Peppermint edition The better lubuntu

I've never tried Peppermint because it's described as the cloud distro. But I didn't like the LXQt version of Lubuntu so I'll give it a go.

>>32770 Terrible

>>32762 Don't you cringe a bit when looking at your desktop? The kind-of macos-like imitation, that still misses the point is a few years old now, and was never really on point. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if this is supposed to be ironic.

>>32774 You're pretty cringy too desu

>>32774 It is ironic lmao.

:) >>32762 lmao >>32770 Comfy >>32848 cute

>>32773 Why is that?

>>32750 Fine >sonic-thehedgehog >>32762 Not a fan >fuarrrkass >>32770 Alright >>32821 Generic, though it does look nice >>32848 Looks good, colours work >>32860 Black on white looks kind of rough here. Also, does the font in the status bar need to be thsat big?

le i3 has arrived

>>32848 macos is cute >>32875 I like your fetch

>>32875 I like the size of the font on my status bar, it's a 1366x768 screen mind. I do need to emerge a better terminal though, xterm is fast and all but it lacks a lot of comfort features I enjoy. Any recommendations?

>>32750 I saw your post in /g/. >>32821 Font hinting looks bad. Like the "b" on title bar. >>32875 What are the planet symbols for?

Lainchan's post.php wasn't working for a while. >>32937 >comfort features I wouldn't be too sure - I've specialised my build of st and now I'm far too deeply entrenched to bother with anything else. I do generally see urvxt works very well with much to do with ricing, and I would guess this applies to usefulness in other areas too. >>32944 >What are the planet symbols for? No particular reason. I had numbers, then roman numerals, then braille, now this. They're ordered from the Sun to Mars. Unless you meant that they related in some way to how I organise my programs - they're unrelated. I run web browser on Venus, chat clients on Earth, various programs (e.g. GIMP) on Mars, and terminals on the Sun and Mercury.

>>32762 what's a fuarrrkass

>>32908 Mac is is NOT cute

>>32977 it can be if you're bothered to set up yabai

>>32984 This is fantastic

>>32984 Love the look of it.

stock awesome, nothing installed in dom0. If you run Qubes, don't mess with Dom0. That defeats the entire point of Qubes OS

apologies for the obnoxiously wide picture; scrot doesn't play nice with multihead setups. >>32899 this is gorgeous but i can't imagine actually *using* it for anything >>32908 sexy terminal font >>32984 i love this

>>32977 no

>>33065 Yikes

i3 is comfy

First time doing this in quite a while. I'm happy with it.

>>33065 Not sure what I'm looking at, but it looks kinda cool.

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

>>32977 Right, only Mac ripoffs are cute

Haven't used anything but Windows or GNOME in a long time so I tried BSPWM. It's comfy but I think DWM is still my favourite TWM.

Sup lainbros!

>>32977 Mac OS is alright. Mac COMPUTERS are not alright though. Hackintosh is the only acceptable way to use Mac OS.

not completely finished, but liking these colors so far.

>>33267 wallpaper?

>>33268 made it myself, took a frame from a fauux gif and added a background.

>>32984 this is gorgeous how did you do this

>>33441 Just a super easy change of the layout to the panel, wallpaper, cursor, bitmap fonts, and changing the terminal nothing fancy. >>33010 >>33030 >>33052 Appreciate the kind words, thank you!

>>33478 >default dwm >default colors literally perfect, 10/10

hehe hoho lalalala weeeee

>>33568 Arch user here (btw). Artix has always interested me, but I haven't jumped the shark because I question systemd's criticism. I could be speaking completely out of my ass, but I feel like systemd is like that chunk of code that you think is useless, so you delete it, but then you realize it was actually important and you've fuarrrked up your whole program. Are there any major disadvantages to not using systemd? Will I run into compatibility issues?

>>33620 I'm not the person you quoted but systemd isn't KISS mainly. It does a lot for an init system and the more complex something is, the more effort it takes to maintain, secure, and port. That said, compatibility isn't always affected as much as you'd think. OpenBSD can run GNOME for instance and its init system is very simple in comparison.

>>33620 I don't use Artix nor am I the person you quoted, but I'll give my two cents. Systemd is problematic because it doesn't follow the Unix philosophy and doesn't seem to have a defined scope, which causes it and whatever software depends on it to be harder to maintain, secure, and port compared to leaner alternatives. That said, things you might not expect would work, like GNOME on distros without systemd or even the BSDs, do. So my advice is to do a bit of research and determine if there's something systemd does in your setup that you can't do without.

