Gotta enjoy the simple things in life.

you mean my title bars?
I was gonna make one but I couldn't think of a subtitle
Why don't you faggots have these threads on /a/?
This thread have nothing to do with technology other than your weave duck desktop happens to be on a fucking computer. Nobody gives a shit about your fucking cartoons so take it and fuck off back to /a/
>>51567470
generally a good plan
I'm going to put whiskey in a glass--but get this, I'm going to add a splash of sparkling water, which makes it a cocktail and not just drinking for the sake of it. It's a cool lifehack. Blessed be.
Time for work.

Mr SimCity here. I have never had my own thread before. Thanks Anon~!
In this thread are the children of a bunch of disappointed parents. Snap the fuck out of it you fucking idiot nobody gives a shit about your fucking customizations on a desktop it only you look at. The only people that remotely give a shit or a bunch of other losers like yourself circle jerking online to your ugly ass anime drawings. For your parents sake wake the fuck up.

I don't waste hours and hours customizing a desktop that no one will see but myself. Instead I spend my time doing more productive things like coding and shitposting on /g/. This pathetic little anime trend completely took over desktop threads. Nowadays it's more about the stupid anime you guys posted it is about the customizations the message you use in the program do you use all of you faggots to start talking about we be bullshit like it means a god damn thing in a fucking technology board. Go back to /a/

Yeah. Not a tripfag.
How do you guys make Linux look so different than when you get it? I'm new to Linux, so new I'm barely learning how to use it. I don't have it yet, but I'm planning to get it. I like how you guys make it look cool.
How do you do that? I've seen installation videos of Arch, Mint, and Ubuntu and none of them look like any of yours. How can I do this? Does anyone know a website that can teach me?
And if so, can you post link? But still include a little summary of how you did it please!
>>51567668
will 2016 be the year ben finally gets a screen with a resolution from this century?
>>51567556
You dislike small communities of people with shared interests or just shared interests you disapprove of?
Would it be better if this was a thread about people loving jeeps together and how they customize that or whatever?
>>51567561
Were we talking about that drink the other day? I like bourbon in apple cider, and if I'm sick I'll have it hot with black tea in there
That screen is only eleven inches diagonally, so patterns tend to overwhelm the windows.

Step one is to watch a bunch of anime to develop your aesthetic
>>51567452
Dont care what you say
>>51567635
>Productive
>Shitposting
Sounds somewhat contradictory, no?
I also code. It's actually part of my work, in computational physics. No harm in wanting to work on a system that is aesthetically pleasant, too.

Most of us use a window manager that's standalone on X11. The common choices are openbox, i3 or awesome, with a little bspwm on the side too. Openbox is a great starting place, really easy to setup. A couple links you should look into setting up for
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc
(to help you switch DE/WM from console, you should remove your GUI login manager)

brandy with cider is pretty much the only thing I drink, besides box wine or something. I always og the grocery store and get the cheapest shit I can find. It's not great but it gets the job done.
I should probably stop posting so much.

there's nobody i care more about than myself, so why is it not reason enough that I want to have a beautiful desktop? would you work on a shitty desk? full of garbage?, i don't think it would be as nice as working in a decent table where everything's put just the way you feel like it...
but it seems everything has to be done because "other" people will see it...

Is anyone familiar with how to change the theming for Ranger? I know it's written in Python (which should make it easier to modify than in some languages) but I don't really have any references to base it off of.
>>51568211
nice ass
>>51568229
what do you mean by the theming? What are you trying to change?
>>51568285
the colours , they are a bit dark
>>51568229
Ranger just uses your .Xresources
>>51568285
Purely colourscheme. It says in the config that there are a few built-in coloursets by default, but something along the lines of you having the ability to make your own colours too.
>>51567916
or not. That ending sure felt like a lead-in to another cour. I was sure when watching the first one that there wouldn't be any sequels, yet here we are on season 3.
>>51568221
jealous. I'm going to have to hunt around on discogs for some of these records.
>>51568307
I mean within it, instead of the shit presets like "snow" where everything is white or the "default" which is a clusterfuck of colour.

