I remember reading about it like 10 years ago along with LunarLinux (e: and sorcerer) as was curious about other source based linux distros. I thought both were dead, glad that at least sourcemage is still alive

Still it's ridiculous they only allow submissions via a gitlab account. Oh and not only whatever gitlab account - it has to be done with one created in that instance. Same thing for voting!
And if that wasn't ridiculous enough, there's all those requeriments for people submitting their wallpaper.
When I learned about the contest thought about doing one and submitting it, but with all those limitations? Not even an email to send your wallpaper? Forget it. Not even sure why they announce this contests in the first place.
Gentoo because I like it.
And portage.
I tried to do a couple of icon sets that went with that trend for KDE. At one point I was involved with the KDE VDG and was about to set the style of the icons they'd use.
But apparently some suit told them they needed to go completely flat as they needed to plaster Firefox/distros/whatever logos on it, so everything needed to look consistent.
So in the end I got bored about it and stepped away. I'm trying to redo a new square-shaped-skeumorphed icon set but it's so much work - like it'd need to be your daily job to pull it off.
However, if you take a look at it, it's already in this one - some of them are just the base shape with some logo plastered on it (like the whatsapp one, or the one with the butterfly) and voilá, there's your icon.
So icon sets are incredibly hard, and if you want a skeumorphism icon set its hard squared. That's another of the reasons flat icons thrive today.
some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script
I just can't... like maybe I'm too old and that's why I still can't wrap my head around how we went from "./configure && make & make install scripts are almost the de facto way to install software in linux" to "a sketchy install script". We're living interesting times at Linux
It says it uses webkit, so does Epiphany, so most probably it's based on it.
Never dug anything A7X but as you describe this "theatrical" metal (or at least what I can understand) I only can think of Ayreon.
Whatever it takes to have a fr🤮nch-free system
Mozilla does not look any reliable for people that loves FOSS, yet our current web seems like it's either Firefox/Gecko or Chrome/Chromium browsers. I wish people were more aware of emergent projects like Servo or Ladybird - even better if they could donate to them. I'm positive either of them could be a serious competitor to the Chrome hegemony.
I still remember looking at it (with its super cool sports car illustration) at the top result(s) at Sourceforge (when Sourceforge was the hub for all things open source, back in 2006), downloading each update from whatever computer from uni and bringing it back home to doddle stuff. Inkscape always was in my top 5 tools for uni along with GIMP (and Krita afterwards), Imagemagick, ConTeXt and MetaPost.
