Endeavour with GNOME? Nice, lmao.

It does what I need. Tried KDE at first, but it didn’t feel right for some reason.

Can't blame you. While KDE's motto is that it "gets the job done while staying out of your way", it's kind of the opposite tbh. It looks nice, but it's also kind of sluggish depending on your specs, and it just feels different from most DEs while being kind of cumbersome with the way you customize it.

GNOME is nice, once you actually get around to customizing it, since default GNOME, imo- is a piece of garbage.

Endeavour is actually a really nice distro choice though since it's actually rather stable in comparison to other Arch distros, and it offers a lot of customization.

WindowMaker is the best. I switch between these two themes most of the time.

Going for that very metallic theme I see.

I know KDE used to be a massive memory hog. I'm pretty sure it had some rather big improvements on that a year or so ago though.

KDE is actually really good about memory usage now. Sometimes being lighter than XFCE. My only problem though is while it is indeed lighter, it still feels sluggish.

I think the real problem that I have KDE is that I often ran into random small issues that I would spend hours searching for and almost never find a solution to. I know that's necessarily KDE's fault but it does put me off from using KDE as my daily driver.

Honestly if I used a distro with a desktop env (since OpenMediaVault and a desktop env is a Big Big No-No for Some Reason) I would probably either stick with whatever the default one is on that particular distro, or go with one that looks and acts like Windows Explorer (particularly the Win7 variant)

Anyway,

Enjoy the weirdly crispy text. I chose the DS font because I find it's actually the easiest for me to speed read, though the desktop has some troubles with it. Weirdly enough it's fine on any other thing.

Then here's my neofetch since people seem to include that.

My i3 rice that has been tweaked continuously since sometime around 2017. Been meaning to add an audio visualizer that surrounds the porthole. Second image is the companion locker that uses i3lock-color.

I use arch btw

The background is a pic I took of a nature area near me. Years ago the hospital owned this land and built homes for WWII veterans. Eventually all of them died and they let the land sit empty, leaving the buildings to fall apart. The city ended up buying the land and tearing them down for safety reasons, and now the conservation authority owns the land. They've left the foundations there (and 4 of the original buildings) and it's pretty cool to think about how not too long ago these used to be homes. You can see from year to year as they start to crumble more and more. Amazing how nature is swallowing back up this land.

Another cool thing is that when they were built there were no restrictions for building right next to the treeline. Now that it's classified as an ESA and we have stricter regulations, it'd be illegal to replace these since they'd be too close to the edge. They're little pieces of history that can never be replaced. The couple of buildings still up need to be maintained carefully because those are affected in the same way, but also for construction equipment too close and such. I love seeing these fade over time and the feeling behind loosing that history. It's sad to see, but it's nice in a way that things can be let go and can have their end.
