Introducing the all-new Debian 12 ESDE (Enhanced Security Desktop Edition) Plasma UI pre-alpha v0.2.1: a Debian desktop setup created for a fiction organization's low-end office computers. It features simplified KDE apps, no blur, generally lightweight system settings (some features are disabled or tuned for higher performance and security) and a custom auto-hide floating panel (on the right) with a large clock and a system monitor overview. Security features are planned and are not added yet. For now the main issue is that it's quite difficult to use scroll bars on full-screen windows because the panel opens every time the mouse cursor touches the right edge of the screen. Would love a solution for this. And it often crashes in certain scenarios so yea it's just a pre-alpha now. Oh and the specs:

Distribution: Debian 12 DE/WM: KDE Plasma 5.27 Theme: Breeze Dark Icons: Papirus (it would be more realistic to use the stock icons but I just hate how folders look there so custom icon pack it is) Apps: Konsole, Dolphin (Qt apps) and Firefox (GTK 3 app)

The Debian logo on the top left just opens a slightly tuned KDE's Application Menu so I didn't show that. Everything else isn't really ready yet. Well, could you expect more from a bad setup?

P.S. The actual purposes of this post are to show the flexibility of KDE and deleted

I mean, I see no issue here other than the conky being in the foreground.

There is no conky. It's a Plasma panel with the width of 280 which appears only if you touch the right edge with the mouse cursor. It's meant to be in the foreground so you can summon it on any screen. And it allowes making the clock bigger too

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ah, I see. In that case, the setup looks great!

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

That's only until you try to scroll a full-screen app. Not a good experience at all

As long as you can download flatpak I see no reason why this wouldn't become the best option for normal people besides immutable rolling distros.

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Drivers for newer hardware and some other system features are a big deal in these distros. For example, Debian 12 has Plasma 5 and not the best Wayland support because of it. Performance and security also suffer from old packages

You should edit out the racism from your title.

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

#NotesForDownvoters I had the word "rices" instead of "setups" in the title before so stop downvoting these replies

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Once I heard there's something racist about the word "rice" but I really don't know what it is and people seem to understand what the word means here so yea. But if it's really bad, I can change that. I didn't mean anything racist

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

I really don’t know what it is

If you want to know you can start with this wikipedia article and then find lots of other discussion of it around the web.

I can change that

please do.

There's a pinned post at the top of this very comm talking about exactly this issue: https://hexbear.net/post/403920?scrollToComments=false

Long story short, yes, it's a racist term with a racist history and should not be used. Please change it

Only for you

screenshot of !unixporn@lemmy.ml, viewed from iusearchlinux.fyi. There is no pinned post.

a screenshot of !unixporn@lemmy.ml, similar to the first one, but viewed from lemmy.ml. There is also no pinned post.

another screenshot of !unixporn@lemmy.ml, this time viewed from hexbear.net. Unlike the other screenshots, this one has a pinned post, that being the one Are_Euclidding_Me linked.

That post was pinned here for a while; I guess federation with hexbear was probably broken at the time it got unpinned (six months ago).

I just pinned and unpinned it again so that now it is unpinned on hexbear too. (i think having the "no racist terms" rule in the sidebar here is adequate.)
