Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

For those of you who aren't aware, these are the 'concept' desktop backgrounds for the already-under-development Windows 12, from a designer called "AddyVisuals".

https://www.windowslatestnews.com/windo ... allpapers/

Normally I like dark background stuff.....but the 'dark' variant of this doesn't look right, somehow. To me, it just looks drab.

Despite that, the 'light' variant just 'spoke' to me......with beguiling, come-hither tones. I like this type of focused, show-cased "abstract" stuff. Always have. So I 'Puppyfied' it. Yeah!

Mike.

(EDIT:- May need to modify it a wee bit by just dialling-down the saturation a smidgeon. That purple's a little bit "in yer face" for my liking. Subtle IS, after all, my middle name..! )

KLA-OT2 Arch

Trying to rescue this old netbook. It doesn't have enough RAM for pfix=copy and a browser, maybe I'll buy a 2 GB stick of RAM. Applications take 1-5 seconds to start but work OK-ish, RAM consumption is pretty low (~130 MB with pfix=ram) but colors are distorted under Wayland (the screenshot looks OK on other computers, probably a rendering issue on this laptop). Firefox works a bit better and everything feels smoother under Wayland, so I hope to get Wayland working nicely and utilize the GPU as much as possible on this single-core CPU.

Still haven't customized anything but I don't expect a multi-tasking beast

@dimkr, two weeks ago I tried a similar experiment with Vanilla Dpup 10 32bit, Atom N450 2GB RAM, default boot stanza. It ran OKish, I only tested ff and lxterminal together. Browsing pages was OK, snappier than I expected. Youtube was really bad but at least ff didn't crash. I wasn't expecting anything better from such an under-powered machine. Vanilla was a pleasant surprise overall. Thanks.

@Sofiya That is a really good looking setup. Looks like KLA is really coming along now nicely.

@rockedge, sorry everyone for asking OT - is that TOTALCMD running in Wine on your desktop? Which TC and Wine versions? Do you find it useful in Linux? Did you configure it in a special way for Linux? Thanks

@step Yes it is Total Commander!! I have used it since Windows 3.1 or so. I began to use it because in MS-DOS writting programs and batch scripts I started using Norton's Commander and found the 2 pane file manager invaluable. Migrating over to Total Commander was a logical choice.

I always missed Total Commander in Linux or BSD. Midnight Commander is close and extremely valuable but I need to do a lot of Internet FTP work keeping several web sites operational, and I never fell for filezilla and stick to gftp or use Thunar or similar when in a pinch. Total Comnader and FTP work alone is reason to have it. Also on board is Photofiltre Studio X or the free version Photofiltre 7. Photofitre has batch image processing capabilities and is easier to use than GIMP or Photoshop for what I need an image editor for.

It works well in Linux except for the Network SAMBA type options. I think there is a way to adjust WINE to get the network tools to work but I could live without that feature since FTP works so well.

I am using WINE_5.11-portable64 Which works well in F96-CE. I made it available for download as WINE_5.11-portable64.tar.xz with a size of 288 mb

Nortons Commander the original 2 pane file manager in DOSBox-X running on F96-CE_1

This is FELIX a global file manager originally designed to find duplicate files to keep the ever larger disk drives trim. This program ran all sort routines in RAM so a 20 mb disk drive was the upper limit. But in 1993 when a friend and I wrote it for MS-DOS systems, 20 mb drives were a true luxury.

I've also been a user of Total Commander for years - on both windows and linux; BUT - for the last few years on linux I have been using Double Commander instead. Very, very similar to Total Commander (which it is based on), and a genuine linux product.

@mow9902 Yes I have Double Commander and xfe as well. Somehow I always go back to Total Commander out of brain muscle memory.

"Brain Muscle Memory" sounds like a psychedelic Rock album title.

My windomized puppy

Nilson, anímate a crear un puppy con esos efectos y lo compartes en formato ISO, llevo buscándolo desde los tiempo de lxpup 14.10 con compiz instalado.

Gracias anticipadas, amigo.

@nilsonmorales

Existen pets para añadir esos efectos de glass, cube y similares a su desktop en xenialpup xxl 7.5 x64??

Tengo XFCE instalado, pero no consigo esos efectos de ventana líquida y similares

My windomized puppy

Hola, no es compiz es FUSILLI y mi puppy es un híbrido de muchas partes la base es 32bit Xthar, el kernel es de kineticpup y las animaciones de las ventanas esta abandonado, lo quise probar en jammypup con xfce y en dpup buster pero no funciona los marcos de las ventanas tiran error gobject y gdk que no se como superar eso.
esto es muy viejo, lo compile en un puppy precise si mi memoria no me falla.

puedo pasarte el paquete pero no te recomiendo que instales, mejor descomprime y revisa que hay dentro, no quiero que se dañe tu sistema.

Translated by Google:

Muchas gracias, recibi paquete y lo instalé sin problema, más no funciona en mi OS (xenial ) pese a que tengo xfce intalado.

Si alguien puede adaptarlo para xenial x64 facilmente se agradecería, pero si produce difultad no es necesario.

Muchas gracias nuevamente.- Saludos.

If you are using xfce, I recomend you to increase the default size.- I don't know why, but the results are fantastic (use XFCE-UI-SETTINGS as in the included image, and FONT MANAGER as the included image too).

As I told you I don't there is no "logic" but when browsing and working it looks faster.....
