Re: January 2025 Screenshot Thread

^ Thanks chroot but the xwayland package doesn't supply any dinit service files.

Turns out it's because of GDM rather than labwc, which would have been obvious had I checked the process tree.

@beaker: I am liking it very much so far and it's the only system I've been using recently.

The musl libc/dinit/apk base is perfectly aligned with my preferences and whilst I would chose an OpenBSD base for the userland tools the FreeBSD alternatives are more similar to the GNU ecosystem and so the culture shock is lessened, and I think the FreeBSD utilities are quite perfomative.

I have to admit their choice of FreeBSD's /bin/sh implementation as the default interactive shell is a bit too bare-bones even for me — it has basic tab-completion but doesn't offer brace expansion, which is critical for me when manipulating files & directories. Fortunately the latest version of OpenBSD's default interactive shell (ported by @ibara, one of the OpenBSD devs) is in the repositories, maintained by Chimera's head dev, so I use that instead.

The system is very simple and clear, with some useful abstractions for systemd-boot and even EFI_STUB booting in addition to the usual `update-grub` wrapper. Automatic kernel post-upgrade scripts are run from /etc/kernel.d/, which has allowed me to generate unified kernel images and sign them for Secure Boot support.

I was using Arch but my laptop wouldn't come back from a blank screen and Proton games kept crashing so I tried Debian stable and got the same problems there (perhaps unsurprisingly because I had to use the Liquorix kernel) so I was briefly forced into Windows before trying Chimera as a multi-boot alternative. To my surprise both the blank screen problem and the Proton games problem are not present in Chimera so I'm sticking with it. I presume Steam works because it's a flatpak, which is developed by Valve themselves, but the blank screen thing is really weird because the graphics stack should be exactly the same as Arch & Debian. Musl magic?

Anyway, here's a shot of the GTK4 applications to stay on-topic:

I really like GTK4.

Tried Chimera Plasma Live. Very nice system, indeed. Not many packages available in the repos though. Need to explore its cports/cbuild...

Same old bulldust from me, other than the wallpaper.

Yesterday I spent most of the morning tweaking a new colour scheme, changing everything to suit. Ended up using it for 5 minutes and went back to my usual.

10,000 packages isn't bad for a distribution that's just entered beta. There are lots of flatpaks, if you don't mind that sort of thing.

Check out /etc/apk/world — the package manager really is very nice, and even quicker than pacman.

They certainly do, one of my albums of 2024.

P.S. Nice pastel colors.

Same here, we were spoiled with so many high quality albums last year.

Thanks, I like those colours too.
