• Hey! I made a small python script to periodically change the desktop background on Ubuntu 20.04LTS

  This is why I found variety which does the exact same thing though it also has some config options and the option to get different images from online sources. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine alternative on Linux Mint

  I really like Variety: https://peterlevi.com/variety/ (I don't think you can grab animated wallpaper, but maybe you can). I actually use it to grab images from r/SkyPorn, r/EarthPorn, r/waterporn, r/DessertPorn & r/EarthPorn. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Last time it took me 30 minutes

  Pfff... Or you can just use Variety and eliminate the need to even download new wallpapers altogether. 🙄. 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.

  > 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.

• 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).

• 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
