 cris_p | I think it was OpenMotif what gave me trouble. | 19:07:18 |

A Slackware person should take over this page.

 Orange Bomb | Are there plans to merge MATE into the master branch like Plasma 5 was? | 20:51:55 |
| cris_p | Hopefully. | 21:28:05 |
| cris_p | Still find it hard to believe that Slackware is the only distro that can make KDE work on my machine, hard to choose CDE over this. | 21:29:01 |
| cris_p | XFCE somehow ran worse, and it didn't have any archiving tools, making SlackBuilds a real hassle. | 21:29:43 |
| Orange Bomb | Xfce's been on a downward performance trend, I hear. | 22:51:19 |
| Orange Bomb | For a time, it was benchmarking worse than Plasma 5. | 22:51:33 |
 Hunter | Using CDE today? Amazing. I find desktop environments from before the GNOME 3 / Plasma era much better | 22:55:31 |

For a time, it was benchmarking worse than Plasma 5. Wow. | 23:01:02 |
| Orange Bomb | Stable's 4.12 is still pretty tight, but it's also still based on GTK 2. | 23:01:49 |

Are there plans to merge MATE into the master branch like Plasma 5 was? Have you already installed MATE on your system? | 03:33:22 |
| Orange Bomb | No, but I know that LiveSlak offers it as an environment choice. | 04:15:01 |
| Orange Bomb | * No, but I know that LiveSlak offers it as an environment choice. | 04:15:17 |

No, but I know that LiveSlak offers it as an environment choice. I guess you haven't seen this here: https://github.com/mateslackbuilds/msb
You could give it a try. | 04:24:47 |

Stable's 4.12 is still pretty tight, but it's also still based on GTK 2. gtk3 is a regression | 09:26:01 |
| Orange Bomb | Sure feels like it. | 09:26:11 |
| rbn | wasn't gtk3 the thing which suddenly decided that the window managers window decorations are a thing of the past and not to be used anymore? | 09:28:16 |
| rbn | i remember something like having to fumble in a config to get them back | 09:29:03 |
| Orange Bomb | GTK3 has been very insistent on client-side decorations. | 09:29:44 |
| Orange Bomb | Because they think it's the responsibility of every program to write its own decorations. | 09:30:25 |
| Orange Bomb | If they weren't writing it on Macs with 16:9 panels, maybe the GNOME team would realize that. | 09:31:07 |
| rbn | :D | 10:19:06 |
| cris_p | Is slapt-get worth getting in current year? | 12:34:18 |
| Orange Bomb | Unless it does more than Slackpkg, I wouldn't bother. | 12:39:44 |
| drgibbon | more than slackpkg+ perhaps? | 13:23:22 |
| drgibbon | could be a decent metric :) | 13:23:38 |
