>>55887327
yeah and it would only take you 40 hours to achieve
meanwhile i simply install and everything just werks

I hear this a lot, but actually it only took me four or five hours to install linux on my desktop
>>55887356
nice clone & nice anime

Literally why? What about Photoshop or Illustrator?

>>55887413
I use gimp or imagemagick. and get this: i actually like them more than photoshop

>What are your favorite Linux programs to use on the desktop?
My terminal emulator and every program I can run in it (vim, moc, cgdb, shell scripts, ...)

>What window manager do you use?
Openbox currently, but I switch a lot.

>>55887519
what terminal emulator do you use? I use xterm. vim is very good indeed, but personally, i use mpd+ncmpcpp instead of moc. Care to share a screenshot?

@55887413
why would u need photoshop unless youre paid to use it

> what terminal emulator do you use?
Terminal emuilator is urxvt. It has some nice features over xterm like being able to run it as a daemon, but otherwise it's really similar.

> mpd+ncmpcpp instead of moc
yeah, a lot of people use that. But I've always used moc and it does everything I want it to, so I've never bothered to try mpd.

I know you are fat and smelly.

AwesomeWM with modified multicolor theme, no display manager, autologin to virtual console, autostartx, xterm -fg green -bg black.
That about sums it up. Here's a laptop scrot, it's basically the same, except desktop has 3 cheap as fuck goodwill monitors.

Not much to see on the ol' laptop here. I like to keep it simple. ncmpcpp + mpd on the desktop looks pretty fancy. Mostly just use it as a tool instead of pasting pictures of little girls all over it.

Speaking of tiling wm, I use ratpoison since a few days and I love it.

There is no wasted space between windows, every program launches at full screen but you can accommodate frames. Ratpoison is so scriptable that you can switch between windows using dmenu or a expose.pl, but of course normally switching windows is just a keyboard shorcut.

I also like moc, is fast and very intuitive. Is also easily scriptable and many people use ratpoison shorcuts to control moc.

Another application is Lyx, very nice for making academic books, is actually a LaTeX editor. Also I recommend sxiv, a sexy and lightweight image viewer.

Although there is one thing bugging me, I need a file manager or an image organizer that is lightweight, has a tree view, thumbnails and image previews (not the same as thumbnails).

Currently using Xfe, which is lacking, I am thinking on using gthumb, which is by no means lightweight.

i didn't read that post

>>55887379
>four or five hours

are you running a pentium 3 or something

>>55890635
Also ratpoison is a manual tiling wm, so your windows don't get resized and repositioned everytime you start a new application.

>>55888485
Finder?

>>55890703
Yeah, and there is a script to save setups. There are scripts for a bunch of things, is surprising.

But I know it might be not appealing for screenshots, and as I want another wm for a more classic look I am using vtwm for the CDE look. There is also a gtk theme to make gtk applications have a CDE look.

please dont emulate the "CDE look"

pls don't even look @ cde

>>55890776
>>55890786
Gib a gud reason why not, I like the oldies.

its bad

good oldie: twm. sleek. "puts the funk in functional". works perfectly today. easily configured. bad oldie: cde. big dumb panel thing. ironic vaporwave appearance. bad.

I want 4dwm look with the motif (a.k.a. CDE) window borders, and maybe a file manager with the Irix icons. The CDE taskbar is near impossible to find thus far, as it is a good file manager.

ew desu

mpv ~/Videos/Anime/* --loop --shuffle --wid=0 --alang=jpn --slang=eng --volume=40 &

Put this in your .xinitrc and next time you start X it'll set you're wallpaper to you're anime (unless you don't keep you're anime in ~/Videos/Anime/ if not feel free to change that part

Unless twm can have the motif look I will use vtwm for my second wm.

Suck it.

>>55891006

the thing that will suck is: your desktop

>>55890982

mpv --wid=0 file.mp4

is what puts the video in the root window

>>55891067
The order of the options don't matter too much; this line is what I use and it just werks
>mp4
Botnet, use webm

Really, someone has to make a good file manager that is also lightweight.

I know there is a bunch but don't like the visual bloat, just want to browse my pics.

>>55890159
Can I get this on botnet 10

>>55891287

i think so

>>55891277
ranger

>>55891311
Lacks thumbnails, not the same as image previews. Worker file manager is similar to ranger but more customizable and in X, but also lacks thumbnails. There was a fm called endeavor mark 2 with both but it was discontinued, so it leaves me with gthumb, which weights as much as 3 times more than any file manager.

Hello not desktop thread. After an unsucceful upgrade attempt from Fedora 23 to 24, and bugs with a clean install of Fedora 24, I decided to switch to Arch.

Everything just werked the way it was supposed to. Feels fast.

You know you can just run screenfetch -s, and it will make a screenshot for you. No need to run scrot separately.

>>55891924
Yes I did know you can do that.

On other systems I'm pretty sure when I run scrot from dmenu it takes the screenshot after dmenu dissapears, it took the screenshot quick enough for dmenu to still be showing though, which I didn't notice until I posted.

You can bind your Print button you know? I have

import -window root png:$HOME/snapshot_$(date %Y%m%d%H%M%S)$$.png

no scrot, no bloat.

>>55891980
The laptop I'm on has no print screen key.
