LXDE further development.

I'm using LXDE for a few years and in this year I started contributing to this project. To enter into development process I started to work on GPicView. Few bugs described in repository was fixed and some features was implemented. I created a patches, but it seems like nobody is checking them (Yes, nobody owes me anything, but a half a year?). There is no activity in mailing list, and many people, here, on Reddit, say that it's dead.

I like the idea of the lightweight DE, which gives me opportunity to use as much resources of my machine as I can, while giving simple and intuitive GUI. Also GTK programming is interesting topic to learn for me. LXDE is quite good for that and I would like to contribute to it, but if it is such poorly maintained, maybe it is time for a fork? For the begining it might be just be built with GTK2 but have bug fixes and some new features.

How to repair exFAT on Linux?

I want to use exFAT for removable media. It is now supported both in kernel and FUSE. The only problem is that I can't find how to repair it (it will surely become inconsistent at some point).

INB4: F2FS, ext4, XFS, etc. - not what I'm looking for.

What are your reasons for using Linux instead of Windows or Mac?

I was just wondering why everyone here chooses to use Linux instead of Windows or Mac OS X.
Why are you using the Linux distribution that you're using?
What are pro/cons of Linux vs other OS'

Virt-Lightning: a Cloud-like CLI for libvirt to quickly start your local virtual machines

Hey! I would like to introduce a new tool I've been working on during the last months.

My day to day activities involves a lot of VM create/destroy. I use a cloud most of the time, but I got frustrated by the inherent latency of the whole thing. Especially because my laptop was perfectly able to run similar workload faster. I like libvirt and I know how to use cloud-init. I was looking for a CLI tool that allows me to reproduce my workflow, but with a local libvirt, this instead of my cloud!

And here comes Virt-Lightning. It uses a collection of local Cloud image (qcow2), prepares a cloud-init config-drive, and starts the VM in libvirt. It's fast, it's simple and it's compatible with tools like virsh or virt-manager.

It can also fetch existing images from the Internet, open SSH or terminal connection to the running VMs. The command is called \`vl\`, an alias for \`virt-lightning\`. Oh, and it can also generate an Ansible inventory of the running VM automagically, it handy when you need to run some post-configuration playbook.

If you're curious, the website shows up some examples: [https://virt-lightning.org/](https://virt-lightning.org)
