I'm trying out sway.
Empty wallpaper:

Browser:

Cmus and ranger:

Setup is simple sway with multimedia keybindings, cmus, mpv, ranger, grim for screenshots and of course my favorite editor....nano! Swaybar font is Dejavu Sans 10.
I have full GNOME, as well. This is Sid with enabled experimental repo just for sway (I hope not for long).

I fixed up my waybar a bit. Here is the new look:

Also, I added tiny gaps and disabled window borders. Windows on the image are in float mode to expose the wallpaper.

Finally got around to packaging a custom version of dwm 6.2:

It has the attachaside patch, a slightly taller panel and my own config.def.h patch with a scheme to match the Greybird GTK theme :)

Debian buster booting with OpenRC (using sysvinit as PID1):

Image

All I had to do to get the graphical desktop working was add my user to the input group :)

The systemd-shim package is not installed (nor is it available for buster or sid).

Debian buster now has elogind (thanks to the Devuan developers) so udev is the only thing left using libsystemd0:

Code: Select all

shinken:~$ pgrep -a systemd
672 /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
shinken:~$
Perhaps eudev will become available in sid soon and remove this requirement.

My grey hair is getting matted? What do you mean by "input group?" Being in a user group isn't enough?

I'm glad you succeeded with OpenRC in Buster. Yes, elogind and eudev should help eventually.

Code: Select all

# adduser $user input
(Replace $user with the actual user name.)

I'm pretty sure that's a security risk though because the input group allows that user to listen to the keyboard inputs of other users.

Before my user was added to that group the keyboard & touchpad didn't work if the box was booted with sysvinit.

The console session still wasn't working properly though.

^ Nice!

You may want to try fiddling with the letterSpace option in urxvt, your terminal font looks a little stretched.

Testing the RC1 installer again, went for the full GNOME this time:

Image Image

That system is nicely contained within a btrfs subvolume shared with another subvolume (on the same partition) holding my Alpine Linux system.

The installer doesn't support subvolumes (AFAIK) so I had to use QEMU instead, quick HowTo:

First create a raw disk image:

Code: Select all

qemu-img create -f raw disk.img 10G
Use QEMU and the RC1 installer on the image then mount it:

Code: Select all

# mount -o offset=$((2048*512)) disk.img /mnt
And finally rsync the contents from /mnt/ to the subvolume.

Remember to update /etc/fstab afterwards and also install the btrfs-progs package when the new system is booted to add the kernel modules to the initramfs image.

^Yeah, GNOME is finally great on Debian. I just stick to stock Adwaita theme and icons, they look modern.

GNOME has always been great on Debian :)

I like the theme but I can't stand the icons, Faba is good though (IMO).

Anyway, Night Light scrot to keep this on-topic:

That is nice, looks good.

Below, to me this is really nice, I like it:
Image
I know, with VM 's quite often a system and programs will run a little slow, that is to be
expected, so of course on real hardware everything usually seems better.
But, I found it interesting, on the other VM, also Debian Buster, even OpenBox responded slower then it would on bare metal, not much , but a little. So any way, on this one I decided to try "fluxbox", have not used it in years. I was happy and surprised to see it is "snappy", quick to respond, and seems to be ideal for on a VM.
