Desktop thread

Last thread >>47157 hit bump limit.

>>52424 Only tty on OpenBSD...

moderation kills fun- why would i have to write a message to post my desktop? please pray to god

>>52445 holy fuarrrk it really looks like you piped the data directly to a file, with no aliasing whatsoever, may I ask your method?

>>52466 via imagepipe. Also I intended that low quality picture too.

sway is nice. My config hasn't changed much for a while. It's nice to just use something and feel like it's complete.

>>52424 This is really pretty. What gtk/icon theme are you using, and is this xfce+i3?

>>52445 >>52445 >>52445 Based chink

>>52450 i see that there are more people with asian girls on their desktops sharing my casual browsing / watching a show when I'm on the bus laptop. got like 3 other computers all which have their own thing going I guess...

I find PSX games to look quite good at 2x resolution while still keeping their distinctive dithering and unfiltered textures. Geometry correction is in though, i find the unstable vertices and warped textures very distracting. >>52424 Nicely coordinated wallpaper and colours, it's nice to look at. >>52476 I recently gave it a try, it picked up my i3 config fine enough, but i lost my tray icons and vsync was enable regardless of application settings. Not quite the "drop-in replacement" it's advertised as. Good if it works for you. I quite liked punpun as well, very impactful. >>52504 Why is your uptime null?

>>52424 Only switched to Linux last week I didnt like the direction Win11 was taking (stupid hardware requirements) so i switched. I can get work done without dumbass updates now :)

>>52424 woah this looks clean

>>52504 >>52506 >>52476 I see a lot of Mint and Fedora on this board. I like both but I wonder why there are so many users here.

>>52508 I'm new to Linux, so that's why I'm on Mint I read that it's a just works type of system. I plan to move to Debian11 later

>>52508 Mint is like the good version of Ubuntu, but also super beginner friendly. Fedora is like the good version of Arch/Manjaro. Not quite rolling, but sometimes even more up to date than Arch. I use it because I find making RPM packages really easy and heavily use copr.

>>52508 it literally just works

>>52476 *tips fedora*

I miss the old little nigga on picture 2 like you wouldn't believe.

>>52527 I meant picture 3, fuarrrk

i come here again and see that no one actually posted their desktop, you litrally cannot be using your pc like that

>>52529 Where's your desktop? I can't see it past all those windows.

>>52531 i have not seen my own desktop for weeks wtf bro

>>52527 based nordchad, why is your GPU idling so hot though? might wanna try fixing that

>>52533 I pirated some games and just ran the install scripts without looking at them. Probably got a bitcoin miner on my system.

>>52533 it's an i5 4300u cooled by one thin, short heatpipe and running debian and full gnome installation, no way I can go lower with CPU temps lol. it wasn't idling though, I had like four firefox tabs and emacs daemon running in the background. but I admit, it gets fuarrrking hot. it gets so hot that I had to severely cripple the fan profile in thinkfan to stay sane. now it activates at 75-80 degrees, runs passively otherwise. I couldn't stand the noise, I am pretty sensitive to high pitched noises. who cares if it desolders itself, I want to do a full x240/x250 hackpad in the future anyway. >>52534 not kewl, do the needful

>>52533 >>52548 oh forgot to add, nice rice. KDE chad, I kneel...

>>52424 Hi there what's up? \o/

>>52548 should be more than enough, see my >>52551 is an x230

>>52533 Fyi you can get rid of the chrome tabsearch button if you use ungoogled chromium, with a flag. I really hated how that thing wasn't centered.

>>52552 what are your average temps? on battery, plugged in, docked, idle, mid/heavy load etc.

>>52560 ╭─anon@navi in ~ ╰$ sensors coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +84.0°C Core 0: +84.0°C Core 1: +83.0°C acpitz-acpi-0 Adapter: ACPI interface temp1: +83.0°C Shouldn't be a problem tough

>>52565 eh, not that bad. quite similar to my case, although as I mentioned I run REALLY slow fan speeds, as in picrel.

