Apparently, that’s required for the App Store and Google Play. The guy behind it has said he has no intention of taking advantage.

Sway is good. It’s really just i3 on Wayland. I’ve never used Hyprland myself, though.

Yep! Just put the following in your foot.ini:

[colors]
alpha=0.8 # or whatever value between 0 and 1 you want

Here are my dots:

• sway
• swaylock-effects
• dunst
• foot

I can assure you this is just regular Sway. Thanks, though!

Whoa, cool! We have almost the same wallpaper!

Lookin’ good!

However, this guy has actually switched to Linux, and is willing to adapt and learn how to use it.

That’s some hardcore Linux there. Well done!

I’m daily driving it. Well, daily driving every other day. I have a few machines, so I’m not restricted to one OS, and I tend to use the one I feel most comfortable with. Right now, I’m using this machine the most.

What daily driving involves for me is mainly web and gemini browsing, some media playback, word processing, and some light gaming (although I am yet to install any games on this machine).

The reasons I chose OpenBSD are:

• Security - If it’s the most secure OS, I should probably be running it in some capacity. It’ll also impress people when I bring it to my first lecture in uni (I’ll be studying cybersecurity).
• Learning - It’s a different land with different rules, and I’m hungry for knowledge. Learning OpenBSD is the next logical step after I got to grips with FreeBSD.
• Performance - Surprisingly, I’m finding that OpenBSD actually runs faster and has vastly superior battery life than when I was running Linux or FreeBSD. However, as I said before, I haven’t yet tried gaming on it.
• unix_surrealism - I’d say that this comic was part of the reason I went for OpenBSD and not Linux or something like Haiku.

Additionally, you mentioned FreeBSD. I think it’s worth noting that, while two different Linux distributions can be very similar and cross-compatible, it’s a different story with BSD.

Unlike Linux, the BSDs are all more-or-less hard forks of one another. FreeBSD and NetBSD were forked from 386BSD back in the '90s, which was based on the original BSD from the '80s. OpenBSD was then forked from NetBSD 1.0, and DragonFly BSD was forked trom FreeBSD 4.8. Today, the big four BSDs (Free, Open, Net, and DragonFly) are very different from one another and not entirely cross-compatible compatible.

Wherever you like! It’s just an HTML document.

You’ll then need to tell your browser to use it as the startpage. For example, if the file is stored under:

/home/user/homepage.html

then set your startpage, homepage, or new tab page to:

file:///home/user/homepage.html

If your browser is installed as a Flatpak, you may need to change some settings in Flatseal to get it to work.

I coded that homepage myself, so absolutely! I’ll send you a copy with the bookmarks anonymised.

I have the file saved as ~/homepage.html, but you can put it anywhere.

Could you please share your dotfiles?

Notes

• I understand the security implications of using NetSurf. Until I can get ahold of a Raspberry Pi 5 (which would have the specs to run Firefox), I will be extra careful.
• I will be uploading my dotfiles and patched software to sourcehut soon enough.

Truly is the Kool Desktop Environment.

I’m not sure what the general consensus is, but I’ve been using XBPS for everything, and then nix-env for anything not available on the default repos or in srcpkgs. On my system, it’s essentially just a replacement for Flatpak and AppImage, as I’ve had trouble running Flatpaks on Sway, and AppImages aren’t yet supported on musl libc.

I used to use Artix, a long time ago. It’s nice, but I preferred vanilla Arch. There’s not really much else I can say.

In terms of init systems, I like the following for different reasons:

• OpenRC - It just works and the commands make sense
• S6 - It’s really bloody fast
• runit - It’s simple

I don’t personally have a problem with systemd, either, but I understand why many people don’t like it.
