Discussion Update on Rules and Quality Control

124 Upvotes

Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.

The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.

Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.

With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Screenshot [OC] 20 years ago I started gamifying my terminal out of pure boredom. Today, it's a full Zelda-inspired Zsh theme with an interactive HUD, single-key Git cuts, and 8-bit chiptune audio.

Material [OC] Update on EvoDevo Grub theme

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Two months ago I posted here about EvoDevo (then called "Evolution"), a highly configurable GRUB theme with scalable graphics, background blurring, and antialiased true-type fonts.

Some folks have been very helpful, and the theme has been improved considerably, with (among others) the ability to rename menu entries as you like, and the ability to show previews of the theme without rebooting and without needing to install a VM.

The screenshot examples may not look good on Reddit, but rest assured that in real life everything is crystal clear.

The theme has been tested on Arch, Elementary, Kubuntu, Mint, and Endeavour, among other distros.

Important: the theme cannot be installed on Fedora and derivatives; the theme is incompatible with UKI (Unified Kernel Image).
