Re: Really Like Linux Mint Debian XFCE
Once it's set up properly, Mint Debian is the most stable Mint version IMO.
Mint Cinnamon 20.1
Re: Really Like Linux Mint Debian XFCE
I've recently been trying out LMDE Xfce. It's pretty good in most respects, but taken in the round not as good as Gnome for my purposes. For example, I like to use the keyboard instead of the mouse wherever possible, to launch applications and toggle features, which seems to be more difficult with Xfce. Moreover, remapping of keyboard keys, such as the Win key, appears to be impossible in Xfce. Also, Xfce makes a complete and uneditable mess of my carefully constructed start menu.
Re: Really Like Linux Mint Debian XFCE
When LMDE first came out it was the stock Gnome, nothing wrong with it , I like the XFCE interface a little better. But thats the great thing choice. I thought I saw somewhere they are going to do a KDE version on LMDE, I am not a huge fan of KDE, but I wonder how many people are waiting for that ? I really think that the Linux Mint Team have hit upon a great idea here with the LMDE version. I am excited to see what the future holds.

The "Win Key" is the "Super Key" and remapping it is just a matter of going to Applications>Settings>Keyboard: Application Shortcuts Tab. Then setting it for whatever you need in Xfce.Brian49 wrote:I've recently been trying out LMDE Xfce. It's pretty good in most respects, but taken in the round not as good as Gnome for my purposes.

Re: Really Like Linux Mint Debian XFCE
I looked hard for something like that in the keyboard settings, but didn't find it. The reason may be that I didn't do a fresh install of LMDE Xfce, but installed the recommended Xfce components via Synaptic alongside my existing Gnome desktop, then logged out and switched to it.Beardedragon wrote:The "Win Key" is the "Super Key" and remapping it is just a matter of going to Applications>Settings>Keyboard: Application Shortcuts Tab.

The most stable version of Mint there ever was, or ever will be, is #10.tdockery97 wrote:Once it's set up properly, Mint Debian is the most stable Mint version IMO.
If you want to ride the coattail of Debian Pure, the easiest and most stable is SalineOS.
OH ! IMO
Re: Really Like Linux Mint Debian XFCE
If it is not in there, check in Synaptic, search "xfce4" looking for xfce4-settings and perhaps xfce4-goodies. After install check menu again.Brian49 wrote:I looked hard for something like that in the keyboard settings, but didn't find it.