>>33624 >>33625 Accidentally double posted, oops.

i'm >>33052 but now i've actually bothered to configure my compositor, which is nice. (right monitor is smplayer in fullscreen) >>33115 5:4 looks cozy af, need to get a monitor like that sometime >>33478 stock dwm extremely based

>>33271 Your background is very nice. I hope you don't mind me using it.

>>33801 you're welcome :)

Not sure if they are still around, but >>31869 How can I replicate this win7 style on Linux? I assume this is KDE5.

>>33872 huh, it posted duplicate images

>>33872 You unwittingly reposted the photo of my first Linux install. I made it as a bit of a soykafpost, seeing as my username is visible, as well as my embarassing google search for how to take a screenshot. It is indeed KDE5. I used the Win7OS global theme. And kwinde Icons. Distro was kubuntu. Ended up deleting that whole thing shortly after and moving to EndeavorOS, and after that Arch.

>>33872 >5 ways to take screenshots lol, we all have been there...

Just installed debian, confused on what to do now(PS, i know gnome isnt that riceable but i dont like the feel of kde, and xfce kept screen tearing, and i love the sleek modernity of gnome) >>33136 god that looks nice

>>33896 xfce's v-sync is in the compositing settings. lose the gnome, you dumb tool.

>>33897 i dont know, i just like the feel of it its honestly not that bad when you get used to it plus i already got used to fixing unity(what a total abortion) on my mom's ubuntu laptop, and it kinda looks similair to that abortion but it actually works really nice, and i have a thin bezel monitor and it really fits the aesthetic of my monitor really well

>>33897 also, how bad/good is cinnamon or mate considered both of them but i already had a debian gnome live cd and it was 2:30 in the morning so i just didnt bother i only set up the basics on this system though, could easily just reinstall/swap DE's

>>33899 They're pretty bad, very static, hard to customize. If you like defaults, they might be for you. They're sleek, performant (compared to KDE at least), and simple. You could do worse.

>>33902 i want to do a bit which is why i kinda regret gnome but god do i hate the aesthetic of kde its so fuarrrking full of bloat and unless you spend 20 hours ricing it looks like it came out of an oem factory in shenzen might switch to xfce as it isnt a collection of bloat

>>33905 >xfce >gnome gtk At least go for something better like lxqt or openbox+kwin.

Ok

r8

>>33929 fuarrrking comfy and nostalgic, love it

>>33929 lemmy guess - u r a 1337 15?

>>33929 >running NetBSD >OpenBSD wallpaper Rebellious. I like it.

>>33929 there's no way anybody has their soykaf decked up like this. total meme, or mentally retarded.

>>33929 there's absolute way everybody has our soykaf decked down like this. none neme, or heartily enlightened.

>>33929 >2019 not bait post/10 are u cute tho

I am >>33245 I changed my rice recently. Got tired of the industrial matrix aesthetic and wanted something more "elegant", so I went with a Mac like theme. I don't like Apple, but I do think Mac OS looks very "elegant". I also included my waifu again obviously!

>>33929 Unironically based! I love this cheesy 2000s aesthetic! The more "cringy" it is the better!

I have been at a loss for terminal colors/color schemes. I'm thinking something like pic related (not mine) or something neon-y could be nice. Could anyone help? (I honestly might try ripping the individual colors out of pic related, lol)

>>34450 Isn't that shell pompt a bit sparse?

>>34457 Eh, perhaps so, but I guess it works for whoever made it. My attention was directed towards the color scheme, which I thought was really nice, but the individual colors were not posted

Most DWM builds look and function the same, but it's still damned cozy either way.

>>34450 plug the colors you yank out of the image into terminal.sexy. you can export it to various config formats.

>>34487 Here is the st config for anyone interested (I slightly tinted each of the colors I selected. The link would not save the settings and it should be simple enough to convert to other formats. I think it may be a bit too low contrast but I'm not sure yet): /* Terminal colors (16 first used in escape sequence) */ static const char *colorname[] = { /* 8 normal colors */ [0] = "#09080d", /* black */ [1] = "#8c6269", /* red */ [2] = "#73785b", /* green */ [3] = "#857551", /* yellow */ [4] = "#5f6f89", /* blue */ [5] = "#6a5974", /* magenta */ [6] = "#628c85", /* cyan */ [7] = "#7e8989", /* white */ /* 8 bright colors */ [8] = "#52505b", /* black */ [9] = "#a17777", /* red */ [10] = "#859466", /* green */ [11] = "#a7945f", /* yellow */ [12] = "#667893", /* blue */ [13] = "#8b719c", /* magenta */ [14] = "#77a19a", /* cyan */ [15] = "#939394", /* white */ /* special colors */ [256] = "#09080d", /* background */ [257] = "#939394", /* foreground */ }; /* * Default colors (colorname index) * foreground, background, cursor */ static unsigned int defaultfg = 257; static unsigned int defaultbg = 256; static unsigned int defaultcs = 257; /* * Colors used, when the specific fg == defaultfg. So in reverse mode this * will reverse too. Another logic would only make the simple feature too * complex. */ static unsigned int defaultitalic = 7; static unsigned int defaultunderline = 7;

>>32750 Not even near perfect, but I am slowly working on it.

>>34516 >>32750 And hear the clear background.

>>34518 pape? >>34486 more RAM

>>34450 how is using mksh as an interactive shell? why not use a beyter suited shell like zsh/bash?

>>34526 it's a shell, it does the job, it hase nifty defaults and can be configured to suit your tastes. I would say it was definitely engineered as an interactive shell, perhaps try it?

>>34527 ill check it out

>>34526 I use zsh, the picture I posted is not mine

>>32762 No >>32860 Nice >>32875 Very nice .Post your asciiart collection lainon >>32899 Looks good . but do u use it ? >>32908 Nice background

>>34626 was perl fun to learn? what kind of stuff do you make with it? or have you not really dug into it yet? i like making bash scripts so i think i should get gd and learn perl.

>>34627 Its very fun to learn and use . If you hate python then use it . its powerful in linux and more suited for the environnement if you want to write simple programs . I didnt use it that much yet as i stopped working with it since i started the learnaifromscratch.github.io curricculum . Check it out .

>>34627 >what kind of stuff do you make with it? You can replace your bash scripts. Its faster and far more powerful for our use cases (unix and linux people) than python or lua . and its in every linux machine natively. I want to dig more and start actually using it but i learn cs now .

>>32750 I've been working on this for a few days now, somewhat happy with it.

>>34639 I really like something like this, but the colored text seems too bright for the bright background. I would prefer bright pastel on dark background.

>>34639 Ugly

Been using ubuntu MATE for years now, love it, can't customize a lot but i don't have time for that either way >>32750 peppermint allways caught my attention, looks nice :) >>32762 acceptable >>32770 nice resolution, i don't like the rest (also linus says "fuarrrk you, Nvidia") >>32821 Whoa, love the colors of the font, and the wallpaper :) >>32848 Definitely Cute! >>32860 Cool, but the terminal is burning my retina >>32875 Hey baby! love that jojo reference (jk) Looks very nice, Lainon :) >>32899 very nice colors, but how can you read with such transparent terminal and a blue wallpaper? >>32908 very very nice and clean, didn't knew bsd could look so great :D i don't like seeing Lain sad, tho >>32984 lain@cyberia, that's so cool :o also i like your wallpaper :) >>33065 pls uninstall this and use a free OS instead, you'll be happier, we have a cow, a penguin, and beastie >>33077 i don't really like the layout, but would like to see a neofetch screenshot >>33115 indeed, very comfy :) also i would like to try void some day >>33174 i love your Desktop <3 >>33198 simple, i like it >>33239 Love the colors >>33245 sup! looking classic today! >>33267 Joey, i really really love how everything looks! Also thanks for the wallpaper!! >>33473 :q haha >>33478 cleanest desktop >>33929 1337, super cool looking >>34486 cute as a geecko >>34626 i think this is my favourite of all i've seen over here wich cpu you have? and, where did you got that Lain image? >>34639 A E S T H E T I C >>

>>34717 No need to scroll down your terminal, if you don't want your hostname and user to be shown then exec neofetch with --disable title also nice Gurren Lagann bg

>>34730 What the fuarrrk I meant to post this

>>34717 I am >>32770 . I switched from Mint to >>33801 What was wrong with the Mint desktop? I can't seem to get an answer on it.

>>34731 Yeah but nothing wrong with Pigpen.

