ReCursing , to Linux in Two new Linux desktops, one with deep roots, come to Debian [Lomiri and GSDE]

I ran Windowmaker as my primary WM for many years back in the day. now I run KDE, but as a holdover I want the primary taskbar vertical rather than horizontal. GSDE is somewhat interesting for that reason but I doubt I'll actually install it for quite some time yet, I've got comfy with KDE

I've been on XFCE for well over 15 years, maybe nearly 20.
In the beginning I ran Xubuntu because it was faster than Gnome 2 on my ancient laptop.
Nowadays, I just run it out of habit on top of Arch. I've had my stints on KDE and modern Gnome, but I like how "out of the way" XFCE is.

GSDE looks interesting, but I'm sure it will only appeal to the Elders that have used nextstep and similar UIs.

Agreed that ChromeOS is a linux distro, weird, but a distro nonetheless! I am curious as to what percentage of ChromeOS users have actually enabled linux apps vs those who just use Chrome

Most people are not just happy because OSes that use the linux kernel now account for 3% of desktop Oses, but because presumably 3 percent of desktop users are using an OS that gives them choice and freedom. Which as the article mentioned isn't a trait of ChromeOS, the less popular ChromiumOS on the other hand, I would happily consider Linux as having 7% of desktop users out there if ChromiumOS had that 4%.

Have to say, I've been using Linux since Slackware 95. And ChromeOS + Debian container is my favorite desktop Linux experience. I do wish a couple of things are different, but with the Android app support too and the nearly seamless Wayland integration etc it's just been so...low-maintenance. For work as a developer, etc.

Every day a new rich cunt demanding the enslavement of the poor. It’s pretty tiresome.

If I’m ever in charge this guy gets to work 70 hour weeks at Popeyes.

Even worse, a Waffle House in north Florida.

Shit like this, as well as the fact that they take a ridiculously hefty cut out of what client companies pay to have positions filled (something like 70/30 or even 90/10), is why the company has an atrocious turnover rate here in the US for anyone who isn’t held hostage by visa issues.

    This was more explicit when it was called a master-servant relationship before employer-employee terminology became more common

    Compared to the productivity of 30 years ago, we probably work as much as the people back then would have to work in a 70 hour workweek.

    Weirdly enough pay didn't raise close to productivity...

    You are roughly four times as productive each hour as your grandparents.

    The measure is given as value produced per man hour (I know).

    Nevertheless, the wage gap, housing commodification, and the erasure of the family wage are also extremely relevant issues.

    Well, that was what people in Germany and Japan did after the war. I fail to recognize, though, which devastating war had been lost by India lately so they would have to rebuild the country from scratch.

    That’s a boomer myth. They used to work long hours but much relaxed pace. Go and show them the modern schedule and stressors of many modern job, and they are absolutely higher than in the past. Every honest european boomer agrees with this. Millennials europeans are working much more intensively and more effective hours overall, even in Germany

    GrindingGears ,

    Boomers used to go home too, and not have a device going off in their pockets every 55 seconds. They were able to unplug. The boss didn’t dare go to the boomers house. Today, your boss doesn’t even blink at calling you at 2am.

    I have a separate phone for work and turn that thing off immediately when my 8 hours are up.
