How does your desktop look like /t/? How ricy is it?
>>
>>934 I hear it's on decline though. Maybe it's time to go for mullvad browser, but reproducible builds take 999TB of space and also they install in /opt which is a retarded take. I share /opt across multiple installations and their approach is obnoxious. System packages should go into /lib. /opt is for me. I SAID FOR ME

I finally transferred from Mint to Arch after using Linux for over a year. I'm trying out Trinity DE since I love old UI.
>>
Oh yeah every linux newbie has to come through the Arch linux phase. Glad you're liking it, and I hope you're wise enough to despise systemd and move away from it asap
>>
>>947 I'm well-aware about other distro that doesn't have systemd like Artix (Hell, I even tried it out before Arch). I didn't do as much though but time will tell though.

>>947 I don't really see what's too bad with systemd anymore.
>>
>>949 It's a ticking bomb malware. Putting aside it's abhorrent design, systemd is not an init system, it is a """base OS""" that is meant to bring about a lockdown of linux ecosystem so jews can take hold of it. And what does it do? It basically implements windows on linux or whatever. Goys like you won't notice a difference because in terms of using your goybrowser (chrome, yes?) there is truly no difference. You just fail to see the broader picture either because you're dumb or just stubborn. Systemd is sweet poison if it's not opposed linux and its freedom will basically be done for good. They are doing with linux the same thing they've done to browsers. There are literally no browsers on the market. Firefox is barely stumbling along and all other browsers are chromium based. And firefox is owned by google, mozilla being a proxy company. Just put off your pink glasses already.
>>
>>952 The Linux kernel has a 2000 line (toplevel) Makefile and is above 20 million lines of C code but you are not complaining about that.
>>
>>952 meds
>>
>>953 Because it's a monolithic kernel are you dumb? By the way linux codebase is a mess it has more vulnerabilities than there are starts in the universe. >>954 >redhat jew tries to cover the tracks Fuck you morons.
>>
>>955 Ok but you do realize that systemd also has a lot of tasks right? Linux' POSIX implementation relies heavily on the init system, this discussion has been had before though. Can you like, stop rambling about systemd? Find other software to whine about, this one got boring.
>>
>>956 No, systemd IS ticking bomb malware, I will not keep silent about it. Everyone who's got two braincells and doesn't work for redhat must know that by using systemd they make software freedom one step closer to demise

What desktop environment do you use?

i3wm is the best one if you're not up to spending a year or two doing deep meaningful configuration like you would with awesomewm

It's really not much, I barely rice because there isn't much to rice to begin with. just dwm + st. QubesOS btw.
>>
>>1013 Qubes is too hardware demanding.
>>
>>1014 Partially true. I've made my Qubes to be as minimal as possible, and have done a lot of research on Xen powersaving stuff. 'tlp bat' and doing 'xenpm set-sched-smt enable' seem to work best for powersaving, 'tlp bat' and 'xenpm set-sched-smt disable' for regular workloads, and 'tlp ac' and 'xenpm set-sched-smt enable' for performance. 'xenpm set-scaling-governor' and 'xenpm disable-turbo-mode' don't seem to work for me.
>>
But yeah, QubesOS isthe reason why my Thinkpad doesn't last longer than ~1.2 hours lol
>>
>>1016 Can't you guys just run a VM with custom firewall settings like normal people?
>>
>>1021 Well, no. QubesOS provides the best of the best when it comes to complete compartmentalization, you literally can't beat it with your homemade setup. Unless you're gonna reimplement QubesOS, by using Xen as hypervisor and just reinventing the wheel. Also, QubesOS is definitely not for normal people lol.
>>
>Schizophrenic overkill is better because... better! I diagnose you Asperger's. >Not for normal people I would think a good 1/5 people on any given alt chan take drugs.
>>
>>1023 I am not a schizo, I just use QubesOS because my threat model asks for it. I use my laptop for a lot of different stuff (school, work, personal, freelance programming) and I don't want anything interacting with other files. I need a system that can compartmentalize everything, from firewall to PCI devices. And no, I am not a druggie either. Drugs are gay.
>>
>>1013 People use Qubes as a daily driver?
>>
>>1026 I do yeah
>>
behh i dont really rice but here it is! i hope you like it
>>
>>1032 >sewerslvt nice, not really my style but overal unique rice. 6/10 because not using a tiling window manager

>>1033 >sewerslvt hey whats with pointing that out

>>1034 sewervlut has been a subject of some flamewars about his/her opinions on racism or whatever. >>1032 name you init system NOW

>>1034 I enjoy his music, that's all. >>1035 seperate art from artist. I don't care about sewerslvt's personal opinions as long as they don't mix it into their music.

>>1035 >name you init system NOW blehhhhhh neverrrrr

>>1037 why?

OP here. Unfortunately I had to stop using Linux, since my current laptop doesn't support it very well, but I've managed to keep my Windows comfy
>>
>>1148 What is the problem with the new laptop?
>>
>>1149 I was having different problems with the drivers, so my screen resolution, refresh rate and brightness were not working properly It's also an Asus laptop which uses proprietary drivers, which doesn't help
>>
I'm a little surprised to see the tiles I made posted here, I've only posted them on 4chan and my github.
>>
>>215 Literally me. Don't want anyone finding out I'm even more of a loser than they thought
>>
>>79 not very exciting but i always keep the background the desktop ships with, i don't really spend my time looking at it, if i need to do sysadmin i use the terminal
>>

>>79 i need to clean it up a bit, still has some shit i copied off of my 3ds when i was modding it. can you tell which game ive been obsessed with lately? lol
>>
>>1174 got a link to that github? need some tiles
>>
maybe a bit boring but i generally have nothing on my desktop except the wallpaper. even the taskbar is hidden automatically. i tend to just hit the search key and search for whatever program i want to launch instead of using desktop icons. it's comfy and i like it.

I'm >>739 I'm using a traditional setup now for the sake of stability, but I'm currently testing out IceWM on my other laptop. >>851 The music player is Audacious with the Winamp Xell skin (https://skins.webamp.org/skin/3555a46559112ce31f4c98c95448f68a/Xell.wsz). The "theme" is fvwm with a hodgepodge of assets I stole from http://pcdesktops.emuunlim.com My dotfiles are horrendous so idk if I'll ever release them publicly. >>1243 Thank you for the wallpaper I'm using now lole
>>
>>79 I've started to liek more dark themed desktops lately, and with a little bit of time, i was able to pull this together The wallpaper was taken from a demo that comes pre installed with rockbox; i took a picture with my phone and edited the picture I really like how it ended up looking. As if it were a spaceship in a part of space with no light sources, or maybe like a wrecked ship
