Just a reminder we are still woring on getting a logo
>taken almost three months for a logo
>still no actual coding work started
>>46806219
So many successful /g/ projects. I can't wait when I'll be able to download chinese cartoons using g/torrent on lo/g/ OS.
>tfw this board will never have a good community
>>46806219
What was that Ricebox thing?
/g/ is trying to make an operating system?
>>46806219

I do logos and I've got nothing else do do right now.
If anyone any ideas, throw them at me and I'll make a mockup quickly.
>>46806255
>>46806334
Can you do a logo for my site?
desktops.neocities.org
I will credit your ass in the footer.
>>46806331
No, they are trying to design a logo for a fictitious operating system
it's called logos for a reason
also, this is /g/ - Logos
Let's get an Official lo/g/OS "To-Do" Thread. Might gain a little momentum?
>>46806348
Potentially m8, I need some ideas though. If you know exactly what you want I can give it to you
>>46806452
someone set up a slack for it weeks ago, but so far nothing else has been said
>>46806553
The logo looks fine. Anything a novice C/C++ programmer can contribute?
Here's the official button
>>46806348
hi lazy
>>46806603

Let's start coding.
>>46806734
Good, time to start programming.
For starters, needs systemd.

Why is it called 'logos'? What's the significance?
>>46806472
Okay gonna do sketch mode here. This is the mockup logo, colors and lines not final. It has a simple fibo split on the boxes. Don't know how to make it look spiffy.
>>46806603
hi!
Awww this would be sweet. Cmon NEETs stop wasting time on your timesink OSs and start working on this shit.
>>46806856
Because logos are the only thing that /g/ has ever been able to accomplish.
Im down to do a little checklist
Base distro?
init manager?
Package manager/repo?
Login manager?
WM/DE?
Utilities?
I can rice WM/DE and get dotfiles all spiffy, what can yall do?
>>46806938
What happened to /g/'s torrent client?
>>46806856
because that is all that will be finished
>>46806943
it must be based off of gentoo
Someone should make a website and a hack to get it to top 10 on distrowatch.
>>46806962
okay
base distro : gentoo
init manager :
Pkg management : portage?
Login manager :
WM/DE :
Utils :
It really isn't that hard to do your own little spin man. Downloading base gentoo images as we speak.
I propose we use bpswm and bmpanel2 as the panel. dmenu launcher. whatever term. All custom of course.
>>46806945
Died soon after the logo stage.
Actually to be fair that got a little further than most. Still dead though.
>>46806997
Fuck, I wish /g/ could get its shit together and just accomplish something. Anything.
Ok, I revert to this: >>46806734 as final. The others have fucked up antialias, sorry m8s.
>>46806219
>not based on ReactOS
Dropped.
Come on /g/, I have a lot of money and a lot of free time, I WANT TO CODE SOMETHING FUN DAMMIT!
>>46807037
>The /g/ Wiki:
>http://wiki.installgentoo.com/
I can't think of any logical reason for it not to be based on gentoo.
>>46807043
We want to code as little as possible. Most of it would probably be a simple pygtk app that will rice your desktop for you
>>46806307
4chan sucks for these things
>>46807068
THEN LET'S THIS SHIT GOINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, link the github.
Actually upload the code, if this has any, to ftp://100.1.246.12/tftproot/ and we could deploy it for the infinite time that the logo isn't even finished.
A reminder that while /g/ is fart-arsing around picking a logo, /tg/ came up with an idea for a game, got artwork done, and a lone coder is underway pushing constant updates for it (or was, when I last checked it).
/tg/ gets shit done. Why can't /g/?
>>46806993
>I propose we use bpswm and bmpanel2 as the panel
For what purpose? And why Portage over Pacman?
>>46806993
Base distro: LFS or gentoo
Init manager: systemd
pkg management: pacman
login manager: console
WM: Loliwm or a tiling weston plugin, fuck X.
Utils: a settings daemon like gnome-settings
>>46807068
There's a lot to be said for shipping sane and decent-looking default configs.

Not really, the guy who made it just posted it on /g/ a year before gummergaza. I don't think /g/ contributed anything but stress testing, bug reports, and suggestions
We should split off the branding guys into their own team. They're going to need a logo too.
Get to it guys.

