INFEST. THE RATS' NEST.

hell yeah, one of my favorite King Gizz albums, and with probably their sickest album art.

Your setup is great too! The bar looks really good, and gruvbox ties it all together really nicely.

    This looks amazing, and I’m intrigued!

    I’m a long-time headless Linux user but am now in the process of migrating away from Windows to Linux as my daily driver. So far I’ve used PopOS, Ubuntu and Mint to give them all a try. What I don’t understand at this time is how to replicate what you’ve got here. Looking at your linked repo I’m assuming that’s your way of sharing all of the configs that drive this look.

    Can I take Ubuntu, for instance, and install the necessary applications and then apply your configs to get close to what you have here, or is there something more specific I need to do to accomplish it?

    as @UsernameNotFound404 mentioned I'm using Niri WM which I cannot recommend to new Linux users. If you are coming from Windows I can recommend some distro that uses KDE desktop environment or Cinnamon Desktop (Linux Mint, really newcomer friendly). Once you get comfortable with Linux you can install Niri or any other window manager to play around and learn stuff.

    The key to such heavy customisation in Linux is using a different window manager. The distributions you listed all come with big name ones like GNOME or KDE which are awesome to get started with Linux. OP uses sway so have a look at that. It’s a lot of work to set things up if you go down that path. Make sure you don’t make things so hard on yourself that you end up going back to Windows.

    That makes sense. I’m familiar with the concepts at least. Thank you!

    And yeah, the plan here is to acclimate myself so when I set my kids up with computers they’ll use it without realizing there ever was a need to use Windows.

  • That CPU brings back memories of the good old days without politics and AI bs.

    Absolutely beautiful. This is the kind of build that flexs Linux superiority. 💪
