After doing some tests, I'd say the global menus + HUD + topbar window buttons work with around 70% of applications. Is that good? Not ideal! But the good part is that the apps that don't work with these are small apps that either don't need to be maximized or have a complex menu. The vast majority of them are like that. So we think about if we should maybe add some buttons/options for users to enable/disable the global menus + top bar window buttons + HUD.

I am also uploading a video I made about how TROMjaro XFCE works on a tablet. Probably will post it tomorrow. These days I am pretty sure we will get it to the Beta version and will add it as official on tromjaro.com. #tromlive

Our Invidious instance is simply not reliable - ytb.trom.tf/ . I am tired of trying to find a solution to be honest. And I reported the issue to everywhere I could report it, many many times. Could be an issue with the @YunoHost packaging according to the Invidious developers. "502 Bad Gateway nginx" that's the error and we could not figure what is causing it. We have added a warning a while ago to trom.tf about this, so is not like we are not aware of it. We want to provide trade-free services that are reliable, but invidious is not one of them. SearX misfires a few times too, but 99% is working. If anyone can help here's one of the issues I opened github.com/YunoHost-Apps/invid…

Unfortunately you have to trade your attention (ads) to listen to it (a bit ironical), but hey it is great that we can get to talk about these ideas with new minds. Thank you Joey for the invitation and for the good questions.

We are releasing TROMjaro XFCE Aplha 2 for testing, if anyone is interested.

We did a bunch of improvements for workspaces, global menus + maximized windows, backups, the default apps and how they work, sessions and more. If you think MacOS or Windows are cool, check out TROMjaro XFCE hehe :). And it is trade-free!

See our updates here tromjaro.com/tromjaro-xfce-alp…

You can grab the ISO from there. #tromlive

Here's TROMjaro XFCE with proper global menu that extend to to top bar + window buttons on the top bar, and HUD. All was so easy to setup.

I want TROMjaro to be both beautiful and functional! As someone who is obsessed with keeping things neat but also have them being efficient, I think global menus and top bar window integrations, plus HUD, are doing exactly that. I edit videos and photos and I want to take advantage of my screen as much as possible. And now I can. Window top bar makes no sense when it is maximized and you already have a top panel. Unity did it well. Fortunately I could replicate that on XFCE. And HUD I keep on telling everyone, is the most useful tool I came across so far.

Ok I need to go out a little I am getting too obsessed with XFCE hahaha. #tromlive

We are releasing a new and different TROMJaro and we need people to test it. We want to give up Gnome and move to XFCE. Read more about it here https://www.tromjaro.com/tromjaro-xfce-alpha/ where you can also find the test ISO.

Basically it looks similar to the TROMjaro Gnome, but should be much faster, well built, has global menus, HUD, and more awesome stuff. Please give it a try and tell us what you think! #tromlive

Tomorrow I am invited to a radio/podcast to talk about the trade-free idea. That's very cool! Someone discovered our trom.tf and is interested in this trade-free approach. The episode should be out in about a week.

On another note I made progress with our TROMjaro XFCE version. So far so amazingly great. I am more convinced that we will give up Gnome and move to XFCE. Old users should not be worried. We will provide support for the TROMjaro Gnome indefinitely :D. We plan to make an XFCE version that is very similar to the Gnome one, to the point of not even being able to tell them apart. But, ofc, will be much faster and probably stable. Plus global menus and HUD. And a second version that will look and behave quite the same but will have almost no apps preinstalled, or some very light versions of those apps.

@Xantulon , @Future is FOSS and @Alexio are helping with these. Wonderful people! #tromlive

Here's the new TROMjaro XFCE I work on, with global menus and HUD:

How awesome! And is so easy to make it work. Tested the global menus for many apps, all work. Will test HUD more and try to style it to blend with the theme we use. It is 10 times easier to create an ISO with XFCE than with Gnome, and on Gnome I could never properly add global menus or HUD. It was always a hacking thing and never really worked.

I am blown away by XFCE! I plan to release 2 ISOs with TROMjaro XFCE for anyone to test, soonish. One is a default TROMjaro with all of the goodies installed and setup, and one is super minimal for older computers and such. Stay tuned! #tromlive

I got so trapped with this XFCE thing haha....I need to take a break. So far it looks really great and maybe we will only release TROMjaro XFCE instead of Gnome. But this will be a months long process and a slow transition. I need to get out a bit haha. I lived in the computer almost exclusively for the past 3 days. Tomorrow, late at night, we will have a very interesting tromcast with @Cleo of Topless Topics - 23:30 madrid time. Here videos.trom.tf/w/ueH6HswHA1MKh…

Some updates. I managed to improve some stuff for the TROM II Kdenlive project and many videos work a lot smoother. But have to thinker more with it. That's great!

Also, got to play a lot more with our TROMjaro XFCE version and man o man....I had no clue how awesome XFCE is. And for the first time in 5-6 years of using Gnome, I am thinking to move there. Here's how my TROMjaro XFCE looks like:

Yes that is a proper left side dock back with window preview and ability to display opened apps per display or workspace basis. And YAS that is a global menu that I setup in like 5 minutes - I struggled to do that on Gnome since Unity left the scene. Works with many apps, but a few do not. In any case, fuck ton better than the Gnome hack I've been trying for the past year. The desktop is bloody fast even in a VM, and to customize it you hardly have to install anything. It is built in. What would I miss from Gnome!?....idk....

So I am really thinking to fully switch to XFCE for myself and TROMjaro by default....but have to test it more and more. #tromlive

Some 45 minutes in with TROM II. So far so great. I personally love it. I cannot wait to work tomorrow all day on it. It is a personal documentary but with some very important messages. Maybe is not personal tho...but we do talk about ourselves and I showcase lots of footage from our past and such. It is a different documentary than TROM II but so far feels more "catchy", easier to follow and be trapped by it, by following some of our stories and such. In any case, I hope I will be done with the first part this month. And that would be around 1h or so long. Then I start a new kind of chapter. Yah so far so great....I really like it. #tromlive

Testing a TROMjaro XFCE - maybe would be a good idea to also release a TROMjaro version for very old computers that can still be fast. I managed to make it look like the main TROMjaro (kinda):

In a virtual box for now. But in theory I could also release such an ISO with basically no apps installed except maybe a video player, and an image/pdf viewer. Super minimal. I think could be a great idea...is just that I am adding so many things to my list...I wish I could get help with these....but well...

So, will see...but it is a possibility. #tromlive

Our files.trom.tf is fully encrypted since 2 or so months ago. Now all of your files cannot be read/watched by anyone except you. Not even us who own the server, cannot do that. We can only see your hosted files’ names, and their metadata (when it was uploaded/edited, or what is the size of your file), plus we can see the structure of your folders. However we are unable to open any file to see its contents: videos, documents, photos, you name it, we are unable to preview any of these files even if we wanted to.

So take advantage of that! 5GB of free storage + Only Office included + more. Read more about it here https://trom.tf/files/

And access it here https://files.trom.tf

Our Peertube instance videos.trom.tf will become better and better. Here's how:

  • We are enforcing our thematic and thus most BS videos will be removed. So there will be better quality videos.
  • With the new Peertube update we will be able to expand the storage space by a lot, at a cost is true, but we should be able to afford a lot more storage space than we have now, and keep the instance growing.
  • With the new Peertube update we will be able to follow individual users or channels. This is super great. We can finally curate the videos now. We will take the time to unfollow all instances and just follow certain users/channels that post sane content. This way we cna enable again the trending, latest, and such categories, so that others discover new content.

We will try to also find new creators to join our Peertube. This is going to be a long journey I hope, so buckle-up! #tromlive