>>52424 Been using gentoo for 2 now. It has surely been a overwhelmingly good experience.

>>52567 months, I meant.

>>52565 >>52560 picrel is with 17 chrome tabs open as well as Discord, Spotify, Steam, Syncthing and a few other electron apps. I always get triggered when I see anons idling at 70c+ what causes people to have such dogshit thermals? bad paste, poor optimization or just the higher wattage of newer Intel chips?

>>52569 my man you are comparing a desktop to a chinkpad lol, even stock intel cooler beats the soykaf out of average chinkpad cooling solution. you also have the comfort of larger fans so you can run them faster without dealing with high pitched "I am angry" noise every single time you open a fuarrrking browser. in my case I did some maintenance (including repasting, cleaning the fans etc.) and temps dropped by maybe 5 degrees. right now I have 3 firefox tabs (youtube, lain, faceberg), emacs daemon, emacs client, discord and audacious running in the background so it's not too bad.

>>52570 even my Thinkpads don't get that bad though. i've got an x201 that idles around 40c, and a T460s that averages 32-34 on Linux and maybe 38c on MacOS have you tried manual power management? auto-cpufreq can be a lifesaver on older devices

>>52571 I am using tlp, but it has its set of limitations. For example, it only uses two modes - plugged in and on battery. What I mean is it can't dynamically adjust profiles in one mode. Does auto-cpufreq resolve this?

>>52571 >>52572 Oh yeah, one more thing. Speaking of idle temperatures (like really idle, next to no programs running in the background and left without input for a couple of minutes), my thinkpad sits on about 32 to 45 degrees celsius.

>>52477 I actually just grabbed the colors from the wallpaper and made a theme in oomox. Gruvbox light in the terminal. Not using i3 because I like floating. When I feel like using a tiling wm I use DWM.

>>52577 Oh and the icon theme is papirus.

>>52567 What is this amazing looking desktop, and how do i get it?

>>52586 FVWM3 + Windowmaker dockapps + Xearth + GNUstep/Windowmaker icons + Reading a lot of man pages + Reading a lot of configuration files + A lot of headache.

>>52424 rice with basic polybar, fuarrrk minimalism

>>52445 the only desktop itt that belongs on lainchan

>>>52445 It's me. I downloaded xorg and other things. default fvwm is enough comfy for me.

>>52506 Pro tip you can get rid of the title bar in firefox by going more tools > customise toolbar for that crucial extra 20px Also, install the Firefox UI Fix from black7375 to get non idiotic UI back

>>52506 I'm glad you tried Mint first and not one of the other meme options thrown around that scare people away

>>52720 >get non idiotic UI back You are mistaken, the only way to get a non-idiotic UI back these days is to switch to Palemoon.

>>52723 >using malepeen Ain't happening chief, I will switch to Google Chrome before I touch this crap ever again. Especially after the whole drama with that manchild tobin.

>>52724 So you'll take an assraping by a company with a list of crimes so large you can't even enumerate them all rather than some drama involving one person? You cannot seriously argue that some of the furry's questionable decisions are in any way comparable to the nightmarish hellworld that Google has unleashed upon the web. I don't understand you at all, lainon.

>>52728 I was just being dramatic, I won't even touch ungoogled-chromium. But the point still stands, this retard and his cattle made me so allergic to this project I would prefer literally any browser over theirs. At least chromium and mozilla aren't claiming false DMCAs and taking down projects for no reason.

>>52730 Well you are just lying

rate my desktop and choice of distrobution

>>52733 did i really forget to add the desktop? here, have a good book

>>52567 >>52594 >A lot of headache Yeah I used to enjoy my WM setup on Guix a lot too but I just can't be bothered to rice these days. I spent more time ricing than using the computer...

can someone explain to me what is the obsession with "off black" colors? Drives me absolutely nuts. Why is everyone's terminal like 1e1e1e or 111111 or whatever, just have it be pure black and the text pure white. I can't stand it why would you make things less readable less contrast more annoying and blinding just have it be fuarrrking black. Only thing worse that that is rounded corners. /rant also contribootin

>>52754 My terminal background is #151515 so that on worse displays it looks nicer such as a laptop.

