Superdave!Giving the Tuba fediverse client another go.

PublicLewdnessI usually use Plank for a dock. Can anybody who uses Guix recommend a replacement ? Guix doesn't seem to have Plank or the Mate Dock Applet. I could switch to XFCE if I need to as it has a built in dock but would prefer to stick with mate if I can.<a href="https://gameliberty.club/tags/guix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#guix</a> <a href="https://gameliberty.club/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://gameliberty.club/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a> <a href="https://gameliberty.club/tags/plank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#plank</a> <a href="https://gameliberty.club/tags/matedesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#matedesktop</a>

Drew NaylorI really like KDE, but I also find Mate to be a cozy experience. Those are currently my two favorite desktops and they have been for about a decade now. LXQt and Xfce are good too and I'll use them but I don't like them as much as those two. But I really only like KDE with the Diamond theme (the Plasma 4 version).<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/KDEPlasma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDEPlasma</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/MateDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MateDesktop</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LXQt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LXQt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xfce</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PlasmaDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PlasmaDesktop</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DesktopLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DesktopLinux</a>

Sean DavisBeyond the release of Xfce 4.20, I've also been thinking about theming in Xubuntu.We've long shipped the Greybird and Numix themes. Greybird was developed largely internally (❤️ Shimmer Project), but hasn't had much love in recent years. The same can be said for Numix.What themes do you recommend that are well-maintained and work well with Xfce, MATE, and GNOME? Would they be a good fit for Xubuntu?<a href="https://floss.social/tags/Xfce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xfce</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/MateDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MateDesktop</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNOME</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Xubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Xubuntu</a>

Devin Prater :blind:Yes! That's how you do it!I needed to copy a file from the Braille Sense Six, an Android 12 Braille tablet note taker blind thing, and upload it to Google Drive. So I plugged it into my Linux machine. MTP opened in the Caja file manager. I navigated to the file, and pressed Control + C to copy it. I then Alt Tabbed back to Google Chrome, which was open to the Google Drive folder I needed to upload the file to. I then pressed Alt + C, then U, for upload file. I then pressed Alt + ` (grav) to switched to the popup window, pressed Control + V to paste, heard the file name, pressed Enter, and boom, it uploaded, from an external device! Ugh that's so freaking cool! I know, simple, but still! I wasn't sure it'd work.<a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blind</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fedora</a> <a href="https://tweesecake.social/tags/MateDesktop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MateDesktop</a>
