I don't remember how it was called exactly) and some color picker windows. So avoid using applications with lots of custom GUI shenanigans, (because the theme might not display certain buttons/icons) and you should be good.

everything that Notepad does in Windows 95, it will do too here

very impressive, there are definitely a few kinks but probably easily fixable. any idea what's wrong with the wifi menu? and how did you get your start button to look good like that? mine is small

My parents have been running xubuntu for nearly a decade.
It's pretty stable. I've been called by them like twice for tech support.

i read this and imagined you had two hippie parents who introduced you to xubuntu but i realized it was the other way around

>>57638891

>>57638891
>>57639250
nvm i fixed it. i was confused because the "Chicago 95" start button in your theme is actually different then the one you're using.

>>57639197
It has been dead for about ten years now to be fair.

this theme is bringing me back

a lot of applications are totally fucked from using it though for example gedit. I might try to use adwaita or one of the default themes as an example and try to fix it up, no experience theming though
