>>108953811 So doggo fetch it is then. (Took cutefetch and expanded it to display just the stuff I give a shit about, and only display dog ascii) I guess since it now displays a lot more info, I could ditch the cutefetch dog ascii and make a dot art doggo with more detail like my fastfetch Cthulhu dot art on the bottom right.
>>108953809 >omarchy Omarchy is advertised by jew, that is how I found it. I love Israel. Omarchy is pushed by Israel and we all should use it.
>"Arch and Hyprland for people who don't want to learn how to install Arch and set up Hyprland" >Omarchy users can't fix or setup anything and this distro will break everytime Arch or Hyprland change something that breaks the configs Omarchy is Garuda tier Indian distro. I heard some jew said it is the best. Only distro I could use was Ubuntu LTS because I was too stupid for Arch/Artix dwm/dwl or something. People always talk shit when I show screenshots and it is just humiliating when people can see that we are using "Omarchy".
>>108953501 Been playing around with XFCE in a Devuan VM. I'm thinking about switching over from Debian/GNOME. I like it so far, but there's still a handful of things I wanna hammer out before making the switch.
>>108955956 This is very messy but if something similarly messy was posted under Windows XP it would be spammed with omg soul, so this made me smile, also the shade on the ferns is relaxing.
>>108959553 I'll never understand. The majority of trans people I know (and given that I am a nightclub promoter, I know many) don't even use Linux nor watch anime. So how arch and anime = mtf tg is beyond me. They just want more excuses to have trans people living rent free in their head.
>>108960440 that was the goal, yes, at least, that was the second goal, the original goal was to make it look like beos but that went under thanks to the terrible font rendering system combined with beos fonts being nigh impossible to find i am far from satisfied with the panel either, the way i pulled it off is rubbish

>>108966770 Because of the guts, not what's on the surface. I get to utilize the WinNT software ecosystem and have a TWM workflow, best of both worlds.

>>108972849 My condolences to you for owning Razer peripherals homie. (you can configure all your Razer shit via web now without installing trash onto your PC)
>>108973942 It’s not my main machine, so I don’t use it as often as my Arch laptop, but so far it’s pretty good. There are a bunch of stuff I managed to make work, but I’m certain I’m not doing it the Nix way. I should try flakes and home-manager for instance. I wish the wiki was better. For a distro this different, there should be better documentation sources than "just ask an AI". I haven’t interacted with the community at all.
>>108973404 So is doggofetch, given that it's my own project. As is macchina; it just hasn't needed any updates since the last one 2 years ago. (Well, macfags may argue that their issues have gone ignored and unfixed but who gives a shit about macOS?)
>>108975345 I mean, I don't see why not; you would just have to create a panel, add workspaces widget on the left, clock in the middle, and your tray/indicators like battery, network, etc on the right. Then find a tiling add-on. The theme is Andromeda, and I'm pretty sure there's a qt/plasma version of it.
Here's my Thinkpad with the 'nord' theme and the same setup.
>>108975900 >>108975915 Thanks, I'd like to participate in desktop threads but I hate resizing everything. That said, I'm too used to Hyprland now and I have to unlearn muscle memory when using something like Plasma.
>>108973494 >too many icons and such. the taskbar is set to autohide because OLED but i had to show SOMETHING, otherwise it would just be a black screen.
>>108977113 >OLED is such a humiliation ritual Yes it is. You get used to it but even after a year its still a pain in the ass. >Want to walk away from screen >Have to minimize every single window
>Want to walk away from screen for more than a few minutes >Have to turn off screen
>>108977184 This sounds absolutely horrible. Basically don't buy OLED unless you can comfortably commit to repurchasing every time the burn-in warranty expires.
>>108977184 >>108977631 Did you know you can set your screen to go to sleep based on inactivity? I think it's called a screen time out, but I only heard of it in legends.
>>108978162 >go to sleep based on inactivity? im on windows with an nvidia graphics card, that shit is absolutely useless. ever since the rtx 3000 series came out my screens randomly turn back on. im on a 5000 series card now and they're still doing it.
i've tried walking away from my screens for a few hours only to come back and see my web browser with some static webpage on the screen. luckily gen3 oled are pretty good now and i dont have any burn in even after more than a year of moderate productivity use and some gaming.

