Hello Everyone

Hello all.

I'm a retired techie now living in the Upper Midwest of the US (first snow of the season as I type this  — not much).

I've been a Linux user since 1996 and have used XFCE on virtually all of my machines for maybe 15 years.  Recently, I set up three Linux boxes with XFCE4 on Debian 13 and ran into a series of annoying glitches that took way more time to sort out than is usual on this lightweight and capable desktop.  I found several solutions in this forum and decided that I should — finally — register so I could ask here myself.  And maybe help others now and then.

Re: Hello Everyone

Welcome to the forum.

What were the "glitches" if I can ask?

Hello all....

Welcome to the forum.
Our first day with a wintry mix - snow, sleet, rain in the mid-Atlantic region.
Your experience with Linux and XFCE sounds a lot like mine; although, I have not yet had any glitches I could not resolve.

Re: Hello Everyone

Welcome! I just joined the forums as well. I'm currently in Kansas City, but I call Portland, OR home. I will be a retired techie in 3 months and I can't wait!
