>>61601 hit bump limit Share your non-pony desktop; extra points if you're running your OS on unusual or "old" hardware

It's up to you if this counts as unusual hardware, dumb rich people mac users are definitely rare where i live. I tried to do the part for the aesthetic even if i don't have any crapple nostalgia. Wallpaper courtesy of the Korea Computer Center.

simple setup, i don't like flash rices, minimal is better

>>67552 windows pc minmal as well

>>67531 Hi, Same Machine, same installation and same User. Works like charme, I switch, whenever I feel like it. They don't interfer with each other

>>67553 I would post my minimal i3, but the most interesting thing there would be my i3status line.

Not unusual hardware but I bought a Framework laptop. Would be a "perfect" laptop for me if the battery life wasn't so poor. I used to hate gnome for being bloated and terrible on a desktop, but for trackpad use it's great.

Using Tails. Not for privacy reasons even though I do like roleplaying as an elite most wanted hackerman. Rather I wanted to seperate work and school from all the random web surfing i do for fun. Tails is a pretty good live usb operating system, and all the privacy things it encourages are just a plus.

>>67563 How is the framework as a workhorse machine, is it loud in regular use? I'm very tempted by it, there are definitely some downsides with it, no s3 sleepstate and the low number of ports, but I like the design and I like the aspect ratio

>>67578 I can only speak for linux distros with auto-cpufreq and thermald installed, but it depends on what you mean by workhorse. If you're planning to do word processing/web browsing/video playback or all three at once it's completely silent. I'm no wizard and I've only had to compile a couple packages on here so I can't speak for that sort of stuff. But the second you make the iGPU do some work, prepare for takeoff. IMO unless you need new laptop hardware save your money for now.

botnet laptop in korea, which means it can't be fit in well with lainchan. please stop abusing me........

>>67660 I NEED THAT WALLPAPER

>>67668 Can't you search? https://twitter.com/xilmo1/status/1516267750200467461

>>67572 Do have another OS installed other than Tails? Or is it your main OS.

---------------------- Lainchan OS Enterprise ----------------------

>>67669 thank you lainon >>67673 why not just use the windows integrated start? it doesn't seem that bad anymore if you unpin all tiles and disable the online search

>>67708 Great! Thanks lainon!

>>67711 Oh, I have quite a similar device somewhere in the closet. I wasn't using it much because of some hardware issues with linux. How well does it deal with basic tasks now?

>>67720 It manages OK. Certainly not fast but usable for day to day tasks.

すごいお兄ちゃんデスクトップかわいい? ありますでございます、ウグウ

>>67531 Got a t500 for free and the dock too.

>>67722 This user opening his desktop

here's my desktop. a couple of my internet friends joke about me looking like a stereotypical hacker from the 90s haha.

>>67754 What's that DE/WM? My uni lecturer used to have those same square buttons in the top right.

>>67706 Looks great for me, but your font's look messy

>>67645 That's pretty much all I need from a laptop yeah, I just can't bring myself to buy yet another thinkpad, my current one is ancient and dying but the more modern ones are so boring and aren't good value for money anymore.

>>67706 Name of the font ? Looks like Spleen to me.

first screenshot is my current desktop, and the second one is a window maker setup i had a few years ago on an old laptop. >>67733 very nice. i've also used devuan+window maker in the past on an older 32bit pc, i was surprised that they had the drivers for my nvidia card from 2004 or so on the repos. >>67754 cozy slackware + window maker setup. how's milkytraker? i want to start making music with a tracker. there's also octamed but i don't know which one is better.

I took the Cutlerpill. I'm sorry. (yes i know its an old image)

>>67560 What software did you use to change the window design in the top image?

>>67845 it's the "Chicago95" Theme https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Yet another basic dwm setup, not too fond of things like compositors or riced out systems anymore.

>>67859 >not too fond of things like compositors or riced out systems anymore. How come?

hi dataminers :D not much to say here. i set up timeshift a while back in anticipation of mom canceling my meetings but everything just werks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>67877 is that an open-shell theme or those blackbox forks?

>>67878 openshell built-in theme.

>>67826 thank you! and milkytracker works pretty well, but the song playing is not mine. and for tracker choice, you should go with milkytracker since it's similar to most trackers. i haven't used octamed, but if you have a spare amiga around or are fine with using an amiga emulator, it's great with all of its features and all. also, nice setups too! i really like that arch one.

>>67884 nice another oBSD user. i am setting my own sys up rn so it's kinda soykafty looking but it's doing the job mostly.

>>67563 no way brother you have the same wallpaper as me... gud taste

>>67531 macOS and github.com/9fans/plan9port

>>68003 Nice, i'm using the same wallpaper, different color, on another pc atm

>>68016 Did you ever post it on Lainchan? I remember I found it on here awhile ago.

