@seek too bright, sorry

@silkevicious well, you can just everything dark? I just prefer black on white now.

@seek i do it for my eyes 😃

@silkevicious I bought me glasses with blue light filters, 😄 so now I have no problem staring at white backgrounds. Before that I used to make everything dark.

@seek i have those too but still prefer the dark 😄
anyway i never tried i3, my fav still openbox/fluxbox 😎

@silkevicious they look classic. They are not keyboard centered, are they?

@seek nope. But still very minimal 🙂

@silkevicious cool, I like minimal ones a lot! but now I don't think I will ever move to something other than i3. It's so easy to use now.
I am too lazy to use touch/track pads 😆

@seek with mouse it's just fine. I don't have touchpad!

@silkevicious then it's cool! I like your taste. These days most people I know who use linux go for KDE plasma, Gnome or something fancy like that.

@seek back when i started using linux like 15y ago, KDE (3 now Trinity) weighted a ton, gnome (2 now MATE) was just fine as good compromise between functionality and consume of resources, XFCE (4) didn't meet my taste at that time.

Then the first 2 went away in fancy things to follow other commercial fashions, so i switched to minimal to LXDE/openbox/fluxbox... 🙂

@silkevicious wow cool!

@seek what distro are you using?

@seek i'm on the other side of the penguin... 😜

@silkevicious well now I am curious,what are you using? gento?

@seek
No no i love debian family so i use debian, but lately i'm switching to mxlinux and antix

@silkevicious ahh debian! cool, I am not that used to those. I've only used linux mint and ubuntu when it comes to debian based ones.

@seek ubuntu was my first linux distro, dropped after they introduced Unity.
Then i went on Mint because they provide Mate desktop. Then i grow up and chose better distros 😜
Lately i arrived at mxlinux/antix because of (no) systemd.

@silkevicious cool, why didn't you try any arch based ones?

@seek the only non debian i tried was fedora, and was ok. But mother debian call me home then 😂
I tried to install arch one but gave up, too difficult (but was years ago)

@silkevicious ahh! 😄 I see it's not easy to leave the mother debian.

@seek also, i heard Arch breaks easy?

@silkevicious it's because Arch is a rolling one, but I don't think it would just break for no reason. But anyway something like manjaro won't cause it's in the middle.

@seek i may try it sooner or later, who knows. It's a bit too pop lately for my tastes. I prefer uncommon choices 😜

@silkevicious hahaha me too! that's why I am gonna try something like parabola 😄 but for me mxlinux and antix are also uncommon cause I've never seen them or used them before.

@seek i installed mx on sister notebook (which was totally unusable with win10 on it - superlaggish with only bare OS on it), now it's working greatly, she's enthusiast of it - and she never used linux before!
i installed antix on a 2004ish PC i had when i was at high school and it works! 😂 using like 120MB of RAM or so!

@silkevicious wow it's impressive for manjaro + i3 wm it uses like 250mbs. 120mb of ram is super cool! I still have a desktop computer with only 1gig of ram may be I can use it again with something like antix! ( well I will have to find a monitor somehow 😄 )

@seek same here! 1GB RAM, 80GB HDD SATA1, CPU Pentium 4 3GHz, ATI Radeon 9600 AGP
