#Kpat

It's the small things that you notice.

In #Debian13 I've noticed that the patience solving engine in #kpat is a lot better. #rawtherapee knows how to read the #EXIF data from a #Canon #CR3 file.

I know there are thousands and thousands of other changes, but it's odd what you notice.

The #Konsole profile selector still doesn't work and #kmail refuses to start on the screen I want it to, but I can live with that.

In my "testing" #XFCE has been running very well with no noticeable issues. #Gnome looked good but ran slow and #LXDE had lots of glitches with the DE setup. I installed #JWM (have not tested) and plan to install #KDE to try out if available.

Web browsers are a very meh. #Dillo works okay, but is not great for "modern" websites. #Chromium (from Orange Pi) works okay but is very slow; standard Chromium is not available. #Epiphany was sooooo slow that is was not usable. #Konqueror installed but was missing dependencies to function. #Surf is working okay; good for basic sites but chugs on more demanding sites like Youtube.

Terminal apps all seem to be working fine. Simple apps like #GoodVibes and #Kpat work with out issues.

3D Games were not playable if they even loaded up. #Minetest opened but was like 1 frame per 3 seconds. #TuxCart installed but would not open.

So far on the #OrangePiRV2 the definitive winners are XFCE, Sakura (teminal), GoodVibes, Kpat, and #plank

Okay, I think I have #JWM set up as close to ideal (for now) as I can get it. I installed #Compton for transparency effects; this upped my memory use on the #mangopiquad but it was worth it. I could still run #Clementine, #Kpat, and #Dillo at the same time, so I am good. :Debian: #Debian #armhf

Screenshot of JWM running on Debian.  There is on main window open with Neofetch info and another smaller window with Thunar open.  On the left side of the screenshot is the Conky info.  Windows and Conky have transparency effects.  Wallpaper is a sad robot riding the city train looking out a window.

Since the kiddo is home sick, it's time to learn some #JWM in the down times. So far it has been pretty straight forward. I will say running it on a #mangopiquad (#armhf) has made it trickier to set up; most tutorials/videos I have found are ppl running JWM on #X86.

So far with #Clementine, #Btop, and #Kpat running I am on average around 65% ram use, 20 to 40% cpu use, and temps averaging around 69 (nice) freedom units.

As an aside, I am not much of a fan of #KDE Plasma DE but I have to say KDE's stand alone applications have been super solid.

#Angelfish has been a solid and fast browser.

#KPat has been a great desktop solitaire game

and #Tokodon has been the most reliable and easy #Mastodon app that I have used on the desktop.