>>68339 bitmap fonts are very comfy the one i use is terminus, although that's mostly because i don't know any other good bitmap fonts

>>68357 >good bitmap fonts For terminal i use uw-ttyp0 For other uses tamzen because it has many widths Openbsd's spleen is also good but it lacks bold face and italics Then there is always Xorg's fixed font, i don't use it very often but i do prefer it over Terminus

fetch script is my own. color scheme is gruvbox. font is tewi. https://github.com/Lucy/tewi-font >>67706 looks really good! >>67754 based tracker user. awesome windowmaker setup too! >>67826 i envy this amount of SOVL, also tasty window frames >:3 >>67859 comfy! what font is that on the terminal? >>68358 i'm curious, did you get uw-ttyp0 to work with cyrillic and œ, æ, etc? what targets did you use to build it? mine looks like third picrel. i only added the k8r encoding.

A screenshot, as promised. There's a long fall after jumping ship from Mint to dwm Void, but I enjoy having to add functionality for once rather than removing it. Copy ninja-ed the status bar, 'cause I liked it so much. >>68408 Now this is quality craft. That's vifm, right? Might have to second-guess passing over it as a file manager.

>>68408 I know I'm late but can I please have that wallpaper?

>>68415 no, that's lf :) it doesn't display images like that by default, so i copied luke smith's script that uses ueberzug for that. >>68509 sure! here's the original image too.

>>68566 What windows manager is that? That setup looks really comfy.

>>68566 Nice to see you posting again on here :) how's the project going so far?

hate 4chan now (body was too short.)

Another Void/dwm user The body was too short or too empty.

>>67531 i miss GNOME 2, man. I miss it a lot

>>70615 yeah i miss it that's why i'm using MATE now

>>70684 What font are you using?

What is it that non-phony means my dear friends?

>>70518 How did you manage to show cover art in cmus ? All the soykafs I tried failed miserably.

>>70701 images in terminals are achieved with haxx, either it hooks into the x server to draw the art relative to the term window, or it encodes the image into a mess of colour and escape codes, or it uses a terminal emulator specific extension to load and render the image as an overlay. because of this there's a lack of unified standards and libraries most apps have ad hoc support or it's only implemented in a fork. troubleshooting random software on a random environment remotely on a slow board is a big ask, you're probably going to have to compile your own software and deep dive the docs and package configuration of your distribution and installation to acheive this. good luck, have fun, please look up the bug trackers of any software/pr's you test, and welcome to the bleeding edge of development.

>>70697 No problem, I got you covered.

>>70701 >>70703 Can't terminology (a meme term emu) show images? >https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology

>>70739 I have also been in the latter case lately as well. I'm not sure if there is any "need" for bitmaps other than aesthetic purposes. And today I've been using them for editing low-resolution images

>>70579 >it's like second nature to me 4chan or hating 4chan? >>70682 don't have it

>>70685 It's called "tadepe" (but the bold version, not the regular one). You can find it by searching for "tadepe font" on github.

>>70884 its dwm w/ picom. desucklessed with: actualfullscreen attachbottom barpadding bottomstack center colorbar combo cyclelayouts hide_vacant_tags pertag scratchpads stacker sticky swallow vanitygaps the bar is dwmblocks. i want to make it clickable at some point with the statuscmd patch but thats on the back burner rn

>>70886 thanks lainon >body short etc etc

I like WindowMaker. It's comfy and easy to wear.

>>71086 No, but that's configurable. I have a 1 px margin around the desktop that windows can't go into so that I can autoraise the dock/clip when I need them.

>>67531 I have a laptop on linux, desktop on windows, and a macbook. As you can see, customization is not my forte...

>>67877 can you send the wallpaper please?

>>67531 my amateur rice >>68577 are you using a tiling window manager on your phone?

What is the correct colorscheme?

>>71179 whatever the default one is. People(s) designing it actually got paid for the end result. Bonus points for Light variant.

>>71134 Please post your wallpaper lainon, it's very cool

>>70681 That brings me bad memories of trying to get Linux running on my old Radeon HD 4870x2. Terrible graphics support, overheating issues, screen tearing all the fuarrrking time. Has Linux support improved at all for those old HD ATI cards?

>>71262 sorry for the late reply

>>71285 I guess it all comes down to your experiences using it. I have never had any wayland issues whatsoever (at least on my hardware, nvidia users will probably describe a different story), especially regarding tearing which is something I constantly had to deal with X (the only solution I found was to install a compositor, say picom).

>>71285 Check out: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/List_of_software_for_Wayland If you use Sway or Hikari, you won't have much issues. idk about Hyprland. I have used some other Wayland compositors (like LabWC and CageBreak) and they do have some weird issues (like Firefox segfaulting after accessing bookmarks menu). Also, you may want to read through the old Wayland thread >>63336 Also, just try it. Install Sway (aka the de facto standard Wayland compositor). >>71314 >tearing >the only solution I found was to install a compositor, say picom You could also enable TearFree option in Xorg config?

