Getting tired of maintaining instead of using my laptop … for work ! I mean I have a fixed configuration fvwm/urxvt/screen/Xressources/screen for years and every 1 or 2 month suddenly a "change" is breaking stuffs… like renaming font names, systemd etc… I grow tired of spending hours trying to fix it so I switched my work laptop on Debian testing. Installation went flawlessly, it's a bit long. but I took the opportunity to switch / and /var on btrfs. The only "issue" here is systemd, I guess I will have to deal with this ultimate useless shit after all... ====== Post install ====== ===== wifi realtek ===== I had to follow [[ https://wiki.debian.org/rtl819x|this]] tutorial to have the wifi working ===== Gnome Shell ===== I added/ enabled nice feature of the gnome shell: * Auto-move windows * Drop down terminal * Lock keys (as I often enable the stoopid caps lock key instead of typing "a") * Workspace indicator * Pomodoro ( does not install… no error message) * Dash to Dock * Open Weather * TopIcons Plus * Web Search Dialog ( does not install… no error message) * SystemMonitor ( does not install… no error message) * Netspeed * Sensors ( does not install… no error message) The installation process is a joke… when it fails to install well no message ! good work, who cares about logs anyway m( Reading [[http://askubuntu.com/questions/142054/why-does-installing-gnome-shell-extensions-from-extensions-gnome-org-fail-silent| this thread]] makes it even more m( … really I will add more following [[https://tlhp.cf/best-gnome-extensions/| The Best 35 GNOME Extensions Review ]] ====== TODO ====== ===== Skype ===== https://wiki.debian.org/skype ===== GDM cusromization ===== nice logo ===== Flash ===== Just follow [[https://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer|this wiki]]
