Re: 2026 Screenshot Thread

I've discovered Noctalia shell and its greetd greeter and was intrigued, so I installed sid to metal and built deb packages of xwayland-satellite and niri (surprisingly simple thanks to cargo-deb!) and got everything running in an afternoon, then broke it some, then figured it out more and... consider my flabbers gasted. There were several points during the setup where I was just staring at the screen with my mouth open in awe. It's all unified, it has it's own GUI settings, wallpaper picker, notifications, widgets, bars, type-to-search app launcher, its own polkit, and it can theme itself based on the wallpaper...

I actually kept a few notes, if anyone is interested I'll start a thread.

-edit- I almost forgot, I also did a quick labwc setup using lab's defaults. No theming, Noctalia is auto-theming based on the wall. Not the best theme, but way better than the default. I just created the default labwc configs, integrated the few noctalia configs into them, checked for errors and logged in.

Oh, yes, please!  wink

I already have a prepared Trixi installation and originally wanted to install my beloved 'niri' on it. After installing 'QuickShell', I realized that Debian doesn't currently have a niri package...  sad  big_smile  and, I didn't have the time/desire to build it.

1.13 GB memory use. Where does your Gnome desktop land with similar apps open?

Re: 2026 Screenshot Thread

I have more stuff running on my GNOME partition, but stripped GNOME on Wayland is 1.2 at idle. BunsenLabs is, what, just shy of 1G?

I love GNOME, but it's got so many stupidities. Why put a huge bar at the top but make it useless? GUI configs are set in gnome-control-center, gnome-tweaks, gsettings and gnome-shell-extension-preferences? Fuuuu...

@unklar, I'll have it up in a little later today. smile

But it's a heavier on RAM, and still not all that stable. What's RAM at idle in the live session? Also, try changing themes, I've had that crash the desktop in my very limited testing.
