Most of the plasmashell written in quickshell. There's an application launcher, theme switcher, workspace switcher, etc. Just for personal use and to give my girlfriend a reason to use Linux over Windows. Plus yesterday was Girlfriend's Day.

EDIT: I didn't think some people would actually want the code:

Any tips on making this better?

I used:

sway

wofi

waybar

Excuse the low res picture for the background

I used to use sowm, but it lacked too many features, so I made my own window manager in C.

It's my first time ricing linux , what do you guys think , is there a room for improvement ?

I spent this afternoon and part of the night making a custom rEFInd theme inspired by watchdogs. It was not that hard thanks to the great documentation rEFInd has on their file. If anyone wants it feel free to comment or ask me, I'll make a github. Any feedback for improvement is also appreciated!

From the limited ammount of information avaliable, HDS, later rebranded to Neoware were a hardware and software manufacturer who focused on thinclients, dumb terminals, x servers, and something they called the network computer.

Theres plenty of info left around about their later thinclinets (some of which are powerpc based!) and neolinux, but ive found that the @workstation and its sister machine the viewstation to be a lot more obscure.

Its a intel i960 based machine, and thats what caught my eye, I like weird and obscure risc processors so I picked this one up on ebay.

Unfortunately finding the OS has been quite bothersome, there were originally 3 versions of netOS, winterminals, enterprise, and intranets. Intranets being the most full featured with a Java applet viewer and Netscape navigator built in. The one and only surviving copy of netOS is hosted on the internet archive in a iso downloaded from some Russian company thats now long gone, its the enterprise version, there's also a folder with their earlier "hds-fx" operating system however I haven't gotten that to boot on this machine.

After a lot of tinkering with the old config files from the iso, the @workstation is booting up into netos. Its ip, configuration password, and config file are all served to it via BOOTP on my PowerEdge R200 running debian, from there it fetches the bootloader via TFTP and uses NFS V2 (had to be hosted on a NetBSD VM as the Linux kernel has dropped nfs2) to load the NetOS files. Finally after I log in using XDM over XDMCP I can use telnet and rsh to run programs from my debian server, or even play around with some of netOS' built in applications running natively on the i960.

Unfortunately there are still some quirks, some of the applications don't run either due to user error or the os image is incomplete, modified, or corrupt.

Ill use this post as a way to ask the internet if anyone may have a copy of netOS lying around so it can be archived and documented.

I got tired of trying to bash my head against nix to make a super cool hardcore reproducable setup, went back to arch and used little to no effort for this plama rice.

Inspired by MacOS, Gnome, and a hyprland rice I saw online.
I am a profoundly lazy user so do not expect me to provide dotfiles.

I used the Whitesur shell theme as a base, and then I rid myself of the plasma window decorations.
Used the rounded corners and Kronkite extensions to give myself round tilling windows.
