Nice!

Different machines will give different results. I boot Miyo-Rolling x86_64 on my laptop, and it boots at 180 MBs of RAM. Same exact setup boots on my old HP dx5150. desktop at 130 MBs of RAM.

We need a new "How to get the same results on every computer" thread.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Well...aside from a certain rolling-release respin of Devuan , I also use...

Venom Linux - to satisfy my source-based distroism.
OpenBSD - to satisfy my BSDism.
Void Linux - to satisfy my ... well ... I just like it.

Don't use a bloated volume icon on your panel ; just use the volume keys on your keyboard.

Here's what I have in my Openbox rc.xml file; adjust it to the needs of your WM/DE. By the way, this is for alsa-only...

    <keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>amixer set Master 5%+</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>amixer set Master 5%-</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="XF86AudioMute">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>amixer set Master toggle</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>

HEY! Don't be minimalizing my minimalism!

Bwahahahaha!

More ffmpeg minimal minimalist minimalism... 

Don't use a bloated screen recorder like Simple Screen Recorder, OBS, etc...

Just use ffmpeg to record your screen and alsa to record the audio at the same time...

This is the command that I use; adjust it to your needs , because I have alsa set to use my USB microphone default:CARD=U0x46d0x825, my screen size -video_size 1366x768, frame rate -r 15 etc...

ffmpeg -y -f alsa -i default:CARD=U0x46d0x825 -f x11grab -r 15 -video_size 1366x768 -i :0.0+0,0 -c:v libx264rgb -preset ultrafast ~/Videos/output.mkv

If you're not sure how to find your USB microphone (if you use one), use this command to find it, then exchange your "card" in the command...

arecord -L

Hahaha! I was just kidding around about the bloat.

Actually, MOC is my preferred audio player...I like it so much that I made my own theme for it.

...and VLC...I always install it. It has too many useful tools in its arsenal not to have it on my system.

I guess that's why it works for me. I only use speakers that plug into my headphone jack. Hahaha!

Carry on. I'll be quiet now.

I don't know if this will work, but there are a couple of things you can try...

1. Open a terminal, and enter alsamixer. If it opens in the terminal, use your arrow keys to move to the right until Automute is highlighted. Then press the down arrow to disable it.

You may have to choose your sound card first by pressing F6...

If alsamixer isn't working on your system, then you can try...

2. When you first boot your computer up...BEFORE adjusting the volume on the panel, open Pavucontrol. Go to Output Devices. If the volume icon is highlighted (muted), press it to unmute it. THEN move the slider beneath it.

Both of those options have always worked for me, but I'm unfamiliar with Cinnamon.

Good luck

BSDs in order (according to my PPs...aka...Personal Preferences)

1. OpenBSD
2. NetBSD
3. FreeBSD (and its derivatives)

Why?

Because that's the way I roll baby! 

Oh...I must have somehow missed that.

Hey...thanks!

It has been a long time since I've used DWM. I might give it a try soon.

I understand.

Someone recently said the same thing on Sourceforge about CMST on Miyo-Rolling a couple of weeks ago. So...I suggested they...

First install network-manager-gnome.
Then remove CMST.

It worked for me on Ceres...but I don't like network-manager-gnome, so I removed it and installed CMST again. Hahaha!

Might be an option if you ever want to try it again in the future.

Ceres has been absolutely stable for me, but then again, I have very minimal setups, so there's not much to break.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
