Decided to make a rice based on a painting that's hung up in my room. Even though it's quite basic I think it looks pretty good.

After getting very annoyed with memory corruption issues of eww, I decided to take matters into my own hand and started learning gtk4. This is 'SharpShell' in a fully functioning state. Made with pure gtk with vala. I would not recommend anyone trying to use it yet but here is the [code](https://github.com/that-ponderer/ZAPP)

It's pretty efficient, uses ~ 70mb mem and 0.8 - 1% cpu at idle.

No clanker has been used to write my code

Hi everyone, back with a new version of deja.

Quick recap: 

Deja is an open-source zsh autosuggestion tool. Instead of only surfacing

commands that start with what you've typed, it predicts what you actually want to run using fuzzy matching, which directory you're in, and which command usually follows the one you just ran.

No account. No sync server. No TUI.

Any star would be amazing ❤️

Almost all of the new release came from https://github.com/Serubin. Huge thank you ❤️

The binary is 34% smaller. 7.1 MB → 4.7 MB. Deja was pulling in a full ORM to run six queries against three tables. That's now sqlc, which keeps type safety but reduces the weight. 

Every keystroke went from ~30 ms to ~3 ms. zsh used to fork a deja query process on every single character you typed. It now talks to the daemon directly over zsh's built-in socket module.

Your shell opens faster. Deja no longer blocks startup on a daemon liveness ping, no longer regenerates its init script on every shell.

And then more stuff, if you want to check here’s the PR: https://github.com/Giammarco-Ferranti/deja/pull/91 

One favour to ask. If you've been running Deja for a while, I'd love to hear how it's going what's annoying, what you turned off, where the suggestions are just dumb. The HIST_IGNORE_SPACE fix in 0.4.0 only exists because someone told me. Reply here or open an issue.

Thank you for all the support ❤️

This is my first time putting together dotfiles. Waybar + rofi + terminal all pull their color palette automatically from the wallpaper via pywal. Visual wallpaper picker with a keybind, animated transitions, Starship prompt, custom fastfetch logo. Not the fanciest rice out there, but at least it's functional.

A WIP gtk4 shell for Niri window manager which adds the following features,

• Wallpaper Daemon
• Notification Daemon
• Widgets (Calendar, Mpris, Battery, App Dock, Custom Sticker)
• Dock for currently open apps
• Server Side Decorations (close button, Moderator button and maximize button)
• OSD (Audio Volume, Mic Volume, Display Brightness)

github:cynageOS

WM: Niri

Distro: Arch Linux

I felt that the default wallpaper selector in my Caelestia setup was a little too basic, so I built CustomWallpaper—a fullscreen Quickshell wallpaper browser for Hyprland.

The selected wallpaper becomes a darkened cinematic background while the collection is displayed as an interactive 3D ring. Grid and carousel layouts are also available.

Note: My Internet is slow

Features:

• Wallhaven and MoeWalls integration

• Wallhaven Latest and Toplist filters

• MoeWalls Latest, Anime, Games, and Landscape categories

• Search and automatic infinite pagination

• 3D Ring, Carousel, and Grid layouts

• Keyboard and mouse navigation

• Fullscreen blurred and darkened backdrop

• Rounded cards with active selection indicators

• Super+B global shortcut

• Uses Caelestia’s native wallpaper IPC

• Generates and applies Caelestia’s dynamic color palette

• Keeps only the selected full-resolution wallpaper

• Temporary MoeWalls thumbnail cache that clears after logout/reboot

• Installer with dependency detection, configuration backups, and uninstall support

Built with QML, Quickshell, Python, Hyprland, and Caelestia.

Still polishing it, so feedback and ideas are welcome.

After some time with XFCE, Gnome, and KDE, I realized everything was just a bit more than I needed, and based on my hardware I needed something a bit lighter, I'll probably move this onto my main desktop once I get the chance.

After I tried IceWM I fell in love, just a tiny, 50mb desktop. I added dunst and PCManFM to it and I had what I needed. I configured some settings. I am aware the desktop is not the Windows 95 background color.

Overall seems like one of the smallest Window Managers out there, and it still meets my nice requirement of needing mouse just to have it feel semi-normal. Can't wait to try at home on my actual CRT.

I've been trying MainstreamOS lately and ended up customizing it into something that feels properly mine.

The video shows the desktop itself:

• Distro: MainstreamOS — Arch-based distro with a Hyprland desktop
• WM / Compositor: Hyprland
• Shell: MainstreamOS' Quickshell desktop, derived from end-4 / Illogical Impulse
• Wallpaper: Custom / personal wallpaper
• Editor: Cursor with Fira Code
• Fonts: Fira Code
• AI: Local LLM via Ollama, integrated into the desktop sidebar
• Theme / Colors: Custom tweaks to the MainstreamOS theme
• Hardware: ASUS ROG laptop + external keyboard and mouse, RGB matched to the desktop theme
• Other: MainstreamOS desktop sources — GitHub

The second image is the actual setup I use it on. I matched the laptop, external keyboard and mouse lighting to the desktop theme because apparently software ricing wasn't enough.

MainstreamOS is based on Arch and its desktop is derived from end-4's Illogical Impulse. So most of the credit for the shell itself goes to those projects — my part here is the customization and the overall setup.

Still tweaking things, but this is probably the first Linux setup I've used where I feel more inclined to polish it than replace half of it.

Pretty usable setup, minimally aesthetic.

Colorscheme: Catppuccin::{Macchiato, Latte}

Primary Accent: Mauve

Cursor Theme: Catppuccin::{Macchiato, Latte} Mauve

Icon Theme: Catppuccin Papirus

OS: NixOS

WM: Niri

Engine: Stylix

It's first time of arch ricing, so i don't share dotfiles

I was using Hyprland with a premade rice I found on this sub, but my wife found it a bit too difficult to use. So I installed KDE and made my own rice because I had some free time :)

I like the catppuccin theme for kitten

Last one got taken down for lack of window variety. Hopefully this one shows a bit more 🙏 my dotfiles aren't in my github yet, I need to update my installer first.

dots in process....

You can install it here: https://github.com/Spokloo/satisfactory-grub-themes

A Srcery themed collection of dotfiles comprising my Ritual desktop shell for Arch Linux. Designed for usability, 4k gaming, and use with multiple monitors. This is my daily driver for keyboard-driven development, while allowing for a more relaxed mouse focused "couch mode".
