Mark Daniels-Wr. 🟢Dear <a href="https://mastodon.online/@danirabbit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@danirabbit</a> , I have installed elementary 8 on my trusty old Lenovo T430 and am really liking it, it is smooth and can do everything I need. I am just wondering if there is an easier way to add online accounts because didn’t find anything in the documentation… is there a gnome program that might help? Anyway, thanks for this really nice distribution. Have a relaxing Sunday 👍 Mark DW <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/elementaryos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elementaryos</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AncientLaptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AncientLaptop</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/smallgreenleafhopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#smallgreenleafhopper</a>

DOROI replaced Linux Mint with elementary OS, and I’m very happy with it. Mint is not bad, but it’s not exactly what I was looking for. I’m sure elementary is it. After using it for several hours, I can say that it’s even faster than Mint and looks super nice. I love how light it is.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LinuxMint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxMint</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elementaryOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elementaryOS</a>

Mark JonesI know that AI gets a lot of stick these days and rightly so in some cases, but I have made something using it that I consider to be really cool and genuinely useful.. for me at least.

Amir KhanLove the clean dock in elementaryOS but also prefer the flexibility of Linux Mint?You can have both - especially if you're using any other X11-based distro like Mint. Here's how: - Move taskbar panel to the top - sudo apt install plank - Add plank to startup applicationsThats it! And with a some tweaking and tuning you’ve got a elementaryOS-style dock also on Mint.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linuxmint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linuxmint</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/x11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#x11</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/smalltech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#smalltech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/elementaryOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elementaryOS</a>

Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:I feel like every few months I have to convince myself that I shouldn't make a Linux icon set. I know it would be too much work for me and take too long, but I feel it would be really fun at least for a while. I basically want to mash elementary and GNOME styles together, make my own color palette for them, and just steal the elementary cursor theme with basically no changes because it's so good.But I also would just be making it for me because I don't want to become a project maintainer and don't want to field a bunch of icon requests<a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/icons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#icons</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/elementaryos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elementaryOS</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GNOME</a>

Alexander Deplov 🇩🇪I tried <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ElementaryOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ElementaryOS</a>, and I really liked what I saw. The WM looks very polished, and the attention to detail is stunning. Compared to other Linux distributions, this one seems the most polished to me, and, for some reason, the closest to the macOS experience that we're about to lose with the Tahoe release.I also like how the Elementary team builds SVG icons. I've never seen that technique before. The semi-transparent borders around the layers look great when rendered by the system.
