This is a desktop application (Electron framework) that I made, inspired by this post by Seena.

It's open-source and you can get it on GitHub.

So what do you think?

Edit: Holy shit this got more karma than Seena's post in like 4 hours. I know the sub has grown since then but wow... Thanks everyone for the kind words.

u/nnkd hey dude. It seems like you haven't been on reddit lately but if you ever find this, i want you to know that you're awesome, and you're the one that inspired me make this thing. Keep it up!

2nd edit: So i woke up this morning and this got to the top of the Golden Five. I have no words.

3rd edit: OK now its going too far. This thing literally just boosted my career. And i'm still a high school student. I need to take a small break. Enjoy the day one hotfix.

Uhh I'm not sure what details to add, but

• Shell: bash
  
• Phone: Alcatel 4044C
  
• OS: KaiOS with arch linux in a chroot
• Terminal: Guacamole running on arch
  

This device came with adb over usb blocked, which made everything a pain. However, qualcomm edl still worked, and I could place arbitrary binaries and add them to a start script. This let me get dropbear on the phone, from which I was able to chroot into an arch linux rootfs stored in the external SD card and start the guacamole server. After that it was just a matter of creating a KaiOS app which loads localhost:8080 and open the terminal emulator!

I suggest using Python over C for quick maths like you showed in the screenshot since you don’t have to compile and you have access to an interactive interpreter. You can also take a look at Jupyter Notebook , it allows you to put code directly in notes.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HJZJI84/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used on of those usb-sata adapters, splitted the power cables from the usb directly to the USB power supply (a 2amp Motorola phone usb charger)

that's a super general question.

as far a ricing (looking "pretty") goes, you can rice any distro. it's all about setting up the applications you want and configuring them. the first, and biggest, step is deciding which environment to use. full blown desktop (DE) or just a simple window manager (WM). both have pros and cons, but many (not all) the setups you see here are just a wm. i suggest to everyone who asks this to try the linuxbbq cream live iso. it's got 76 different window managers pre-installed so you can try out lots of them and see what you like.

the distro question on the other hand is much harder to answer. there are a great number of them, and many are variants of the same base, each with different goals and methods of doing things. i guess my best suggestion is to visit distrowatch and read up. i'm a distrohopper. i try out lots of them and change my setup when i see something new i want to try out. i don't understand fanatical devotion to one or another. at their core they're similar in many ways. just pick one and dive in. for me, the best way to learn is to do. lots of people will suggest you start with a simple system to get and get your feet wet, while others will tell you to try something more challenging and learn a lot very quickly. it's all about how you want to learn.

• Requires scrot, imagemagick, i3lock and (optionally) dbus.
  
• The dbus part is not necessary, I use it to automatically pause spotify whenever I lock the screen.
  
• You can use any icon you want (~/Pictures/Icons/icon.png for me) - I got mine from IconFinder
  
• Link to script

So I recreated the fallout tui using python and unicurses. The menu is fully configurable I hope you guys have fun.

Software used: - ShellMenu (https://github.com/derDere/ShellMenu) - CoolRetroTerm (https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term)

There's no package, so you have to build it. It's not that bad, you need to build Open Motif from ports and then build CDE. I followed this guide to the letter and it works great: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/FreeBSDBuild/

That's simply a skin though; if you look at the official themes that come with Rofi (can be changed through Rofi itself, no config file needed), one of the themes is called "dmenu" and is literally just a thin strip at the top and looks/works exactly like dmenu: https://github.com/davatorium/rofi-themes/tree/master/Official%20Themes

Rofi themes don't all involve being in the center in a "window". They can be moved and docked and resized in all kinds of ways.

Sorry, again, I want to stress, I am not trying to shit on OP's work, it is very cool!

I found the Hackers Keyboard to be good on the Android. It gives you all the function keys and arrow keys. Just using a basic terminak, the up arrow saves me lots of time not retyping.

Have used it with vim, it has proper shift, ctrl and alt.