>>52754 I find pure colours a bit distracting, for whatever reason slightly muted off colours don't have the same effect, they don't distract me in the same way which is what I want

>>52732 What windows decorations are those?

>>52742 Can you post the wallpaper? Looks cool as fuarrrk.

>>52759 https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1249341/ This.

I am horribly allergic to cats. It is really quite bad. From exposure in the past I had; vomited, broke out into hives, had a nose-bleed, had an itchy throat and eyes, etc.

>>52754 whats with the almost black text bro

>>52773 im going to be honest, I put the wrong colour in my config by accident and never bothered to change it.

>>52720 Thanks ill be sure to try >>52721 Thanks lol I made sure to do some amount of research before choosing because i really wanted to love Linux

I still remember playing this version way back when. Oh, the memories.

>>52811 have you been feeling nostalgic lately, anon?

>>52979 post qmmp skin, very cute

>>52979 what gtk theme is that? i love the icons!

>>53000 https://www.deviantart.com/luigihann/art/Poolside-Winamp-Skin-867756411 Lainchan won't let me post the skin directly since it's a .wsz file. If you don't want to log on to dA, you can try to find it on here somewhere: https://archive.org/details/winampskins >>53003 The GTK and Qt/Plasma themes are both Dracula theme. The icons are "Vimix White."

>>52424 Hello fellow gundam enjoyers.

i have no idea what to do after adding alpha patch. maybe i need to start making a list what to read and hopefully learn something.

I tried making my manjaro linux look like ubuntu

>>53089 I see that you're using dvorak as your keyboard layout. Could you tell us a little bit about your experience and how it for you at the beginning ?

>>53118 if you can change the icons too it will look almost the same.

>>53127 Sure. I never learned how to touch type on qwerty. I managed to reach maybe 40 WPM (being generous) with hunt and peck, but every time I tried to learn to type properly, I would fall back into my old habits. Switching to dvorak helped me to start fresh. I have no clue if it's actually faster, but I do find it a lot more comfortable, and it was necessary to erase my poor training. I'm not sure if I'd choose dvorak if I had to do it again, because it does have its drawbacks, but I don't think that another switch would be worth it, and I still think that dvorak is the most comfortable for me. The thing about dvorak is that it's basically unusable if you don't touch type with it. The whole point of the layout is to alternate your hands, so if you try to hunt and peck you'll be going back and forth and it will be very uncomfortable. Basically, dvorak forced me to touch type. The way I learned to use it was by setting it as my only layout (I can't recommend this if you have to use a computer for work, I didn't at the time). At first I was really slow (less than 10 WPM slow). I knew that I didn't want to hunt and peck anymore, so I didn't even bother switching my keycaps around. I simply hit keys until I found what I was looking for. I did my usual forum posting, imageboard posting and irc chatting until I more or less memorised the layout, and then I started training speed. It was rough, but at a certain point, it just clicked. I can't even really remember what it was like not knowing dvorak. I've been using dvorak for around six years now. I get about 80 WPM. I could probably get ~95 if I trained more, but honestly I don't feel like it's necessary. There have been drawbacks. Shortcut keys for copy and paste in particular were annoying until I started using vim (which is actually better on dvorak imo). I find that most shortcuts are pneumonic though, so I don't think it affects it too much. It's also a bit heavy on the middle column of the keyboard for 'I' and 'D', which can be uncomfortable for some people. I also can't really use other people's computers for long periods of time without switching the layout. I'm not much of a gamer, but I know that default keybinds in most games are unusable on dvorak. However, I've been very satisfied with it, and I've never felt a desire to switch back to qwerty, or even to use a layout that's more similar to it, like colemak or norman. I feel like switching layouts all the time would have diminishing returns anyway though. Anyway, that's my blogpost. If you're looking to switch, I would only say to do it if you can't touch type or if you have really bad habits on qwerty. The actual benefits are either negligible in the case of speed, or subjective in the case of comfort. tl;dr I love dvorak and I've gotten a lot of mileage out of it, but it was pretty rough going at first.

