So a while ago, I riced xfce on linux mint but i ended up replacing it with endeavouros. i was too lazy to bring over any ricing configs or anything so i remade the rice!

I've seen some people show their desktop and fastfetch info so i thought about sharing mine, i don't really know how to improve this more (ik this isn't really a rice, just some customization, any tips?)

Heavily customized Nordic DMS rice

Like the title says, already 1 year on EOS. I used Mandrake some 20 years ago and returned to Windows afterwards.

I built a new PC last year (before the "RAMargeddon") and decided it was time to quit Microsoft Windows. I still dual-boot Windows 11 on another SSD for some games, but I am not a big gamer so I am 85-90% of my time on Linux. Before buying parts for the PC I installed on old PCs Kubuntu, Fedora and Mint.

I finally decided to go for EOS (being new I wanted something easy to install), and I don't regret it at all. The system never broke in a year, after updates of anything else. They say rolling release is "unstable", but for what I'm doing, it's more than stable. Each time I'm updating, I'm telling to myself "it's crazy how fast pacman is versus Windows Update". A 3GB update is done in under 3-4 minutes, on Windows 11 it take at least 15 minutes, even if I update weekly.

From a complete noob I now have a Debian home server, using smb to play music on my vanilla (manually installed) minimal installation Arch PC in the garage, on another PC in the house running Solus and hosting some apps for my "productivity". I was using VirtualBox on Windows, but I learned using QEMU/KVM, and I prefer that now in place of VBox. I installed in VMs other OSes, like Solus, Void, Chimera Linux, AerynOS. I am "attracted" by less beginner friendly and "niche" distros, with other init systems and package managers. Learning how they work helps me understand Linux better. Next steps in exploration will be NixOS, Gentoo and the likes. I have a lot more to learn, I'm still a beginner, maybe one day I'll switch to one of those distros permanently, but for now Arch (EOS) is my home. I like the rolling release model, being up-to-date and not running "outdated" software.

I have plenty of RAM, so I can do VMs all I want, to learn more, local AI too. I must say that this subreddit and some others helped me a lot too! The community here is wonderful and very friendly, it helps a lot when you are a newbie, you don't "fear" to ask a question. We all were newbies some point in time.

It's not even a full day since I moved from Kubuntu. I have a feeling that EndeavourOS will stop my impulse to distro-hop.

Spent a few hours putting together what’s probably my ideal workstation setup rn.

• Windows for gaming, EndeavourOS for everything else.
• Secure Boot enabled (yes, I do queue valorant sometimes, it is what it is). sbctl made the whole custom key signing process way less painful than expected.
• WhiteSur/MacTahoe themes + Toshy for the macOS-like workflow. Honestly surprised how usable and close to the real deal it feels.
• Swapped KRunner for Albert because I needed something closer to Spotlight. Also aesthetics.
• Ghostty + Starship + "Gruvbox Dark Hard" for the terminal. Basic ass bitch, but this combo slaps.

Finally got the setup stable, all drivers working out of the box, system feels snappy, and I still get the power of Arch without the headache. Thanks EndeavourOS. Life is good.

If anyone wants, I can drop a separate post on how I set this up.

have used ubuntu terminal only for my vps for a while but this is my first time giving desktop linux a try, copied some basic dotfiles/ presets and i have my terminal good for now but the rest is still a wip. maybe someday i can make my own custom configs but i just want something that's fun to use for now and then i will tweak later

Hey everyone,

I've been running Hyprland on EndeavourOS and wanted to clean up my lock screen, so I built this minimal Samurai-themed config using `hyprlock`.

The main thing I wanted was to replace the boring password dots with actual Japanese Kanji (桜 - Sakura), which renders perfectly on Wayland without any lag.

**Visuals:**

* **Kanji Passwords:** Renders 桜 on keypress.

* **Date Format:** Clean Japanese formatting (`2024年08月14日`).

* **Minimalist UI:** Absolutely no borders or background boxes on the input field, just floating characters over a dark Katana wallpaper.

Since getting CJK fonts to render correctly without tofu blocks can sometimes be annoying, I wrote a quick install script that automatically pulls `noto-fonts-cjk` and `noto-fonts`

via pacman before applying the config.

If any fellow Endeavour/Hyprland users want to use this setup or just grab the wallpaper/config files, the repo is here:

Let me know what you think of the aesthetic!

The fetch stays pinned at the top of the screen and keeps animating while your prompt and command output scroll below it.

You guys can give me feature suggestions, and I'll try to add them in upcoming versions

not so terrible, i think

Started using EndeavourOS(my first, and only distro) around a month or two ago(give or take). Been really surprised with how good and stable its been. I started using i3, because my drivers were a bit finicky with wayland, but i figured it out. this is only a day after using hyprland, and its my first time, so it probably wont stay like this. Tell me what you think:D

Waybar dots(NOT MINE): https://github.com/cebem1nt/dotfiles/tree/main/.config/waybar

Yes I know my waybar time is off, and am I gonna fix it? probably not.

Second monitor is vertical and just keeps track of some basic things as I'm by no means a power user, so zhuzh'd it up a bit. Can't figure out Vesktop transparency for the life of me, time to learn CSS or something :) it permanently lives up there anyway before I moved to Linux so why not make it blend in the easiest way I can, eh?

On macOS, apps can detect whether a swipe started from the screen edge.

Nothing on Linux Wayland did this for trackpads.

Bezel is a Rust daemon that reads raw evdev input, splits the trackpad into zones (left edge, right edge, top, bottom, corners, center) and lets you bind different gestures per zone. Compositor agnostic works on Niri, Hyprland, and should work on anything Wayland.

Still early, feedback and stars appreciated.
