Sean Davis<p><a href="https://floss.social/tags/Xubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xubuntu</span></a> users! Do you still use "indicators"? In particular, the ones that are not compatible with the modern KStatusNotifier spec?</p><p>Xubuntu ships the Xfce Indicator and Systray plugins as well as "indicator-messages." Does indicator-messages (the mail icon indicator) still work? Should we consider dropping the Indicator plugin for 25.10 to fix issues like these? I'm leaning towards yes.</p><p><a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/2059045" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sou</span><span class="invisible">rce/xfce4-panel/+bug/2059045</span></a></p>

Kazz<p>I remember in the late 90s installing Red Hat <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> for the first time, booting into X, and thinking "OMG I'm in love".</p><p>That feeling has never dissipated.</p><p>I hopped from Red Hat to Mandrake and then to Ubuntu and loved every minute. Then I discovered gaming and, to my regret, I had to use Windows.</p><p>Nowadays, my life is very different - I became more and more disabled over the years - and found myself having to survive on benefits. </p><p>I have 2 machines: a 2014 MacBook Air and an 8 year old PC. The laptop cannot run MacOS and support for Windows10 was being withdrawn. Being on benefits, buying a new machine is out of the question. Money is just too tight. So, once again, I was drawn to Linux.</p><p>I installed <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Xubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Xubuntu</span></a> on the laptop and <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Kubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kubuntu</span></a> on the PC. It has breathed new life into both computers. They run flawlessly and am incredibly grateful for them.</p><p>If and when the time comes where I can afford a new PC, I won't be effing around. Linux will be installed on it.</p><p>M$/Apple are my past.</p>
