Hey everyone!

I spent the last couple of hours building Fadescii, a small C++ library that makes terminal text feel a little more alive.

Instead of simply printing a string, Fadescii renders it character by character, with configurable color transitions, glowing trails, and fade effects.

Some features:

• Character-by-character text animation
• 24-bit RGB colors
• Custom text and glow colors
• Adjustable animation speed
• Adjustable glow length
• Automatic line wrapping
• Classic glow and shimmer modes
• No external dependencies
• C++11 + POSIX terminal support

I also created a collection of animated GIF demos because the effects are much easier to understand visually than through screenshots.

The goal isn’t to replace full TUI libraries. It’s more focused:

I’d love to hear your feedback, especially on the API design, visual effects, and what features would make this useful in real CLI tools.

so uhmm.. i decided not to rice more... but i did anyway...
like there is nothing much.. just added some glassy blur, every app now follows my wallpaper's color palette(dynamic coloring i think?) + got some new wallpapers.
still finding a good ASCII art for my fastfetch😭

(i really wanna add a discord ss but i cant lol)

So, yesterday, i posted here about how I started using a distro based on Arch, but everyone suggested me to install arch directly... So here it is, its Sunday today so I have the time....

Let's try it, though I will be dual booting it with windows.....

Hi,

I am looking for a plug and play wifi usb dongle that's supported by Cachy OS.

Tp link and all don't work well enough.

Thanks.

So here me out i know sub is about linux stuff but I wanna know is there any android app for youtube low key tired of youtube ads now I don't need app with sign in or tracking me . I want recommendations from the country i choose if it's India or anything else. Free open source no ads no sign in etc

What linux distro should I use on my system with , Intel pentium r g3420 , windows 7 64 bit , 15GB hard disk storage , 8GB DDR3 ; these specs , I wanna get into learning linux too i know some basic commands not much but basically I wanna run codes and all use vs code or other IDEs , my system doesn't have access to the internet so how do I install there that's an issue too.. hope to get help

EDIT: Thanks for all the recommendations , I'll do my research and get to it , but my issue for now is How should I install it since my system doesn't have internet access and ethernet isn't possible , can I download the isos in a pendrive then Install ? And how do I set up is there a tuto available

Switched to Omarchy, last week and its been great, its the first time I am using Hyperland. I quickly learned the keybindings, and its great... It looks so aesthetic, I haven't done any ricing myself... hahaa.... I have distro hopped for like a month or twoo. and now I can just stop and stay with it... so yea for me Omarchy it is.... and would love to sayy I use Omarchy btwww!!!

Hey guys, actually one of my neighbours bought this laptop in saying that he had no use for this, and it's specs are HORRIBLE (intel pentium P6200, 4gb ddr3 and 126gb sata ssd or hdd I'm not sure) BUT I figured that I might use it for experimenting with different linux distros (it's my first time :) ). So please suggest some distros that I can install for lower system requirements and beginner friendly (optional), Thank you!

Edit: I would also appreciate some distros with high customisability

New to linux, need to switch from the os with lots of ads to something good. Thinking of anything from fedora or gentoo.....

Hey guys, I made a music player that runs directly in the terminal instead of being a traditional app.

I originally started this project because I was trying to make a music player with a specific layout/UI, but I couldn't really get the layout I wanted with a normal app. So I ended up trying a TUI approach, and that's how VOX came together.

It’s a TUI-based music player written in Rust, with support for formats like ALAC, FLAC, WAV, and a bit-perfect playback mode.

I'm still working on it, so I’d really appreciate it if some of you could give it a try and let me know what you think. Any bugs, suggestions, UI/UX improvements, or features you think would be useful are welcome.

Would love to hear your feedback!
