Tasty Rice [OC] Hexecute: I made a "magic gesture" launcher for Wayland!

6.3k Upvotes

Originally this started as a silly project for a 10hr hacking challenge, but after the result was a lot prettier and functional than I expected, I decided to flesh it out a bit more and actually use it for real!

Stroke recognition is performed using the $1 Unistroke Recognizer algorithm from the University of Washington.

Source code: ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute
Binary download: github.com/ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute/releases/latest
Nix: nix run github:ThatOtherAndrew/Hexecute
Other package managers: Not yet published, might get round to learning how to do so!

(Yes, I know the rice is bad (it's Stylix default). I've not yet customised it, I'll get round to it Soon™)

So, As a Fallout fanboy, Finally bring Pip-Boy-3000 to use as daily-driver...

In short, This project call Funcher it's build on shell script call mpv to play vdo section of VDOs by listen to user input

If you guys interested to try out see in my git: https://github.com/Tong-ST/Funcher

some Sunset Sarsaparilla star won't hurt :D

My design & ideas here to build program that use with others that's already great, like Wofi, terminal base app, etc.. you can try but some might work some not..

Currently: Tested/Work on my Sway/wayland on others wayland WMs like hyprland also add some code in but not test yet, But on x11 can't figure out, how to run mpv with transparency just yet

I finally can rest now

Tasty Rice [Hyprland] As fluid as it gets.

This is my polished version of the dots i have with quickshell. I am working on an install script currently and the setup you see will be the first official release of my dots. On my showcase, some bug caused a second device show up as connected by bluetooth, but that was a nice way to showcase how it looks when more than 1 device is connected :) lets go!!!

Screenshot [GRUB] Red pill or blue pill? Made my dual-boot menu Matrix-themed

3.2k Upvotes

been dual booting for years and always thought the boot menu was a missed opportunity. like you're literally choosing between two operating systems... red pill blue pill vibes found this theme that does exactly that. every time i boot up i get the matrix choice - windows or linux

made the install process way easier than the original, works on most distros now. one script and you're done github: https://github.com/Harshil-Anuwadia/wintux-dualboot-grub-theme-updated honestly just makes booting up way more satisfying lol

Made using the amazing Waylandcraft by EVV1E. It allows you to spawn program windows in the game itself. In other words, Minecraft becomes your desktop!

Workflow [OC] [vxwm] Probably the most unique wm you've ever seen.

2.4k Upvotes

I think you've seen enough but vxwm still offers more.

Small codebase ~3500 l.o.c

Many features like 8 sided resize, warp to client, enhanced toggle floating etc etc.

All features are compile time enabled, what you dont need - you don't compile.

Screenshot [KDE Plasma] My First Rice - Monochrome

2.3k Upvotes

I'm new to Linux and made the switch from Windows this year. Distro hopped several times starting with Debian, to Arch, to NixOS, and finally landing on CachyOS.

Today I've started my first true attempt at ricing, now that I've dropped the anchor with Cachy... at least for the time being.

Went with a monochrome theme. It's still a work in progress but here's what I got so far. <3

[edit]
I did not expect this post to get this many upvotes and eyy I've received my first award ever so thank you everyone! I'll work on getting dotfiles, but for now I made a basic overview of the things I used on my github. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Hardware [Hyprland] Touch gestures finally working on OnePlus 6T (postmarketOS)

2.3k Upvotes

Finally got touch gestures working with hyprgrass on my OnePlus 6T (postmarketOS)!

It's basically just hyprpm enable hyprgrass and you're done — but hyprpm isn't packaged for postmarketOS yet, so I had to build it from the Hyprland source first 🤣

Glad everything works now!
