It’s not the best, but for my first customization attempt, I’m certainly proud of it :3 What do you all think?
Unix porn on c/196 is bliss. Thank you, nice build
EndeavourOS gang EndeavourOS gang >:3
also love the zellij layout! wish I stuck with it but I had no real reason to since I use i3wm anyway lmao
Yep, my first Linux distro after finally abandoning Windows. There’s so much to explore! I wanna try some new desktop environments like Gnome, maybe try out Mint or something else Debian-based some time, and either once I get an AMD GPU or it gets more stable with Nvidia, try out Hyprland :3
The customizability of all this is awesome and I love it so much so far! The only problem is, as you’d expect, certain games don’t work well :c
ah crap, sorry to hear that. i bet it’s games with EAC.
i don’t recall the last time i had issues with a game, but then again i don’t play the kinds of games that might require EAC and also don’t have an nvidia gpu.
I think it’s mostly a problem with rolling updates. Things like Deep Rock Galactic worked perfectly fine for a while and then suddenly the initial screen was entirely black for whatever reason, every time I tried to start it. The game is still playable though, so it’s mostly a minor inconvenience. Also, with Team Fortress 2 I have to first switch on Proton, then swap back to native, because it doesn’t start at all with proton and if I try to just start it without swapping back and forth, it turns off both my side monitors and changes the middle one’s aspect ratio to 5:2 for whatever inexplicable reason. That happened after an update as well. Only one game is entirely broken so far, the rest is just minor inconveniences and I’m waiting for new updates to maybe fix them again.
So yeah, it’s mostly fine :3
Hyprland has NVIDIA patches specific to them by the way, they have a guide for how to set it up for Arch users on their wiki. There’s surprising number of people using Hyprland with NVIDIA because of it.
Alright, now I’m intrigued
What about game support though? I’ve heard Proton/Wine stuff in general is a bit less functional on Wayland/Hyprland and with how on the edge it is for some games, I’m not in the mood to give more functionality up for better aesthetics
No, XWayland on Hyprland (and wlroots in general) has major issues with NVIDIA. My understanding is that it should be fine for Wayland apps, but if you need gaming then you’ll need to go somewhere else. Gaming on GNOME Wayland was fine for me when I still had used an NVIDIA card, I imagine Plasma Wayland isn’t too different.
First time hearing of Endeavor. Looks clean AF.
I initially wanted to go Manjaro, but was firmly discouraged. EndeavourOS was recommended as a more terminal-centric alternative. The looks here can be replicated on anything with KDE Plasma though, so there are a lot of other distros to choose from with which you can get this same look. Get the Dracula theme, make some new panels, and add widgets to your liking and you basically got what I have here :3
I’ve stuck with PopOS for a while but I may try it out
Does EndeavourOS have a proper btrfs setup with proper subvolumes and compression? I normally use archinstall because does btrfs properly
I mean, I’m using btrfs and I assume everything’s fine? Didn’t run into any issues so far, apart from when I accidentally forgot to put my swap file into its own subvolume and timeshift didn’t let me do backups anymore for a bit until I fixed that, but as far as I know there’s an option in the installer where it does all that for you, I just forgot to tick the box
If timeshift works that means that the subvolumes are done properly. I’ll have to check if it enables compression by default, since that has saved me a ridiculous amount of space for my games
Nice! I really like the colours. By the way, have you played Hacknet? Your wallpaper is from that game!
Yep, randomly found it as I was skimming through the game files and thought it suited my general colour theme very well :3
Great game and the dlc is even better, especially the music
the music is awesome, I still listen to it years after completing the game and the dlc
game itself was epic too, if only there were more like it
GPU: Nvidia
Oof, that must’ve been a bitch to configure.
Nope, worked perfectly fine out of the box. I heard bad things about Nvidia and Linux, but I didn’t really run into any issues that I can tell are Nvidia’s fault so far.
actually I also have an Nvidia GPU (1050 mobile i think) and it was not too hard to configure. also I think the newer generations are even easier to configure. PS. I am using open suse tumbleweed
NVIDIA has improved a ton in the last year and a half. It was terrible before like two years ago, but now it’s getting close to on par, especially on xorg it’s better than AMD a lot of the time even. I mean, just a couple weeks ago AMD fucking broke their GPU modules in the kernel, so anyone like me that uses AMD graphics on Arch has to use an older kernel until the fix reaches stable in like a month.
Thee best rice is the one you’re happy with
I see that Guilty Gear theme music playing in the background. Nice setup, but that’s what I personally really want to talk about.
Do we have a GGST or Guilty Gear general community yet? Or even a general fighting games community? I miss seeing Sol memes
Edit: oh man and with Asuka having just come out the lab nerds must be losing their minds, but I refuse to go on reddit to check, I should look on discord
Hell yeah, EndeavourOS! It’s the real Purple Stuff.
I like purpl :>
When I was using Plasma, I actually preferred to put the app widget (I forget what it’s called, it’s what you have on your dock) in the upper-left corner, and have it show each window on only the current desktop with titles. That way it was consistent to use super + a number key to switch between windows.
But yeah, it’s pretty, and it’s always nice to have a desktop theme matching the nvim theme. Have you tried setting nvim and konsole to be transparent? I think it looks better that way.
Maybe I’ll go back when Plasma 6 comes out, there are some interesting things they have that could pull me away from GNOME. GNOME’s activities overview along with the tiling assistant extension are just plain better than anything Plasma has from what I’ve seen, but Plasma easily has the better app suite, better fractional scaling support etc, and GNOME devs being pissy about supporting objectively good things like server side decorations makes their app ecosystem more closed off than I’d prefer.
