What does your non-Debian desktop look like?

Steam on Alpine LInux

Installed with flatpak?

Yes

It's quite ridiculous really because the Alpine system takes up less than 1GiB for the full graphical desktop but the Steam flatpak & runtime adds another 2.2GiB in shared libraries alone

[None1975]

Yes

Yes, it is really ridiculous.

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Ah yes, that's right, you're not a gamer are you? You don't know what you're missing...

Anyway, back on topic with Haiku, this is the latest nightly snapshot running under QEMU/KVM:



It's very responsive, even just running the VESA driver (I didn't bother setting up spice), so it should run well on low-end hardware.

The long-awaited Beta release should be out soon

The configuration is such that the user can choose any foreground and background colour the hex palette has to offer (e.g., #000000 to #FFFFFF); the background, font, icons, and all images/video (via a gamma adjustment so not viewable in pic) will all change to that color. As can be seen, the icons in the falkon browser have changed to yellow (#FFFF00), but they can be any color instantly with one press of a button.

The configuration

Of what? Which window manager & operating system is that?

9front have a new release:


RUN FROM ZONE!

[debiman]

it's been a while.
i don't much change the layout, just themes/colors.
i noticed that most light themes are too light for me, and most dark themes are too dark (with glaring fonts).
and there's only very few "medium" themes that get it right: enough contrast, pleasing to look at, support for gtk2 & 3...
oomox helps with that, but isn't perfect either.

OpenBSD data server (base OpenBSD/outbound originated traffic only (no ports forwarded)) that reverse sshfs mounts one of its folders as a mount point on LiveBoot FatDog linux desktop system mountpoint. Fatdog wirelessly sshfs a mountpoint to my Android phone (SSHelper installed on phone).



Fatdog boots pristine OS and clean/fresh browser image at each reboot (Google Chrome browser, stored as a (read only/compressed) squashed filesystem with cache set to /tmp ... for ease of version upgrading.

[Head_on_a_Stick]

^ Fascinating setup, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I used to do that with Arch & Debian using btrfs snapshots.

My Alpine Linux desktop:



I've switched it from busybox init to openrc-init, only three commands are needed:

Code: Select all

# ln -sf /sbin/openrc-init /sbin/init # replace busybox init
# ln -sr /etc/init.d/agetty{,.tty1} # create service file for tty1
# rc-update add getty.tty1 # enable tty1, repeat for other ttys

So the box now boots from 195 lines of C

My Alpine Linux desktop:

Did you notice that?

[Head_on_a_Stick]

Did you notice that?

Yes, I saw it on lobste.rs a few days ago, I run the edge repositories so my version of apk was already fixed by the time the vulnerability went public.

I don't allow remote access on my box so the bug didn't actually affect me anyway, just all those poor Cloud users

Hopefully this will encourage more donations to Alpine because they are very popular at the moment.

I had a play with conky, doesn't work for me as I usually run window maximized and the things I need from it run in my panel anyway. I liked the colour scheme I had though, so mixed a couple themes to match it in icewm. icewm is nice but not handling gaps on workspace borders is a killer for me. It means only half my fittstool launchers work. New release of icewm a few days a go so I should go try it in case it's fixed. or file a bug! I see they added wallpaper switching.

Talking of gaps, i3-gaps Keeps making me think of holes in a boat because it makes absolutely no sense to me at all

edit: Bug filled and issue fixed. It turned out to be a bug in fittstool that only occurred if more than 100 characters were used in the launcher line.

Amazing Future is coming!!, That's how linux system will look like in future, in some few fears.

[debiman]

^ no, that's what they thought the future would look like - in 1982.

very nice.
what is this weird double panel on the left monitor, is this by design?

is cubic player able to play FLAC, AAC, M4A, OGG etc?
can it stream internet radio?

pathetic writer - lovely. gotta get it, if only for the name and the "no warranty" in the stausbar.

Thanks.

It's the standard panel (taskbar) the setting are in preferences
TaskBarDoubleHeight=1 # 0/1
There are extensive config options in icewm for both looks and usage but most people fire it up says it's ugly and disappear. A handy built in run dialog springs to mind and windows cascade iirc

http://siag.nu/ Part of siag office spreadsheet, writer and a few other bits n bobs. Very old and unsupported but also very neat.

Open Cubic Player seems to play most formats no streaming radio support that I could see but there are plugins so it maybe possible. It's also really old but unlike siag is still supported.

not me!
icewm is great for people who want a simple, familiar desktop paradigm.
it has billions of themes, iirc.
but i need something that can do manual tiling (keyboard shortcuts to move & resize windows) - icewm doesn't have much there. iirc.

could not find a way to compile it myself, or a package.
but since it's clearly a word processor and not a text editor, i'm not so interested anyway.

i see.
i tried it once and something put me off; maybe i should try again.

Nice icons in Openbox menu.

Nice icons in Openbox menu.

Thanks mate, Icons in fact are chatsheets for ttf-font-awesome-4 from Arch AUR.

I simple set it manually on Openbox menu.xml

The configuration

Of what? Which window manager & operating system is that?

Really sorry about the delay... It's Debian 9 with i3 wm.

As to the config, it's really just a bunch of scripts written in sh: I made backups of all the config files which use hex colour codes (i.e., .Xresources -> .Xresources.orig, muttrc -> muttrc.orig...). Then I replaced the hex codes with new and distinct colour identifiers (i.e., #000000 -> @background, #ffffff -> @foreground in .orig files). These .orig files are then copied back to match their default file names (i.e., .Xresources.orig -> .Xresources) and have their identifiers changed according to the colour the user picks (i.e., @foreground -> #ff0000...). The mouse and icons are changed using 'convert'.

That is nice, I like FVWM myself, if I do use a WM on Minix 3, that is what I use.
Here, below, is the server (Minix 3) , connected to it with Iridium browser, the server is on a QEMU VM, the host is OpenBsd, and sometimes get confused as to where I am.

Any way, I am here,...
In the top Xterm, I am logged into the server via ssh, not using any WM, the Xterm window at the bottom, is the OpenBsd host terminal,... and the WM on the OpenBsd host is OpenBox.

Is this Minix 3.3 or 3.4rc? I've heard that 3.3 doesn't do xorg. Love the ASCII racoon!
