Douglas Paul
Douglas does his own 12 step distro hop program.
Gnome, Fedora, with Extensions and Albert is the landing spot... at least for now.
Bruce Hankins on Why Don't You Use Linux (4:11)
Two categories of users, average users and power users.
Average users don't really tinker.
Power users like to tinker (this is where Leo and Dan fall as well as many of you) but there is a small amount of us.
Installation of the system and applications is not intuitive.
Jayden on Why Don't You Use Linux (4:11) AAAAAAND a Note Suggestion
Gnome with gestures and multi-touch are great.
A couple of note taking apps for Leo to chase - Xournal++ and Rnote

The LUS Lemmy instance got an update.
The ansible repo switched to tagged releases. There were ⚠️breaking changes⚠️ that needed to be prepared for.
One of the issues Dan had is likely fixed now.
The Bug that's old enough to drink and drive, but hopefully not at the same time!
Dan installed Firefox from the .tar.gz download.
Spoiler - it updates just fine because my user is the owner in the /opt directory.

The History of The Common Desktop Environment (CDE)
The Andrew Project
W was a windowing system that was originally written for the V operating system.
In 1984, Robert Scheifler wrote.
X is our “reaction” to W
Ultrix Window Manager, or uwm
Tom's Window Manager, which eventually became Tab Window Manager, or twm
Open Look Specification
The OSF narrows the search for a User Interface.
HP and Microsoft's CXI and DEC's XUI to create the HP OSF/Motif Window Manager.
Sun went on to build OpenWindows, which was X with OPEN LOOK on top to replace SunView.
COSE
In 1994, The OSF and Unix International, a body meant to standardize UNIX, merged, and in 96, merged again with X/Open into The Open Group.
Motif and CDE became one
KDE enters the scene.
May of 2000 when Motif was released as OpenMotif.
LessTif, because Less is Mo, published an initial statement
August 6th, 2012, CDE was relicensed under the LGPL and was available on SourceForge, where it still lives today.
After opening it up, 2.2.1 was released on March 1st, 2014.
The final release, at least as of this recording, 2.5.1, dropped in October of 2022.