>>108985416 Are those backported Win7 gadgets? You might be interested in Rainmeter, there are modern recreations of those old gadgets. https://github.com/SilverAzide/Gadgets I'm using these on Win11 with the Modernizer add-on for a system monitoring sidebar and they're very information dense, I basically have a constant view on what my system is doing which comes in handy. Per-core usage, GPU usage, drive usage, network usage, UPS usage, everything readily viewable at a glance.
>>108989993 Yes, they're both fvwm. Thank you. >>108990000 It's still very much a work in progress, but here's the config. I'm attempting to make an OS/2 Warp icon theme, it's slow going with just old screenshots to work with. https://litter.catbox.moe/krko9y.tar
>>108990474 Cry about it some more? Omarchy is actually pretty nice. Granted, the first thing i do with every install is go into the main menu and select "remove preinstall" which gets rid of shit that I have no interest in like 1password, typora, obsidian, and the webapp links to grok, ChatGPT, X and Google messages/photos. But the rest of it is actually a nice time saver because it has Hyprland, quickshell, impala, and a bunch of other tui apps that make system configuration quick and easy. I've been using Linux since 1994, and I enjoy Omarchy so much that I'm a theme author, and help test new versions in development (current public rc is 3.8.2, I'm presently testing 4.0.0) and also helping with testing new Hyprland features - the Hyprland dev is a contributor to Omarchy - as well as developing my own programs and scripts that are optional components for Omarchy. It's the best arch-based distro out there, imo, but I'm a bit biased.
>>108990527 you're the dude responsible for 4get? holy shit you're a godsend, thank you for your effort on the single best metasearch i have ever used in my life
>>108980551 there's xfce-winxp-tc (xfce, obviously) and ice2k.sys (icewm) if that interests you, i actually discovered an ios6-like theme for fucking libadwaita recently, made by a libadwaita dev of all people (here: https://mk.nyaa.place/notes/an3v64mxwzst02z8#pswp)
>>108974139 I just started using Nix as well. I don't know that flakes and home-manager are really necessary, but I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible. From what I can tell it gives you the ability to have stable and unstable on your computer, but I'm not sure I need that complication, even with rollbacks.
Agree on the AI. I've had to use it a bit more than I like to figure out little things in my config. But I'm guessing I'll have to use it less as I figure things out. The documentation is OK, but all over the place.
But it does feel super nice to know everything is in this one config file.
>>108976079 Wish I'd seen this earlier. I was running Void earlier and now on Nix. Are you using the Nix package manager? I like the simplicity of Void (runit), but I feel like I'm always tripping on little problems I struggled to troubleshoot.
>>108999671 >But it does feel super nice to know everything is in this one config file. Just switched from Artix to NixOS. Not sure I'll stick with it but I know one thing for certain: I'm never going back to running anything without a declarative config again. Whatever the next distro is, I'm at least putting Ansible on it.
>>108999671 I've been using nix daily for a little over a year. Looking back home-manager adds a layer of complexity that isn't really worth it unless you're using it to manage your dot files for a few things. Flakes is worth it though
>>108999808 yes imperative system programming feels so legacy after you get into the declarative groove
>>109000588 >home-manager adds a layer of complexity that isn't really worth it
this is really a Nix problem I don't like. Guix home feels so good to use and feels like a natural part of the system. It's also developed that way, its not some bolted on community shit like home-manager
>>109000588 >Flakes is worth it though I've been wanting to experiment with NixOS, but I don't really have a usecase as I'm not a programmer. Flakes sound really neat.
>>109000588 >Flakes is worth it though What makes them worth it? I'm also just getting into nixos and so far configuration.nix seems to do everything I could want.
>>109000335 I'm pretty sure pdf thumbnails exist out of the box for most file managers unless you install vanilla Arch or something but even then you can fix that by installing one package
>>108986578 its a bash script i wrote its no the best becuase shows some bullshit like proton versions and it is written in spanish https://pastebin.com/UC2EiRTZ
>>108999719 Yeah I use Nix/home-manager so I can replicate my setup on any machine. It took a little work to get it working with the non-systemd distros, but it's fairly easy to set up on void because runit is really simple. Just need to manually make a service for the nix-daemon
>>109004416 for CS2 off-loading to CPU matters more than the GPU you could have an RTX 3060 and the game would still perform like shit on your i5 7500. As for CS 1.3+, goldsrc is potato potato and CS:GO will do just fine on that.
>>109003440 I use flakes for packages that lag behind their source projects. Or really for anything I want to build from source and have easily accessible.
>>109000588 >>109001481 For me the desire to only rebuild home rather than the whole system has cropped up enough for home-manager to be worth it desu. I simply point my current favorite LLM my config and instruct it to do things for me. But I didn't start doing that until after I had a good working structure with flakes and home-manager (even though I significantly reworked it anyway).
My question is how often does anyone use nix shells? They seem really handy sometimes for projects but I'm not sure when it should become a flake instead. For example, that's how I ran aerothemeplasma before it had a community flake, via a shell.nix env.
>>109003963 thank you >>109004008 1. the taskbar is the default kwin one 2. believe it or not the dockapps are running in detached & mode and are sitting on top of the taskbar in a space i cleared just for them. they are not officially "swallowed". there are also window rules set on them to make sure they stay on top, etc. i achieved this look with the program "panel recolorizer" and the windows 98 theme from kdestore (forgot the name)
>>109005110 rad your desktop reminds me of this one but it uses kwin and lxqt, what are you using for pager or workspace viewer in taskbar? fascinated of your kde configuration or dotfiles as i never used kde before
