@eclecticpassions @joel I’m planning to install #antix on an old MacBook as well. Gave a few distros a live version try. Antix for me the clear winnner. #MXlinux #fluxbox was a distant 2nd

I've easily & smoothly configured KDE Konnect to work in Fluxbox WM
An #MX #Linux nomadic #LiveUSB system with dynamic persistence is everything you need to go around with an updated full #GNU+#Linux #OS in your pocket, ready to work in any machine you found around in your pilgrimage... Really awesome...

Since this command...
`xfce4-screenshooter -S -d 2 --window -s "$HOME/Pictures/$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S)_Screenshot2.png"`
...segfaults in fluxbox atm I did not bother with a screenshot, because xfce4-screenshooter rocks way too much to use another one

At this moment I'm roughly tuning a very nice FluxBox Desktop in an OpenSource POSIX driven OS.
I'm working on tuning my Desktops Environments in such a way that it doesn't matter whether I run them in Linux or *BSD
That way I'll just fire up the Operating System inject my own configuration for the desktop environment fire up X.org and then start working
FluxBox has been a favorite window / desktop manager of mine a couple of decades ago.
Since it has been written efficient it's blazingly fast
I combine tools that I love from Xfce with FluxBox so that my muscle memory for shortcuts can be used in a super smooth manner

KDEConnect is a powerful piece of connection software. Even when you only bounce off the Android client with your Androids (plural) you will enjoy the program. I can see that a of lot coding time (not difficult for a seasoned programmer) and debugging effort (can be tedious if you have no alpha / beta testers) has been put into the code.
KDE Connect celebrated 10 years in 2023, now its 12, so quite mature for software. Esp opensource.
Problems connecting Linux (or any other) often mean that your distro maintainer did something unexpected (IMHO stupid) by enabling an fw pointing to your LAN (sick!) with all incoming ports blocked.
- Blocked ports on LANs DONT enhance security, and give flase sense of superiour security.
- Not stating that explicitly on the installer of the fw (default base install!) means searching to and fro, since the fw pointing local will be checked rudimentary to last, wasting brain cycles
The moment fw errors have been terminated (T2) your desktop client will work without a hitch, doing handshaking and later functions which you enable one by one.
Android client has accross the board an unfightable problem which is powermgmt regardless of flags put for 24/7 background operation. Esp cheap Xiaomis have that. The ones of EUR 175 (USD same) to EUR 1200, have less of that esp the near and full flagships.
Its unfightable untill you remove Android OS and replace with a flash on your phone.
Im having fun with Android client

Now I have YAT (yet another toy) to play with on all platforms I dwell upon. Love KDE Connect features.
In fact I played with it for a few hours yesterday.

For now I've removed KDE Connect from the miniPC
I shall study the manpages online and then decide if the program is worth the 24MB extra on tha machine. I love what the Android client does so that will go on all of my Androids, because its just handy

This is another example of the Android's controlling each other's programs and interfaces. It goes very smooth from Android to Android

This is an example of the plug-and-play results from the Androids who are happily sending commands to each other

However handshaking with either Android has failed with the desktop. The network of all devices is the same, no VLANs defined so they should see eachother fine
I see this empty screen so I'll need to read the manpages on KDEConnect Linuix to see which switches I need to use so it sees the Androids which are already happily chatting with eachother

Up to now I've had a plug-play results with KDE connect on two of my Androids regarding handshaking & discovery.
On the desktop which runs XFCE (Ill correct the main toot) the demands were **hefty** on the dependencies (24MB using gnome's libs for their filemanager which also pulled the required KDE libs in)

Can I use KDE connect without installing KDE as my desktop manager?
On The machine in question, a miniPC, I have XFce (not {Openbox} or FluxBox) as the DesktopManager, running MX Linux on the metal
KDE Connect (KDE Connect integrates your smartphone and computer)
This week I will be mostly running #Fluxbox.
I'm missing the snappiness of running #Fluxbox instead of a DE, but I do enjoy the convenience of #mxlinux, I prefer pacman to apt enough to distrohop, but that is the only significant advantage I see running Arch over MX.
Has anyone experience with the MX fluxbox flavour? Does it feel contemporary and pollished enough as a daily driver?
