I try to like KDE but it seems bloated to me...I mean it looks nice, but there are way too many things to mess with or mess up for me... I prefer something more basic.

I see what you mean. I use KDE, and yeah, it can be a bit heavy.

Currently looking at WayFire.

This looks really nice! What gnome extensions are you using to get the top panel looking like that?

I am using Blur my Shell for the transparency, and Logo Menu for the menu on the left hand side.  Just using the System Monitor extension for the system info.  For the roundedness, I used the Orchis Shell Theme from gnome-look.org

Thanks Nick - I couldn't remember where I got that one.

Switched to CachyOS...  I finally found the distro I love! It's so fast, very optimized and it works amazingly with Nvidia drivers.  Gnome Desktop of course.

 

That looks very nice. I'm going to have to check it out.

Want something even faster? Try Clear OS. 😛

To think that almost two years ago I was running windows 10 in all my machines, thinking "well, updates updates and that is that if it is really the last version of windows".

Then artificial requirements happened...

Then I switched to Debian just by mere curiosity to see if really steam ran there. Boy, I was in for a ride...

In for a ride, how, exactly?

Linux has been a long reign.

In this context I mean it as a compliment. Because I began to understand several things related to Linux and how directly each one controls the PC. 

It was akin to me when long ago I reformatted my first win98 PC. It was a compaq 5253. Now, the problem was not formatting it and installing win98, it was rather to find the drivers for each one of the components inside of it.

But when i found them and I understood how the OS worked it feel good. Interestingly enough with linux I do not have to worry much about drivers nowadays.
