Ah, right, it’s the inline code. Mindslip. Thanks!

Isn’t that a wayland notification daemon already?

Edit: no, that’s dunst.

Btw, how do you do the background color thing?

On gtk desktops it’s something like Baobab. Too sad that the big guys can’t make lightweight and standalone software.

My dad’s Linux setup couldn’t log in. After a bit of investigation, starting the session manually and so on, i got a hunch and indeed; i saw in Baobab that the backup script took the wrong disk, filled up the one with home, making it slow, so the log-in thingie timed out, failing the session.

XFCE only mostly though. Stuff like tray and xfwm (the window manager) not yet.

That was one of my main reasons to move to Linux about 10 years ago; you couldn’t just replace that shitty desktop of Windows 7 with a better one (well, there was Blackbox, a Openbox fork).

Vaccinations are pretty much your choice.

Put it in a VM?

Huh? Only DE thing not being stable for me was xfce Thunar being crashy for a while. There are unstalbe DE?

magick import of imagemagick has a crosshair. Here’s my function:

screnshot() {
    ## script to make screenshots with imagemagick's import command and display them
    ## usage: screenshot <path> <name>

    _id="$(date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S")"
    _dir="${1:-$XDG_CACHE_HOME}"
    _shot="$_dir"/"${2:-shot_$_id}.png"

    mkdir -p "$_dir"
    printf '%s\n' "$_shot"
    magick import "$_shot" && \
    magick display "$_shot"
}

And good old xfce4-screenshooter, xfce4-screenshooter -r and xfce4-screenshooter -w.

Well, from my desktop, since i’m currently experimenting with niri/wayland on laptop.

• Theme: Adapta
• Icons: papirus
• Font: Roboto medium, title-bar transparency set to 70%
• panel transparency set to 60% unfocused, window transparency to 70% unfocused.

Left panel:

• window buttons
• separator
• desktop switcher

top panel:

• separator
• • transparent
• clock
• separator
• • transparent, expand
• whisker menu
• • button: only title, set to spaces
• • mode: symbol grid on laptop, lost view on desktop
• separator; transparent, expand
• status tray extension
• battery plugin (laptop)
• pulse audio module

right panel

• network monitor
• • display: bars
• systemload plugin
• sensor module
• • set to numbers

Disable info popups on laptop, since they don’t get away on touchscreen-touch.

Unzip and text editor?

And please don’t theme it.

Uhm, XFCE literally looks like Android with a sidebar on my touchscreen-notebook.

Btw, every.single.one of those one-icon plugins, like battery-indicator or pulseaudio-plugin, should at least have a icon-size chooser in their settings. Always needs debugger and some custom CSS.

No desktop environment. Get a compositor, a runner/menu/app-grid, maybe a panel or dock, set some shortcuts, done desktop environment. It’s how most of wayland outside KDE/Gnome currently works.

As Bliss is essentially just Android-x86

Thanks no, i have work to do on this thing.

I use niri. With xfce4-panel/waybar.
