Debian Solarpunk vibes
(slrpnk.net)
Hey there! So after taking your advice this is the result. Ended up going with the following setup, nothing too over the top:
- OS: Debian 12 - bookworm
- Color Scheme • Everforest - Good vibes!
- Icons • Papyrus
- Terminal • Alacritty
- Desktop • Gnome
- Gnome tweaks and extension for shell theme and dock
- Showoff stuff • cbonsai, catnip (sound visualizer) and ranger (as suggested), still doing the dynamic wallpaper thing but because it's for KDE Plasma I'll have to find an alternative or code it myself.
Why NixOS? Never tried and may give it a go. It's very hyped right now so I'm curious
Because, among other features, the ENTIRE OS can be configured with one flake.
Here’s my config: https://github.com/harryprayiv/nix-config
That's cool! Might have to give it a spin in a VM.
I built a config for a VM inside of that repo I showed you.
I have it configured where you create a new machine profile and put it in the system folder (my VM machine profile would get you close) then you configure the home manager aspect. I have two options in that config. One is my normal one and the other is called “slim” which would be better for your case. I even built a TUI that switches to whatever config I want. you’d call: ``./switchTUI from terminal.
The xmonad thing is a choice of mine but I have commented out parts in the machine config files that could to choose to gnome or plasma if I wanted to.
I had to sort of fragment the files for my config because I wanted to create a config that would cover every single kind of system in my network.
I wish Hyprland were configured with Haskell. It’s so pretty.
I like your setup! Maybe I'll try it. I did consider it due to the single config file but was thinking that it may be missing stuff. But looking at your setup it will probably work for me too. Thanks!
Mine is forked from a guy named gvolpe. So, if you run into problems, comparing his and mine might illuminate some things.
I’m in the process of updating the stripped-down VM config that lives in that repo but it’s a really good start if you run it as a VM. You’d just need new hardware-configuration.nix files for the actual ID’s of the drives that the VM creates. I’m sure someone smarter than me has a proper one..but they’re not using xmonad and polybar! ;)