>>71285 Switched to Wayland in late 2022. Zero major issues with it so far, it's pretty good. I posted my rice here before, but I'll post again since this is a new thread and I uh, I changed the colors! Hyprland tabbed windows feature is also very comfy.. I like it a lot. I see no reason to use anything other than Hyprland for my compositor nowdays. I typically use tiled windows but am ss-ing like this so that the wallpaper is somewhat visible.

>>71319 Thank you! Sorry, I don't have it.

Hello. I've never done any desktop ricing. What is a good DE that's entirely customizable? preferably with a scripting language, something like CSS. I would like to put a lot of silly decorations, I want the file manager to be arbitrary gifs, you get my drift. Anything that can getme close to that without incurring in too much boilerplate would be great, I would also like to know how you go about ricing your desktop. Thank you lain.

>>71360 >how you rice I am one of those fellows who's had a plain black 'desktop' for years and years, but I consider my system riced in that I find it extremely comfortable but seemingly no one else can use it at all. My method was just sitting down a couple of times and thinking about what features I wanted/needed/used and tweaking things till I got satisfied with them more or less. For a year or so I did this every few months, and changed things in significant ways, swapped wms several times. Then I changed less and less as I got a better idea of what I liked. Now I can't remember the last time I opened a config to actually change anything (desktop wise that is); I have it pretty much just how I want it and dont need to think about it at all.

>>71360 >What is a good DE that's entirely customizable? Xfce4 or Cinnamon. Xfce4 is more stable in my experience. But I highly recommend using a WM. They offer you more customization options. You probably would love FVWM (or FVWM3) or Awesome WM. On FVWM, you want to use the default config as your starting point: cp /usr/share/fvwm/default-config ~/.fvwm , or you can steal someone's dotfiles. I think Awesome WM might be a little easier to config. >https://awesomewm.org/screenshots/ + https://awesomewm.org/recipes/ >https://www.fvwm.org/Archive/Screenshots/ if you need to learn a tiny bit of Lua for Awesome, read the relevant parts of this: https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html (you only need to know the basics, so reading chapters 1-3 + optionally 4 is enough and you can skip stuff that you don't need to know)

>>71360 https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/GNU/Linux_ricing might be helpful

i ditched KDE and installed window maker on my main machine. i have used window maker in the past and i still have zero issues with it, the only real issues are some programs behaving oddly when they're in fullscreen, and the availability of certain dockapps (though the AUR has some and most of them work)

>>71380 Thank you helpful person. My own research led me to awesome and fvwm too; the latter seems like just what I was expecting. >>71416 it is minimally helpful, as expected from gee

>>67531 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHSLuBt7aB8 lainchan has always had this sorta, 'snobby' vibe to it, idk.

>>71710 This is a website of16 year olds who discovered one half of intelligence (knowledge) and haven't learned how to use the other half (application) well. They can load the gun, but they can't shoot straight. The snobbiness you're picking up is a combination of that, and some newfound self-confidence. This is essentially kindergarten for the "enlightened". Be patient, they'll get there eventually. :-)

Maybe some of you may help me with that. I use Xfce 4.18 and a slightly modified Mint theme. As you can see I have configured Xfwm4 to draw an orange border on focused windows. I want to do the same to the GTK ones but I don't really understand how to tweak that. The theme use GTK 2 and 3 and diving into GTK config files give no clue. Yes I tried to found an answer on internet but no, nothing helped. I know it's something tht can be done because I tried themes that can do that.

>>71718 OK, me being dumbino ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ /********************** * Window Decorations * **********************/ decoration { /* this is your active window*/ border: 1px solid #E8602E; } decoration:backdrop { border: 1px solid #232323; }

I worked a bit on the conky, it now displays album cover from audacious and moc. I like it.

gentoo + base dwm, dont need to change whats perfect

I unironically been content with default xfce appearance for years. Am I mentally ill? Should I seek treatment? Tell me I'm really anxious!!

>>67560 Does WoW actually run on your Linux MInt setup? I thought it had anti-cheat problems that don't like WINE/Proton

>>72120 This is why I never post desktop, I have i3 with default background and customization, there's literally nothing to look at except my work

>>72123 It isn't KDE is it? If it isn't what is it? Also never actually used desktop space ever since I moved to Linux. Even though xfce provides such capabilities. I find desktop space to be utterly useless. I feel so much better when it's just background, not bloated with folders, executables and other junk.

>>72120 Oh my bad bro looks like I posted the wrong screenshot, L.O.L.! Here you go

Been using NixOS, it's pretty comfy once you get past the learning cliff

>>72124 No its Linux Mint, not KDE. I agree that the desktop icons are kinda bloated and lame, but I just keep them there as reminders for things I need to remember, or things I use regularly.

larbs with some simple modifications

>>70730 Can you share this wallpaper, please?

>>67531 Man all these rices are soykaf

>>73166 Hello paulo from 4chin thread

>>73488 Comfy Mint. What DE is it ? Xfce ?

>>67732 can i get that pape pls?

Changed some stuff >>73405 hi

any anon knows how to make w10 looks like this? please...

