Solarmass sleek as heck. Nice. big fan of your efficiency and real estate.

@SethStorm666 ~~you've made an anecdotal case that the Mate exodus already occurred; thought there'd be 2-3 holdouts but no. edit-typo~~

second edit: @Staudey is still rocking Mate; my observation less/not valid.

To be fair that's only on my laptop that I rarely used except to test MATE-related changes ^^

Best KDE Plasma implementation I've ever used.

That is one thing I like with Gnome too. The Dashboard on KDE is not near as good. And every other launcher in KDE uses 32px and downwards icon images which makes it hard to see the icons.

I just switched from Xfce to Plasma because of wake-up issue. I like the minimalized of Xfce a lot, but I could stay no longer with that issue. So far, I have no big issue with Plasma 6 except known flickering issue with Nvidia driver + Wayland. Happy until now 🙂

You can strip Plasma, so it become minimalism. I have done so far. Removed the "extra" entries in dolphin as an example and strip Dolphin to its barebone:

Harvey Thank you. Can you point me to instructions on how to install gnome the kosher way?

Download the Solus Gnome ISO and install it or if you are not using Plasma you can do this:

Personally I only suggest reinstalling with the edition you wish to use.

I installed Solus Gnome in a VM to give instructions on using a wayland session but it appears to be the default:

Harvey thank you!

Harvey Yes, can confirm. Just installed and is the default, running very smooth!

Why Budgie, of course. Are there any other DE's? 😉

[edit: plank icons exploded otherwise they won't launch from behind the budgie taskbar unless they peek out a little more. Dear Branding Crew: you have not stopped stocking great pics month after month)