>>53139 Dvorak was great until I had to type on someone else's computer. Went back to qwerty after that event.

>>53118 Replace plank with dockbarx.

I just installed LXLE on this new laptop 3 minutes ago.

>>52424 I like those icons OP I can't tell what they are could you provide a link or name >>52527 Awesome wallpaper could you share?

I am a simple man. I do simple things where simple can.

>>53149 Interesting wallpaper. What's that?

>>53161 Looks like KDE 5 has finally become nice enough to recommend to normal users. How's the stability/polish? Especially with this whole Wayland garbage (which, from what I understand, is coming to FreeBSD as well)? Wonder when/if the lowlatency fork will be merged, too. At least, it's not GNOME 3.

>>53178 I can only speak for my current hardware/distro, but KDE Plasma on Fedora 34 on my all-intel-chipset laptop is really really stable and fast. And it looks really good. (Planning the upgrade to Fedora 35 tomorrow after I'm back from a short trip. I never do OS upgrades just before a trip. That's asking for trouble.) KDE has also gotten really lightweight on system resources. It's my go-to choice now when I rehabilitate the old Windows computers of friends and family to Linux. Most of what they do is on the web anyway, and once I explain that using Linux means that Microsoft can never ever cause them headaches again, they're usually on board with the change.

>>52742 >Yeah I used to enjoy my WM setup on Guix a lot too but I just can't be bothered to rice these days. I spent more time ricing than using the computer... You don't have to "rice" anything. People have been running X with a window manager long until about 2000. Or perhaps I'm missing something? But in any case, you don't have to rice anything. :)

>>53144 dotfiles?

>>53185 >outline instead of bitmap font >at that size Mate. >i3 It's okay when you don't want to bother, but I switched to bspwm and never looked back, i3 doesn't play nice with the UNIX philosophy.

>>53187 >>outline instead of bitmap font >>at that size >Mate. Why should I use bitmap? I don't get it. >It's okay when you don't want to bother, but I switched to bspwm and never looked back, i3 doesn't play nice with the UNIX philosophy. You mean because it does floating / stacking / tabbing / tiling? That's a feature for me. I'm glad it's the first one I tried. Except i3, I only tried dwm as far as tiling wms go and didn't like it.

>>53187 >doesn't play nice with the UNIX philosophy What exactly do you mean by that? i3 doesn't do do much beyond managing windows, which it does quite well.

>>53196 >>53189 Unlike bspwm, it manages windows, hotkeys, startup commands, includes a bar and has its own configuration file format instead of using its IPC capabilities. You want hotkeys? sxhkd. Startup commands? .xinitrc/.xprofile. Bar? lemonbar. To elaborate a bit on the IPC thing, bspwm is a true UNIX daemon, doing everything it can via IPC (including window management, except for mouse events), which means that all configuration can be changed at runtime. i3's IPC is for read only stuff like property getting; not to mention that it soykafs on the UNIX philosophy by using a contraption like JSON when it's not needed and can't be parse by standard tools. Get a look at these manpage, to get and idea of the difference in IPC power: https://man.archlinux.org/man/i3-msg.1.en https://man.archlinux.org/man/bspwm.1.en Bspwm even manages to be more powerful (cf external_rules) while being >10 times lighter (tarball size, not even counting the way larger dependency tree).

>>53189 >Why should I use bitmap? I don't get it. Easier on the eyes at those font sizes/screen density. Try terminus, which is one of the most popular bitmap fonts.

>>53229 Unfortunately, my terminal uses pango and pango no longers supports bitmap fonts.

