brent elfprince security conscious at the very least--when I finally understood what the ufw default settings (all or nothing) actually did it was enormous peace of mind. set it and forget it. It's not the only piece of the security puzzle but now I realize there was no security at all like this on another platform we all used too long..
elfprince brent On Linux there is much less risk of attacks from internet, compared to ms w systems. I just like to have an additional peace of mind by also using ufw. π
joluveba I actually (re)installed Solus in my desktop a few days ago, so this list is real π 1 ufw and gufw 2 Brave 3 Korla, Papirus and La Capitaine icons (eye candy) 4 VLC 5 Grub customizer And if it's a laptop, tlp is a top priority
brent joluveba 3 Korla, Papirus and La Capitaine icons (eye candy) jppelt I really like Korla. Have to check out La Capitaine. A day afer dialing in I install from repo all icon/widget packages so I can...wait for it...mix and match like a child! La Capitaine was always one of those "unusable" packages since it left some sys icons/widgets empty or weird. Now I love me some Korla all day long like many. A user named @WetGeek installed Korla recently and it La Capitaine'd him ( I made that term upπ). Meaning? I don't know. Not all package combos are compatible I supposes
WetGeek First installs: Vivaldi VirtualBox VLC Micro (best editor for the terminal) restic (backup) First things to configure/use: Thunderbird Vivaldi /etc/fstab (access to nfs shares) .bashrc (install my macros) restic/backups
brent WetGeek yeah I think first 5 simplistic in context...I didn't even think about the time configuring the native stuff, which you pointed out, but it's all pretty concurrent in that two hour flurry until Solus is seaworthy (in the eyes of the user). WOW Micro is one I never tried or heard of. I like vlc for a few things but that broken car on side of rode cone icon always has such a negative connotation for me! Caution it screams. Maybe they need a parakeet mascot instead?
WetGeek brent A user named @WetGeek installed Korla recently Hmmm ... don't remember that. What does it do, and did I like it? EDIT: Oh, was that the theme that left a lot of icons as empty white rectangles? I didn't think of it at first, because it was on my computer less than 5 minutes. Not long enough to remember the name, I guess.
joluveba brent Hmm, how strange. I had that problem with other icon sets (like Numix), but never with Korla or La Capitaine. No missing icons. By the way, this is in KDE Plasma, I don't know if that problem exists in other desktops. I hate it when there are missing icons.
WetGeek brent WOW Micro is one I never tried or heard of. It's a lot like using a text editor outside the terminal. Works just as you're expect ... Ctrl+S to save, then Ctrl+Q to quit. Supports copy & paste with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, again as expected. So for most folks, zero learning curve.
brent WetGeek they always look nice until: " left a lot of icons as empty white rectangles?" for as much as I read here I forget the compatibility thing about icon suites. all gtk is all gtk and all ABC is all ABC and never the twain shall meet or something like that.
WhiteWolf WetGeek I'm using Korla on Budgie and no triangles/empty icons etc. just restart machine if something is missing or restart desktop session and it's fine.
WetGeek WhiteWolf I'm using Korla on Budgie and no triangles/empty icons etc I was using Plasma, but the missing icons were in applications. As I remember, the system icons were all there.
joluveba WetGeek Perhaps. When a set of icons is faulty, I usually notice it in KDE System Settings. I go there and see that there are items with missing icons. What applications in your computer show no icons?
WetGeek joluveba What applications in your computer show no icons? I resolved the problem so quickly that I'm no longer sure, but I suspect it was Spider Software from the AisleRiot collection. Or it could have been something else. I'm not sure what I was using when I changed the theme. I'm very happy for those of you who like it and use it without any drama, but I saw no reason to change.
brent WetGeek @joluveba Odd. When I know a theme won't work for me it's never the mangling of installed software. My tip-off right away is always the applets in the system tray or menu... ...but in the never-ending game of matching icons/widgets I wonder if stuff I declare "incompatible" is hasty because in science parlance I did not also change the second variable (icon or widget) to make sure it was incompatible. Yeah, that's the thing with the 'eye candy'..
