By doing a fresh install I was able to fix some issues I with Snaps/Snap-Store. Now I can snap away in the cli AND in the gui store with no issues **on #XFCE. (Previous install would not allow me to install straight from the Snap Store due to permission issues.)
Basically this lil guy is going to be my #Snap testing machine. #Snaps and repo only, no #Flatpaks on this guy 🤣
Okay, so I have the #XFCE side of things set up and working well. I am able to run #clementine and #kpatience at the same time with about 70% memory utilization on 1 gig. Snaps are working great.
#LXDE is installed. For the most part it is set up but for the life of me I cannot get #snaps to integrate/show up on the panel or in the menus. I was able to do it in the last install so this is perplexing.
If you know how to fix this Snaps/LXDE problem holler at yo boy.
I installed the #TrinityDE and I have to say it gives #LXDE so tight competition. At idle my ram use is lower than LXDE and when using native apps the ram use stays fairly low.
As for look, Trinity just looks better has more customization options, AND has #Snap integration.
I will post a screenshot once I am done tweaking things to my liking.
#SBC #MangoPiQuad #Debian
I may do some more tweaking in the future, but I am pretty happy with how things turned out on #TrinityDE.
So far it has been a pretty usable lil system. Web browsing is on par with old dial-up. Besides that, after an app opens they seem to be quite responsive/snappy.
Now I am glad I #borked my MangoPi Quad #SBC as I do not think I would have looked into the Trinity DE.
