Talk Details

Talk 0:
Topic : Using Windows managers like hackers along with desktop environment
Description : Ever wonder how hackers use only keyboard to do all the work in a computer. But how do they drag windows and place ??

Because they use window managers like Linux wizards and do all things in keyboard.

You might also considered this but worried that your daily work may get affected due to window managers during the learning phase.

I am here to tell you don’t have to chose one. Instead you can use both 😉

In this talk I will be showing how to install a window manager along with your desktop env so you can switch between them. Getting best of both worlds\n I will be using Linux mint cinnamon for the demo.mint users don’t miss it

Cancelling Monthly Meet for March (12-03-2023)

Hi everyone,

>> KanchiLUG Monthly meet is going to be held on upcoming Mar 12, 2023 through an online meeting platform called Jitsi meet at 16:00 IST.

No speakers sent their willingness to share in this Monthly meet for march.

Of course other coordinators offered that they can take any linux topic for this meet. But the actual purpose of the Monthly meet is for learners to share their learnings not the co-ordinators themselves.

Also I am not available this weekend, you might have seen this in the call for hosts mail. That mail too didn’t get any response.

So I hereby cancel this Monthly meeting for the Month of march on Mar 12, 2023

Due to unavailability of hosts we cannot even conduct a weekly discussion this week

Have a fun and great weekend everyone!