Still need to try Spacemacs on the Android.

It's a fork of Wine. The base of the new SteamPlay.

They had to fork wine because some of the additional tools are in C++ or other problems. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/

In summary : Easy to install (just a normal install from Steam )

You can set the iTerm2 title/tab bar to an arbitrary color using their proprietary escape codes. I threw together some quick bash functions for changing the colors. Here's a link to the repo.

Hi there,and welcome to the community.

I guess there are a few things you should know first before diving more into the *NIX world.

First, there is no UnixOS, UNIX is more like a family of Operating Systems that share some properties. Among the family of UNIX or Unix like systems there is GNU/Linux which the majority here are using.

GNU/Linux also is a family of "distributions", distributions or distros for short are systems that share the core system called Linux or The Linux Kernel, but are different in term of the applications bundled with each one.

Now having this in mind, Unix (the family) systems are great for as a main operating system, they are not only for work or for pros as some think, some are as easy to use as Windows and even more when you get the hang of it.

Being a developer yourself you would do yourself much good if you take the step and switch to GNU/Linux or any other UNIX.

For a starter I would recommend Ubuntu or Linux Mint

Now for how long till you start sharing your own "porn", I would say a few weeks to get the hang of the system, knowing about the different Desktop Environments and Window Managers... Then it's just how creative you can be.

Enjoy the empowering journey, and feel free to reach out for help.

Is there a legal way to get Google Sans now btw? Last time I checked, it wasn't available at fonts.google.com and one would have to get it from shady places, because it wasn't technically a free font even though it ships with Android now.

In all seriousness, to give my personal opinion on why Arch community seems to be overly represented, I think Arch Linux is a distro that many long-time linux users eventually settle with. Many people will start from Ubuntu or Linux Mint and perhaps try Debian or Fedora, but the final destination for most users who seek more customization seem to end up at Arch Linux. Mind you, Arch Linux is far from the most customizable distro (refer gentoo or even LFS), but it seems to hit the perfect sweet spot between having a highly customizable linux distro vs. accessibility and not having to spend too much time on low-level stuff.

Jolla, but it is possible to install Sailfish on Android devices, too.

It's hands down the best mobile phone OS I've used. After using the buttonless swipe-pull-push UI, going back to Android/iOS feels the same as going back from tiling wm to a floating one. Or typing with only one finger:) and as a bonus it runs Android applications, too (but I rarely use them).

Arch linux: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/sway/

I used it for a while and it was quite nice. I came back to i3 because I missed polybar, and because I had a few clipboard issues between xwayland and wayland apps, but that's hardly Sway's fault.

There's an open PR for it here, but it hasn't been merged yet. If you want to try it out you can pull Javyre's fork and build from source.

It seems to work pretty well.

• create a dotfiles dir mkdir -v dotfiles
• initialize as a git repo: git init .
• add dots files that follows gnu stow structure e.g for all my .config files I will do something like this . mkdir -vp config/.config/config_file_name
• add a .gitignore file e.g here
• add your remote repo created from github. git remote add https://github.com/userid/dotfiles.git
• then add all my files . git add .; git commit -m "initial commits"
• pushing my dots. git push origin master

I don't know if that answer your question .

Much of this work was heavily inspired by and some code taken from C.A.V.A and ncmpcpp.

Currently only MPD's fifo file is support.

In order to get the rainbow effect, you need a terminal with 256-color support. rxvt-unicode should work. I have done all my testing on Arch Linux with rxvt and on Mac OS with iterm2. Other terminals on other systems should work as long as they support 256 color, however I have not tested them.

Try using the Pale Moon browser (a fork of classic Firefox) with the Moonscape theme for a Netscape Navigator look. It takes a little bit of tinkering to look just right.