>>73762 some theme from deviantart + ultrauxthemepatcher + rainmeter + firefoxcss

Tried Wayland again. Previously, I wasn't happy with Hikari (RIP?), Cagebreak or LabWC, so I switched back to Xorg + IceWM (occasionally I also use Ratpoison). This time I tried Wayfire. It's like Compiz but for Wayland. It supports desktop cube and wobbly windows, etc. You can disable plugins in wayfire.ini config file, if you want to get rid of these extra features. If you need a "run-dialog"/program launcher, I recommend bemenu instead of Wofi since Wofi is in life-support mode. If you need a clock, you can set PS1='\h \s\v [\A] \$ ' in your .bashrc config file. You can use https://bash-prompt-generator.org/ to generate a PS1 line for Bash. I don't use a bar, but I heard that Waybar is great option if you need a bar (personally, Alt+Tab is enough for me). The fragmentation in Wayland landscape frustrates me, since there isn't any good OpenBox-like simple stacking Wayland compositor, yet. But there 2 OpenBox clones in the works: LabWC and Waybox, both are heavily beta quality (although LabWC is the more "mature" one of these 2). Wayfire also works pretty much like OpenBox, too. I figured that Wayfire might be more stable, since Raspberry Pi OS switched to using it by default on Raspberry Pi 4 and newer devices. Gentoo wiki seems to confirm my suspicions: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/List_of_software_for_Wayland P.S. I have Chromium running in the background in the neofetch pic. >>73762 Honestly, ricing Windows is not wroth it because it's a uphill battle. Unfortunately, M$ doesn't want to let you to customize Windows too much. But luckily there is GNU/Linux (and *BSD) that allows you to do whatever you want. I recommend you take a look at Awesome WM or something similar. If you don't run Linux at the moment, you can easily create a dual-boot setup. Just download installation iso of Xubuntu. Then you need to use Windows disk management tools to shrink a partition (Linux needs 30 or 60 gigs, or more). Then you need an empty USB flash drive (with 4Gigs or more space) and Rufus. Use Rufus to "burn" the Linux iso to the flash drive and reboot your computer from the flash drive. Finally, point the Linux installer to the free space.

>>73772 what about the file explorer?

>>73775 What frustrated you on LabWC? Iim on it right now and after finally getting a good panel with sfwbar, its perfect as a Openbox replacer to me.

Feeling good about the new desktop

>>73790 Windows theme for general look and 7tsp GUI

>>73805 What a lovely background picture!

>>73762 bug.n is a window manager for windows. you can check it out if you dont want to switch to linux.

debian, wayland and kde plasma.

>>67553 >windowns lower your tone when talking to me

>>73817 thnx fren. its a good one for sure.

>>73775 >>73796 >What frustrated you on LabWC? Firefox would sometimes segfault if you access the bookmarks toolbar (I have tried a lot of other Wayland compositors and this has never happened). But it has been a while since I tried LabWC, so I might give it another shot. I otherwise prefer it over Wayfire or any other Wayland Compositor.

staying taskbar addon is so comfy for me opinions?

nothing really new but I enjoy it.

>>73874 i've used gnome for a long time, has a nice default workflow, but it cant compete with wms. anyway, comfy

>>73874 >gnome >telegram >chromium >steam

>>73943 anon just want to have blue themed icons.

https://www.devuan.org/ it just works™

>>74045 >kde >female >lennart POETTERRRRING!! holy soykaf

>>73943 >telegram alternatives like matrix/xmpp doesnt have much people on them >chromium ungoogled chromium, faster than firefox based browsers >steam give me any alternative for linux gayming

>>74083 I think if someone forked Element to use XMPP instead of Matrix and have proper support for video and audio calls maybe using some code from Mumble for audio quality it might become popular because it would have similar design as Discord while pleasing the people that took issue with Matrix saying it is inferior to XMPP and also drawing in Mumble users. If that is doable or is there something about XMPP that would limit video and audio quality or any other incorrect assumptions ?

>>74086 electron must die. you only really need to implement a fuarrrking sane windowing system and a standard graphical toolkit but of course no one's going to do that because corporations want electron

>>74083 >>steam >give me any alternative for linux gayming https://rutracker.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=1992 https://rutracker.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2059 https://forum.torrminatorr.com/viewforum.php?f=26 https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty

>>74090 That's another thing to keep in mind, you do want lower resource usage but that doesn't really go against the idea of taking design, function and pieces of code from various open source projects till you get a messaging program that can be popular enough to prevail over everything so no more having to choose between having friends or security.

>>74092 this will never happen because corporations want you to have friends, not security. they will always come up with something that will beat whatever you implement in the eyes of masses.

>>74093 Getting donations to hire the same people corporations would otherwise use is not out of the realm of possibility.

>>74106 pls don't be ridiculous. your pittance won't beat a corporation's honeypot

Are unused laptops kept for tinkering with instead of being used as a daily driver allowed? I really like cascading application menus, they feel more efficient.

