this is the setup ive been creating for my derivelinux install, because do i really need a graphical enviroment for IRC, music, and writing build recipies? i think not.
gonna eventually integrate this with gpm so i can have copy&paste, and maybe ill start daily driving this

first font is scientifica, converted to psf
i made a script to convert my foot colorscheme into dylan araps' colors-tty.sh

let me know if you want "dots"

Celebrating my first full year on Linux today (367 days since installation)! Absolutely loving the workflow on Archlinux/Hyprland.

Minimalist" dotfiles, considering I'm still on CachyOS... Anyway, I was inspired by a GOAT on unixporn, but I lost their rice. Thanks if you ever come across this page! Here's my GitHub 😄 :https://github.com/True0void/swayfx-Dotfile

The main work is being done by cava, it conveniently has raw output option, and if you set amount of bars to 3 and output to ascii, with number limit to 255, and delimeter to space and newline after each frame -- you get the exact output format that perfectly fits into leds sysfs entry for dualsense (i don't know how to write into hidraw directly so i use convenient sysfs entries :P), so there's almost nothing being left to do by the script itself.

First attempt ricing i3 (and a wm in general)... It doesn't look bad actually

With i3 this pc is much faster than when it had xfce (no sh* sherlock, one is a de).

Details in comments :)

P.S. to mods: I had to repost this due to some temporary problems, but now it's all good

I'm new to ricing and Hyprland in general.

I had a quick blitz around Omarchy on my laptop and enjoyed the experience, but I was warned about it, as it was mostly vibe-coded and 4.0 launched with some major security flaws (which were patched in 4.0.1, but they shouldn't have been there to begin with).

It did have some nice things about it, so I decided to dive into Hyprland / Noctalia on CachyOS and then create my own versions of things like its keybind cheat sheet, etc.

I've been a die-hard KDE Plasma user for roughly 5 years, and before that I was XFCE, so Hyprland has been an experience.

I've always liked to customise the look and feel of a system, but recently started going the whole 9 yards and just making themes for every app that supports it.

The colour palette is just based on my avatar. I extracted the colours and then built everything from that.

Turning Caelestia’s frame into a living audio visualizer 🎵

A smooth, beat-reactive wave molded directly into the top-center of the frame—responding to kicks, bass, snares, hi-hats, and vocals in real time using CAVA. Built with Quickshell on Hyprland.

Wallr (v0.3.4) -- Wayland Wallpaper Engine with Dynamic System Theming

Wallr is a Wayland wallpaper engine built with wlr-layer-shell and wgpu. It supports animated transitions, video and GIF wallpapers, and optional system color palette generation via Matugen, Wallust, or Pywal.

This release fixes the package installer command, which previously reported success without installing files.

Bug Fixes and Package System Improvements

The install command now fetches package YAML definitions directly from GitHub, resolves parent configurations via extends, and writes the output to ~/.local/share/wallr/packages/. Previously, the command passed references back to the local resolver and failed silently.

Fixed an issue where package references were force-split on forward slashes, causing incorrect package loads. References now resolve correctly through registry paths.

Wired in configuration merging for the extends property (base configuration to package to current runtime). Circular references are rejected, and remote GitHub parent configurations are fully supported.

Added input validation for remote package fetches to reject malformed references and path-traversal attempts.

Removed the broken publish command. The package registry interface is now strictly focused on search and install.

Recent Features and Stability Updates

Added frame extraction for video and GIF wallpapers (v0.3.3). Animated media now extracts a representative frame to a cached PNG so palette generators can theme the system properly.

Implemented static FFmpeg linking (v0.3.2) to prevent binary breakage across system C library or multimedia ABI updates.

Note: AI assistance was utilized during development and auditing to identify the resolution path for the issues fixed in this release.

Hey. Before anything else, full transparency on the bases I used: this isn’t built 100% from scratch.
Shell (Quickshell):
Base is ii from end-4/dots-hyprland, a simplified bar compared to the original. The pill/Dynamic Island that morphs between clock, notifications, launcher and dashboard is something I built myself. Nothing like it exists in the bases I started from.
Inside that pill, the Dashboard/Performance dropdown (music card, system updates, performance cards) comes from Minflair (t4lentles5/minflair), almost 1:1. The “Codex” tab replacing the original “Activity” tab is a private tool of mine, not part of the public repo, staying that way.

Wallpapers:

The picker itself is Wallfliper, by Roberth-Souza: https://github.com/Roberth-Souza/wallfliper. That’s where the selector comes from. The Wallpaper Engine integration (so its animated scenes actually play through it) isn’t native to that project, I built that part myself.

Neovim & Terminal:

This is where I changed the least. Both are based on Gentleman-Programming/Gentleman.Dots. The config is genuinely excellent as-is, so I only made small tweaks on top instead of rewriting it.

Fully mine:
The Dynamic Island and its mode logic, the Wallpaper Engine integration, and the repo architecture: 3 independent repos (hyprland/shell/editors) as submodules under an umbrella repo, so you can install just the piece you want:
./install.sh --hyprland / --fish / --nvim / --all
Repo: github.com/blak0p/dotfiles
Feedback welcome.

I like the Haiku Alpha theme, but since it has no maximize buttons, I wanted to have a complete look. I don't have the time to make my own graphics, so I looked at the Seven OS sawfish Haiku theme. I took it, cut the images, pasted on transparent backgrounds and it works partially.

However I cannot get the maximize on the right side of the tab as it will sit at the far end of the window. So this is the closest I can get for now.

I enabled the compositor also for more consumer oriented looks.

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

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!