And Nico wouldn't approve of you talking about her that way
>>51568229
I make a custom /.gtk2.0 file and do the changes there. You say that its written in python but the file should override the theme when colours are specified.
>>51568435
>>51568446
I don't understand, but anime is NOT a laughing matter to me
>>51568438

AFAIK GTK doesn't affect terminal-based applications?

Good thing I posted a desktop then, huh?

Kawaii desu (cute it) Cousin It sure does have lovely hair
Hard? How? You make it sound like a bullet hell game, it's just a rhythm game. You can even play through the entire thing on easy...
>>51568651
Be careful. I haven't, but I've known people who have (including tripsitting for them), and it's a reasonably fun and mellow time if you don't go crazy. It can be habit-forming though, and you can really hurt yourself that way.

I was actually thinking of that dopesmoker record that's sold out, but I get paid next week so after I finish going through wittr's discography I'll probably cop the album(s) I liked the most
been a minute since I listened to music with guitars, lol
>>51568732
I used to only listen to music with guitars
I got over that during the couple years I quit playing
>>51568680
です doesn't mean 'it'. It's a copula.

I copula'd with you're mom last night
>>51568748
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60mLvBWOMb4
>>51568747
Guitar music is probably 95% of what I listen too. On a rare occasion I'll listen to electronic stuff like Aphex Twin or some ambient.
I like the sound of distorted guitars way to much.
>>51568776
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmPPCkF6-fk
>>51568777
nice digits
I got into a lot more electronic and jazz music mostly
I still really like guitar music though, I just don't listen to as much of it
speaking of guitar, new song recording if anyone missed it~ (undine)
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/jd8fn13rq058s/Recordings
>>51568747
Yeah I was really into punk rock for a while, but from there I got into assorted electronic music genres by way of instrumental hip hop (scoff if you will, I bought Clams Casino's Rainforest EP on vinyl). Then I realized I actually liked programming synthesizers and samplers more than I liked playing them or writing music, and now I'm reexpanding my horizons or trying to.
>>51568707
This is objectively the correct view, but: I was responding to a desire to look at sex pics, which was bad. I'll not apologize for the tumblr filename because it would actually be more shameful to rename it to avoid recrimination. Fact is: that image is good
Speaking of good, I have to go to bed so I can get into work on monday without death, and thus, good night

do you find that the musical style will influence the work you produce? I often need up beat stuff for working on art, and 80s new wave for programming

I don't like olives either, but there are 4 other people enjoying them
>>51568960

>>51568922
If nothing else, I feel as though it'll keep me more focused. In general, I just like the band, so listening to them helps my flow.

I have a quickfire pro with browns
>>51569159
About a month old. I had a model M but the "m" key started to get weird and stutter at me. I really like the size of this new one but I think I liked the buckling spring on the IBM just a little bit more. Blues are still pretty nice though.
>>51569197
are they actually as loud as people say? that's the only reason I got browns instead
>>51569203
It's pretty loud but no louder than my IBM. Personally I love the clicking sound of a keyboard, even though I usually can't hear it because of music.

This thread has hit the first page several times and there seems to be an anime discussion all the time and both ends of the spectrum are obnoxious. Please just tone down the crap. There's like 11 boards for this stuff, including /w/ where there are desktop related threads like this just for anime. I'm not even saying get rid of it, just tone down the blatant shitposting.

I've been reading this discussion and these people are usually no hope. Just report them and ignore. Mods usually clean up overloaded garbage threads like this one. These people are just here to act like smug pricks and usually cannot reasoned with. So again, to the people who are annoyed with this crap, don't respond, just report and ignore. Start another actual thread if need be.

This. These retards would go away if the people complaining did less complaining and just reported the damn thread/posts. Mods usually clean this up and even ban for mass shitposting like this.
