@jwallen @open-source-ZDNet thank you so much for the review of #StratOS! Never did I (or we, the @StratOS team) expect a review from a major outlet such as ZDNet. Words aren't enough to express my most sincere gratitude.


I'm the maintainer of the
#Hyprland spin, and I'm REALLY happy you like it. And we've got more spins coming up - #SwayFX, #Cosmic, #MangoWC etc.

I'm also working on a sister project called
#CosmOS, which tries to replicate this on #NixOS. It's still a work-in-progress, though, but one fine day it'll be on par with the other spins.

CCing other members of the team (those who I do know are on the fediverse)
@magitian and @Slipstream8125.


Once again, thank you so much for the (what is in my humble opinion very positive) review, and stay tuned. I
hope know your article is going to draw attention to the distro, so we'll have to ramp up the maintenance 💪🏻.


STAY TUNED FOLKS!!

Still have to port over my custom terminal colors from X, but the new desktop is really beginning to come together – so take some preliminary #unixporn.

And thanks to #swayFX, I can apply background blur to pretty much anything I want. >:3

New Swayfx theme - Jinx

#sway #swayfx #linux #eww #wayland #neovim #tmux

Pointlessly over done scripting to make starting work on my OS easy. (See github fish_config for details), but this is my mostly finished #Gentoo #Linux setup.

The theme is vapourwave #evangelion with Ayu as the colour theme. Fish as the shell. #SwayFX as the wm. #waybar at the top, #fuzzel as the app launcher which is missing, also #HelixEditor. #Gemini as the ask questions and get slow and expensive answers. #fastfetch #btop and firefox bin as the browser. #ghostty as the terminal emulator.

I’m now doing a long overdue linux rice using the themes of ayu (the fairly decent colour scheme that doesn’t fuck with my colour blindness) along with autumn, in chernobyl.

Sticking to Wayland only apps, as well as favouriting #tuis where I can get it. Sticking with #sway, but using #SwayFX and adding #waybar and #swaync as well as writing a first launch script that opens btop, yazi and launching #HelixEditor in my os repo.

More issues with #hyprland ecosystem

- hyprland-easyfocus either displayed tiny text or a giant empty block, while easyfocus-hyprland lacks support for multi-monitor support and other features.

I'm pretty happy with the desktop I have dialed with #SwayFx so I'm returning to that will check in again on Hyprland another time.

SwayFX + Dracula is goated.

@graves501 #swayfx is just nice! The stability of sway + eye candy. And the community is excellent.

Been trying out #SwayFX the last few days - been using #Sway for 1-2 years now - and the (eye candy) features are nice!

Now the only thing I'm missing is nice transitional fades like I had with i3+compton when I was still using #X11 :)

But I just want to stick with #Wayland since it gets better with every day :)
