OK, you will have to bear with me here 'cos I haven't figured out the networking and the suggested screenshot technique doesn't seem to work for me but here is a shot of my laptop screen running the 9front operating system:

The stats system monitor is in the top left with the mothra web browser running to the right and an acme & terminal window open below.

It is using the rio window system which directly manipulates the pixel display without the need for an X server or any of that nonsense.

@HoaS
Enjoyed a lot watching their propaganda, comparisons with true events seems very creative.

I not seem to find myself on that distro (due to my inability), but since you're there hope you've fun.

@mi - awesome indeed.

Xmonad with Xfce4 panel and conky with own_window_type set to panel. Loaded the ewmh and minimize hook so wndows can be iconified and make the taskbar more useful:

Due to a hardware failure i'm now limited on my poor little raspberry pi . good news is i'm still on debian (raspbian in fact) and surprisingly this cute single board performs very well as a desktop-computer . I use e17 here on this scrot, but a bunsenlike setup (ynow openbox, tint n conky) is my next goal...

Did you ever try PiBang? It was a Crunchbang setup ported to the RasPi (including GIMP was a bit ambitious though!)

I too will humbly participate:

@Luki, is that the new version of tint2? Looks classy

I finally have my 9front desktop up and running:

I would but the sourceforge page says the latest release is from 05/2014

^ Sorry for the thread drift, but there is a BunsenLabs ARM version. Presumably that can be installed on a Pi?

nicely minimalistic.
so what was the challenge? will we get detailed installation instructions?

It was quite simple actually, just a matter of following the instructions

The only undocumented issue was dual booting with Arch but thankfully UEFI makes this much easier than it used to be.

Anyway, I haven't finished installing it yet -- the ISO is 32-bit only so I need to cross-compile a 64-bit kernel & binaries to get access to all of my 8GiB of RAM.

The alien nature of the system naturally leads to some confusion -- do you remember how it was the first time you used Linux?

Plan 9 (from which 9front was forked) was an attempt to provide a better alternative to the UNIX standard, it is a tantalisingly familiar environment but rather different once you start to configure things.

will we get detailed installation instructions?

It is basically from the user ututo (post #20) from this topic I only made minor tweak here and there.

@mi Looks brilliant! What kind of dock is that? That #bÍ logo as a dock icon is really nice.
