There might be a nasty but with the latest tromjaro ISO that wont let you install it.... :/ . I am creating a new ISO now but can only check it tomorrow probably...ported some bad configs to calamares....sorry....at least that's what I think it is... #tromlive
tested the latest tromjaro iso on my tabled and works....so idk.... @aaron could not install on his computer.....will look more into this tomorrow
A new TROMjaro ISO is out with some great changes/improvements. The post is huge - https://forum.tromjaro.com/t/tromjaro-2022-01-17/58/1 . New and more modern theme, new Layout Switch with 5 layouts and a fix for the stupid libadwaita. Plus @Future is FOSS made our terminal super duper cool. Tomorrow I won't be home most of the day so I hope all of the release notes are ok, but I doubt....I had way too many things to keep an eye on and take notes about..
Also I changed the TROMjaro.com homepage a bit to reflect the new changes - https://www.tromjaro.com/
And the entire website's colors....was difficult. To reflect the new theme because our website and OS are having the same design.
Lots of work today :D. Ok. I love TROMjaro. Bye. #tromlive

I was unable to work on TROM II for the past weeks since Kdenlive doesn't work well anymore. But I work with the developers to find a fix. The project is too big...I will wait a few more days then I will have to see how to get back to it. Maybe I will split the project.
But I did a lot of work for TROMjaro. We will ship the next ISO with a bran new theme. More modern and sleek. And much better adapted for XFCE. Plus we will ship with 4 layouts:
And a graphical layout switcher so you can easily choose between them.
We will also push a fix for the stupidity of libadwaita. We will force the apps that use this library and break the system's consistency, to still use the system's theme. Thanks to @Future is FOSS !
Plus a few other changes. Maybe we will release a new ISO in a few days. I will have to edit the homepage of tromjaro.com to reflect the changes.

If you have a wide screen, then rotating it 90° would give you a vertical screen. So they're equally narrow, just in different ways. Now I can't stop myself imagining a square screen, lol 😂

Can't say I agree with this 100%, but certainly some provoking and poignant thoughts here. 👍

So much this. I often say it, or something similar, and it deserves frequent repetition.
I'll add that it's not just that scarcity doesn't belong, it's irrelevant. It simply does not exist when a resource can be infinitely or near infinitely replicated.

I am stuck I can't work on TROM II because Kdenlive refuses to open my project. Waited for more than 10 hours...I will wait more. The Kdenlive team said they improved that and the way to test is to open my massive project with their latest appimage nightly build, then save the project and open again. But 10h in and still doesn't open...I will wait until tomorrow...what can I do!? #tromlive

Trying https://www.manyver.se - a neat scuttlebutt client! This is the proper way to go when it comes to connecting people. No servers, peer to peer. Still kinda experimental but that's one social network I am comfortable using 100%. It is me in control all the time. It is the next evolution form the Fediverse. Maybe they could even make the two communicate idk :D. Also, so awesome that in TROMjaro all I have to do to install is search for it in Add/Remove software. And that's how I also get updates...so easy. And people think Linux is difficult or you have to use the terminal. mnot...

I personally didnt test this much at all. I tested Scuttlebutt in the past with another client and it was ok - promising.

But now the idiots are mining a currency with these computers. How telling of our trade-based society. Instead of doing something real and useful in this world, we are tricked by the currency which should, in theory, bring us the valuable things. But it does not. Humans chase the spear that allowed them to hunt and thrive, and collect spears now but don't do anything useful with them. We have more than enough food and stuff to provide for us all. No need for spears or currencies.

We are releasing a new experimental feature for VideoNeat.com - The True Smart TV https://www.videoneat.com/tv/ - Designed to make people smart, not to collect their data or steal their attention.
All of the VideoNeat library condensed into a single thing. Enjoy growing a human mind, so we can prosper as a human species and move beyond this primitive trade-based society.
Here's the TROMjaro layout toggle we re working on:
Basically you'll be able to switch between the TROMjaro Modern with global menus and looking more like Unity, to TROMjaro Classic - without global menus and looking more like Windows.
With just one click. We can, in time, make several such layouts based on the same principle. We can even make it so that with one single click you transform your desktop into MacOS with themes and icons and all that. Not sure if it is worth it, but just saying that we can....

We work on some new cool things for TROMjaro like bringing back the Modern and Classic layouts and a way to switch between them in seconds. I really like TROMjaro and XFCE is really great. So customizable and yet not overwhelming. I took some break from TROM II these days but will get back to it very soon. #tromlive

Although I have to give up the TROMjaro Classic since it is too much work for me, the TROMjaro Modern (or the default one) will come with a proper APPS menu + WebApps integration, so anyone can make a webapp in seconds. Plus online integration with the menu so you can search for online videos, locations on the maps, download files, news, wikipedia, and so forth. All via our trom.tf services! #tromlive

I didnt think that 32GB of RAM + 36GB of swap, wont be enough for my needs.....but it seems I max them out pretty quickly. Kdenlive eats around 20GB of RAM....when I work on TROM II. Plus a lot of other stuff I am doing....interesting...is software getting too bloated for our needs? Wasn't I working on the first TROM documentary with 512MB of RAM? And also just doing computer stuff with that...We have better computers nowadays but is the software worse? Plus websites and all that? Interesting... #tromlive

If its as old as XFCE and is only adding recursive search now, that's a little hard to believe. I wonder why didn't anyone requested this feature earlier, this seem like a basic thing for a file manager.
Yeah idk....they used another program (catfish) for the job and maybe they thought that's enough...
