Momentary focus of a random thought that peaked my attention
A week with Mint KDE 13 RC
Install was painless.
Audio did not work out of the box. Unistalled pulseaudio, and removed HDMI from output choices. All better!
Had a couple crazy bugs with Dolphin launching on logon for no reason??? Also on one reboot, had a bunch of stuff start on logon that would restart when closed, required me to go to a virtual console and restart KDM… Don’t know what caused this, thankfully it did not reproduce.
A few control panel options did not apply when closed and required manual editing… I don’t remember which ones they were.
It’s KDE, and it’s still resource intensive. This one seems to be very hungry. I’ve a fairly decent setup and although I could see higher resources being used, I generally could not see a significant slowdown. One thing I did notice that shouldn’t be was very high cpu cyles used on large file transfers. This load should be on the SATA bus, and I have no idea why this load was taxing the cpu.
This just removed this distro & it won’t be my alternative to GNOME3.
Currently I’m test driving Mint LMDE with xfce. From what I’ve seen so far I’m hoping I don’t get a ticket. Yes, it’s quick!
Something else to attack
OK, we’ve found the latest health risk of which the government must absolutely change the public’s mindset.
I would suggest the following to get the ball rolling:
1) Begin taxing sleep by the minute. Incrementally increase this per minute charge as people start sleeping less in order to keep this tax revenue stable.
2) Mandate that all chairs, sofas, and beds be plastered with extra large warning labels with slogans like “Doing nothing will kill you” while depicting some sloth covered with bedsores.
3) Demand Mayor Bloomberg ban all overstuffed recliners.
4) In order to indoctrinate our youth all bleachers in school gymnasiums should be removed.
What else can you come up with?

Mint KDE 13 RC released.
I haven’t used KDE for quite a while (years). Burning the image now, and going to take it for a spin to see how it’s shaping up.
Not real pleased with the current state of Gnome. MATE, a Gnome2 fork does pretty well. I hope it continues to, but I just have a gut feeling that it will be short-lived.
Did the floating gray bar/area top of the Google+ pages quit floating down the page or is it possibly one of my extensions now causing it to disappear when I scroll down? #IsItJustMe Discovered it when I went to click to scroll back to the top. EDIT: No, it’s not just me per comments below. Some it’s working for and some it’s not. 🙁 Can’t see the notifications when scrolling down as a result, either.
Been on my tablet for a few days so not sure when it even started.
