Here is a link to an .ova Virtualbox Appliance that is an Arch Linux installation created by Arch-Anywhere that has the following desktops installed: Budgie Cinnamon LXDE Mate Openbox
(The menu says there's gnome options but they dont work, I didn't install gnome. I tried to install the Arch-Anywere custom XFCE, but it didn't install for some reason, maybe I need to select XFCE from the menu too. The install was fairly quick an painless, although it should be noted that the Arch Anywhere installer crashes if you select the Arch Anywhere Repository from the Additional Software menu; it says its already in the database but doesn't install. IT also crashed if you selected (one of, probably the later) gnome group and/or gtk3(Experimental). Everything is already installed here so don't worry about it unless you're trying to replicate this) It uses Lightdm for the Display Manger, and you can select the Desktop Enviroment by clicking on the little icon on the top right of the screen, on the left side of the little line of icons. The username is dude the password is AbitaAbider22@ the root password is dugPLUGwhatalug! If you're paranoid I got sneaky and hid some evil stuff in there, disable the networking through Virtualbox, but I don't have the time or desire to do so, and besides, I imagine this is the wrong list to mess with... The custom Arch Anywhere OpenBox is very Haxxor... I actually kinda like it, but Htop says its not quite as fast as LXDE Budgie used the most memory, followed by Cinnamon (which said it would be faster if it wasn't running in frame buffer due to video drivers), followed by Mate, then, OpenBox, the LXDE Mate (246M) felt the most familiar, due to past gnome2 use. LXDE (162M) was lightning fast and it looked good, and I might be able to get used to that l33t Arch Anywhere OpenBox(174M)... I'm not sure if it's fair to just logout and start a new desktop environment, but thats what I did, and the results seemed consistent... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Mw4QXQzulid1BsWEVfbFVieHc/view?usp=sharing On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 7:42 PM, Chuck Hast <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 7:16 PM, Nat Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I do like it > > when there's that mac-like icon dock (conky? docker? i forget), which I > > have seen on both distros. > > On Mon, Apr 3, 2017 at 6:26 PM, Rich Shepard <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > > Is this what you are thinking about: > http://glx-dock.org/ > It is what I run (it is called Cairo Dock) but it does all of that Mac > stuff too.
