Installing Gecko Linux Rolling Budgie on my laptop.
I'm thinking about moving off of that today
It's good, but not perfect. I'm looking for "just the right" desktop for me.Also funny enough, my actual gecko ran in front of my Gecko desktop a few minutes ago.
What would be considered perfect for you?
I really like Korora, but it has memory issues, especially with Firefox and is lagging way behind Fedora. Mint is pretty nice, but slow to release and based on Ubuntu LTS. Neither is a big deal, but not ideal, either. I'm going to give straight Fedora 26 a try, see what that does for me.
I really like Korora also, but the Firefox issues are annoying as hell, and not a word about updating to 26 yet is also a waste.
When I get spare time, I will probably wipe and go straight Fedora 26 and then add the Cinnamon desktop.
Fedora 26 has a Cinnamon install.

Why they've not mentioned Korora 16 at all since May is odd. I looked this morning to see if the latest release was around the corner and the total silence on that point is what is leading me to look at other options. I had been hoping to try going back to Korora to see if the FF issue was fixed.
Why don't you use Chrome instead? I've found it works best on Fedora based distros anyways.

Are you logged in using Wayland or Xorg? I feel that it makes a difference when using Chrome or Firefox.

I use both, constantly.

Chrome can just go piss up a rope.
The last straw for me on that was talking away my ability to easily see SSL certificate information.
Fuck them.

Both. But even when I give it more thought, I still find Chrome runs way better on both. (fedora based)

Thankfully, because I keep all of my files on GIT and NextCloud, moving between desktops is trivial.
My desktop is not fully like that yet. But for my laptop, I can nuke it at will. I think I will do it this weekend at some point.
I need to get my desktop stabilized so that I can do this because I want to redo it and setup a dual boot so I can at least have the option of gaming.

Come to our side and use Gnome 3

Scott: "I'll take underwater basket weaving before CS."
I am looking for a place that teaches this. I will get that degree. Then I am going to see if Scott will hire me.
Edit: Here's an actual course (not satire).

I would say workshop and not a course. It's a satire based on the common saying disparaging liberal arts.

I used to live by Rutgers and knew that they had it there
We have a Rutgers grad in the community and someone that works there, too.

Trying out my new socks the kids brought home for me from Japan.

Uploading videos. My dad is going to be pretty busy this weekend.

I'm getting reports from people that this site (Dominica's new web design business) is getting a "too many redirects" error. But I'm not seeing it here. Not on FF, not on Chrome, not on Safari on iOS, not on different computers... I can't recreate the problem. Anyone see it?
-
@scottalanmiller It's working here. Ubuntu Chrome.
-
Oh, I just tried it on Windows 10, with Chrome, and it happened for a second, but immediately loaded. Had to watch quickly to see it.
-
No issue with Edge on Windows 10.
-
No issues here on FF or Chrome. Win10