Additional notes: Menu is a Whisker Menu. Intenet, Music etc. are xfce4-panel's renamed launchers (For example - I set the first launcher to display label instead of icon and renamed Firefox to Internet). Time and Date are in fact 3 xfce-panel's clocks divided by separators. They are set to display %H:%M (time), %R (date), %A (day of the week). There's also a hidden panel at the bottom - it displays open windows, battery, wifi etc. Also, windows have no borders around them. I achieved this by making an empty xfwm4 theme. It's very easy. Go to usr/share/themes and create a new folder (I called it "No Borders"). Inside this folder create another one called xfwm4 and inside xfwm4 folder create a file called themerc. Leave it empty. Now go to xfce window manager settings and change the style to your empty theme.

I feel like all the people on this thread that mentions that KDE is bloated only once did a (if you are in arch)

pacman -S plasma-desktop kde-applications Of course that is going to give you a super bloated environment. But the reality of KDE is that is a highly modular platform, and you are able to install/uninstall single components without ever breaking it's integration and cohesion. So, my advice is to browse those groups, and only select the necessary software for your needs, without introducing uselessness and unnecessary consuming space.

For reference here is kde-applications group

Awesome, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation! Especially the "concepts" section did manage to answer quite a lot of my questions. I'd say the focus of Nix is mostly to solve dependency issues and provide safe, stable and flexible package management. At least the research paper it all started with was about that.

But yeah, after you explained the main motivation behind Bedrock Linux, I don't know how I didn't understand that before. I myself ditched NixOS for Arch on my desktop install because I just found Arch a lot more comfortable to use for common tasks. But sometimes, I do run into problems that NixOS would have solved, but that apparently could be solved by Bedrock Linux, too. I think I'll just give it a shot, many questions will probably answer themselves simply by using the distro.

OS: Xubuntu LTS (it's a lot easier to configure than Debian)
DE: Xfce
GTK theme: Arc-Darker (arc-theme)
Icons: Papirus (papirus-icon-theme), I know the logout icon stands out, but it has to be used both on the panel and in the Whisker Menu.
UI font: Noto Sans (built-in)
Terminal font: Ubuntu Mono (built-in)

Dock: Plank (plank)
Panel applets:

• Whisker Menu (built-in), the icon – its colour was changed to #bac3cf, you can do it by editing the svg file in a text editor.
• Window Header – Buttons (goodies.xfce.org), it's actually set to control only maximised windows, I just wanted to show it.
• AppMenu Plugin (xfce4-appmenu-plugin), I've installed unity-gtk2-module and unity-gtk3-module to make it work with almost all apps.

The Cygwin site explains it better than I could:

>What... > >...is it? > >Cygwin is: > > • a large collection of GNU and Open Source tools which provide functionality similar to a Linux distribution on Windows. > > • a DLL (cygwin1.dll) which provides substantial POSIX API functionality. > >...isn't it? > >Cygwin is not: > > • a way to run native Linux apps on Windows. You must rebuild your application from source if you want it to run on Windows. > > • a way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX® functionality like signals, ptys, etc. Again, you need to build your apps from source if you want to take advantage of Cygwin functionality.

It's more of a compatibility layer than an emulator.

Grab the Redshift package.

Then put it into your .i3/config file with other startup entries:

exec redshift -l 38:-77 -t 5700:3600

-l is Latitude:Longitude (example above is the White House) -t is Day Temperate:Night Temperature

Adjust temperatures as you see fit. Default is 5500:3700

Take care of your eyes friend. With a theme as bright as yours you may want to lower the night temperature even lower.

Long time since I made anything in conky. Saw this android widget, and it seemed to be a good idea.

• Its called minimal clock because that's the name of the widget its based on. You can call it circular thingy bloat clock.
• There are 4 clocks because it is a material submission, not a screenshot submission. It just shows the various clock styles.
• The outer circle represents the seconds. I just noticed that it is in the same place as the minutes indicator. Sorry about that.

Hope that clears it up.

Thanks :)

You do move them around with your keyboard, but it’s extremely simple and efficient; you can find a couple of images showing the default keybindings here. You can easily learn it in less than a minute. I’ve actually found it way more simple than those of desktop environments’.