>>73879 what DE is this? xfce? what theme?

>>74191 Xfce with a custom Mint Dark Orange theme. I use Mint btw. I posted more earlier in the thread.

running hyprland and hybrid with kitty term, as such obligatory transparent terminal and b l u r

>>73879 >yussef kamaal fuarrrkin nice taste lainon

I'd like to use MATE again but XFCE is as comfy... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>74244 Everything you can do in MATE you can do in Xfce with the same or smaller memory footprint.

>>74244 I love Audacious so much, and Xfce to :) >>74225 If you like this, maybe give a try to Emile Londonien, their "Jazz Contenders" EP is sick.

>>74224 Can you share background please?

>>74248 running xfce on a debian vm because lxqt wouldn't run and xfce was the only one which wasn't really really slow. I spend more time in the terminal than the GUI. Also I'm usually using other people's computers so I don't really personalize anything.

>>74249 lxqt in general is pretty dumb, i could make its themes to work, while kvantum was as easy as qt<N>ct

>>74250 * could not sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry

>>74250 Years ago my professor told me to use lxqt because I was complaining about slow GUI performance in my VM. It does perform well on my little VM running inside my potato computer.

>>74252 but it doesn't do what i expect it to do what's the point? my i3 and terminal file manager perform pretty good as well. i was kinda interested in lxqt until i found out i'm not, because perhaps the only thing it has that's of any value is pcmanfm-qt.

>>74249 Who is face.jpeg? Tell me their story.

>>74257 Looks like thispersondoesnotexist. You see enough of them and you get the pattern.

>>74257 I was doing some stuff on social media and I needed a human profile picture to avoid getting derezzed so I just downloaded one from thispersondoesnotexist.com I am not sure exactly how facebook works under the hood but I think there is also a check for if a profile picture contains a human face among other things like account activity etc. In the before times it was pretty easy to use social media to perform automated surveillance of interesting persons but that's not the case anymore. >>74258 Yes lol. This person does not exist.

heard that haiku added an x11 compat layer so i tested my program with it lots of functions are unimplented or don't behave like a real x server, but most stuffs other than the clipboard seem to work after lots of hacks

>>74248 here u r lainon :D i stole it from sum other thread in /vis/ i think

Forgive my default themes. I am not creative enough and am very new to the linux world.

>>74302 Should try some Firefox css :) there's a lot of premade themes out there.

>>74302 very familiar pdf viewer icon. okular? zathura? can't remember! also looks like xfce am i right? >I am not creative enough don't worry limits of my creativeness is hsetroot -root -solid \#000000 . maybe i'm exaggerating because i actually spend an hour configuring my i3bar so it doesn't look too out of place but all in all i just strive to make things to look exactly like they have always looked and when i more or less succeed i call it a day. that is to say minimalism is an option

>>74305 >pdf viewer icon Not him, but that looks like Evince.

>>74304 I tried looking into a few firefox css themes but couldn't decide what to use. >>74307 Yea, it's xfce. I think the pdf icon isn't related to any particular pdf viewer.(I only have Firefox and Zathura for viewing PDFs) I tried checking the icon path and it seems it's this icon /usr/share/icons/elementary/mimes/[size]/application-pdf.svg

>>74315 I recommend https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix

>>74316 Thanks for the link. Will surely look into it.

soykafty copland retro thingy.. too overboard on the NAVI logos?

>>74398 no, looks really good

>>73874 beautiful workstation lainon, I love that you are rocking gnome. here is my gnome workstation that i've been using for years now

Wasup Lain? PuffyOS checks in!

>>74409 Nice to see another BSD user. Also, very nice font!

I wanna get into mpd to look more like a hackerman listening to muzak on the terminal but I can't be bothered to set that up since I'm a lazy ass fuarrrk

>>74448 mpd is far too complicated if you just want to listen to music. I use cmus and it is simple stupid.

>>74450 But then I won't have all those fancy desktop visualization effects and soykaf. On another note, I guess I should also configure the rest of my desktop to have the same color theme as my bar.

>>74450 cmus has all that graphical interface stuff. Just use mpg123, or if you're feeling overcomplicated, mpv.

>>74450 why is mpd too complicated?

>>67859 Holy cow! Send me these dotfiles, pls.

>>74456 It has a server/client structure, this makes it simple stupid to share music over the network but for just listening to music it is too much. Cmus also opens a socket but has no server/client i am aware of.

>>74450 Yes this. I use cmus or Audacious (yes, sometimes a good ol' GUI is just nice). MPD is nice to and interesting to use to listen your music from different places if you run it on a server.

>>74450 Funny that you say that, I wrote my own player because I thought both mpd and cmus were too complicated. https://git.sr.ht/~q3cpma/mus Main thing I wanted is no UI (cmus is out) and no library based on tag parsing (both) that I have to sync regularly; the filesystem is here for that purpose.

