    Hello

    I've not really done one of these sorts of posts in a while.

    Been working on Talisman a bit, and playing the elder scrolls online.
    Been a bit stressed, with mothers day coming up and then shortly after
    what would have been (or still is I suppose) our girls' first birthday.

    Not sure what to do, but I need to do something.

    Got new glasses a couple of weeks ago, and found out I have kerateconis
    (sp?) in one eye, possibly both, so will need to see a specialist for
    that and possibly get a procedure done to strengthen the cornia.

    Our oven broke last night, I think it's the thermostat, as it just gets
    very hot, not the right temperature to cook, and stuff burns on the
    outside not cooked on the inside.

    So someone's got to come look at that.

    Also discovered a new (ish - as in newer than 90s lol) band called
    Gojira, which I've been enjoying listening to.

    Am currently in Fedora 34-beta, I installed it the other day on a spare
    hard drive so I have dual boot. Windows needed to reboot and I forgot and
    left it, and so it booted into fedora. It's nice, gnome 40 is definatly
    better than gnome 3.xx.

    Nearly dinner time.

    Bye
    Andrew

    Wow, that's quite the jump in version numbers. What about it makes it so much better in your view?

    Take care apam, it's great the see all the neat stuff you are doing.

    They just dropped of the 3. from the version number I think.

    I wouldn't say it's so much better, but it just feels more usable. Still
    not as usable as xfce or something like that, but more usable than 3.xx

    Ah, that makes sense. I'll have to check it out, been using xfce out of habit for a long time, gnome and kde both felt sluggish in comparison to me

    I tried a Debian 11 live image with the newest XFCE and was disappointed about the GUI inconsistencies. Old XFCE style combined with the weird Gnome 3 file dialog.

    Agreed. I don't like this leaking of Gnome 3 elements into XFCE. Gnome
    ignores the Window manager look and it really, really bothers me.
    Mostly because I strongly dislike Gnome's whole aesthetic.

    I personally prefer the Cinnamon Desktop Environment and I must say that the Nemo File Browser is literally the BEST file browser I have ever used in my life, and I've used A LOT of file browsers!