I just wanted to post about (and wage slave) LXQT. I believe that LXQT is the future of low-cholesterol desktop environments. I feel that Qt is better than GTK. https://github.com/lxqt

>>53229 Actually it does, you just need your distribution to distribute them in OTB format too. >>53236 Too bad Qt itself is a C++ abomination on the level of Boost. Personally, I prefer Tk.

>>53245 Nice, could you post the wallpaper? Lemonbar is nicely minimal, but uses a strangely big font size. Strange that someone who seems to value minimalism use truetype fonts and a binary distro, though. >MP3 When Vorbis, AAC and Opus exist, mpleb3 is sad. It's like seeing someone use Xvid, to me.

>>52424 It actually works better than I expected.

>>53166 nice desktop, what's the music player? ncmpccpp? could you link the config?

>>53252 >Lemonbar is nicely minimal, but uses a strangely big font size. I set the font size bigger than default value. That font is `Iosevka' btw.

>>53260 It's moc(mocp), almost only music player that can sort music by file dir and not album/artist soykaf Config dir: https://files.catbox.moe/x5vet6.gz

>>52445 How do you use that whiteboard if it's right behind your monitor past your desk?

really liking this but of course ill probably distrohop soon

>>53167 It appears to be some rocks and trees. It came with LXLE.

>>53291 I use it as an sticky note. So I didn't attached it on convenient position. But on the conspicuous position.

>>53185 my Xubuntu laptop

>>53178 KDE for me works better for my use cases and I'm familiar with it enough to run it on all my systems, be it FreeBSD, Debian, or Arch. Its stable, I'm huge fan of the "Anniversary Edition" and I honestly love KDE's software. It has a lot of mathematical / Scientific software.

>>53294 which DE is that?

asking for validation anons

>>53431 That whole setup including the application list screams "Windows normal user's first ricing" instead of true minimalism. I suggest you choose between true hacker environment (which needs good programming and/or scripting knowledge along with a good amount of time and effort) like bspwm/stumpwm/herbstluftwm/cwm/(c)twm/... or "not tailored made, but not too much in my way" stuff like KDE.

>>53432 Sorry if I appear to be harsh, I may not be made for Lainchan's power level.

>>53433 Don't listen to him lainon, use whatever suits your workflow the best.

>>53432 real poster here, not this one >>53433 this clearly isn't "le 1st rice", it's dwm patched from scratch with ~ 10 patches (bc vanilla isn't really usable). Now, being in a glitterboy-like university, I HAVE to use ms teams, zoom, dicksword and glowing thing like that. Considering polybar, rofi launcher and "not minimalistic compositing stuff and colors", it's just nicer to look at than using plain dmenu, dmwblocks and muh minimal stuff. Also, not very resource hungry. Stop being a glitterboy and admit that window managers aren't really hacker things, you have tons of dotfiles and tut videos that help you set up whatever in no time Also, I never could set up KDE properly in Artix open-rc or runit.

back to linux now. icewm is fun and simple to use.

>>53435 >Stop being a glitterboy and admit that window managers aren't really hacker things Some are, mostly those that force you to understand your system and program a little bit (e.g. stumpwm). But it's mostly that some WM are hacker compatible (IPC), they're not hacker things, indeed. >brave/firefox Spyware and garbage. Try qutebrowser or even better, nyxt (even though I do have firefox-bin installed for when an important website breaks with those). >nitrogen That's gay garbage, why would you need a GUI to set a wallpaper? xsetroot/hsetroot/xwallpaper. But as I said, I was a bit harsh. The way too big gaps wasting precious space of your tiny screen is probably what made the biggest impression, to be honest.

>>53161 is FreeBSD fun just asking

>>53299 its xfce with the chicago 95 theme

>>53447 I use qutebrowser and surf, the brave is for testing my homepage on chromium based bullshit. "Zen" isn't firefox, it's my soykafty program that just uses firefox icon. Big gaps are gay, but I was kinda reddit about it and posted screenshot like this, I usually turn the gaps off because x230 is tiny As an excuse for nitrogen, I kinda like to see all my wallpapers lined up when i choose them. If that can even pass as an exuse

>>53446 How did they manage to make the 9front logo even worse? I hate all these fuarrrking troon invaders.