Pros: It’s extremely simple, efficient, customizable and lightweight. You can also do everything from your keyboard, which is a huge pro for me.

Cons: Can’t really think of much. I guess some people want a desktop environment, and, well, this isn’t one. And most people are only familiar with one, so if a friend tries to use your computer, they probably won’t have any idea how to use it.

It's a really young DE written and used by Evolve OS and I really love it. I'm a bit demanding / special regarding my desktop (both in terms of UX and design) and Budgie and Pantheon both suit me the most. But as Budgie is basically developed by one person, popularity and new developers would be amazing :)

It does not come by default with the dock though, that's plank.

It is indeed very similar to ccs, but they use different property names, values, and keywords, and css doesn't support variables the same way rasi does. This results in files that crawl of red lines for errors that do not exist.

You can have a look at the specifics for the rasi format here.

Since the answers have turned into "it's about toolkits" which I don't personally agree with all that much, I use both extensively. My laptop runs KDE, my work desktop runs GNOME 3.

KDE is what i'd pick for a traditional desktop, it can be customized to essentially look in behave however you'd personally like, so it is well suited to most familiar workflows. Unlike what instinct would tell you if you've been dealing with it since the old days, Plasma 5 and modern KDE are actually incredibly lightweight, responsive, snappy. The tools are great, and it's excellent for tweaking something that isn't a tiling wm.

GNOME 3 on the other hand, essentially insists (out of the box, at least) that you use the workflow it was designed around. Once you start doing so, however, I find it an extremely distraction free environment, in the same way you can concentrate on specific things in a tiling WM, without using one outright. You can tweak it so it behaves more Traditionally, but I feel it will always be kind of a losing battle since upstream doesn't give two shits about what you want to do with it, just what they designed it to do. This is not unreasonable, but does mean you will be a second class citizen if you don't want their workflow and opt to recreate a traditional desktop with Extensions.

Also Gnome 3, while not bloated, certainly has dumb memory leaks dating back to a couple versions ago, still unfixed, on some setups.

Even then, the fact that it lets me focus Exclusively On What I Am Doing and the workflow they designed is extremely condusive to Getting Shit Done, I still use it for actual work.

I can basically recommend both, for different reasons.

(Also, since this isn't mentionned often, KDE Neon is a good choice if you want Ubuntu LTS + Latest Stable KDE Directly From Upstream, in a maintained, supported, cohesive way. Great laptop support, too.)

I got neofetch working in OpenBSD really easy

$ git clone https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch $ cd neofetch $ doas cp -p neofetch /usr/local/bin $ doas chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/neofetch

You can also copy the man file too. For images,

$ doas pkg_add w3m ImageMagick bash

For random pictures

$ neofetch --w3m /path/to/dir/

For xterm to start fullscreen with a random picture neofetch and a prompt

$ xterm -fullscreen -e "neofetch --w3m /path/to/image/; ksh -l"

Or windowed, like every windows key + delete sequence (for example)

bindsym $mod+Delete exec xterm -title "xterm - $PWD" -e "neofetch --w3m /path/to/folder/; ksh -l"

My path leads to a folder with scans of the old Illuminati card game, but you could also do playing cards, magic cards or pinup girls or whatever.

*edit for card size to display properly w/o cropping the image, use the argument

$ neofetch --size none --w3m /path/to/dir/

You could write your documents using markdown or something else, then convert it to .doc using pandoc.

It also supports a lot of other input and output formats.

details:

• nicy — that's what i'm calling it
• the Nim programming language
• colorscheme in the screenshot is base16-material-palenight

I recommend taking a look at micro (sudo snap install micro --classic). It's basically a modern nano with all of the shortcuts etc that you would expect in a graphical text editor.

Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is probably the best intro to programming book that I’ve ever looked at. I looked at it for the first time in my senior year of college (studying CS) and still learned a fuck ton.