Same
>>46807695
>>46807809
I understand very nice
>>46806993
This is what I recommend and I will explain why after.
base distro: funtoo
init manager: systemd
pkg management: portage
login manager: slim
WM/DE: i3
Utils: lxappearance for gtk, qt tools (gtksyle USE flag for gtk themes in qt), dmenu and at least firefox
Why Funtoo for the base operating system? This is simply for the one and only fact that it's base portage cache is from git and takes MUCH less time than rsync. Hell even you could make a mirror of their git and just patch things yourself for the distro.
For the kernel, Funtoo has (by default) more kernel sources available to your. You could just compile a kernel using 'debian-sources' and the result is a kernel which will work on most hardware. Packaging that wouldn't be too hard with a basic script. Create your own ebuild to install the precompiled kernel and you're good to go for the hardest part of a gentoo based installation.
Now the reason for why I really suggest portage is because you can create a build server and distribute binaries with it. This will make installation much easier for your average /g/noob. That way your live .iso would be pretty much mean just installing the base gentoo tarball and then you just need to point the /etc/portage/make.conf to the right place for installation. This way you have a pretty quick installation.
The i3 idea is for it's simplicity of use and it's ability to run in both tiled and floating mode. That should please most people. Couple this together with dmenu and you won't be disappointed.
Slim as the DM is pretty light weight but realistically, you really don't need a DM. This is just further ricing potential.
Now for the utils, lxappearance does the job pretty well when setting most things up (GUI wise) on the system. You can make your qt theme match your gtk theme pretty easily too if you compile the right USE flag into the package dev-qt/qtgui.
>>46807845
>base distro: funtoo
wow anon do you want people to take you seriously
>>46807863
Take your dexies man, you obviously couldn't read past the third line.
>>46806219
>any year
>using X Windows
Why not start to drop X Windows support and work only with wayland and xwayland?
>>46807896
because wayland is bad
>>46807863
>funtoo
how does it compare to pentoo
>>46807845
Why not a more barebones base system? Like, say, Slackware? We could put portage on it (emerde exists) and go from there.
>>46807900
Nice try, Canonical.
>>46807924
>naming a fundie distro
>>46807904
Not the guy you linked too, instead the guy who wrote up the idea about using Funtoo.
Comparing Pentoo to Gentoo is like comparing Ubuntu to Kali.
It's the same thing with some extras you can install. Also with Pentoo you can just install the overlay and install whatever you want from it on a base Gentoo (even Funtoo) system.
Funtoo has some more innovative ideas compared to Gentoo too. They for starters have more choice for portage profiles, a better version of portage (it's not stuck in the past) and they have more ebuilds for things like kernels.
>>46807924
It's not a bad idea. Running a system which can be built by the said anon will give them more control over decisions as how they want to build the OS. The installation between a Gentoo distro and a Slackware distro is close enough that most Linux noobs will crap themselves just seeing the command line. You may as well start off with a Gentoo/Funtoo system.
not that I give a fuak but you should call it >/g/enitools
Let's settle on alogo first. I made a rough draft
>>46808011
I like the idea of using Slackware as a base because, for me, Slack is the most "vanilla" Linux distro out there, save for LFS. Funtoo looks interesting though. And having a distro already integrated with the package management most people here seem to want is a better idea than a retrofitted software that, last time I used it, kept bugging out.

>using a distro without systemd support
The 80's ended 26 years ago.
>>46808121
>>46808143
I actually really like these
>>46808121
The guy who did this should remake it without the dick imagery. It has a 60's feel to it. The actual distro itself should be full of hippie imagery and the system theme should look like Xerox's first GUI.
Some new OC.

>How hard would it be to use rio with linux?
In the beginning was the faggotry, and the faggotry was with /g/, and the faggotry was /g/
/g/ is too funny. i've seen so many OS projects identical to this one come and go. those that even make it to the choosing-default-packages phase, rarely suggest anything beyond a DE, browser and rice. it reveals what virtually all of /g/'s linux user base uses linux for: rice and unwarranted self importance. linux is useful for people who actually take advantage of its many (usually developer-oriented) features, but since /g/ can't program or really do anything meaningful with computers, we get boring, pointless distros like OP's that don't actually have anything interesting to offer.
>>46808670
tl;dr
>>46808669
Watch out anon. Mods are always quick to ban pony posting.

oops. Meant slpm looks great too.
>>46808981
slpm itself is great, I used it for a while on Dragora
the repo is small and dated though
it's very fast/easy to update and add packages though, even /g/ could make its own slpm repo on par with small independent distros
took me about an hour to learn how to use it, update all the suckless and gnu packages, and add a couple new packages
unfortunately I don't have my changes any more
>>46809015
actually, we should rewrite slpm in rc shell instead of posix shell
rc is superior, especially in rio

Let's just hope that at least /g/ manages to finish a logo together.
You guys really shouldn't collaborate on anything. Seriously. Just stop it. You've failed at trivial things and you think that an OS will work out for you?
I don't wanna be a dick, but the "programmers" on /g/ aren't really people you want to associate with and especially not ones you want to do a project like this with.
But whatever, ignore me. See you in a few months when everything blows up and crashes miserably.

I bet /pol/ will've finished the first release of Aryan Linux 14.88 "Steel Beams" LTS before /g/ even finishes the logo
>>46806219
Another good point to see that /g/ is just a bunch of useless basement dwellers. People who actually have a clue about programming an OS wouldn't give a shit about the logo and would ju8st start programming. But on /g/ nobody can actually program, so you waste time on finding a stupid logo, pretending to be productive. Pathetic.
Winrar.
>>46813231
Is that the font Nokia used before the MS anschluss?
>>46813672
Add some kind of effect to the "OS", a gradient or something. The solid green in the letters looks strange to me compared to the yellow-green gradient in the arrow.
I very much like it otherwise.
>>46813648
is this trolling? everyone knows this. that's the entire meme you faggot
>>46806334
logo needs to adhere to /g/.
therefore it needs to have connections to this elements:
gentoo/arch
autism
elitism
consumerism
GNU/linux interjection
freedoms
extra autism
must be written entirely in machine code(or assembler for pussy-mode, or c for retard-mode).

Outsider here, what the fuck is this /g/? are you guys doing an OS?
>>46814584
No they're clearly figuring out marketing a non-existent one.
>>46814584
3 weeks ago, a guy launched the idea of doing a distro.
The thread went into a logo thread, and they named the distro "logos".
some guy didn't liked it so they forked the project, and renamed it ricebowl with a different logo.
and a third fork was done.
the next day we could see only logos and ricebowl
then nothing for a week.
Ricebowl seems to be over.
A guy claimed that logos managed to have 20 guys working on it on irc. They used google drive to make a list of all the features of logos (which based distro, systemd or not, what de, software...)
and now, you can see some logos threads, but no real news about the project.
they are doing the ideas. You need a lot of ideas guys for a successful project :^)

"muh round and non-edgy, seamless and lazy, flat design where lowercase fonts reign"