>>74450 mpd is easy if you are okay with using mpc and making WM keybindings that trigger various mpc commands. I recommend using a tiling WM or IceWM (a stacking WM) because they are easy to configure. Keyboard shortcuts can be also easily configured in Xfce4 (at least) but I guess you can also use sxhkd (Simple X hotkey daemon) with any WM or DE. If you don't know name of a key, you can use xev (X event viewer). You need to first set up mpd to make mpc work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Music_Player_Daemon All I need is: Start or stop: WinLogo + s = mpc toggle next track : WinLogo + n = mpc next I can do everything else with terminal + mpc (I don't need it that often). Otherwise, DeaDBeeF, Audacious or Quod Libet are also very nice alternatives.

>>74409 nice font, WM? >>74450 I like mpd because it runs as a daemon and has comfy tools such as mpc and ncmpcpp >>74488 I like your approach to software, anon

>>74509 What is this music visualizer thing ? Is it just a "music visualizer" like cavla or is it a complete music player with the music visualizer ?

>>74517 it's just ncmpcpp it has this nice visualizer by default WARNING: you have to set it up

>>74518 Ho, thanks. I messed with ncmpcpp some times ago but never went really deep with it. I finally use cmus because mpd is too "complicated" for my needs. I would like a nice music visualizer in cmus.

>>74519 give ncmpcpp another shot! I used to feel the same way, relying on mpv and youtube for music. But now, dismissing it as "bloated" just seems like an huge cope. Sure, the setup might be a bit annoying initially, but don't let that stop you. Check out my config here: https://codeberg.org/sorzitos/stup/src/branch/main/.config

>>74520 Thanks but I'm thinking to use it on a server when (if) I finally set up one. So I will give another try one day or another for sure. For now it's not a priority for me. But thanks for the advice, I appreciate. For now Audacious is my main player and I only use cmus when I sometimes need that specific cli esthetic and they perfectly fit my needs for now.

seems as if void/dwm is weirdly normal around here

>>73488 Can you please share the theme ?

>>74488 I have seen you at /g/'s desktop threads too. Do you release your software to the public? I really wanted to try ikabooru. Also, which language do you use to write your programs?

>>74531 NTA but here https://chino-chan.gitlab.io/programs.html I hope he releases nepedit soon

>>74535 Thanks lainon. Will he also release ikamp?

Feeling a bit attention whorish tonight, so here we go. Except that neofetch window, this is what my working space usually looks like (split 2 or 3 ways like this).

>>74531 >which language do you use to write your programs? c with my own gui toolkit >>74535 >>74536 nepedit isn't actively developed and ikamp isn't ready for release (ui customization isn't documented, it's not tested with pulseaudio or pipewire, the default audio device must support float32, etc.) for now you can download them from the following links ikamp: https://files.catbox.moe/g051d5.zip nepedit: https://files.catbox.moe/rr64rz.zip for ikamp it accepts commandline switches (-playlist, -scale, -font, -ui) and i added some ui files as examples for now

>>74584 very nice desktop, love the colors, the tiled bg, and the icons (i used to have the same ones back whei used MATE) btw, i don't get why to censor your resolution, everyone here knows you have a 2560×1440 monitor ┐(‘～` )┌

>>74587 I like the "archaic" 90s workstation look >everyone here knows you have a 2560×1440 monitor Might as well spill the juice now that you revealed my super disclosed secret. I also have a 1600*1200 in vertical mode as secondary monitor on the right and an Eizo F931 CRT, set to 1440*1050 on the left. I used it for Vidya before since I can crank the res all the way down without it looking soykaf and of course the high refresh of up to 120hz is nice to have. It's quite burned out unfortunately and 22" 4:3 doesn't make for the best gayming experience. So since getting a "new" GPU I moved on to the big 1440p monitor although it's far from perfect with the soykafty black values and high latency of 5ms. Maybe I can revive the tube of my Eizo somehow and get some more use out of the CRT. It's still the superior display technology. fuarrrk flatscreen poz.

I'm somewhat new to using desktop linux. Actually having control over the little things in the UI and stuff is so fun and relieving!! It feels like I'm using the appropriate tools meant for particular jobs, rather than a pipe wrench and coat hanger for everything.

Changed it to this recently. Liking it.

think twice before you rice wrong step breaks the paradise don't fall for worthless praise consider heavy wight of price

Basic Rice I hope you like it :3

>>74788 Thats the least efficient statusbar i have ever seen. You got 1920 pixels width, why not use most of it?