It doesn't need much to look better and work well on small screens. It should definitely ship with lollypop by default, it's such a nice player.

>>53255 How stable is Artix with GNOME? I tried Plasma few times, but no luck with theming, my apps didn't want to save the configuration. I tried many things from arch wiki, but always the same problem. Also, did you do base install or you downloaded the iso with GNOME (which was pretty old last time I checked)?

>>53605 It's pretty rock solid. I did notice a few bugs that I didn't see on other systems, mostly to do with systemd, but they were relatively minor. I couldn't set my keyboard layout in GDM, and having gnome-logs causes issues, so I had to uninstall it. Otherwise though, the only issues I encountered were with GNOME, not Artix. The GNOME iso is pretty old, so I installed the mate iso and installed GNOME and GDM onto it. I think that lightdm has issues with GNOME.

>>53255 can you share the name of this theme?

>>53659 very nice lain do tell of your `rc` experience, is it worth learning? also gib wallpaper

>>53651 It's the default Artix linux theme, artix-dark.

>>53790 very clean, based lain

>>53790 Looks nice, but I can't imagine that this is useful. Can you make a "real-life" screenshot, that is not carefully assembled to look aesthetically pleasing?

>>53918 How well does CDE work in 2021?

>>53918 I love the aesthetic of CDE/FVWM, but floating window managers just feel incredibly clunky to use for me and its configuration files are horribly ugly and obtuse to me after using StumpWM for a long time. something with the classic aesthetic of CDE but written in common lisp and with the same feel as StumpWM would be god tier >>53922 NsCDE exists specifically to make CDE easier to use on modern Linux distros: https://github.com/NsCDE/NsCDE

>>53932 >classic aesthetic of CDE but written in common lisp and with the same feel as StumpWM would be god tier Couldn't you just patch StumpWM to have a motif window decoration in floating mode and maybe even make the modeline work and look like the CDE panel? It would probably be a bit of work, but StumpWM's code isn't that hard to understand, in my opinion.

>>54173 Real desktops only please.

>>54181 What if that's his desktop and its just the wallpaper.

>>54188 Irrelevent. Even if it is his wallpaper, that doesn't change that he posted a screenshot from an anime showing a desktop, not his desktop.

>>54197 anime desktops have some really good ideas in them sometimes maybe not this one though, gomen

>>53155 very cool. gib pape pl0x?

>>54224 >>53659 rc isn't special, but much simple. Sadly, rc has an compatibility issue at showing my native language. So I come back to bash. But I'm still enjoying rc scripting.

>>52424 Changed some stuff.

I changed my setttings little bit

>>54197 >posted a screenshot from an anime showing a desktop, not his desktop That's all most of you posers ever do: post a wallpaper accompanying a completely unused, empty desktop. It's a wonder if any of you even use your computers at all.

>>54337 I don't see anything wrong with cleaning your desktop or prettifying it before taking a screenshot of it. After all, if I wanted to see a cluttered desktop, I could go to my grandmother's house. What I do have a problem with is a poster who doesn't show his desktop at all.

>>54337 Not everyone has a desktop-centric workflow. I sure don't.

>>54337 most of the people ITT are "look at me, aint my thing pretty" because they didn't get any attention from their parents when they were kids ignore these threads, nobody cares about how their desktops look

>>52754 I'd really like to have a background like that, but I don't want to risk it in public. But this one is nice too, and a good balance.

>>54391 Yes, definitely it's a good idea to put it at least 2 meters away. Probably not necessary if you're using a metal case but those are rare these days.

I rotated my monitor recently. My monitor is 27 inch, that means it's little bit tall when I use it vertical. But it has benefit when reading books, looking source codes and web browsing. But watching videos is kinda suck. Also I recognized I concentrate only 1/2 lower side of this monitor because it too tall to look comfortable. So i think I'm using this wide screen as an 4:3 screen monitor. Anyone using main monitor vetically like me?

