Re: 2025 Screenshot Thread

Exactly, it took many years to get it just how I like it. I don't want or need change

I've used linux for many years, since Windows Vista was launched. Then I went away from MS. But it will take me the years I have left to achieve what I've seen so far from what you've got.  My technical skills are (as my name states) close2zero

I'm a Linux user since Ubuntu 8.04. My technical skills are minimal.

@Döbbie03: That is actually true. Using Linux is kind of fun. Maybe it's the freedom to do whatever you want with your system, and the chance of it kicking your butt at times (blowing up in your face or something), that makes it more fun than these corporate made OS-jails.

@Sector11 Hello again, long time no see You can say what you want, but to me you're still the king of conky script. Maybe you have slowed it down as the years passes by. Maybe the fast moving kids have become more and more creative, alongside conky it self and the scripts also has developed over the years, namely what you can do wit them. But I remember your interest for conky as long I have seen your name in these forums, form the CrunchBang and Arch Linux times, and until to day. You're still here.

We see our selves as no-technical. But using Linux for so many years, with all that comes with it, might have sharpen our skills a tiny fraction. I am glad I don't live in a MS-jail, where the user "is been taken care of" by the high and mighty

I'd never tried slock, although all BL systems come with suckless-tools. It's actually rather cool!
Just a plain black screen...

This is my slock.

The logo turns a nice shade of blue when correctly unlocked, a red when incorrect.

Re: 2025 Screenshot Thread

^ah, I found this in man slock:

slock can be customized by creating a custom config.h from config.def.h
and (re)compiling the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

I guess that's what you did?
Anyway right now it's just for testing and the black screen is fine. In fact I rather like it.
(New users might find it confusing though.)

jgmenu

It is the BL menu, just not configured as such.

Saw it on DistroWatch Weekly a couple of weeks ago, Rhino Linux. Rolling release Ubuntu (Debian) with it's own package manager that covers snaps, flatpaks and appimages, why not? DW showed the KDE desktop but I went with the default Xfce one...

1040MiB from neofetch (why is a cutting edge distro using neofetch, it hasn't been available in Debian for ages) for an idle Xfce/X11 desktop is decent.

One more time with this BS, and this time Scarlett has the gun on me. If I don't post within a week, call a cleanup crew (preferably The Wolf).

^ Spicy! Also, one of my favorite Joni songs.

Hope everyone gets a chuckle out of this... My manual Arch installation attempt ended with me having completely corrupted my boot/efi (partition, grub, the works). I'm surprised I managed to fix everything.

Once in a while the theming just snaps into place without effort, you see a wall and you know what icon set will match. I love when that happens.
