I've been messing around with #LXQT in a vm lately. I really kind of like it.
Is anyone using LXQT in a multi-head / multi-monitor configuration?
Any issues with where it defaults to placing new apps, resuming from screensaver or hibernation, adding/removing displays while running? Anything else I'm not thinking about?
I do enjoy a desktop environment that allows you to _easily_ create an old skool right-click menu on your desktop.
There's some quirks to configuring the ordering, not sure if I'll need to hand edit the menu once I get it most of the way there.
For a mutli-head setup this avoids having to have an Application Launcher on every screen, but it does require access to unobscured desktop in order to work.
And my nerdy part likes the '80s-'90s UNIX desktop vibes it creates. Ha.

Planning on using this as a practice Linux system for my Linux+ studies. 
I finally reached a milestone in my "using #Linux applications on #FreeBSD" journey. Here are notes and thoughts on running #Docker containers on FreeBSD #Jail using #podman (or not). No big news for some. But a nice hiking session for me :D

This morning, four calls. My throat feels like it’s been scrubbed with sandpaper, but three new projects ranging from cloud systems to BSDs. Definitely worth it.
My BSDCan submission has been approved!
It will be wonderful to be back in Ottawa, meet again all the "old" (and new) friends from the BSD world and, this time, present something that has saved me more than once... and it’s based on NetBSD!

I’ve just received a wonderful email. I’m so excited!
More about this in the coming days.