>>74788 Even though the troon aesthetic is cheaky, I like it

>>74539 Where else can I find you? Do you have any goymedia accounts? I am a beginner and am quite heavily inspired by your programs to learn C myself. How can I contact you?

i'm >>74587 , this is an old screenshot of mine :) >>74588 >I like the "archaic" 90s workstation look same! > also have a 1600*1200 >and an Eizo F931 CRT >I used it for Vidya before since I can crank the res all the way down without it looking soykaf and of course the high refresh of up to 120hz is nice to have. >Maybe I can revive the tube of my Eizo somehow and get some more use out of the CRT. It's still the superior display technology i would love to get a high res ips LCD for productivity, but i can't afford it. ofc it would go in vertical for some nice coding sessions. I recently was able to get a CRT in perfect condition for 2U$D, the guy that sold it to me got it from an university, and it even had the cable protective bag thingy still in place. geometry looks perfect without any config, but the only problem is that it doesn't have the nicest colors. still, it may be one of the best preserved CRTs in my country, since here people doesn't care about old but extremely reliable tech. I use the CRT for playing quake 3 with friends... i run it at 1024x768 @ 85hz, but supposedly it can reach up to 1600*1200 @ 100hz with the right config, but i still haven't managed to get it working through xrandr the monitor is a syncmaster 794v, btw

>>74894 Nice find, anon. >haven't managed to get it working through xrandr I personally use a config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d where I put in all the custom modelines. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Multiple_monitors I use this tool to calculate the modelines. Just make sure it doesn't exceed your maximum vertical refresh. https://arachnoid.com/modelines/ If you can't reach 1600*1200 at that refresh, try a lower resolution at higher refresh. Cheap adapters can't do very high resolutions. I'm not using my CRTs monitors much anymore. For a while I was picking them up all the time from eBay. But for 90s console gayming I'm using a CRT TV nowadays and for PC gaming it's just hard adjusting to those 20" 4:3 when you've been using a widescreen monitor for a certain amount of time. But it's still nice seeing how smooth everything looks every now and then. Good luck anon.

Here's mine. It's bspwm with mostly default settings.

>>74691 do you work for the FBI? nice pape.

>>70684 What tool is that ? the one you are using for draging the video to the window?

>>74998 Not him, it's MPV. https://mpv.io/

>>74999 Alright , thanks a lot lainon :)

I'm very happy with this setup

Little follow-up on >>75169. Here's a proof of concept WM I'm working on. Its window decorations are done with my DG library.

>>75229 very based looks cool

>>75229 Hey mate, yours look a lot like mine...

Been diving into LISP recently. WM is StumpWM, Emacs for most other things. Anyone else doing anything with LISP?

>>75871 > twi-macs But there are a solid amount of lisp diehards on lainch, especially on lambda

>>75885 Comfy minimalist Void anon. I really like it. b0dy 2 short

Gnome nix and popshell on a small laptop I got for free.

>>67531 I got it how I like it as of now. I don't really trawl cmd if I don't have to.

new installation any suggestions for bg/jwm config?

>>77864 Uhh, OP here. I use jwm for gaming :D i can share my .jwmrc if you give me a couple hours. Nice to see another jwm enjoyer

>>70709 I like the subtlety of these papes

Gnome on endeavourOS. I recently just flashed it, but I plan on modding it more later

>>74677 I quite like your setup and colour design, Is that a wm?

>>77867 pls do. that'd be really cool.

>>81346 Why spotify if you have soulseek? Regardless of the reason, maybe you should try this instead: https://nuclearplayer.com >>81317 This is like saying you should use hacked Windows instead of Linux because you know how to set it up, or Bitcoin with privacy extra-steps instead of Monero, what a dumb logic. >>81321 It says I3 in the screenshot

>>81363 >Why spotify if you have soulseek? My guess is that it's for music discovery. There's also (in my experience very buggy spotify client) https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube, and some other (probably more reliable) ones: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui

setted up this a few days ago, really comfy so far i wasn't really able to post from emacs :(

forgot the actual pic lol i'm still not sold on wayland, a bit more variety on floating window managers would be nice not running edge because this is meant to be my home server and desktop at the same time

Hello. I'm sorry it's not as impressive as some of the others here. I made the wallpaper myself but the art isn't mine.

>>81467 Based Devuan enjoyer. Could you post the wallpaper? I would totally use it.

>>81479 Here's with and without the little doggy Nini-tan. I have a habit of putting my favorite anime characters on the default wallpaper, so I also have Chiyo from Azumanga Daioh and Kero from Cardcaptor Sakura papes as well as variants of Nini-tan. I have a deep connection with her.

>>81374 can you post from eww on lainchan?

StartAll11 has made using this soykaf OS more bearable

>>81563 very nice looking! what is that bar/menu?

>>81533 Not that lainon, but it used to be possible at least. Sometimes the dumb spam filter wouldn't allow it though

>>81577 >very nice looking! thx >what is that bar/menu? https://github.com/elkowar/eww

I have two operating systems on my retro gaming computer. Desktop 1: Windows XP SP3 - Does not connect to internet. Desktop 2: Debian Linux w/ Trinity Desktop Environment - For running multiplayer games like Counter-Strike, for running games that have graphics issues on XP.

>>81660 Forgot to mention. The retro gaming computer connects to my main computer via SMB. That way I can quickly transfer over disc images and whatnot from one computer to another.

