Vision Quests for the Neue Geo-Syndie ("Black Bear" WIP global theme refs for KDE Plasma 5 & its alternative Liquid shell)

The couple initial assets here are the ones to emulate the closest... enjoy!

The sheet right below was AI-generated by me, should be quite useful to get inspiration from...

Some more AI-generated colored modules...

Again, some more themed assets, this time for avatars, icons & other symbolic Plasmoid widgets...

Previous desktop dark theme I made that felt close to my objective...

Yeah, I really like the retro raster aliased look of such...

My very own hand-drawn draft?

Previous style guide still useful, among other resources

(if needed, you can browse my blog archive, especially for what is under the "maskoch", "maskutchew", "customization" & "16^12" hashtags)

i am a tboy and i started using ubuntu (my first linux experience ever) like 3 months ago and i just realized using linux is exactly like being transgender

like some things get difficult cos most people arent using linux but everything that's harder about using linux is completely trumped by how pleasant it is to not use windows

This is poetry to me, thank you anonymous Ubuntu tboy I will think about this forever

It is so handy how on Unix you can just write files to /tmp and they will be cleared up automatically upon shutdown!

So if I want to write a disposable python script to test something - put it in /tmp!

Or if I want to view e.g. an MS Word document that my browser can't read, just save it in /tmp.

And of course if it's worth keeping, then move it to somewhere permanent.

Being neurodivergent is like you're a computer running some variation of Unix while the rest of the world runs Windows. You have the exact same basic components as other machines, but you think differently. You organize differently. You do things in a way that Windows machines don't always understand, and because of that, you can't use programs written for Windows. If you're lucky, the developer will write a special version of their program specifically with your operating system in mind that will work just as well as the original, and be updated in a similar time frame. But if not? You'll either be stuck using emulators or a translator program like Wine, which come with an additional resource load and a host of other challenges to contend with, or you'll have to be content with an equivalent, which may or may not have the same features and the ability to read files created by the other program.

However, that doesn't mean you're not just as powerful. Perhaps you're a desktop that just happens to run Mac or Linux. Maybe you're a handheld device, small and simple but still able to connect someone to an entire world. Or perhaps you're an industrial computer purposely-built to perform a limited number of tasks extremely well, but only those tasks. You may not even have a graphical user interface. You could even be a server proudly hosting a wealth of media and information for an entire network to access- perhaps even the entire Internet. They need only ask politely. You may not be able to completely understand other machines, but you are still special in your own way.

Postface

While I am iterating towards a even further customized machine workflow relatively soon, don't mind me asking for your suggestions & comments?

ok- hypothetical here:

in a world where linux distro's, bsd, or any other FOSS system suddenly blink from existance (so basically a nightmare) would you rather use Mac, Windows, Chrome, etc

NO Haiku either since I know that would dominate the polls.

I want to see what would happen if you were forced to sell your data to a company. Who would you trust more, and why? what do you prioritize when it comes down to limited options?

being toxic about it is indeed encouraged

in the termin all. straight up “changing”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s just say. My shel .

[catppuccin-macchiato-official]

my current setup

it is just catppuccin-adjacent, cobbled together with some themes from rose-pine, catppuccin, some from eliverlara and some of my own :3

kind of struggling with qt and gtk themes under sway/wayland/nixos

Old software design: We released eleven versions in three years and haven't changed anything in forty years. We are the standard protocol for windowing on virtually all Unix-like systems.

Modern software design: Here's more ads, also, have you considered giving us more money? Also, what do you think of a total UI rewor- nvm we did it. Perish.
