• OpenBSD KDE Plasma Desktop

  Well of course they're not trying to replace macOS, for instance, but when an OS gets big enough to have offshoots and different front-ends and desktop environments and so forth, one would assume there are at least experimental attempts emphasizing ease of use, just like there are experiments to develop offshoots for any other purpose, from power users to pen testers. At least like, someone's toy project on GitHub... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Making cross-platform software using Linux that also runs on BSD

  Oh, you might also look at the Lumina desktop which strives for minimal dependencies and portability across Linux+BSDs. Source: 11 months ago

• [7b7b] a fork of the lumina desktop

  DBus was used only in this part of the code, also I wanted to follow what lumina is claiming about not using linux frameworks. Source: over 1 year ago

• Show HN: Lumina Desk – digital desk for health and productivity

  Names are hard, but not to be confused with Lumina Desktop? https://lumina-desktop.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• The Reality

  There are at least two more independent Qt-based DEs: Lumina and Deepin. Also, MATE and Cinnamon are forks of GNOME. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Hancho – A simple and pleasant build system in ~500 lines of Python

  This is sort of the suckless approach. Most (all?) of their projects are customized by editing the source and recompiling. From their window manager, dwm: dwm is customized through editing its source code, which makes it extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which isn't known at compile time, except window titles and status text read from the root window's name. You don't have to learn... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool

  > Their philosophy[1] says nothing of the sort Their philosophy doesn't, but their page for dwm[0] does :D "Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though."

• Introduction

  I was looking for a minimal linux distribution that is light on resources, and I found one called Metis Linux, which is based on Artix. The interesting part of metis is that it wasn't using a desktop environment, but a windows manager called dwm. At the time, metis linux had a minimal bash script installer via chroot. This took longer to setup, but I had a better understanding of what the setup involved rather... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Hi guys I am new to linux and want to install gentoo ok i tried many distrues before so how can i make gentoo look like this? a windows telling manager?

  The window manager in this screenshot is DWM in floating mode (https://dwm.suckless.org) with a lot of patches and a compositor (to make DWM support transparency). And the terminal is st with some patches. Both should be compiled from source manually. And both are configured in C. Source: 11 months ago

• I Have a Dirty Secret. I’m a Software Craftsman

  In my programs there's usually a core insight or mental model that makes the code simple and straightforward to understand. What does someone need to have in their mind to understand this program? Then time happens and then the code is adapted and refactored and more features are added, then the original gem of mental model is hidden by hundreds of files and the algorithm is split into 10s of files for the little... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