First of all you would need a theme Manager called Kvantum and then just install Kvantum themes from the KDE store

It's actually not from Firewatch, it was made on November 20, 2014, when Firewatch didn't come out until 2016. It could have been inspired by it though, since Firewatch was announced at PAX in August 2014.

I had to read your comment three times because my brain refused to process that you weren’t referring to Eww the web browser, which also happens to be written in a Lisp dialect. But you already knew that.

After discovering this sub, I decided to dual boot Linux on my new computer earlier this Summer. I still have some major changes to make, but I thought I'd showcase my color scheme on xfce while this contest was going on.

I decided to call it "Cupertino Light" and it's available for Atom (official), VS Code (hacked, see my Atom theme readme), and vim. Haven't created a dotfiles repo yet but maybe I'll edit this post later once I upload some files.

EDIT: Here's a bare-bones dotfiles repo for anyone interested -- it has the nikes color script, .zshrc, termite config, nvim init.vim, and of course my custom vim color scheme.

Colors:

color0 = #3f3f3f
color1 = #ff4845
color2 = #288ad6
color3 = #47aa12
color4 = #8d938d
color5 = #6b7db4
color6 = #babaa9
color7 = #445e67

color8 = #303030
color9 = #D4665D
color10 = #4c83ad
color11 = #61854e
color12 = #6e776e
color13 = #5f6a8b
color14 = #a4a493
color15 = #4b575a

-runit is the fastest init i've ever used (http://smarden.org/runit/ - beware, void uses different default locations for stuff)

-xbps is a really fast package manager. i thought yum was slow compared to apt-get but apt-get is a glacier compared to xbps

-void-packages: basically ports. lots of ports, package build templates also include options, so you can for example compile dmenu with xft support as I did here, without leaving the packaging system

openbox doesn't have its own bar; typically, if you see a bar at the top of your screen, then it's a separate program like tint2, polybar, lemonbar, etc.

Assuming you're using tint2, you can run tint2conf to change the settings via a GUI.
You can also see the docs' notes on configuring battery info here.

rEFInd is a boot manager not a bootloader like GRUB. Once you make a selection it passes control over to a bootloader, in my installation GRUB for Arch and the default OS X bootloader for Mac.

You can read more on rEFInd here.

The ones with numbers are app folders which were added in a update today. They are mildly customisable (and not mandatory to use of course) and I'm quite sure there will be updates for them :) I think the non-folder ones are quite clear except for the People app, I'd guess it was Favourites or something looking at the icon. Here are some examples for apps by Jolla. People, Gallery (rightmost in second row) and Appstore (bottom right) are the ones I wouldn't get without knowing already.

The i3wm User's Guide for one. /u/addy-fe made a i3 Starterpack you might be interested in if you are looking for an example.

You need to remove the $ from the line, it just shows that the command should be run as user, not as root.

For ricing i3, it's not really that hard. Most things that you'd be looking for is changing i3's colors together with your terminal colors. Here's a link of the i3 documentation on how to do that, I can't help you with your terminal, but seeing as most people use rxvt, this page should help you along.

Just ask if you need more assistance, I'll be glad to give it to you.

Mate's goal is to be a traditional desktop experience. The Ubuntu Mate distro, through mate tweak, provides different layouts from the default of traditional mate to contemporary and unity(Mutiny). http://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-artful-beta2/ For theming you could try Paper for icons and Adapta for GTK.

System Preferences > Dock > Automatically Hide and Show the Dock

It pops up if I hover over it. Unfortunately, there is no way to hide it permanently, as you probably know.

I use Spotlight to launch everything (some people prefer Alfred). Keyboard > Shortucts > Show Spotlight search sets ⌘ + Space to open it, which I totally love.

Thank you!

I use rofi instead of dmenu with a custom script to blur the background. Other details are in the screenfetch output in the screenshot.

Is this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/facebook-container/ what you're talking about or am I missing something?

i personnally use dwb and surf when dwb crashes with heavy javascripted websites

They are both really lightweight and dwb pretty neat to use with the keyboard (vi-like bidings)
