Already posted in the Linux thread, might as well post here too :3

EndeavourOS, i3wm. I borrowed the polybar config, but I wrote basically everything else myself.

Also made a lil thing for animated wallpapers for when I'm in the mood for them.

One of these days I’d like to try i3wm. Hanging around on Gnome because it does what I need.

It's pretty good, you just gotta set it up the way you like, it just takes a while to do so. Though I suppose that's true for anything.

What I think turns a lot of people off from it is the fact that it's kinda ugly when you first launch it (and it's a little unintuitive if you havent been around the wm block before). I have my full config hosted in a private github repo, I wouldnt mind making it public in a day or so to share if you'd like some reference from it.

i3wm? why not KDE, or Xcfe?

I just prefer WMs by themselves since I'm more keyboard-centric, and also like window tiling. They're also more hackable (easier customizable) imo. Dont get me wrong, KDE and XFCE are great- just not exactly for me, especially considering some of my machines arent exactly rocking in the hardware department. Just makes it easier to run, ya know?

macOS is honestly awesome.
As a Linux user for a hot minute, I’ve been enjoying it. It does have some Apple problems and annoyances but it’s at least not shoving ads into my OS and other nonsense of Windows

I've been mostly a Windows user throughout my entire life - before swiftly moving onto Linux because of how increasingly bloated Windows is, and the fact that there are so many unpatched vulnerabilities.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
