For years I've always had pictures as wallpapers on my desktop, but now I've just got a graphic, so it wouldn't make my Conky look too busy. It looks like Manjaro is my main distro of choice, mainly because it's got a rolling release and the other reason is that it's not an Ubuntu-based OS. Ubuntu is good but every time I did a new release upgrade, I would end up reloading it anyway. I'm hoping that this won't be the case with a rolling distro. With Manjaro I even get to pick the kernel I want. You can do that with Ubuntu but Manjaro's GUI makes changing your kernel very easy, either going forward or rolling it back. You can even get the experimental kernel if you choose.One thing I've done on all my XFCE desktops is to configure them the way Linux Quest has in his tutorial on youtube. He's using Antegros, which is now defunct since April this year but everything still works for about any XFCE, especially any XFCE based on Arch.
Manjaro is great. Just like Arch, well maybe not quite like Arch, you can get as cutting edge as you want or you can go with a stable version. Probably next week I will foray into Manjaro's I3 window manager. I can go the I3 route or load it on top of XFCE, I just have to read up on it. I look at the Reddit r/unixporn too much.
Now if I could just get Conky Weather to work I would be a real happy camper. Now to finish my Dropbox install and finish my book, Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch.
