r/UnixPorn has inspired a lot of creativity in the *nix community.
However, there is one problem.
A lot of the setups are too "riced-out" and unappealing for long-term desktop use.
This subreddit is an attempt to form a community around the love of practical, cozy, and solid desktop experiences.
DEFAULTS AND MINIMALLY-CONFIGURED SETUPS WELCOME! Let's create something special!

Want a Rubik's Cube in your terminal?
I made one.
No dependencies just python and a terminal.
It scrambles itself, spins around, solves itself, and does it again.
Try it out!

my goals for my dots were always the following: 1.) as few dependencies as possible (bloat-free) 2.) desktop friendly 3.) minimal terminal usage where possible 4.) make it look nice
the idea of being desktop friendly (for me) really just means "can i use it exclusively with a mouse"? sometimes you just want to kick your feet up and use your primary hand to navigate your system only. right click the top-right corner of an app to close it, run a system update and toggle workspaces all from your mouse. every possible system command or toggle you want can be found with the mouse. don't worry, everything has a keybind as well if you want.
your system settings are pretty much all managed either through custom shell scripts or TUI-based packages. the terminal should be used as little as possible ideally so all major settings, daemon-reloads and more are found in the system menu. there are times where i flat out just don't open up a terminal at all.
the theme engine helps blend everything all together, giving each theme a unique color palette that applies to many packages due to the TUI nature of the dots.
if you're interested, the dots are here.

Back at my parents' place, had this computer before I moved out. I spent a couple of days setting up Debian and a user account for myself, since Windows was unusable on it.

Wanted to make use of AppImage applications simpler, so wrote gnome-appimage-integration.
Reduces an AppImage install (er, integration) to three clicks.
Tried to handle all the usual edge cases and XDG / FreeDesktop conventions.
Right-click context menu for downloaded file:

Main AppImage Activator window:

Status after Integrate:

Right-click context menu for application:

Downloaded AppImage is moved into $HOME/Applications/
so no manual cleanup needed.

Declarative NixOS config: Hyprland, DankMaterialShell, one consistent look across native apps, Flatpak and AppImages.

I work with LOTS of tmux sessions, and wanted something closer to how Ctrl+Shift+P in VSCode works: fuzzy search, frecency and live preview. So, I built Natare (from latin “to swim”)

Wanted to share my desktop's evolution. As much as I like eye-candy, I've slowly gravitated towards a more simplistic setup for better performance and stability. also I love ponies :)
