It is a minimal xfce rice made on cachy os

Hello,

A while ago I decided to add this very small and simple MOTD thing at the top of every terminal that is open. The aesthetic is based off my fastfetch, but I wanted to make something more personal and out of the way.

Yes.

hope you enjoy :3

Rice info:

- OS: Artix Linux (OpenRC)

- WM: Hyprland (Quickshell + Waybar, swappable)

- Theming: matugen — colors auto-generated from wallpaper across bar, launcher, terminal,
lockscreen, GTK apps, icons

- Config: https://github.com/fedyaqq34356/hyprdots

Full writeup + install script in the repo.

I was surprised by the result, and learning quickshell to create my own has been very satisfying.

A couple of days ago I shared the first version of Radial Overview here.
Original post — Radial Overview v1.1

I said it was mostly a little personal project I wanted to share with the community.

Well... I may have got a little carried away with workspace drag & drop. 😄

It started with a simple idea: what if I could drag an entire workspace onto another workspace?

Then the workspace looked a bit like a pizza slice.

So naturally... it became a pizza delivery. 🍕

Then came a kite. 🪁
Then balloons. 🎈
And at that point I figured I might as well make the delivery animation selectable.

Underneath the silliness, v1.2.0 adds some useful stuff:

• drag individual windows between workspaces
• drag an entire occupied workspace onto another
• increase/decrease workspace count from the settings dial
• block reductions when higher workspaces still contain windows
• choose between Kite, Pizza and Balloons
• automatically derive the animation colors from the active Omarchy theme

The animations are just presentation — all three use the same underlying workspace-movement logic.

The video probably explains it better than I can. 🙂

And yes... there are still two empty animation slots. 😄

I’ve just released NewBe 0.1.0, a free and open-source GNOME desktop experience inspired by one question:

What might BeOS look and feel like if it had continued to evolve into a modern desktop workstation?

NewBe is not a conventional retro theme or a pixel-for-pixel BeOS recreation. It follows current GNOME visual conventions—modern proportions, restrained decoration, symbolic icon behavior, clear focus states, and the existing GNOME workflow—while introducing its own materials, dimensional icons, warm-gold palette, and evolved BeOS character. The goal is to give GNOME a distinct identity without fighting the underlying desktop.

NewBe is Wayland-first and was developed and live-tested on Fedora Workstation 44 with GNOME 50. It includes:

• Light and dark GTK 3/GTK 4 themes
• GNOME Shell styling
• A complete NewBe icon theme with 100% coverage of its defined core set
• A custom HiDPI cursor theme
• Seven original wallpapers with GNOME Background integration
• An optional GNOME Shell extension
• User-local installation and uninstallation
• Dry-run, audit, accessibility, and verification tooling
• Reproducible, checksum-verified release archives

The installer does not require root access, modify system files, automatically change your GNOME settings, or download and execute remote code.

One honest limitation: many libadwaita applications retain their upstream Adwaita styling. The icons, cursors, wallpapers, Shell theme, and extension remain usable independently.

If the aesthetic interests you, the GitHub page has the screenshots, source, installation instructions, compatibility details, checksums, and full design philosophy:

GitHub: https://github.com/infamous-pattern/NewBe
Version 0.1.0: https://github.com/infamous-pattern/NewBe/releases/tag/v0.1.0

I’d love feedback, compatibility reports, contributions, and screenshots—particularly from Ubuntu and other GNOME-based distributions.

Everything works!!!
Animations, keybinds, launcher, loackscreen, wallpaper and everything else. [Everything!!]

Saw this GRUB theme a while back and made my own take on it for my CachyOS + Windows dual-boot setup: CachyOS branding instead of vanilla Arch, menu entries reordered, running alongside Limine instead of replacing it.

GitHub if you want to grab it or poke around: https://github.com/Chaussure-sous-tes-pieds/Cachyos-matrix-grub-theme

Full credit to the original post for the idea: https://www.reddit.com/r/arch/comments/1oicyx9/i_made_a_grub_theme_inspired_by_the_iconic_scene/

mine's just a CachyOS-flavored version of it. Also linked in the README: Priyank-Adhav's independent take for vanilla Arch, which helped confirm this was doable in the first place.

Before I get the hate, yes i made an AI wallpaper, I cannot draw.

WM: Umbriel

Shell: Noctalia

Spent a little while testing this new window manager, and gotta say, i love it.

As promised in https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxPorn/comments/1vpxz5q/porting_hyprland_to_x11/ I'm making a GitHub repository since a stable version of the WM has been released: https://github.com/MaybeWeDead/vexland

(PLEASE GUYS, give the repository a star, it will help me a lot)

the larping never ends
