@scottalanmiller No kidding! I just installed KDE's Plasma. It seems to rock so far!
Plasma is pretty nice. I prefer Cinnamon, but both are very good. Gecko Linux does an exceptionally good job with the Plasma desktop.
-
I use XFCE sometimes, too. And Korora really makes a good XFCE experience. It doesn't feel like XFCE anywhere else.

@scottalanmiller Plasma seems to be handling scaling well.

Plasma is built on top of Qt which is more advanced compared to GTK. Gives it an edge.

Looks like people have had success with both Fedora and Mint on there.

@EddieJennings Well, I guess I'll have to come home then!
@scottalanmiller was showing it to me when I was over at his place. It looked really clean. -

This guy is definitely the new Curtis. He's been like this for a few weeks.

Hours and hours of him arguing about RAID 6 being safer than RAID 60. Then it turns out he doesn't even know what RAID 0 is.
-
@scottalanmiller Even I know what RAID 0 is: Stripe across X drives. If one drive fails, the RAID fails. Guy must be t3h n00b.
Edit: Span to stripe -- no, really, I understand

Stripe across, not span across. Span wouldn't give you extra speed.
-
@scottalanmiller Yep. Right after hitting submit I saw span instead of stripe. Then I heard the ML ding before I could click edit. <troll fail>

Yeah, it turns out that the OP was actually asking if one drive in RAID 0 failing caused the array to fail. He just asked it in a really convoluted way of asking about RAID 6 arrays and RAID 60. He added in all this useless detail and didn't state the actual question or not well enough to make it obvious. So the whole thread was just meant to ask if one drive in RAID 0 failed, would the whole thing fail.
But then this Alex character got in there arguing about how RAID 60 was dangerous because it took the safety of RAID 6 and made it worse, which is mathematically impossible given how it works. Which I showed and he responded by calling math a theory and that risk analysis were opinions.

I'm STILL explaining RAID 0.
-
Now people argue that large attack surfaces aren't actually a risk unless someone can "prove it", whatever that means.

I feel like SW is going downhill all in one morning.

@scottalanmiller I answered also a previous post of that one about upgrading Server 2012 R2 Standard ro Hyperv 2016....letting him know it was not possible without reinstalling after backup.

That Alex guy complains about me making a simple thread long - when 67% of the thread was caused by him. The entire length was him making ridiculous claims, arguing for no reason, making complaints about the thread, asking for clarification about the simplest things, etc. I flagged him twice for intentional derailment attempts. He actually made 26 posts happen just for him, and THEN posts that people shouldn't make threads so long and that all of the technical details were worthless.
