I can’t for the life of me setup DDE on fedora properly!!! I’ve tried numerous tutorials but it always ends up janky and not working!!! I’m simply looking to explore other distros that the same old KDE, gnome, and xfce…

which distro has the best version of deepin desktop? - Lemmy.world
I’ve really been memorized by deepin, but I feed into the fear of the actual
distro and China blah blah. I honestly dont know, but figure better safe than
sorry. So I’ve tried Ubuntu DDE and it look like ass… Maybe they’ve update it
since. I tried installing it on my fedora 38 workstation and it didn’t play
well. Issues with rendering and weird quirks. I think I may need the lightdm
display manager idk. Anyway I hear manjaro has community maintained version. Are
there any actual distros that run a nice working DDE? I hear this distro called
extix has a very nice version, but that distro seems a bit unknown itself. Any
advice is appreciated thanks
If I'm trying to have a software program to help optimize my computers overall health and performance what should I be looking into?

If I'm trying to have a software program to help optimize my computers overall health and performance what should I be looking into? - Lemmy.world
So I am currently running stacer, tbh idk if its working good or not lol.
Sometimes my computer still flares up randomly with high CPU usage and the fan
going, but I try to use htop to pinpoint, but that tool is probably way more in
depth than I know. I’d rather have like maybe a daemon? Or always on app that
automatically notices strange things and helps balance out performance, I.e. CPU
usage, ram usage, maybe heat?Battery life, overall just to help maintain optimum
performance and proper running (I do not game at all BTW, so not a factor) The
three I know of are tlp, auto-cpufreq, and stacer. I’ve read that its not good
to run the first two together. Plus I’ve tried top numerous times and I feel it
made my perfoance worse… I tried the simple default settings and even thoroughly
went through and customized the settings, still never seemed to work right. I
experimented a little with autocpufreq but had no idea if it was working
correctly lol. I mean I followed the basic instructions to set it up, but who
knows. Same with stacer; dont know if its really working or if I even configured
it right… In your experiences, what would be the best tool or tools to help me
with this. Not really looking for monitors as I have no idea what to do with all
that info lol but tools that automatically monitor and make performance tweaks
accordingly? Idk if there is an all in one solution or if you need specific apps
together, but also need to be aware of possible confliction… Not to mention I
set up netdata lol omg I had no clue what I was looking at or how to use it.
Super overwhelming because the tool could actually help with network performance
but it was so completely confusing. Definitely not for a beginner. Would love
your guys suggestions please. Thank you
Seeking info on all of the many, lesser known desktop environments

Seeking info on all of the many, lesser known desktop environments - Lemmy.world
So I am an aesthetics guy when it comes to my distro and desktop environment. I
like things to look clean and visually appealing. Last night I kinda took a deep
dive into the world of different DE’s. Of course there’s the popular ones that
everybody knows about i.e. Cinnamon, Xfce, KDE, Mate, Gnome, etc., however
there’s a whole other world of random desktops that I was never aware of! Also
it’s difficult to find a clear list of all the available environments.
Basically, how the heck do I find out more about DE’s and which distro they are
compatable with. Of course I always check the distros site, but they usually
list the big ones and often times will say “plus others”… how can I find out
which desktops are available for which distros? I’ve find it rather tricky to
figure out. Another thing that kinda tripped me out is that it seems not all
DE’s such as the popular ones I listed, appear to be the same visually. For
instance, XeroLinux is very beautiful to me and from what I’ve gathered, it runs
KDE Plasma. Imo it looks nothing like the actual KDE Plasma OS… are there like
different versions of Gnome, KDE, Mate, etc. that look different than others? To
me, I figure they would and should all look the same. Idk, it’s all a bit
confusing to me and I hope you kind folks could shed some light. Thank you I
should mention that I have zero interest in the window manager or tiler or
whatever they are called. To me, they are super ugly and very confusing to
understand :)
Anybody know what's up with cutefish os?

Anybody know what's up with cutefish os? - Lemmy.world
I remember I had a live iso on my flash drive and was always interested in
cutefish. But it seems like the distro went under? I think I saw that folks are
focusing on developing it into a DE? I truly don’t know, but I’m curious to hear
if you guys may know something. Thanks
Still trying to figure out this Lemmy ordeal. lots of overlapping and not enough specific groups, so I feel this should belong here

So I’m struggling to understand all the different types of usb standards like
2.0, 3.1, 3.2, 4.0, etc. I am interested in only USB c to USB c. I’ve read about
higher data transfer speeds? I’m confused by what that actually means. Is that
like transferring files from your laptop to an external drive? Basically sending
files between devices in the network? I’ve read you can get 8k video resolution?
I have no need for that.I just don’t quite know what is best for me. I have a
dell xps 13 9310 laptop and the only two ports on the laptop are usb c. I’ve had
major connectivity issues after the years of wear and tear. I just had a shop
replace one port, so the major plan is to get a docking station with pass
through charging capabilities. But for now, I feel so foolish I don’t even know
what standard or protocol cables I need. Since all of the fancy features like
video display don’t appeal to me and I never do file transfers via usb, does
that mean all I need is simple usb 2.0 cables for power delivery? Do the newer 3
series standards provide more power and or helpful features? What is the best
sort of cable to link my main device, my laptop, to a docking station? I need to
start there to reduce wear and tear on the new usb c ports on my laptop. Any
pointers would be great, thanks I RUN LINUX BTW SO THATS WHY I POSTED HERE lol
gosh this whole Lemmy ordeal is tricky finding the right sub for your question, but I feel you all should have some info on this...

Seeing a lot of outdated apps being recommended, is that safe?

Seeing a lot of outdated apps being recommended, is that safe? - Lemmy.world
I’ve come to realize that a lot of foss android apps are pretty outdated and
usually abandoned. Is that even safe to use? Like even the fdroid archive
repository, are those safe to use? I’m still rather new to the foss world, but
in my mind it seems a very outdated app is probably not safe or am I missing
something here?
Right in the middle of a freeze right now, but the cursor still moves and the sound went muted. I’m pretty sure I saw errors before regarding pipe wire, pulseaudio, and I think another related program

My Debian 12 all of a sudden started freezing up on me. any kind folks that can help troubleshoot? - Lemmy.world
Its the strangest thing, as it just started recently. I’m honestly not sure if
it freezes or my touchpad somehow gets disabled. I’m wondering that because most
of the time it happens, my dell xps laptop isn’t under any sort of heavy load.
Its strange. Idk know where to start or what commands would help you guys help
me? I’ve spent hours before trying to make sense of logs lol but I just don’t
quite understand the info. Its gotta be some sort of conflicting software or
something. I’m always trying new things, so I take full blame for this issue
most likely lol. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
