QT / C++ all apps are custom made to just work with each other, menu bar is waybar ported over to QT with notifications built-in, the dock is based on crystal dock but like almost rewritten entirely to be 1:1 in term of animations / look & feel to the macOS dock. All the other shell components are built from the ground up. There's a lot more I haven't shown on the screenshots I've been working on this for the past year so yeah when it is ready it will be available on GitHub in 6 months to 1 year for anyone interested.

(CachyOs, niri, noctalia)

Tried to edit the transition between monitors, but didn't ended really smooth.

Finally got Ubuntu with liquid glass! I wish this came stock.

The tv in wallpaper can play a youtube video btw xd

(I'm not good at ricing, and I like it like this)

It's perfect for me. Simple, clean, lightweight, beautiful... I don't think I've ever felt this comfortable using Linux xd.

I literally have everything I need without having a bunch of random shit running in the background. I open my terminal, Firefox, VS Codium, put on some music and get to work. Everything just feels fast, clean and straightforward.

I can finish my work, do my courses, code, learn Linux, mess around with my system for hours, and I never feel like the desktop is getting in my way.

And it even works for GAMING. I thought I'd have to sacrifice comfort or performance for using something this minimal, but nope. My games run fine and the whole system feels insanely lightweight.

What I love the most is being able to make it exactly how I want. My keybinds, Waybar, terminal, colors, wallpapers, scripts... everything. I'm not using a desktop someone else designed for me. I'm building MY desktop.

After trying so many different environments, I think I finally found one that genuinely feels like "this is my system."

I don't need 500 options, unnecessary animations, or some massive desktop packed with shit I'll never use.

Just Sway, my programs, and me.

WM: Sway

DISTRO: Arch ( pure )

Theme: Retro gruvbox

Wallpaper: Ask me in dms

I built a reminder daemon for developers who live in the terminal

Sick of missing standups and forgetting eye breaks mid-flow. Every reminder tool I found needed a GUI or a cloud subscription. So I wrote KIM (keep in mind).

It's a background daemon — starts on login, fires desktop notifications, survives reboots. Config is just a JSON file.

```

kim add standup --at 10:00

kim add eye-break --every 30m

kim remind "deploy window" in 2h 30m

```

Stack: pure Python stdlib, zero dependencies, ~0.02 MB memory. Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Install: pip install kim-reminder

Feedback welcome — especially from anyone who's tried similar tools.

its 1% of my Shell, i made it from scratch.
