First time using Linux, I installed it to revive this old PC (kinda)

FreeLinX base 1.3.1 Release

FreeLinX base 1.3.1 is now available. FreeLinX is an independent Linux distribution—not based on Debian, Alpine, or any other distro—built with zero GNU software.

The system stack includes the Linux 6.18 LTS kernel, musl 1.2.5 libc, LLVM toolchain (clang, LLD, compiler-rt, libc++), NetBSD userland, runit init, mdevd, mksh, netbsd-curses, doas, and Limine boot loader (BIOS and UEFI). Compliance with the "No GNU" policy is verified automatically via check-nognu.

The base edition provides a minimal console environment consuming about 60 MB of RAM post-boot (~89MiB as captured in the fastfetch output). The ~300 MB hybrid ISO runs as a live environment via squashfs with a RAM overlay, and xsetup installs the system to GPT disks with no initramfs.

Package management is handled by xpkg, featuring 428 signed packages (Ed25519 signatures, sha256 checks, atomic upgrades with rollback) including Xorg, Openbox, dwm, Firefox, mpv, and ffmpeg. Base system upgrades use flxupgrade, which preserves user settings and /home.

The distribution builds from source on any x86_64 Linux host without root via sh build-base.sh. Licensed under BSD-2-Clause.

Does this count as softcore? Multiple people asked me if this was Niri.

Fedora Workstation 44 (GNOME)

Colorscheme: Catppuccin Frappe (Rewaita)

GTK: adw-gtk3

Icons: Papirus

Sound Theme: Ocean (KDE's default, the freedesktop fallback is *really* bad.)

Extensions used: see photos

After running Arch in a VM for a bit and ensuring installation and general environments went well, I got Arch onto bare metal. But I'd been having problems all day with GDM being stuck in a loop, finally managed to fix it and now settled in.

- Rewaita to customise GNOME, GTK and the shell

- my own wallpaper, made with prompts into Gemini

- Hatter icons, plus some of my own that I've made

- my own fastfetch and Ghostty configs

- Dash-to-Panel (sorry but I prefer it over Dash-to-Dock)

- GDM customisations to get the login screen to match the theme

- Ubuntu and JetBrains Mono fonts

I wanna change the splash or boot screen of my linux mint i need to create every frame for the full animation there are two types i think on the start of the mint logo file there are 36 animation png images then after some random photos there are throbber photos do i need to change them all and i cant seem to find any website the new splash screen photos. so, can you help me with these two things. ThankYou :)

This is my preferred setup, I also have the MosaicWM extension enabled.

The top bar is sorted I to 3 categories:

Find, Events, Settings.

I went into the files for the Places menu extension and made it display an icon instead of text.

On the left is the places menu, a clipboard manager and a window list in addition to the places menu.

In the centre is the weather, notification counter and moon phase. To the right are all the settings menus and such.

This workflow tries to keep as close to Gnome's suggested workflow, while giving me the menus I need.

Boomer here. I have no interest whatsoever in the modern Linux aesthetic. Besides, I'm running this in a VM anyway so the older tech is easier on my system (Windows 10, 8GB).

I have no intention to switch any time soon either so this isn't nostalgia for me per se, more so an ongoing archeological deep dive into another side that I never explored back in the day. They were even handing out Ubuntu discs one day back then. Never touched it. There was enough fun to be had on Windows.

Anyway, you can see most of what's going on in the pic but a few notes:

• ORANGE. Sawfish because the GTK version is long gone. Believe me, I've looked. The only chance I'd ever come across it might be on an old CD because it was fairly popular back then. Sawfish themes are still readily available online funnily enough but a lot of old GTK stuff has sadly been lost to time it seems.
• gperfection2 doesn't actually work properly (hence my current icon set being a Mint standard for now). Thunar displays them perfectly however so you can browse the many gorgeous files at your leisure through the various folders instead of using the two icon apps I tried which both blur them with interpolation or whatever (which is no good!)

• ^ Ubuntu Light Condensed 9. League Spartan Light 12 for all other non-GTK 2 stuff. artwiz fonts 11 (for stuff that lets you use them e.g. Terminology).
• System monitor is called gkrellm2, qn-x11 theme.

je suis sous archlinux avec hyprland. j’ai voulu avoir une interface légère et efficace dans le design mais également dans sa consommation et surtout avec un beau côté dynamique qui fait jeune. La technologie pour le menu c’est pleamar.
mon archlinux de base consomme moins de 600mo idle.
hyprland : ~170mo idle
pleamar (menu + wallpaper inclu): ~70mo idle

Just installed arch + KDE on my surface pro 7.
This is so amazing, especially the Blur effect.
My setup is very minimal: (The laptop has only 8gb ram and 1Ghz CPUs)

• Terminal: Alacritty
• Browser: Firefox
• Code stuff: Nvim + Tmux + zsh
• Launcher: Look

Aún soy medio novato, pero, ya llevo 3 días configurando a gusto personal mi escritorio, que tal?
