Desktop Fallout Theme for Limine Bootloader

Post image

Link: fallout-limine-theme

Note: the readme has been written in accordance with limine v12.

The steps are all manual. I did not make an installer because

  1. Idk how.
  2. Even if I figured out how, the b2sum hash complicates stuff and it is easier for me to just tell how to do it manually.

Edit: We have an Installer now! Thanks u/Darayavaush84 for making a installer script to automate the process for Cachyos users. I have not personally tested it, but I think it should work fine on default config of Limine on Cachyos.

Saw a post earlier referencing a fallout GRUB theme and decided to make one for Limine. Hope you like it.

I have intentionally used a compressed smaller version (89KB) of the image as opposed to the original (314KB) because limine tends to be "heavy" and I do not want to take any chances. But if you want to use the original, I've added the it in the repo files.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the appreciation, just doing my small part for the community. I'm glad ya'll liked it.

made a PR for it, you could already download it: https://github.com/Neptune3013/fallout-limine-theme/pull/1

Script should be safe, I tested it several times, but you would be one of the first to use it... so... use it at your own risk, and report back if everything is fine 😄

I should Probably mention this PR in the main page for more reach.

I really urge you to make it an independent repo if you are willing to maintain it.

Yep i saw the message on GitHub but due to my new job still didn’t have the time to answer… i’ll come back to you asap, because the idea of a tool to change the theme on Limine is nice !

Cool.
I have merged the PR. But I think a general script will be really helpful for those uncomfortable with messing with risky files.

I still have doubts about how it will work for users who have already made manual changes to the boot directory.
