Hello Community !!
First of all, I want to thank you on behalf of the DesdeLinux to all users who have seen favorably the merger of our blog and that of Use Linux and they have given us very positive comments and of course their suggestions.
We have much to do. Although we always try to make the changes once the blog is put back online, to work as they should, it may be the case that something goes wrong or is incomplete.
For now, we have to finish the migration of all articles from Let's use Linux, which also have to add some small details to adapt to the new design. For now this seems to me to be the most critical.
We have to do an almost titanic job to correct all the links on the pages and posts that link to Let's use Linux en Blogger, as well as update the section About Us, but this will be done little by little. We count on them to understand the situation and give us patience.
Regarding the design, well, there is also a lot to do and adjust. It would be very good if they offered us their feedbacks and that if something goes or looks wrong, they would take a screenshot and upload it somewhere to see what happens. In all the tests we did locally, everything worked fine, and even at various resolutions.
FAQ
What will happen to social networks? DesdeLinux?
From this moment on, the "Official" social networks of DesdeLinux, will be those of Let's use Linux, which have a greater number of users and therefore this benefits us.
Will this merger change the community spirit that the blog has always had?
NO. DesdeLinux It is still open to anyone who wants to collaborate, although it is possible that some changes will be made with respect to the ranks and privileges of some users who are no longer with us, but who will always be welcome.
I have problems with the design, what should I do?
It would be very helpful if you have a problem, take a screenshot, upload it to the Internet and provide us with some information such as screen resolution, browser version ... etc.
Congratulations! Great initiative, join forces!
At the moment the design suits me.
Are you only going to be the bigwigs in Us or the rest of the usual collaborators (including me) too?
Like I said, we have a lot of things to fix. If you notice, in the current We there are Administrators, Editors and Collaborators.
Boys, I sincerely congratulate you, until a day ago you were very good at what they did, now you are the best.
Every night I read the latest news that you publish and the truth is, I really enjoy it.
I am from Argentina and a faithful user of free software, I use the almighty Debian, and I will never go back to the evil windows.
I send you a huge and affectionate hug from here, and I congratulate you on the wonderful change, without a doubt, it has been for the better.
Union and strength !!!!!
For example, they changed me to editor-in-chief, that's useful and serves me more than admin, I didn't do anything as admin.
For now, I'm as an editor, but I hope to have the position of editor-in-chief (I don't ask to be an admin because I might send the devil a MariaDB BD or a PHP header because of my clumsiness).
Anyway, I hope the change is for the better and that this site improves for the better.
Congratulations, keep it up .. share knowledge .. greetings
To me the design, from Barcelona, perfect;). And I like!!
The design seems very good to me, there is only one thing that maybe they should change, the image of my user next to the name of the poster, I think I shouldn't go there, it's just my opinion, otherwise I think it's great, the penguin is excellent to go at the top of the page 😀
Very good changes at the moment. I like it
I like the design. A little "subway";). No, seriously, I like it. See when you unlock the main page.
Jojojo. It is unlocked, only that the blog cache does not let you see .. Give it a Ctrl + F5 in Firefox to see what happens ..
je
Very good design, it looks excellent in the mobile version
A tiny suggestion: could you make logo.png link back to the main page? I know it would be redundant with "Start" but in most places it is like this
Done, added the link 😉
We are already on it 😛
I said it from day 1… did you listen to me? Of course not…
Now Jorge asks for it and they indulge him that easy ... Nahh ... haha
Hug! Paul.
Ehh !! Jealousy by now? xDD
No, it just happened to us .. Man, I am one and between the new issue, the mortgage, the children, the job, the food, the water, the current payment, my girlfriend, the dog, the hamster, fish, cleaning, ironing, cooking, scrubbing ... well I missed ..
xDDD
BTW, the new design is great! This is one of the few sites that with each redesign become prettier rather than disgraceful. 🙂
But, as I always find a but for everything (😀), HATE multi-column designs; although it seems to be the trend, so anyway. So in the next redesign they don't do it like a pinboard, because I took the first plane to Cuba and I savagely murdered them. 😉
Well, go preparing the weapons and the passage, because the next design will not have a sidebar and everything will be in columns. MUAJAJA
Pss shut up hahahaha don't go ahead hahahahaha

By the way, did you see how we got the 404 error? - » https://blog.desdelinux.net/404
I already saw the 404 error. What's more, I don't think the game starts.
I am a forever author xD
I know that feels, bro.
