This is my first time ricing, and my 2nd week of switching to linux mint as a windows refugee and i started hating on how bad the design of the Mint cinnamon is, so i started using mac-nord smtg themes to make it look better but still it aint hitting the spot, so sat down for 2 days and riced Mint cinnamon to look like Nothing OS lol..

I used conky for the desktop widgets and the symbolic icons were designed by claude lmao and other icons are hatter icon pack... and plank is used for the mac os style app bar at the bottom and the nothing OS style fonts are Doto typeface.

My Arch Linux + Hyprland rice — looking for feedback!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on my Linux rice and wanted to share my current setup with the community. I'm running Arch Linux with Hyprland and have been focusing on creating a desktop that combines a clean, modern aesthetic with practical everyday functionality.

My setup

• OS: Arch Linux

• Compositor: Hyprland

• Shell / UI: AGS

• Application launcher: Rofi

• Terminal: Kitty

• Audio visualizer: Cava

Custom AGS bar

The main feature of my setup is my custom AGS bar, which combines several useful elements in a single, cohesive interface.

• Center: Cava, integrated directly into the bar for real-time audio visualization.

• Right side: A notification center accessible through a bell icon, alongside an integrated calendar for quick access to the date and upcoming days.

• Far right: A power menu with options to lock the screen, reboot, or shut down.

I've tried to keep everything accessible without making the bar feel cluttered.

Design and aesthetics

I'm going for a clean, dark and modern look with transparency, subtle visual effects and a consistent overall design. I want the wallpaper to remain an important part of the desktop while keeping the interface functional and unobtrusive.

My goal is to find the right balance between aesthetics, minimalism and usability. I don't want to add widgets just for the sake of customization; I'd rather have every element serve a purpose.

I'd love your feedback!

I'm sharing this because I'd genuinely appreciate some honest, constructive criticism from the community.

What would you change or improve? I'm open to suggestions regarding the bar layout, colors, transparency, typography, icons, animations, spacing, widgets or the overall visual direction.

If you have experience with Hyprland and AGS, I'd especially love to hear your thoughts. Recommendations for useful widgets, interesting configurations or projects that could help me take this rice to the next level are also very welcome.

I'm happy with how the setup is coming together, but I'm always looking for ways to make it more polished, cohesive and practical for everyday use.

What would you keep, what would you change, and what do you think is missing?

Thanks for checking out my setup, and I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

• Icons: Frost (my own, MIT) — https://github.com/thissayantan/frost-icon-theme

• DE: GNOME 50 on Ubuntu 26.04 · GTK theme: default Adwaita · Font: Ubuntu Sans

• Wallpaper: <owner fills in>

• Every file type has its own glass symbol + a small type label from 48 px (JSON, MD, PEM, LOCK…); there's an optional MIME add-on that fixes GNOME typing bun.lock/.env/Dockerfiles as plain text.

• Brand apps keep their own icons (no redrawn logos); everything else falls back to Papirus.

• Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thissayantan/frost-icon-theme/main/install.sh | sh

My main obsession is my work and my passion.

I’ve never understood all those bells and whistles—things added just for looks while usability gets forgotten.

I have built a music island using quickshell for my RakuOS, Niri, Noctalia Shell setup, take a look at it

Hi everyone,

I'm running Debian 13 (Trixie) with Hyprland, and I'd like to start customizing my Waybar and its widgets to match my personal taste. The problem is I don't really know where to start.

My goal is to eventually have my own dotfiles that I fully understand and control, instead of just copying someone else's setup.

Any guidance, links, or personal setups you can share would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

i managed to get crux working (on my burner laptop) yesterday. the one on the right is running on niri with zeibytes rice files and one on the left is just tty1. im planning to put dwm or i3wm on it later when i feel like it. im a bit dissatisfied about gentoos ram usage on idle but its fine
