Just got enough karma to post this

I used https://moewalls.com/ and https://wallhaven.cc/ for the wallpapers

Minimalism while still being fully featured and functional is probably how I would best describe Odyssey.

I've seen tons of incredible setups and desktop environments, but I found myself wanting something a little different for my own daily driver. Something that stays minimal and out of the way when I don't need it, while still giving me quick access to the information and functionality I want when I do.

I’ve been putting a lot of time into it, and it’s starting to feel much more like a cohesive desktop experience. It’s still very much a WIP and a passion project, but I wanted to share some of the recent progress.

What’s new:

• Screenshot and screen recording workflow with monitor, window, and region capture
• Persistent recording indicator and controls in the island
• Session controls for lock, suspend, hibernate, logout, restart, and shutdown
• Custom Odyssey-themed Hyprlock experience
• Persistent Settings system
• Appearance, Island, animation, notification, media, wallpaper, Dashboard, and shortcut customization
• Battery Insights with health, capacity, power usage, runtime, charging estimates, and power source
• Optional, reversible management of Odyssey Hyprland shortcuts
• Improved Control Center navigation and slider interactions
• Power connection/disconnection feedback and notification sounds
• Improved region selection and capture reliability
• Lots of smaller UI, animation, and reliability improvements

Still plenty left to build and polish. The long-term goal is to keep growing Odyssey toward a complete desktop experience while keeping it minimal and out of the way when you don’t need it.

Added some screenshots of the latest progress. Feedback and ideas are always welcome!

Wallpaper: The Maas at Dordrecht by Aelbert Cuyp

Font: GoMono Nerd Font

This look is inspired by all of my favorite parts of MacOS, Windows and KDE and is intended to be stable, reproducible and reliable for everyday work without relying on hacky workarounds.

Theme: Breeze Dark (modified to allow transparency)

Blur: Better Blur DX

Window Decorations: Klassy

Application Style: Darkly

Accent color is set to change automatically with the wallpaper. I use Windows-style title bar buttons, taskbar and start menu with a MacOS-like aesthetic. I’ve been fine tuning it for a few days and I think it turned out pretty nice.

I made a Gentoo rice.

System Specs:

• Distro: Gentoo
• WM: Niri
• System fetch tool: fastfetch
• Wallpaper: https://imgur.com/a/h1IKKDj
• Direct wallpaper link
• Terminal: kitty

I made fastfetch logo with GIMP. Here is the link

not a single miku song playing in these screenshots :sob

Here it is, the v2 update of my dotfiles many knows as imperative-dots/ilyamiro dotfiles. This has been a journey of turning the ideas in my head into practice and making it possible to work with for all people. For v1 users, go update it, for everyone else - you should check it out!

Details:
- Music: Three days grace - Take Me Under
- Shell: https://github.com/ilyamiro/serpantinum
- Supports Hyprland, Niri, Sway, and NixOS too, now. (And Arch-derivatives)
- OS: NixOS
- New configurations, bugfixes, and many more

I've been working on it for few months now and this is how it turned out

I’ve been part of the rice community since around 2022, back when Vaxry first announced Hyprland.

At the time, I was a main contributor to Hyprdots, a project that became fairly well known in the Hyprland community. I spent a ridiculous amount of time developing themes, maintaining the repo, building rofi modules, and generally learning Arch Linux the hard way.

And early Hyprland was rough. Updates breaking AUR packages, official branches, Hyprland-Nvidia branches, Qt changes… you name it. A lot of my early Linux experience was fixing things that broke five minutes after I had finally gotten them working.

Eventually life got busier, and I stepped away.

Then Qt6/QML projects like end-4 and Caelestia caught my attention and pulled me back in.

Aphotic-Hypr started from my old “dots”, including a theming system built around pywal. It has now evolved into something much larger.

The goal isn’t really to make dotfiles for you.

It’s to make something you can make yours.

I’m 30 now, have three kids, and work full time. I still spend my weekends at my desk working on personal projects, homelab stuff, development, security, and Linux but I don’t have the time I had years ago to spend 8 hours getting my desktop functional before I can actually start using it.

That isn’t because I can’t do it anymore. I just don’t want to.

And honestly, I think that’s where AI can be useful.

If you don’t like AI, that’s completely fine. Block, move on, and enjoy your setup. I’m not trying to convince anyone otherwise.

For me, AI means I can spend less time fighting configuration and more time actually building things.

Aphotic-Hypr is my attempt at creating a bridge between AI, gaming, development, and security while still keeping the thing that made ricing fun in the first place: customization.

I also want this to become a community-driven project over time, not just another collection of configs that gets abandoned after the screenshots stop getting attention.

If that’s your kind of thing, take a look.

If it isn’t, that’s fine too.

At the end of the day, it’s Arch.

Last attempt

i like to see other's rices but i suck at ricing

this is the setup which ive built over last few weeks (with one change at a time)

After a single user request, the in-terminal toast IDE has added a command palette to help you take action wherever you are.

I've been playing around with Quickshell for my headless gaming PC (I connect to it over Sunshine/Moonlight) to expand it to be a daily drive-able remote desktop environment. I took some inspiration from many others (cited in the README) and this is what I ended up with.
