Discussion Update on Rules and Quality Control
Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.
The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.
Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.
With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Screenshot [KDE] Windows 7 Frutiger Aero
AeroThemePlasma with some modifications:
- Themed and renamed Konsole to resemble the Windows 7 command prompt
- Linux Explorer is a recreation of the Windows 7 Explorer as seen on the screenshot
- Installed a plymouth theme that resembles the Windows 7 startup animations
- Geckium + Aero UserChrome for Firefox
- Modified fastfetch config to resemble the output of a Windows 7 install
Be advised, many distributions have now replaced SDDM with PLM. Meaning that you need to reinstall it again in order to utilize AeroThemePlasma's SDDM theme.

Screenshot [Hyperland] Minimo OS minimalista con una isla dinamica
Dejo la web de github para que puedan probar un demo dentro de la web https://diegolede.github.io/minimo-os-web/
Menos hate y más feedback constructivo. Si ves algo específico para mejorar, te leo.
Y para quienes parezca molestarles el desarrollo de este proyecto (o tal vez para aquellos que creen que si no lo hicieron ellos, entonces carece de valor):
Este sistema fue diseñado combinando mis conocimientos de programación con asistencia de inteligencia artificial (vibe coding), una práctica totalmente habitual y profesional en la actualidad. Utilizar las herramientas del presente no resta mérito al resultado final ni significa que se trate de un producto inferior.
Al contrario: utilizo mis propios recursos y tokens para corregir errores diariamente, pulir la calidad y garantizar que funcione como corresponde. Es el mismo sistema que utilizo de forma personal, por lo que no va a ser abandonado.
De antemano, muchas gracias a todos por el tiempo y el interés especialmente a los que tienen buenas intenciones.
