GNOME 44.0

This is my new desktop, the DE runs on Slackware Current

Dont worry I still run Plasma5 but I am really starting to enjoy building Gnome for Slackware Current

A while ago I downloaded the "Mixed Theme Package" for FVWM from http://www.vakuumverpackt.de/fvwm/, but didn't bother to read the Install instructions properly...
Today I took another look and followed the instructions more carefully. Voila - nice version of FVWM with a packet of alternate themes each of which has attractive transparent menus which are quite easily customizable (from text files, syntax self-explanatory). The screenshot shows "air2" theme, but others are also decent, especially "wheat" imho.

Here's my XFCE desktop since almost a year ago; for power users I recommend XFCE and against KDE, because if I start 20 (including certain resource-intensive) programs at once it immediately permanently halts KDE, but XFCE is fast for them. I have a main 4K monitor, and a 1600x1200 above on KVM switch also for classic P3/686, and a Wacom drawing pad/LCD on the right.

The board is in vivid development struggling to reach full multimedia support.

It is fast.

Nice!, SCerovec. 2 more cores than my Rockpro64 should indeed be pretty snappy. Mine is mainly employed as a NAS but I've tried numerous systems, including Slarm, but mainly run DrMoses Aarch64-Slackware now with Plasma and Enlightnement. Enlightenment is really fast even though it has rather glorious graphics. I think I posted a snapshot here, IIRC.

Now that You mention it i need to re-check aarch64 of official Slackware-current again!

Just FTR Aarch64Slackware runs Plasma nicely out of the box. It's plenty fast for NAS work. Enlightenment had to be installed afterward and IIRC from a Slackbuild with only having to specify Aarch64 in the build script as is noted on the ARM-Slackware sub section here. I think the exact syntax was noted by mralk3 a few times.

Likewise FTR the Rock 5 is a far cry from being included in official aarc64 Slackware ecosystem - I'm just reading thru just how much is left to be done yet.

SCerovec · 04-20-2023, 03:21 PM

Got conky to build (and work) on rock 5

enorbet · 04-20-2023, 04:11 PM

Proper job, SCerovec. Conky compiled and works fine on my Rockpro64 with AArch-Slackware64, too. Now if I could just get Cockpit or something like it to give me a nice GUI NAS configurator... that would be slick.

kjhambrick · 04-20-2023, 04:15 PM

Nice SCerovec !

I've been watching the Rock 5B for a few mos.

I'll keep watching !

Is Cockpit portable to non-RHEL Systems ?

That *_WOULD_* be nice to have