>>81660 >>81661 Hey, this is awesome. I'm also now using TDE; I posted my xfce devuan desktop a bit earlier in this thread. GTK stuff just isn't for me anymore after trying this. Some people argue against the existence of Trinity because it might seem redundant. When you compare it with modern KDE, it's obvious which one is the more pleasant choice.

>>81666 Honestly, there's just nothing like it nowadays. Every other desktop environment is trying to go for some modern look and you can't rely on GTK for so long given that developers are making it worse over time with the soykaf they keep adding to it. I love how TDE will always feel and look like a system from the early 2000s and that there are people who care about keeping it alive. Long live KDE3.

I like modern UI design too short

>>81679 what DE is that? gnome shell skin?

4k with no scaling is the new meta IMHO

>>81680 It's hyprland + waybar + nwg dock

>>81684 very interesting, never used WMs myself

>>81666 Winedows XP on a wide screen looks so wrong somehow.

>>81668 The "modern look" they're trying to achieve is a direct copy of macOS in many aspects, down to the actual features of that system; I find it hard to believe that that's the peak of UI design and that we can't do better or at least more unique. Maybe some people do like that flat/semi-transparent stuff, but to me, it is so flat and uninspired because it's trying to appeal to a huge crowd/the lowest common denominator. You can't really "go wrong", as some say windows xp did, when the design is just solid black or solid white rectangles. TDE feels comfortable to me exactly because it's not constantly changing to adapt to whatever apple is pushing or what's considered "modern".

>>81524 >>75871 gem was gonna post this on 4ch but god has graced me yet again. there's email verification or a 15 min captcha lol.

>>81685 male poon lol gross lainanon

>>81966 used it for the meme, its not my daily driver. some of the skins are cool though.

>>75871 What's up with the glowing fonts for the usernames on lain? Just regular firefox?

>>82013 There are different themes on Lainchan that you can choose from via the options menu.

>>81666 should check this out https://toiletflusher.neocities.org/ice2k/ im too lazy to reply back on /g/ thread

>>82055 Wait isn't this just iceWM

>>82071 Yeah or it's probably based on Trinity. I doubt it's an original piece of work considering a couple of red flags all around. >neocities page >has a link to a pisscord server >has fuarrrking minecraft in one of the screenshots There's also a screenshots page on the author's site that has screenshots of old KDE and the Trinity desktop environment. https://toiletflusher.neocities.org/screenshots So yeah. It's probably a reskin of an existing DE made by a young gen-z retard.

>>82072 it's icewm also related https://github.com/comdlg32/xdm-retro-theme

>>71380 >You probably would love FVWM (or FVWM3) or Awesome WM. I'm astounded by how much they overlap with each other. PagesAndDesks + fvwm-tiling, and I'd feel it's superior to AwesomeWM with more functionality.

>>82191 hello fellow sdf and aNONradio com user...

my attempt at a distraction free desktop without being soulless

>>82250 >distraction free desktop without being soulless exactly the kind of desktop i use for study and work, love it!

Finally found a comfy DE after years of using WMs and KDE. It looks quite modern, but I still get nostalgia from it. It reminds me old GNOME from Ubuntu 18.04 which was my first DE.

>>82363 i never seen anyone actually using void linux other than leahneukirchen

>>82393 It's too tranny unfortunately.

>>77852 Lovely wallpaper on no 2. Mind sharing?

>>82409 >1024x600 holy molly, a netbook user :o

>>82394 It's a good distro if you know what you're doing. It's well maintained for a small distro and has a good selection of packages. I'm talking about quality, not quantity. It's not as big as AUR of course. If something you need is not in the repo, xbps-src helps with installation from source. Void is stable. But if you have any issues, people on #voidlinux at libera.chat are friendly and usually are willing to help.

>>82428 >It's well maintained It's not. >has a good selection of packages That hasn't been a valid argument since 1999. >xbps-src helps with installation from source Just like any other package manager out there. And for that matter, in the long run even dpkg is less PITA than xbps-source. >are friendly and usually are willing to help To invent a workaround for issues that didn't need to exist in the first place.

>>82517 So what would be your recommendation?

> 82517 I do not agree with you and I'll continue using my favorite distro.

>>82522 NTA, anything systemd free. Since he mention "dpkg" I assume Devuan. If anything, I recommend Refracta/Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre >>82530 You will "unironically" distrohop within or less than few years. Shame xtraeme killed himself, was foreshadowing the end.

the other partition is netbsd winxp is surprisingly daily driver material (even though i was using it ten years ago). still more of a toy compared to unix but you can find great win32 programs to do all kinds of things. i wanna see how easy it is to write stuff in freebasic but am in the middle of a project already

>> 82536 I'm running Void for 3 years on most of my machines and never had any problems with it. Will I distrohop? Maybe. Not because Void is bad, or because it will die soon, but because there are other interesting distros I would like to try. How is Hyperbola nowadays by the way? Is it your main OS? Why would you recommend it instead of Void?
