#Linux #Mint22.3 »Zena« #Beta zum Testen bereit.

Gestern hat das Team von #Linux #Mint die Beta-Version von #LinuxMint 22.3 »Zena« für Testzwecke freigegeben. Wie bereits bekannt, basiert die neue Version auf Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS und bietet Cinnamon 6.6 als Standard-Desktop-Umgebung. Wie gewohnt, stehen auch Abbilder mit #Xfce und #Mate zur Wahl. Die Veröffentlichung der stabilen Version wird noch für dieses Jahr erwartet, kann aber je nach den gefundenen Fehlern...

eine sparsame grafische Oberfläche braucht weniger Ressourcen und zudem laufen bei #linux auch nicht so viele Anwendungen im Hintergrund mit.

Xfce is a lightweight desktop and @itsfoss has written an article of 10 best Linux distributions of Xfce.

Starting from Debian, Arch-based, even including Slackware-based distribution, it's very stunning to see Xfce is very adaptive to suit user need.

Zweimal fast das gleiche Bild. Dazwischen liegen gut 10 Jahre.

Ganz unbewusst habe ich mir fast exakt den gleichen Desktop gebastelt.
Links: Debian mit XFCE, 2015. Rechts: Linux Mint, Cinnamon, 2025.

Dazwischen liegen Versuche mit Fedora, Archlinux, KDE, GNOME und mehr.

Zufällig bin ich über einen alten Artikel von mir gestolpert und musste wirklich schmunzeln: Man wird älter - manche Konstanten ändern sich trotzdem nicht...

Acho melhor usar os recursos da máquina, ainda que não sejam escassos, com as aplicações do que com o ambiente. Não lembro mais quem me convenceu disso, mas concordo e desde então tenho sempre usado algo mais enxuto como, por exemplo, #LXQt ou #Xfce, que ainda consigo ajustar para aproveitar mais espaço vertical da tela. :xfce: #recomendo

Mas, de toda forma, nada é a prova de :bug:, que às vezes pode ser o caso aí!

After a long time using i3wm, I'm trying to survive with Xfce, because it is my favorite desktop environment. I got so used to the automatic tiling of windows that I get lost easily with the windows all over the place.

Non-systemd operating systems like the BSDs, Devuan, etc...

Do we think there will be some kind of work around in place for Gnome 50?

Has KDE articulated a plan either in favour or not for systemd-only in the future similarly to Gnome?

Xfce stated a direction?

I'm going to guess that Cosmic will always be only systemd.

To be clear, the #Xfce project is not actively soliciting financial donations.

We migrated from BountySource to OpenCollective in 2021 in order to avoid losing any previously donated money due to BountySource's impending enshittification.

At this time, the money is parked there and we are unable to disable financial donations for those who wish to do so.

Any future plans for the existing Xfce finances is TBD.

@EpiphanicSynchronicity @ozamidas @anildash no gnome stayed that bad. I like free software operating systems because you find install then stay with the desktop and/or window manager you like. #xfce in my case, or #i3 / #sway.

Note that most free software window managers / desktops can be installed on the BSDs too so it's wrong to call these #linux when you are referring to the user interface. A few have hooks to systemd which ties them to the linux kernel, but most don't.