>>55949 I think it's bad ergonomics to have to look up to see the top of your screen. The top should be level with your eyes. If I had a vertical monitor I wouldn't want it to be any more than 17 inches or so vertically. Also, it looks like you have a keyboard-based workflow, but for anyone who uses a mouse, vertical mouse movement is a lot less natural than horizontal, so it's best to minimize vertical space in that case. I do think that monitors should be taller though. I'm thinking of getting a 4:3 or 3:2 screen. My ideal would be 1:1, but they're rare.

>>55946 can you drop the background of the second ss? love cityscapes and lain, would be perfect

>>55958 Indeed. I felt my eyes getting tired faster than before. :( I should change my monitor to 4:3, but buying another one even though I have already one which works really well is wasting money for me

>>55964 Could you stop posting this image you found on Reddit everywhere? I doubt it's yours, but even if it is, surely your setup has changed somewhat since a year ago.

>>52424 rate MEEEEEEE nobody ever rates me

>>56022 >RATE MEEEH! 2/10 -1 point for using debian-based distro -2 points for using GTK desktop environment -5 points for being a bitch

>>56022 Im not op and my desktop is just a black rectangly but Ill give rating a whirl why not 6.2/10 >pros meh, it works. Colourscheme is pretty enough, I think I used something like that back in my ricer days, for a time anyway. Can't see much of the background but its alright. Nothing too special, but not bad. >cons man I hate that light grey on baby blue you've got there that kills me eyes. Fix that and you'd be a solid 7. Colourscheme also could agree a bit better with the background, or vice versa.

>>56022 3/10 your colourscheme does not match your background at all. It would look better with a colourscheme that was less blue like gruvbox or badwolf. Or maybe something purplish like Dracula, but I think you'd do best with a warm colourscheme. Also the text up top should be made a different colour to be more readable. This is a nitpick, but I also think that the power button on the right of the panel is too big. What font is that? I don't really care, it looks like soykaf. The heights are all off, and the slashes look like a glitch.

>>52424 running fedora 35 on my crappy ideapad. cpu is an i3-10110u which is fine for most stuff and even a single VM running Win10 LTSC. planning to upgrade the screen to 1080p and the ram to 36gb from 8.

Henlo, /Ω/ I'm reading this book on X11/Motif. I want to write some GUI apps in that old toolkit library.

fresh install not sure what to do this time. Maybe keep it simple

Hello /Ω/ , i'm working on what's gonna be my main desktop some day :D I love jwm, and i'm trying to replicate my current Desktop layout (MATE/Gnome2)

>>56405 I want to fuarrrk hooni up the ass.

>>56427 I too want to fuarrrk hooni.

>>56428 I don't think the thread goes about that

>>52424 nethack is cool :-)

>>56422 Looks minimally good. I always thought jwm was written in Java, I guess I should try it out.

>>56430 I guess you are right but not for me.

>>56445 Terminals look out of place, don't they? Maybe if the wallpaper was a bunch of old CRTs it would look much better. I like them both separated tho :)

>>52424 Can't find a music player I like, so I'm back to making scripts to play music from Acme. I really need to learn rc at some point.

>>56448 Yeah! try it out; the config is stored in a single dotfile with an XML structure, so it's very readable and easy to configure

>>56503 >XML >very readable

>>56504 Look at the menu config and tell me if this is not readable: <RootMenu onroot="1" height="22"> <!--<Include>/etc/jwm/debian-menu</Include>--> <Program icon="terminal.svg" label="Terminal">lxterminal</Program> <Program icon="system-file-manager.svg" label="File Manager">thunar</Program> <Program icon="icecat.svg" label="Iceweasel">iceweasel</Program> <Program icon="icecat.svg" label="Iceweasel (private window)">iceweasel --private-window</Program> <Program icon="leafpad.svg" label="Leafpad">leafpad</Program> </RootMenu> If you don't even know how to read an xml, you shouldn't attempt to use a wm by itself at all, just stick with wm + de

>>56507 It looks ugly. XML is less readable than a .ini file or JSON or YAML.

