Window borders
by Darrell Anderson 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Is there a way to not have borders around windows? Or at least the side vertical borders? I am using TDE Classic Style. When I am reading an online article in a web browser, often I "fling" the mouse pointer to the left edge of the screen to keep the pointer out of the way of reading text. I use the mouse scroll wheel to move down the page. With TDE I can't do that because when the pointer hovers over that left edge window border the effect is to kill scrolling. I have to continually bump the mouse pointer to the right to get off the border. I do not experience this in other desktop environments. Memory muscle and habits are difficult to change. So I am thinking this is a property of twin. Thanks. DA

Is Bluetooth free?
by lee892533＠gmail.com 09 Jan '25

Yes, the songs are transmitted to your headphones, but that's over a paired Bluetooth connection between the headphone and the phone. And there's no cost to that. You only pay for the data transmitted to your smart device over the phone company's network by way of using the app. https://spacebarcounter.org

Tofu boxes appearing in some applications - Q4OS
by padota1663＠mail.com 24 Dec '24

24 Dec '24

Hi everyone, I'm on Q4OS (Debian-based) with Trinity Desktop, and as per title, I have a weird issue since I started using Q4OS back in May, and I still haven't been able to solve it: in some (not all) applications, instead of some kind of characters (more specifically, emojis and italics) tofu boxes appear, and I already installed fonts-noto with all its dependencies. I opened this thread in the Q4OS Support Forum: https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=27828#p27828 and they told me it's a Trinity related bug, as it also happens on a pure Debian fresh install with TDE. How can it be solved? TIA

Thanks, and a question
by dep 19 Dec '24

19 Dec '24

First, thanks everybody for seeing me through the boot crisis. It does seem to have been the bios settings. Boots reliably now. As to the unattended shutdown, still don't know. It hasn't happened since. We'll see. Second, I've been fiddling with keyboards -- almost got a *new* Model F, but got and am happy with the improved Unicomp Mini Model F. (Details here for anyone who is interested: https://ofb.biz/safari/article/1272.html ) It has Windows keys -- the nice people at Unicomp are sending me blank replacements. I thought that TDE had a native keyboard remapper. I see that Grome does, in their little trick utilities package. There's also something called "Input Remapper." But I'd just as soon remain consistent if possible. The KControl keyboard setting seems to offer only whether the numlock is on. So, is there a TDE keyboard mapping utility? If not, anyone have any experience with something else? (Not counting the commandline. I like it, but not in this case.) Thanks! -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/

Recommendation for a distro
by Steven D'Aprano 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

My regular desktop died, and I have to purchase a new one. I will be getting an ASUS Mini PC PN41, which is a rebranded Intel NUC: - Intel Celeron N4500 - 4GB RAM - 128GB SSD Which distro should I use in order to install TDE? Requirements: - Keep it simple. I can use commandline tools but prefer not to have to. - I would prefer to avoid systemd based systems. My experience with systemd is that it really struggles to perform on low-powered fanless mini PCs like the Intel NUC boxes. Looking at the list here https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Category:Documentation#Installing_from_a_Pa… I *think* that Devuan is the only officially supported distro that is systemd-less. Is this correct? Would anyone like to comment or make any other suggestions, before I go ahead with a Devuan install? Thanks in advance, Steve
