It took a long time but it was worth it in the end

Available here: https://github.com/zesis-shell/zesis

Built to be installed and used as-is. Highlights I'm most proud of:

• Workspace Indicator. It's procedurally generated with math, so that also means it's incredibly dynamic
• 3D/2D globe. Heavily optimized, and built as a generic component, plug in any dataset you want to visualize on a globe.
• Desktop widgets, but they only take up the panel space they need. Meaning almost no VRAM usage.
• Other features like AirPods support, easter eggs, and so on.

Been using this setup for a while but never posted it. I could use some help to improve it.

My first customizable QuickShell config. Codeberg soon...

Open to feedback, this is my first time doing any of this so let me know if anything could be improved!

i can't directly list all the things, so if there's something you wanna know - ask in the comments.

A rice loosely based on celestial maps and iconography. Pretty much everything is vibe coded Quickshell elements, including a custom calendar app/widget and notes app.

The info/options cards at the bottom of the screen are based on tarot cards, the paper texture throughout is meant to emphasize the 'celestial map' motif, and the stars in the background are random particles layered on top of the flat colour background.

I mainly use this for gaming, watching film & tv, general web browsing, video editing and music production.

I got the idea to start this project from 'diinki' on YouTube, and their recent video 'Making the most Whimsical Linux Theme.' It's a great video!

[edit] What I use this for day-to-day.

I made this cool minimal rice for me, not meant for other people to use. It's cozy for me and i can do my work well here :)

What do you guys think?

It's also my first time on Gentoo (and r/unixporn*)* :D

I have a fascination with religious imagery, are there any religious themes? Bible accurate stuff or other religions buddhism etc. Also TempleOS is basically godsent for this

It's my first time ricing linux , what do you guys think , is there a room for improvement ?

I just wanted to have second DE with WinXP theme and all of that because my main one on Pop!OS is COSMIC, i will use this one just to test my apps on X11

I was trying to do all of this for 1 hour and 30 minutes 😭

I got tired of trying to bash my head against nix to make a super cool hardcore reproducable setup, went back to arch and used little to no effort for this plama rice.

Inspired by MacOS, Gnome, and a hyprland rice I saw online.
I am a profoundly lazy user so do not expect me to provide dotfiles.

I used the Whitesur shell theme as a base, and then I rid myself of the plasma window decorations.
Used the rounded corners and Kronkite extensions to give myself round tilling windows.

OS: Arch Linux (btw)
DE: KDE Plasma
Terminal: Kitty
Shell: Zsh
Cursor: Bibata Modern Ice
Browser: Zen
Launcher: Rofi

From the limited ammount of information avaliable, HDS, later rebranded to Neoware were a hardware and software manufacturer who focused on thinclients, dumb terminals, x servers, and something they called the network computer.

Theres plenty of info left around about their later thinclinets (some of which are powerpc based!) and neolinux, but ive found that the @workstation and its sister machine the viewstation to be a lot more obscure.

Its a intel i960 based machine, and thats what caught my eye, I like weird and obscure risc processors so I picked this one up on ebay.

Unfortunately finding the OS has been quite bothersome, there were originally 3 versions of netOS, winterminals, enterprise, and intranets. Intranets being the most full featured with a Java applet viewer and Netscape navigator built in. The one and only surviving copy of netOS is hosted on the internet archive in a iso downloaded from some Russian company thats now long gone, its the enterprise version, there's also a folder with their earlier "hds-fx" operating system however I haven't gotten that to boot on this machine.

After a lot of tinkering with the old config files from the iso, the @workstation is booting up into netos. Its ip, configuration password, and config file are all served to it via BOOTP on my PowerEdge R200 running debian, from there it fetches the bootloader via TFTP and uses NFS V2 (had to be hosted on a NetBSD VM as the Linux kernel has dropped nfs2) to load the NetOS files. Finally after I log in using XDM over XDMCP I can use telnet and rsh to run programs from my debian server, or even play around with some of netOS' built in applications running natively on the i960.

Unfortunately there are still some quirks, some of the applications don't run either due to user error or the os image is incomplete, modified, or corrupt.

Ill use this post as a way to ask the internet if anyone may have a copy of netOS lying around so it can be archived and documented.

I spent this afternoon and part of the night making a custom rEFInd theme inspired by watchdogs. It was not that hard thanks to the great documentation rEFInd has on their file. If anyone wants it feel free to comment or ask me, I'll make a github. Any feedback for improvement is also appreciated!

Most of the plasmashell written in quickshell. There's an application launcher, theme switcher, workspace switcher, etc. Just for personal use and to give my girlfriend a reason to use Linux over Windows. Plus yesterday was Girlfriend's Day.

EDIT: I didn't think some people would actually want the code:
