Arch noob here.Trying out artix in a VM and I'm in love. All the latest packages, blazing fast and without bloat plus lxqt is really optimised. I will probably make it my main OS. Currently I am just testing the stability and seeing how long it will go without breaking.Also experimenting with the look of my desktop. I'm giong for a somewhat y2k look but it's still a work in progress.

With the implications they made at the end of the documentary and recent Source 2 leaks Half Life 3 is all but confirmed.

Thanks, it's the same texture as the rest of the panel which is a default texture that can be blended to match your system color scheme. I can also have a frame around the tray area, or have the frame around the tray and clock combined but found that it looks a bit excessive. I do think it looks a little weird though next to kasbar but I can't think of anywhere else to put the clock.

Mostly because I find it fun to play with, and i use the xeons/2070 for serious simulations under wangblows, so running puppy from RAM and saving to USB is ideal not having to fuck with windows10 bootloading at all. Really cool how modular the SFS/save/kernel filesystems are and overall very stable. Main con is slightly older LTS software/kernel but eh so is the hardware these days...

>>103235497
Nice aesthetic. Is it just me or does windows 11 look really low res in its icons and stuff? I just got a new machine and it came with windows 11, and I swear windows 10 looked way better on the same monitor. Games and videos look fine, but like desktop icons and fonts just look like shit.

jumped between fedora, arch, artix and debian
i'm gonna be honest, i only switched to gentoo for the desktop environment because i tried ubuntu unity and hated it but i got used to it and i really like it, mostly for the obvious reasons like flexibility and stability

>>103248865
>i only switched to gentoo for the desktop environment...mostly for the obvious reasons like flexibility and stability

def why I jumped over too. I remember arch breaking bc I pinned rxvt-unicode 9.30 for over a year and when perl updated everything fucking broke. that and a couple of other packages I found I was compiling from source and manually updating and I figured, fuck it, I might as well jump to gentoo. it's funny bc one of the first things I started to do was writing my own ebuilds and setting up an ebuild repository. now everything is "too custom" to leave gentoo without a ton of hassle

>>103248865
>>103249009
not gonna lie, I wish Arch/Artix offered an option to compile packages from source too
I attempted it a few months ago so I could remove every trace of wayland from my system kek

>>103248705
qt

>>103249028
they techinically do with pkgbuilds and the aur. but i find writing pkgbuilds clunky compared to ebuilds. that and I don't really care about bleeding edge.

I think void and gentoo stable have the best versioning out there for packages. "deliver what is deemed stable my the repo package maintainer, not whetever the distro package maintainer decides to throw in the package repo.

I care what the original create deems stable, not about forcing bleeding edge or super old packages for the sake of "stability." If I didn't want to stay with systemd bc of my job, i would have prob tried void before jumping to gentoo for that reason

>>103249158
damn that was a lot of typos. I can't be bothered to fix them tho

>>103249028
I mean, you technically could do that if you want. Instead of downloading one with a desktop environment, just grab the base intall, git clone the repo for the environment you want after installing the base system, and compile from there. Probably easier to just use gentoo, but if you are dead set on using Arch/Artix, thats an option

>>103241735
font?

>>103249179
technically doable easier on Artix, since I actually managed to script my way through it with some existing AUR helpers and the way Artix's ABS equivalent works, making it easier. sadly I wasn't able to reach my goal of removing wayland entirely, when removed my pc would just blackscreen instead of displaying lightdm as usual, so I said fuck it and reinstalled it normally
>>103249158
I only mildly care about bleeding edge, I usually update every week or every other week depending on laziness. gentoo definitely is an attractive distro, but there's a few things that make it unfortunately not work for me: useflags filter me hard (not ashamed to admit it), I don't like portage much (like, it does the job but it's slow and rather clunky), and it doesn't offer dinit

>>103249374
it's just my own personal overlay on github. Nothing special. I write my own ebuilds for shit I have written myself and packages that are not in the official gentoo repos or overlays I like guru. I would share it but I would rather not dox myself.

a couple that I have written:

- personal scripts repo
- polybar-dwm-module
- rxvt-unicode 9.30 (which I have pinned)
- expressvpn (ik its cringe but its useful sometimes)
- etc

it's really nice to have all of it managed by portage. it was a bit of a learning curve but once you get the hang of the workflow it is really nice, especially when managing multiple gentoo installs.

a couple of useful resources. there are more and it's really just fuck around and find out but the gentoo wiki is fucking awesome:

>I only mildly care about bleeding edge, I usually update every week or every other week depending on laziness. gentoo definitely is an attractive distro, but there's a few things that make it unfortunately not work for me: useflags filter me hard (not ashamed to admit it), I don't like portage much (like, it does the job but it's slow and rather clunky), and it doesn't offer dinit

no shame in knowing the limit of what you are willing to fiddle with. useflags are "pretty easy" once you get use to them, but its def more hassle that just grabbing a binary. portage is a bit slow. but it is really extensible which I like a lot. def a sucker for the unix philosophy lmao.

why dinit over other init systems?

>>103249567
>why dinit over other init systems?
mostly because it's really fast and it's easy to use as well. I believe Artix is the only distro that officially supports it unfortunately, though a few others like Alpine have it in testing repos
I believe it's possible to use it on gentoo but it's more tinkering than I'm willing to do. furthest I've been with gentoo is a TTY in a vm, then I failed to install xfce properly, so replacing the init entirely is probably out of my reach

>>103249624
def possible on gentoo. would prob be a hassle to write an ebuild and maintain it though if there are no overlays for it and it isn't in the official gento repos. I know a good chuck of people use s6 on gentoo and it isn't "officially supported." but thats part of what makes gentoo really fucking nice. super flexible and gets out ofyour way when you want to be opinionated.