It's actually a great idea, I follow both blogs, and most likely they will be excellent. Success.
very good the new blog design
By way of criticism / suggestion, the main page has a lot of empty spaces which makes it look rather ugly, they should take advantage of them or remove them. In the pages of the posts they do not take much advantage of the lateral space but everything else looks good.
by the way, the mobile view although it improved, it is very slow (even slower than the site)
Maybe it is because many things are being loaded that there is no need, we have to check to see what divs we hide for mobile 🙂
Thanks for the feedback
This cute little penguin down there and to the right to go to the beginning. I even like the new logo better than the old one. Looks great.
The only thing that I see strange is that with this new home with the posts style little cards the highlighted images of the articles are deformed:
http://i.imgur.com/U7LAE7q.png
It looks rough. And with so much post that they have with other types of images that are not of the same aspect ratio, they will suffer a while more accommodating that or they will end up leaving it like that.
Anyway, good luck with everything.
I agree with that aspect. What's more, in Chromium / Chrome for Linux, it looks worse (as if they are using 4: 3 resolution on a 16: 9 screen).
Unfortunately we still have to look for a better option to generate the thumbnails of the featured images. We are working on it, thanks for passing you Gabriela.
Yes, accommodating images is going to be a pain in the ass ... but, the end result (this theme is 50% of where we want to go) will undoubtedly be very, VERY attractive, I guarantee it 😉
Thanks for stopping by ^ - ^
Suggested articles are now missing, there are very few recent comments, the search edit is half invisible (it would be better if it was seen clearly).
my 2c
Great, I'm a fan of both forums and the news really made me happy.
As a suggestion, it would be nice if the part where the logo (<º) is to scroll along with the page, so it is at hand at all times. (Is it understood?) XD
Congratulations and keep it up, it's great what you do!
But that's what the little penguin in the corner is for.
I hope to continue collaborating. So be simple things, but for the fact of sharing ..
The little poster that jumps when I put the cursor over a title on the main page seems unnecessary to me. You can put the entire title from the beginning, thus taking advantage of the white space that is not being used and giving a feeling of less loaded to the blog.
It is not like this. If the title has more than 3 lines for example, the size of the square that encloses the post changes and is uneven with the rest. That is why by default the title will not have more than 2 lines and if so, it is cut .. that's why the tooltip is very necessary.
Oh… well, then forget what I said.
Anyway I think that "white" does not look good. You could leave the square that encloses the post with less length to solve it, right? or put more lines from the preview of the article.
I don't want to sound pushy, these are just my suggestions, but you are the bosses.
You are only seeing it in your resolution .. The size that we set by default is not pure whim, it is so that it looks good in the rest of the resolutions 😉
It would be good to be able to comment by connecting with the facebook, google or twitter account.
Well, the design of the page reminds me of subway ... therefore I get lost in it but anyway ... congratulations on the merger only time will tell if it is for better or for worse ... otherwise ... there is someone who ruins this site
I agree with you, the design reminds me a lot of Metro ... I liked the design better as it was before, but hey, for color tastes.
A Suggestion I think they should change the name on social networks.-
Another question that will happen with the section of friends pages and that will not exist?
I was wondering the same thing but with the surveys section
We are in the same, since the surveys as they gave some dynamism to the website.
since this is the column style, how about adding keyboard navigation as in g + http://box.jisko.net/i/a457cdf3.png
I support the motion!
My feeling when seeing the design is that it is more adapted for 4: 3 than for 16: 9, let's see if you can do something that looks somewhat ugly on 1080p screens: /
Tell me if you see it better now in that resolution ..
To change the internal links from “Let's use Linux” to “Desdelinux» A couple of things come to mind, although Manuel de la Fuente's suggestion may be enough.
1 - If you only change the domain and not the rest of the URL, it would be enough to download the content to export and edit it in a text before uploading it to the new blog. "Thirst -i…."
I used this form with success when I had the unhappy idea to change the way posts URL is created (from format with date + number to URL with title name). And I say unhappy because I fixed the links in a piss, but google doesn't seem to like the idea that their indexed URLs were suddenly different.
2 -Another option that is more tedious, but useful for all «lost links» would be the «Broken Link Checker» plugin which detects all the broken links and allows you to edit them one by one but without editing the respective entries (only the links).
CONGRATULATIONS! As always making changes to improve.
Congratulations friends.
Just an observation; the loading speed can be improved.
Greetings.
Excellent, when I read the news in Let's Use Linux it seemed very interesting to me and yesterday I couldn't enter here because they were working on the page (which by the way was spectacular), I think that of these two blogs is a very good fusion ( I just have one less blog to read when I'm at the office hahaha)
Good luck with your new journey 🙂
I don't understand .. Why one less blog? On the contrary, you will continue reading Pablo, but in this blog. I mean, basically the only thing you lose is a url 😉
what happens is that many of us take the "independence" of each blog. that's why they tell you about losing the blog hehehe… in my case I didn't follow Let's Use Linux until yesterday I checked it a bit… and well… there are some things
** EDIT **

New Look, New Fusion, excellent !! 😀
Wow! I swear a week ago I thought... how would I love it if we used Linux desde linux they were a single website… ale! I was shocked when I read it!
hahahahahahahaha
I like the new design, and the fusion is great, I followed both blogs. Ahead
I like the new design, and the fusion is great, I followed both blogs. Go ahead, this looks very good.
