Do trans people just love arch or something?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I configure my system to suit my needs with bits and pieces provided generously and openly by others, just like I configured my gender.

I know I do :3

That looks gorgeous! Though in my mind, that background needs to be animated :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It is animated. I just didn't wanna take a video.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Then it’s perfect :)

What do you use, xgifwallpaper?

Looks great, but what do you do at night? Wear sunglasses? 😎

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm one of those weird people who don't enjoy sitting on my computer in the dark so until I decide to go to bed I have the lights on in my room.

If I don't have that option I just switch to gnome where I have a dark mode setup.

Woah! How do I get my arch to look like this lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Look up Arch ricing guides, you'll find a lot of similar setups. They specifically use i3

Gah it's so pretty. It reminds me of all the pretty Rainmeter skins. The next laptop I get is absolute going to be nix.

I believe your looking for the eunicporn community from the Vatican instance.

This one is actually my favorite I've seen so far, how did you do it? I want to dual boot and this one is so pretty

[–] TRBoom 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Neofetch has a bunch of options that you can edit in its config file.

This is amazing!

I'm new to Linux and few days ago I learned what rice is and I can't stop digging into it. For example Rofi to launch apps is great and I wouldn't even think to search for something like this.

Do you guys have any advice what are some cool things to get? For example task bar replacement ECT.

What window manager do you use? Also do you know about the xorg vs Wayland debate?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not sure, I'm on Linux mint cinnamon currently if that helps. And nothing about the debate. (sorry for my lack of knowledge and not being precise)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Cinnamon uses the muffin window manager (wm). Window managers are the things which decide how your windows are laid out. When you open a Firefox window for example, it decides which workspace it will open on, how large it will be, if it will be full screen, if it's gonna only be on the right side of the screen, etc.

Here's what xorg and wayland are. Some bars are meant for specific window managers, and some work for all xorg window managers or all wayland window managers. So what you're using is important when suggesting a bar.

If you're interested in learning, I'd recommend installing Arch and going with a more minimal WM such as i3 (my personal favorite). This'll require a fair bit of time and research filling in functionality that your current setup handles for you, but you'll learn a ton and end up with a fully customized system you know the ins and outs of. Such is the beauty of GNU/Linux :]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Heh, after your last comment I went and searched info about Arch. I feel like it's kinda above my pay grade as for now. I was always into 'minimal' approach, that sounds great. I have dual boot mint/windows and I'm afraid I'll break something if I'll try to go with Arch.

[–] bluespin 1 points 1 year ago

Certainly fair - Mint is a great distro. Enjoy the journey