>>56507 xml is just horribly outdated and a total eyesore to look at, there's so many better alternatives that i wish these WMs would adopt for the sake of user's sanity but alas.

>>56525 Retarded glitterboy, acme is an user interface unto itself

>>56521 >using a serialization format for config files Congratulations for being this dumb.

>>56531 mfw when config file is a serialized data structure. Some outrageous programs dumb platform dependent binary data to disk. Thats dumb. Serializing data to disk is what an actual program is. >neurosuggesting yaml, json, UCL, RFC822 arn't serialization formats. >neurosuggesting files arn't byte streams

I took Gruvbox pill. But I'm considering move to gruvbox light theme.

>>56525 There is also an alternative user interface, acme(4), that some people use as their editor. — Geoff Collyer

>>56610 >9front & BLM I saw that on their webpage and was not sure if it wasn't just a troll. They often are trollish, but on the other hand lots of germans. Is there more clear info indicating their true stance on such Luminaries as St. Floyd ?

>>56533 See bspwmrc for how it's done, knuckle dragger.

>>56407 Drop the wallpaper lainon <3

>>56618 They're not trolling. They also say that the people in suckless are fascists. Normally, I wouldn't care about the BLM virtue signalling but that's just ridiculous. Really says something about them.

>>56618 one developer got kicked out of the project for saying "tranny" or something in the IRC or mailing-list. he got back after he apologized.

>>56356 can you post the pic of the gamer girl pls ? also nice borders on sxiv how do you make your terminal looks like that ? tmux ? and the little menu in the right?

>>56591 >not using amfora to read the gemini space ngm

>>56722 Lagrange is quite cool and minimal. It doesn't require much dependency. Only mpg123 on my current Void desktop.

Damn. My void was died. Thankfully there's a old backup files which are essential configs what I used.

>>56721 >how do you make your terminal looks like that ? tmux ? No, that's a feature of the wm I'm using, shod. It can tile windows inside a floating window container. Kinda like tmux, but it works with other windows, not only terminals. >and the little menu in the right? That's πmenu: https://github.com/phillbush/pmenu

>>56508 >>56516 you guys are actually retarded. XML is ugly and annoying to write but it sure as fuarrrk is one of the most verbose and readable syntax's out these. does that make it good, in my opinion? hell no.

>>56728 How can you look at that wallpaper and not want to poke your eyes out?

>>56729 thanks kind lainon

>>56723 you should definitely try amfora+cool_retro_terminal

i feel like i posted here before but i cant remember. oh well...

>>56842 >mullvad-us200 your IP address and browsing history has been logged and reported to the FBI. Mullvad and all other VPNs are compromised and cannot be trusted. Use Tor/I2P instead. >napster OBEY YOUR NAPSTER! NAPSTER!

>>56843 i trust mullvad more than my ISP and more than a random tor exit for not getting tracked on daily life activities cause i don't really do anything that is my security model, i am the cloak traffic to prevent the feds from scooping up a VPN entirely because "it's mostly criminal activity" (also captcha > me) if the feds really want me for some reason, i'm fuarrrked anyway :D

>>56763 Yup, that's the whole point; XML is readable. I don't get why people get scared so easily when they see some verbose language.

>>56846 You don't get it. Mullvad is probably sharing all of your traffic with your ISP and every 3-letter agency. All VPNs probably do that.

I give up to spend my time for ricing, edit shell rc script and other similar things. I considered go back to Windows, but I'm really bother at M$. So I installed ubuntu, but unity. I'm happy

>>56854 I liked Unity but it was slow on my old laptop, also that yaru theme looks neat.

>>56854 Unity is quite nice, I just wish it wasn't so hopelessly tied to Ubuntu...

>>56858 Could you please post your background picture? :)

>>56865 Of course! enjoy :)
