Seems that I had been out of the DE world for such a long time that I forgot how pleasing mild eye-candy can be. This evening I tried #picom again, after not using it for a long, long time since my LXDE days[1].

I'm quite pleased with how it bonds with #Fluxbox now, maybe it's time to rice again? :)

Tell you what... #MXLinux #fluxbox is damn gorgeous.

32 bit never looked so good. Huge congrats to the MX team for making something that looks and feels this polished while still being light and minimal.

It's exactly what a simple system should look like IMHO

Dug out the DevTerm to update it and print some hard copy.

Hi #Linux,

What do you primarily use for interacting with your systems?

Feel free to boost!

TIL about fedi.video, I will read first but I never knew I needed it ;)

KDEConnect is a powerful piece of connection software. Even when you only bounce off the Android client with your Androids (plural) you will enjoy the program. I can see that a of lot coding time (not difficult for a seasoned programmer) and debugging effort (can be tedious if you have no alpha / beta testers) has been put into the code.

KDE Connect celebrated 10 years in 2023, now its 12, so quite mature for software. Esp opensource.

Problems connecting Linux (or any other) often mean that your distro maintainer did something unexpected (IMHO stupid) by enabling an fw pointing to your LAN (sick!) with all incoming ports blocked.

- Blocked ports on LANs DONT enhance security, and give flase sense of superiour security.
- Not stating that explicitly on the installer of the fw (default base install!) means searching to and fro, since the fw pointing local, will be checked rudimentary to last, wasting brain cycles

The moment fw errors have been terminated (T2) your desktop client will work without a hitch, doing handshaking and later functions, which you enable one by one.

Android client has accross the board an unfightable problem which is powermgmt regardless of flags put for 24/7 background operation. Esp cheap Xiaomis have that. The ones of EUR 175 (USD same) to EUR 1200, have less of that esp the near and full flagships.
It's unfightable untill you remove Android OS and replace with a flash on your phone.

Im having fun with Android client

Its now on schedule too. The page is also bookmarked. I usually hunt and dig in
```
man kdeconnect
```
then use the fixes in there

Thank you.

Correct the desktop client does not see any of the Androids running KDE Connect
