Harvey That would be kinda interesting to see Canonical choosing other DE over Gnome now because of stupid Gnome Dev Team politics. Few years ago they left their own Unity which was based on Gnome 2 & impossible to update bla bla bla. Now that would be interesting for me.

I switched from Solus Budgie to Manjaro Gnome a month ago because of Arch software compatibility. Tried to use Gnome Desktop with all of these extensions... Got mad & switched back to Budgie - best DE in my opinion for now & fits my need. Needs a few bugs or features but I love it. So now Manjaro with Budgie & because of Manjaro ,,bloat" I kinda want to switch to vanilla Arch + Budgie but I'm not ready yet xD

    Dentraq which applet are you using to display network speed on the panel ?

        uudruid74 the only thing I miss the most about Gnome, and the only thing that I would like for Budgie to have. Is that when you press the "super" key by default it brings you a preview of all the open tabs which actually looks and feels awesome. Nice video btw !
        Looks like that laptop got some extra life with Solus, awesome speed.

            laky It's not as clean but you can use skippy-xd and assign a hotkey to it.

                Justin seems I need to compile it myself, guess github is the way to go? I'll check it out, thanks for mentioning !
                Edit:
                It looks like it needs these dependencies

                libimlib2-dev libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxft-dev

                libxrender-dev zlib1g-dev libxinerama-dev libxcomposite-dev libxdamage-dev libxfixes-dev libxmu-dev

                I don't know does solus keep different names for some of these but I can't find all with sudo eopkg sf
                should I just request it on dev tracker or something? Seems unsafe to me.

                    laky sf is for search file, you want sr which is search. However if you need assistance I'd recommend starting a dedicated thread.

                        Justin I am really getting myself into this, but I believe that it will not end good 😃 . Haha, sorry to take anymore of this nonsense here, but since you mentioned it I want to ask have you made this to run on Budgie? I've also checked with sudo find / | grep -i "" and "zlib1g libfreetype6 libfontconfig1" where not found also the first thing I saw when I opened the zip file I downloaded from github was a deb folder. Not sure is it a good idea to even open a thread for this.

                            laky sudo find / | grep -i "" won't find you anything. grep "" means search for everything.

                            Going to assume as I'm not compiling it here but
                            libfontconfig1 is fontconfig-devel
                            libfreetype6 is freetype2-devel
                            zlib1g is zlib-devel

                            It's just often a matter of search for part of the word, or dropping the lib prefix.

                                Justin You've been of a great help. I don't need to open anymore posts about it.Thanks for the info.
                                Edit: If this makes it any better, neither of those packages where installed on my system, so that is a big plus to know ! 🙂
