• 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

• "We understand" ;)

  This is partially why I use tools like i3 (/ sway). I like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. It just works. It is boring in the best way possible. Source: 5 months ago

• what machines have you used for development, and what do you prefer?

  I use MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) with Manjaro as OS using i3 as a window manager. It isn't perfect, but I'm thrilled with it. I have been a Mac OS user for the last 15 years and wouldn't change what I have now for a Mac OS because I don't need more than what I'm using for development. Source: 10 months ago

• Machine for pentesting and general use?

  For daily usage I really like kubuntu with i3wm, but it takes some configuration and getting used to the shortcuts, but it's well worth it. Source: 11 months ago

• What's the difference between Gnome and KDE? Do applications written for one work in the other?

  Some window managers are meant to be used as-is, and provide a minimalist yet functional environment that use very little resources or give power users an almost HUD-like interface. Examples of those window managers are OpenBox and i3wm for X, and Weston and Hyprland for Wayland. Source: 11 months ago

• tiling window manager

  I did use i3 exclusively for a few years. The reasons I chose it were. Source: 11 months ago
