- rcarmo 10y agoOP here. It does not add anything that I wanted, and I had already ditched XFCE in favor of LXDE in the past. The point of the post was not to get Elementary running on a Chromebook, it was to see if I, coming from a Mac, could use it on a future desktop without issues and the usual ugly UIs Linux DEs have.
- mercurysmessage 10y agoGo to Reddit.com/r/unixporn, with some minor tweaking it's very easy to make Linux look nice.
- rcarmo 10y agoRiiiight. I don't want to spend hours tweaking my desktop. It's hard enough to pick a decent wallpaper, and since I've been using X desktops since the SunOS era, believe me when I tell you that I have no interest in wrestling with multiple X toolkits to achieve the kiddie look of the day...
- mercurysmessage 10y agoMy experience tweaking my Linux desktop didn't take nearly that long. It depends I suppose on how in detail you want to get, but a much nicer look than the standard is fairly easy to achieve.
- r3bl 10y agoMinor tweaking? /r/unixporn crowd is always interested in posts that customize their Linux setups to the max: use Window Managers almost exclusively, have a unified color scheme all over the system etc. That's not minor tweaking.
- Elvewyn 10y agoThere are plenty of posts for DE's and I think there's filters in the sidebar for whatever you might be looking for.
- mercurysmessage 10y agoI did one that took me probably 30 minutes and it looked nice in Manjaro. Those are just nice Environments, don't have to go all the way.
- ant6n 10y agoIt supports none of the arm Chromebooks.
