If you decide to give i3 a try, I recommend this repo as a sane starting config: https://github.com/shreyas-a-s/debian-i3

Hey! My beard isn’t that… oh, fuck, I guess it is. Where does the time go?

Just plain Debian, with either xfce or i3. I have a rediculusly old laptop that runs them both fine. I generally prefer i3 on it because the touchpad is pretty terrible, but xfce works well with a real mouse.

I seem to be solidly in a grumpy old man mood tonight.

You know what was good UI design language? Mid-late 90s Windows/MacOS/BeOS. Buttons looked like buttons and you could see if they were pressed or disabled. Same with sliders, radio button, and every other UI widget. The slight 3D look meant that it was obvious at a glance what was going on. Window corners has little grabbers to show where to grab. Scroll bars showed how much you could scroll, with obvious buttons to do so.

Everything about flat UI design is bullshit.
