Have you tried Silverblue? If Bluefin’s Gnome customisation isn’t for you I expect Silverblue would be much closer to Workstation

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?English
1·2 years agoPerth?
True story - I moved from Scotland to Perth when I was 6. A few months later I visited Tranby House, one of the oldest buildings in Perth at around 1830. I remember thinking to myself that our house in Scotland before we moved was older than that (circa 1800)

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon?English
9·2 years agoI prefer Lemmy over Mastodon for the same reason I preferred Reddit (pre-APIpocalypse) over Twitter (pre-Musk) - the ability to subscribe to specific communities with similar interests. Try as I might in Mastodon with selective subscriptions to certain posters I still find myself scrolling through stuff I have no interest in hoping for a nugget of interest.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are your top 3 purchases of all time?English
64·2 years ago-
Electric Mountain bike - i am over 50 and had not rode regularly since my teens. I borrowed a MTB from a friend last year and struggled to make any progress until I picked up a secondhand e-MTB. Since then I have been averaging around 150km/week and my stamina has notably improved.
-
PC - been a PC guy since 1989 and could not picture life without one. I’m an inveterate tinkerer and have built and rebuilt dozens over the years. I currently have a gaming desktop dual-booting Ubuntu and Win11 and a laptop running Ubuntu plus a couple of servers.
-
iPad - for years I was an Android guy but a couple years back I traded a spare laptop to my niece for her iPad (she wanted to learn coding) and was blown away by the user experience. Since then I have gone all in with iPhone, apple watch, and an old Macbook Air.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Introducing Fedora Atomic Desktops - Fedora MagazineEnglish
3·2 years agoYeah I had a similar experience when logging on to Sway - I had no clue what to do. Did you ever figure out how to bring up a menu or launcher? All I could do after googling was launch a terminal

Linux@lemmy.ml•Introducing Fedora Atomic Desktops - Fedora MagazineEnglish
9·2 years agoI’m running Onyx (sorry… Fedora Budgie Atomic) on my Thinkpad and love it. Last night I decided to give Sway a shot and, when I was done with that, rolled back to Budgie without any of the cruft of installing additional DE’s alongside each other.
