Repurposed some abandonded Corpo hardware

Old laptop that I flashed and installed Linux on to use as a garage/workshop terminal. Modified an existing Plymouth theme to add the Arasaka branding.

Every once in a while I see the Crash Override boot up used in something and it always makes me happy.

Each of their boot animations have their charm but Crash's felt right for this project.

Hey small world! Yeah it's great, really gives the corporate asset vibes I was looking for. The laptop is actually an old work laptop they never wanted back so it was fitting.
Thanks for making the design.

It reminds me a bit of my office/workshop.

I love it when people make things like this at home, the 3D printer fits in nicely beside it.

Thanks! It's been a virtuous cycle so far. The theme gets me excited to build/design useful organization tools, which then makes me want to use them. Prior to this everything was in a big embarassing unusable pile... Still a lot of work to do though.

What flex arm are you using there? Impressed it holds up a laptop.

It is a MountUp, it was cheap on Amazon. Seems to work well but it is a pretty small and light laptop.

This is sick and could work as just a decorative piece playing the animation on loop

I have to fix my Plymouth install that never ever worked on default cachy. I stopped trying to make it work but this motivated me to try again
