Contrast is too sharp here.
Why don't you use a more neutral gray style for your eyes to rest easy? A trick from photography for photo composition is moving your eyes to a gray picture or patch for about 30 seconds to "reset" your eyes. Get yourself a collection of gray or low contrast wallpapers.

>Gentoo
Thinking about trying out gentoo, how long did it take to install? Only tried Fedora.
>>
>>109558387
not long, really. the longest part was compiling the kernel. there's a binary kernel so you don't have to compo;e the kernel from source but in my opinion that kind of defeats the purpose of a system where everything is built specifically for your hardware and optimized for your machine.if you're a bit of a linux newbie, then the binary kernel will get you up and running faster so you can at least see if gentoo is a right fit for you. you can always run the config from the binary kernel through localmodconfig after plugging in every piece of hardware that is going to require any special drivers, and using that as the config file to build your own kernel (the binary kernel config comes with pretty much every module possible so it works with every computer, and localmodconfig strips out everything from the kernel config except for the parts that are specific to your hardware configuration)

tl;dr gentoo takes a couple hours to install because you're building an OS specific to your machine, but there are shortcuts if you just want to try out gentoo.

Panel colorizer widget lets you position icons however you want. It can also hide stuff (like my minimize all windows icon is hidden). You can also make it 9x-like that way (my setup used to be like that some weeks ago). Ofc you still need icons and essentially it's a dirty trick.

>>
>>109568770
i dunno, i like tiling on my 17" 2560x1600 laptop display. the problem is that most people don't know how to wrap their heads around using multiple workspaces. mine, for example, is segregated by task. i have 10 workspaces, 1 is terminal tasks, 2 is file management, 3 is web browsing, 4 is games, 5 is development, 6 is videos, 7 is office/productivity, 8 is music, 9 is social, and 10 is system (that's where i keep btop, rustnet, iotop and jolt running as a sort of system dashboard. picrel)

you don't run out of screen space tiling this way. not even when i have a bunch of shit going on like editing package.accept_keywords files to unmask packages, while managing portage, and adjusting USE flags do i run out of space to comfortably use each terminal emulator on my term workspace.

2560x1600 is definitely not "poorfag" territory on laptops my guy. poorgag would be sub 1080p, and that's only because OEMs suddenly decided to go back to 1080p for most laptops. dumb fucking choice imo and i'm glad i got my ryzen 9 gaming laptop when they were still doing 4k 144Hz IPS panels on gaming laptops. i went to buy a new one recently and decided just to stick with what i have because of everything being 1080p again unless it's applel trash.

nah, i just like radio networks and all the nice tools you can have on linux. i also like my system to have a small memory footprint to leave some for actual programs.
also i recommend slackware. once again i had to migrate from one root to another root due to file system problems and so I had to re-install some usual things. since slackware includes everything, i could compile most things without installing any dependencies.
it shows how well-thought out a process slackware applies.

also, its been 4 months since i have not updated my gentoo chroot and i'm afraid to touch it because i know its probably gunked up by now. not exactly a priority for now.

fluxbox is one of my favorites together with windowmaker. i think windowmaker is a little lighter than fluxbox but fluxbox is light enough and feels modern enough.