>>34717 >wich cpu you have? Its a very old acer laptop from around 2005. It has a intel celeron m 440 / 2 gigs of ram / 60 gb of stockage .

>>34717 >where did you got that Lain image? Pinterest has a really good recommendtation algorith.

>>34626 >AL QU~ ???

>>32750 rate my minimalist screen

>>32984 reminds me of haiku.

>>32750 Current Desktop, looking for some tips to improve, I'm relatively new to Linux in general, but I think I've made it look decent.

>>34811 I prefer darker backgrounds but I love the minimalism. 10/10

Here it is.

i am just getting into i3 and its very comfy, especially with nnn and cmus installed

>>34526 It's pretty much the same as using ksh in my experience

>>34729 Thanks! i didn't knew that parameter :) Also, Yes, i love TTGL! thanks for the compliment :)

>>34740 well, on >>32770 i din't liked the background, i usually dislike images of alternative Lains that aren't the real one, or images of Lain with a sad face also >>33801 looks has a more clean set of icons on the desktop (less is more sometimes)

>>34745 very nice, i have an Atom n450 on a netbook from 2010, wich is the only portable pc that i have right now love to see old laptops still alive and looking great >> 34746 you got a good point there, forgot about pinterest

>>34837 whoah, nice set of colors, love it

>>32984 PC KO'd :(

>>32860 >>32875 >>32984 >>33065 >>33174 These are cool :)

>>35088 whats that xfce theme?

>>35097 OB-Office & Backwater-Moonlit

arch is so crap. what distro would a openbsd and plan 9 lover like

>>33473 can you post your files for it? also, bitmapped fonts, how do i get them?

>>33929 based and nostalgia pilled what is the - wallpaper - terminal font - terminal theme - wm/de but most importantly the wallpaper and font, love it had a setup like this as a kid when i ran Solaris

>>33907 i can't because qt programs do this to me

>>35047 What counts as an "alternative Lain?"

>>35137 Void (I have to disagree with your arch statement though). Why not just use BSD though?

>>33239 i love this, mind explaining how did you do it?

>>34361 Hi, it's me again! Sorry, I just keep changing my desktop y'know? I realized I hate the mac dock as it forces me to use the mouse to switch between apps, it's very inefficient, so I finally did it and installed a tiling window manager! Here's my first time ricing i3! Feedback would be appreciated! >>34479 agreed >>34486 I like the color of the terminal! >>34516 >>34518 not bad! >>34837 I like it >>34858 love the wallpaper! >>34864 based and Sataniapilled (I gotta try free BSD some time) >>34865 Ey a fellow Aqua Teen Hunger Force Fan! >>35088 nice colors!

>>34717 >>34746 found it https://nitter.net/VisualieArt/status/1198344607140065280

>>34626 >Very nice .Post your asciiart collection lainon I didn't see for a while, sorry about that. I assume it's fine to self-promo as long as it's on-topic, and since you asked: https://concealed.world/Media/Art/_index.php?post=badasciiart.php My ASCII art is pretty bad. I made an Eddie recently that I was unsure whether or not I would share, but I'll attach it here. My half-assed rice is the same as it was last month, except a bit darker and without the terminal transparency.

>>35256 >found it Didnt knew you wanted it sorry . here is a few

>>35256

>>35285 Thanks man .Nice blog

>>32860 long shot - but could you please share the wall anon?

Does anyone do anything interesting to their PS1 (prompt)? Most commonly I see something like '[user@host:~/dir/]$'. Although I find that somewhat superfluous, and just use 'dir $' myself. Stuff that spans multiple lines is equally superfluous. But I got to wondering if there's anything both useful and interesting that anyone does with it. Hopefully this is okay to ask here, I figure this is quite heavily related to the process of ricing.

>>35492 unread email counter, number of items on your todo list. not much you can do besides display some light data.

>>33136 can you sauce the pape by chance?

>>35493 But why would you want that on every prompt? There are better places to present information like that.

Mine isn't heavily riced but it works. I got the backgrounds from a /vis/ thread where they posted pictures of powerlines.

>>35421

>>35499 Do you have that last wall?

>>35551 Here you go. Also here's the thread where I got it from: https://www.lainchan.org/vis/res/5490.html

>>35588 Thanks lainon!

>>34626 Oh, a good library, measure its value in gold In other words, share it

>>35752 >share it Thanks . you want the actual files or just the names ? Anyways i will try to upload it with my soykafty internet . Sorry for the late reply
