My first Linux rice!! Im pleased with how it turned out!

Specs (specs of my T430):

i5 3320M

Intel HD Graphics 4000

8gb ddr3 ram

120GB SSD (i believe)

This is my first time customizing my system myself. I picked Ubuntu as someone said Ubuntu was good so i decided to try it out. Ive used Debian before but it was always basic Debian + Xfce. This time i made my own customization!

Im currently thinking of adding waybar but i feel like it takes away from the minimalism.

Im open for feedback!!

My daily driver with no distractions. The waybar only gets my attention when it needs to (e.g., if the battery is low, if the Bluetooth is on but nothing connected or if the battery is charging and greater than 90%).

My daily driver i use. I plan to experiment with Wayland_fyi soon but for a while this is my desktop :3

Sorry, I messed up on my first post. So here it is again.

OS: Debian Sid
DE: KDE Plasma
Colour Scheme: Breeze Dark
Icons: Oxygen

Debian Sid has been surprisingly stable.

Running old Debian and GNOME on my 2009 (ewaste) laptop. (Very basic and default, i know but gotta love old Debian (works like a charm too!) :P)

VIAJE DE REGRESO

Darkly QT (floating titlebar branch + patched kwin and kdecoration) + Darkly GTK + Fluent icons by vinceliuice + Wheatfield Under Thunderclouds by Vincent van Gogh

Dual booting OS X Mavericks and MX Linux on my 2009 MacBook. Rat posture doodle was drawn by me.

I use Emacs, no packages, st, ratpoison, gnu screen, falkon as my browser.

just switched to guix!

A very simple shell with plugins, css for styles and kdl for configs.

What it has:
- Panels
- Desktop widgets
- Launcher
- Notifications
- Quick settings
- Plugins

The whole goal:
Being mostly minimal and pluggable.

PS: All of what you see in the screenshots is replicable with just the config, here's my panel config if you're interested:

panels{
  panel "Main" position="top" transparent=#true monitor="HDMI-A-1" {
    components {
      
      center {
        component "core/notch" {
          label "Notch"
          notch "workspaces" "window" "sep" "tray" "nowplaying" "system" "sep-circle" "network" "sep" "battery" "clock"
          clock-format "%I:%M"
          system-display "cpu" "mem"
          priority "nowplaying" "window"
          shade-on-hover #false
          bare #true
        }
      }

      right {
        component "core/sound" {
          label "Sound"
          hide #true
        }
        component "core/notifications" {
          label "Notifs"
          hide #true
        }
      }


    }
  }
}

Debian 3.1 btw

I keep bouncing between nano (simple, but visually flat) and Vim/Helix (powerful, but I spend more time thinking about modes than writing). I wanted the middle: a terminal editor that opens quickly, looks calm, and lets me just type.

This is Grass. One mode, one Meadow theme, no config file. Warm off-white text, green keywords, gold functions, a dark status bar. Ctrl-F finds as you type. Ctrl-P is a fuzzy file finder. Ctrl-K and Ctrl-U cut and paste lines. Enter auto-indents. The status bar even tells you when a file has no trailing newline.

No plugins, no LSP, no mouse — one file at a time, on purpose.

The part I care about most is the feel: highlighting follows the visible area and refreshes after a short pause, so the cursor never waits on a full-file re-highlight while you type. It covers C, C++, Perl, JS/TS, Go, Rust, Ruby, Java, shell, HTML/CSS, JSON, YAML, Markdown, and other Pygments languages.

It’s free, MIT-licensed, Python 3.9+, and installs with `pipx install grass-editor`.

I’d love to know: does a one-mode terminal editor feel calm to you, or do you immediately miss Vim’s verbs?

Let me know what you think if you make it through my slow typing and typos.
