I don't know about restarting or hibernating as I don't use these. I would have to test it. As long as you are in the power group I think you should be able to restart and hibernate as user.

There's this article about GNOME losing relevance:

From my limited perspective, I would say the World Domination Plan is actually wet paper.

LMAO.
More traditional desktops like Xfce and KDE are really easier to migrate into from other operating systems. The problem of GNOME is, it's getting too heavy handed against it's own software and pulling further and further into the system rather than being modular. Now GNOME's libraries and programs that can be used on non-GNOME environments work very well often even in KDE and Xfce and dependencies now are just a fact of life. I don't see the programs themselves going away per-say, but I do see a time when the actual GNOME desktop environment will not be around. |

Eschewing with the kdei and/or kde directories are a nice way to slim down an already slim distribution, though with how massive even thumbdrives have gotten there's not much point. If all you need is a no-frills window manager with oodles of configurability and all the virtual desktops you can eat, with no need for a "desktop environment", fvwm is just fine. And unlike kde and gnome, fvwm is pretty much guaranteed to remain sane and solid forever. |
Xfce is still fairly lightweight compared to KDE and GNOME in spite of it's dependencies that keep getting added. I've installed Xfce onto systems and don't have anywhere near the same level of tools and software KDE and GNOME include.
I'll stick to Xfce anyways. Even if it's growing as a desktop environment and taking more stuff into it, it's still faster, more compact, and more featured as a complete environment. |
Is udisks2 really necessary ?
