| Parting1990 | Hello, | 10:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Parting1990 | Is there any development happening on XFCE? is it quite slow? what language is used? | 10:37 |
| brainwash | Parting1990: yes. yes. C. | 10:38 |
| brainwash | Parting1990: I recommend checking out https://blog.xfce.org/ | 10:39 |
| brainwash | roadmap for Xfce 4.14 https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.14/roadmap | 10:40 |
| Parting1990 | brainwash: ah damn "C" I know python, was hoping I could start contributing | 10:48 |
| Parting1990 | brainwash: thank you, and the community? helpful / friendly? | 10:49 |
| brainwash | helpful and friendly | 10:50 |
| brainwash | you could take a look at catfish which is now part of the Xfce project | 10:51 |
| brainwash | https://docs.xfce.org/apps/catfish/introduction | 10:51 |
| brainwash | "Powered by Python and GTK, it is fast, flexible, and exceptional at finding files." | 10:51 |
| brainwash | also, xfce4 panel profiles | 10:53 |
| brainwash | https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-panel-profiles/about/ | 10:53 |
| Parting1990 | awesome, I will be looking into moving to XFCE, trying very hard to find a good community, I like Gnome / Elementary. but want to contribute, and think XFCE has best potentional | 10:57 |
| Parting1990 | Last, is Xubunthu the recommended platform for XFCE? | 10:57 |
| gnrp | Parting1990: I doubt xubuntu would recommend a particular platform | 11:00 |
| gnrp | if you want xubuntu or whatever depends on your personal preferences | 11:00 |
| Parting1990 | gnrp: so in terms of best experience, it doesn't really matter, which is the most vanilla ? | 11:02 |
| brainwash | Parting1990: xubuntu has a customized Xfce session (theme, panel configuration, settings here and there) | 11:07 |
| brainwash | it also tries to ship with latest Xfce component versions | 11:08 |
| brainwash | Xubuntu 18.10 has mostly 4.13 components | 11:09 |
| brainwash | 4.13 being the dev branch of Xfce | 11:09 |
| Parting1990 | brainwash: okay so think best optionwould be xubunthu, think I will give 18.04 or 18.10 a shot, need to see if I really need 18.10 first | 11:14 |
| Parting1990 | as I come from Fedora | 11:14 |
| brainwash | Fedora has a Xfce spin, doesn't it? | 11:14 |
| Parting1990 | It does but to me its really kitted for Gnome | 11:15 |
| brainwash | you can customize the Xfce session though | 11:16 |
| brainwash | to your liking | 11:16 |
| Parting1990 | True, but because its a spin, I just have feeling like it wont be a true experience. | 11:20 |
| brainwash | xubuntu is a "spin" or flavor of ubuntu | 11:20 |
| brainwash | I don't know what you mean with "true experience" | 11:21 |
| Parting1990 | so XFCE doesnt have a flagship/preferred distro? | 11:22 |
| brainwash | not really. one could argue that Xubuntu is that, because it is widely known. | 11:23 |
| brainwash | two core Xfce devs are part of the Xubuntu team also | 11:23 |
| ondondil | Xubuntu has much better defaults. | 11:24 |
| ondondil | Default settings matter. People are lazy | 11:24 |
| Parting1990 | brainwash: perfect thats good enough for me :) excited for this adventure, My home server pc has Xubunthu on it, restarted twice in 2 years. solid | 11:25 |
| Parting1990 | I want to bring Wingpanel to XFCE ;) | 11:25 |
| brainwash | maybe you can mimic the functionality with xfce4-panel already | 11:27 |
| Parting1990 | brainwash: yeah exactly :) | 11:28 |
| Parting1990 | okay, thanks everybody, this has been exactly what I've been looking for in Linux to start helping on a project, I will go do research and migrate to Xubunthu, then ill be joining one of the Dev Teams, good ay for me to end 2018 | 11:29 |
| brainwash | awesome | 11:30 |
| xubuntu23d | hola, alguien español ? | 21:21 |