Yes! .. ..I love how they think big .. 😉
As they say, there is much to improve .. ..that you do not lose your courage .. and put a punch ..
I see some problems in the views ... most likely I will end up sending you an email with their screens as soon as I have a while ...
On the other hand, I hope that together with these improvements .. the 'recommended posts' will be updated .. ..and that there will also be a facelift for our forum ..
Finally, welcome to the family to all the users of Let's use Linux .. .. hope that together we will make this community .. the best .. 😉
Yes, send me screenshots so I can work better.
About the facelift of the forum ... it is something we have wanted to do for a long time but, making templates for that system (they are with tpl and things like that) is complex 🙁
Congratulations on this change. Changes are always good.
u_u
the search box animation disappeared
In 1920 × 1080 px resolution there is too much space on the sides, but otherwise great! 😀
You're right, it's that by default we set the blog to not be 1024px wide. This can be adjusted later. Thanks for the feedback 😉
I love the new design.
This is a great joy, I am a follower of both, and this union is going wonderfully, Congratulations on the efforts made to make this happen. What there is is to have the will to do things and I think that this is the way of LINUX / GNU.
I love the new design and we finally have an original 404 page.
HAHAHAHA thanks for the original 404 page hahahaha 😀
Of course, if I am going to read it in this blog, only that the custom is:
- Check the blogs that I normally read, in the office
- And the very interesting news I read well at home
What happens now is just a feeling that I am going to have one less blog to read, although I know that I am going to read Pablo here !!!!
Sorry if I don't explain it well
For the rest, this fusion seems excellent 🙂
I like it 😀 since <° DesdeLinux even the happy face at the bottom, as it should be simple and elegant :)
I applaud the enthusiasm of the entire blog team to improve and always keep abreast of new linux trends. The comment is to report that on my netbook the site does not look good when loading the main address, only a vertical line of articles is seen, when I reduce the resolution of the browser to 65%, the two columns of post appear fine. As I said, it is just a comment and I hope this case does not happen to other users.
What resolution do you use?
Thanks for the feedback
Hi, well I use the resolution I use is 1024 × 600 on a hp netbook. In the case of independent articles, things are going well. I have been checking the site in the Firefox browser and things are going great. I think that in Chrome it does not look good until I reduce it to 65%
To make you want that the work has just begun.
I love the new logo, I swear I didn't understand the <° before, I thought it was some kind of abbreviation for advanced users XD. I like very much.
The penguin to go back to the beginning is adorable, but like Saphire I think it does not go with the style of the new theme.
Keep it up 😉
Although I wish the penguin were more similar to the Günter penguin from the Cartoon Network animated series "Adventure Time." Anyway, that penguin looks great.
As they say here in Chile, "now it's more cool"….
But elav, respectfully a query ... according to the slogan ... «... let's use linux to be free ...» why not ??? ...
«... let's use GNU / Linux to be free ...»
it's just a suggestion.
Greetings.
Because many of the GNU / Linux users do not know the correct term "GNU / Linux", since Linux is the kernel of the operating system, and GNU, the operating system, according to the conception of Richard Stallman and the FSF. In addition, most of the distros are not 100% free for the FSF to consider them as reliable options against Windows and Mac (bigotry, bigotry everywhere).
Although it is the correct term, with «... let's use GNU / Linux to be free ...» nothing happens
What of Let's use Linux to be free was totally intentional .. by Let's use Linux obviously.
that was obvious, there was no reason to say it
Indeed, our slogan before was «Learn to be better desde Linux", Making reference "desde Linux» to our site, to the domain, now we change it to «Let's use Linux to be free ", which encompasses more the feeling of our site (for" to be free ") and also the" Let's use Linux "obviously refers to the merger 🙂
It has simply been incredible for you, I congratulate you, I know that a job like this is not something that is done in one go, you have my respects this is love for the community 🙂 keep it up elav, KZKG ^ Gaara, let's use linux and other collaborators.
Thank you! A hug!
Pablo.
Elav, just a comment, at the beginning of the articles when you are logged in, the image of the user appears in the upper left, it seems to me that either none should appear, or the image of the author of the entry should appear.
I think it's a good idea
Mmm, it must be the cache or something like that because the idea is that, that the author's avatar comes out. Anyway let me check. Thanks for the feedback.
Congratulations on the project.
The design looks great.
