That's probably the best Unixporn I've seen on Lemmy
Wow wow! Absolutely love this, especially the neofetch edit, to the guy smoking!
That's Snusmumrik from the Moomin series)
You know I thought it was! Fellow Scandinavian?
Nope, unfortunately( But the moomins are pretty popular in Russia
It's basically GNOME.
I love Gnome's look, but this is better.
such vibin much wow
shit this is basically what i have but dimensions better
This is absolutely gorgeous! How would one go about cloning this onto their system? I have been using NixOS for a bit now but have not messed with home-manager or flakes yet. Is it possible to just clone all your files and redeploy? Any articles or videos explaining the process to clone your setup? Thanks in advance!
In order to figure out, what's Nix, how to use flakes and home manager, I'd recommend watching LibrePhoenix. It's absolutely fantastic guides. His repo with Nix config is also great, it's the one, which I'm gonna take as a reference
Thank you very much for the recommendation! I will start learning and await your updates on this project!
Please, give me some time, the repo is messy as hell now. If I were you, I would not do that now. I'm going to refactor the code, make it more modular in order to allow several WMs and themes. I'm also gonna introduce instructions for installing all of this)
However, the best way to enjoy system you use is configuring everything yourself, though it requires some time. In the past, when I copied configurations from unixporn posts, I always ended with dropping them and reconfiguring everything, as I like it)
Holy crap I can't believe you modified the README so fast. Thank you so much for the extra detail and clarity, your contributions to the community are invaluable.
The code have not been refactored yet! README is not correct now. I'll let you know, when everything is ready)
This looks pretty awesome.
I don't have a Linux machine anymore (only a Synology NAS) but if I had one I'd be in this rabbit hole too lol (tweaking it to look beautiful AF).
Nice! Someday I would like join the Nix+Hyprland club. Does NixOs take up a lot of space with the cached/previous versions of programs?
Not really. I didn't really check how much space other snapshots, e.g. btrfs ones, takes, but now I deleted 630 generations (basically snapshots), and it resulted in freeing 11.5 Gb of space, not much IMO)
Looks really nice! Any plans on getting an ~~automated icon theme~~ automatic icon pack recoloring?
automated icon theme?
Do you mean smth like this?
Yes! Exactly!
Sure, it doesn't seem difficult to do, looks nice
hyprland is definitely going to be my next compositor
Since I learned of hyperland I've been very tempted to switch from Plasma but I spent so much time setting my desktop up it's not worth it.
Waiting for Plasma6, will give it a try
Same here. Hyoerland uses too many resources to be worth the effort, but I kinda feel the same with other wms: the default configuration is too basic and ungly, and configuring them take way too much time. I wish there was some kind of easier way to config that up.
How do you get those inverted bottom corners on your Waybar?
This is not possible. Corners were done with ags. Actually, now the whole bar is ags, I don't use waybar anymore. But the design is the same
The first picture is a non floating window? Kind of perfect example of why tiling wms are not suitable for everyone. :D
On the left, it's the floating terminal with neofetch. On the right - the notification center (SwayNotificationCenter), which can opened with clicking on the bar.
NixOs icon on the left side of the bar opens nwg-drawer, which is shown on the last screenshot)
I use Hyprland with mouse without any problems. Though, I have MX Master 3s, it has additional button, which's mapped to Meta in my case. Also, there's a right click menu, implemented with ags (similar to openbox menu). So, I can open, close, resize and move windows just with my mouse
I use Hyprland with mouse without any problems.
I see your problem :D (don't take my remarks too personal, please)