>>103249655
and on the other hand Artix is pretty much my "just works" distro. only involved minimal tinkering to make it exactly the way I wanted to, minus the modifications I wanted to do building it from source (would only have been the wayland removal, --march=native and -O3 stuff, nothing much kek)
that said there was one thing I really wanted to do and that was porting systemd-boot to it because of my burning hatred of grub. I did manage to do that successfully, so it's something I guess (unironically looking at the gentoo repos helped me a bit with that)

>>103249705
I bet. the gentoo repos, wiki, handbook, etc are great resources even if you don't use gentoo. I have a buddy at work that swears by systemd-boot. I have never tried it. God grub broke all the fucking time on arch though.

also wayland/Xorg removal by global useflags is so fucking nice. I remember seeing on arch wayland was still installed as a dependency of something and got really confused at the time. that's just how binary package managers work though

>>103250021
>I bet. the gentoo repos, wiki, handbook, etc are great resources even if you don't use gentoo
it helps that gentoo also lets you use systemd-boot even if you're on openrc or other init, so taking a look at how they did it set me on the right track. after that it was basically a matter of modifying the original Arch systemd pkgbuild, some trial and error, until it worked. haven't updated it in ages though, I uploaded it on the AUR but I'm not sure many people use it
>God grub broke all the fucking time on arch though.
one of the reasons I don't trust it at all. along with sdboot I also use dracut, since that's what Endeavour used out of the box and that was the first distro I used when I came back to Linux. got used to it so I just kept it too (that and the very comfy "sudo reinstall-kernels" command that I can use in case I modify kernel flags or dracut config)
>also wayland/Xorg removal by global useflags is so fucking nice
a few packages like mesa depend on it on Arch/Artix. even recompiling them without it enabled didn't work for me sadly

which one is your desktop again?

>one of the reasons I don't trust it at all. along with sdboot I also use dracut...
pretty sure gentoo defaults to dracut saw something about it in eselect news a while back and had to build grub config again. that being said, i haven't had any issues with grub on gentoo since I am pulling the stable grub ebuild other than that migration to dracut, which was well documented and warned about.

I don't really know much about dracut though or what it even does.

strange. certified works on my machine with mesa and adding -wayland to my global use flags

well that's gentoo for you. it's literally the use case for it. not really the case for mine, I mostly was curious if it was even possible at all. while possible, the way I implemented the "build shit from source on Archtix" wasn't really an option for a daily driver, I did that in a VM iirc (that or on a spare drive, don't remember)

>>103250418
>this one
ah very nice. love seeing you around :)

>I mostly was curious if it was even possible at all. while possible
still sounds like it was a fun project :)

>the way I implemented the "build shit from source on Archtix" wasn't really an option for a daily driver, I did that in a VM iirc (that or on a spare drive, don't remember)

totally get that. thankfully I am on hardware and it helps that I use both my desktop and laptop for work as a devops engineer. a good bit of overlap there lmao.

I don't work in tech unfortunately. but as far as fun projects go, my thinkpad I posted itt I got roughly 2 weeks ago and it's basically a personal project for a comfy machine. already did a bunch of stuff to it: updated the original 16GB RAM to 32, changed the keyboard for a backlit one, ordered a 72Wh battery for it, and it's gonna get more mods done in the future, like glass trackpad (I'm a trackpad guy, I don't use the trackpoint but I do use the buttons above the trackpad), low-power display, 2nd SSD in the WWAN slot, possible upgrade yo 64GB RAM (in which case the current 32GB are gonna go into my gaming laptop instead), and maybe more as I learn more about T480 mods in the future. it's a lovely machine and I kinda regret not buying one sooner

i feel like using fedora, but im not reddit
i feel like using void linux, but feels too stereotype and memey
i feel like using alpine linux, but i have bwc and gentoo-bin is better
i feel like using gentoo, but i dont wait an entire year to compile my desktop and sync portage until it breaks
i feel like using arch linux, but i dont want bleeding edge and update often
i feel like using nixos but im not trans
i feel like using guix but my pc isnt gnu
i feel like using debian but i hate systemd and i love video games
i think my only choice is devuan
>>103252345
make sure you use mplayer

-vo fbdev2

to play videos in framebuffer with tmux, i dont think

mpv --vo=drm

can do this

i installed it for shits and giggles
it is a pretty well made project, but it is not daily drive-able yet, missing many important features like desktop icons (had to use xfdesktop) and many panel and start menu interactions, i guess trinity is the best option for the XP experience for now, but im sure this project is gonna go places
>>103237345
Incredible, everything goes so well, how did you get so good at ricing trinity?

genuine question- i haven't used linux in several years. i used to mess around with arch as a hobby when i was teenager. got really into ricing (tiling wm, etc), but i realized i didn't super care about digital privacy and the constant troubleshooting got tiring. so i switched to windows since it just werks.

i'm planning on building a new PC soon and i'm wondering if it would be worth dual booting or not. i do sort of miss dicking around making my rice look perfect, but i don't think i'd be doing anything on linux i couldn't do easier on windows instead. i don't care about efficiency. i just think windows 11 is butt ugly and the options to make it look better add so much bloat.

>>103256660
i unironically think you should go all in on linux, but i'm not saying linux is good. i'm trying to get away from it myself, it's just a hell of alot better than windows.

Fan of the silver theme? :P I would like to commit some time to porting the others, I know Zune is very popular.

There's quite a lot to do for the full functionality to work... it wouldn't be too much to get icons on the desktop using the existing icon view code for example, but obviously using GtkIconView has its limits (eg. no dragging around icons, certainly not between screens).

Not sure what people would like prioritised the most, I am trying to work on explorer at the moment so it's actually worth using. :)
