Omarchy feels like the most astroturfed shit I've seen for Linux in a long time, just how big were the bags given to all these Youtubers?
It just fucking works
>>109655761does anyone know a good debian program for setting animated PNG wallpapers on my desktop? there's exactly one animated wallpaper app on the software manager store and it's some decrepit old japanese-themed thing that doesn't support APNG and seems to have issues with the current generation of kernel.i have an app on my android phone called "Live Wallpaper Plus" that handles APNG just fine.>inb4 just code it / use AI / fuck around with a CLIsorry but i'm a former windowsfag and not anyone who should be allowed to touch the terminal
>>109656708What desktop? Pretty sure there are addons for KDE.There's also shit like this for X11 crap:https://github.com/BYT0723/xwallpaper
>>109656733i use cinamon (linux mint)
I tried to install Linux for the first time on bare metal today.Had trouble partitioning my drive first because microslop doesn't allow me to use my 500gb of free space for a new partitionAfter that I wanted to try a new distro because I used cachtOS and debian on a VM before which were fine but didn't feel that different from windowsDecided to install endeavorOS and I wanted to get hyprland because I liked the look. Hyprland wasn't one of the install options so I just pressed none and landed in terminal hellTried installing hyprland this entire evening, it partly works but the tutorials I found are a year old and already outdated or somehow not in the same fucking mess that I created.Am I too retarded for linux
>>109656928Should have just stuck with Cachy. Endeavour is basically closer to bare Archlinux. Cachy at least tries to branch out a bit and has install options for environments like Hyprland.
>>109656947i use normal arch
>>109657622Nothing wrong with Arch if you know how to set it up right. The one CachyOS system I have started off that way before I converted it to their repos because I like the idea of x86_64-v3 packages.https://wiki.cachyos.org/features/optimized_repos/#adding-our-repositories-to-an-existing-arch-linux-install
>>109657637ok why does this apply to me?
>>109657647It doesn't. The guy I replied to could barely configure shit though.
