ricing linux.

2023-06-17

how i got into linux rices and how to get a similar set-up.

okay so

scrot

the first time i ever customised my linux set up was back during corona when we still had online classes.

i had watched this video titled: "cerulean - make linux beautiful" posted by #sudo.

i had never really seen such artistic beauty before- i never really had seen any rices up until that point.

i followed his guide on how to get my setup to look like that, and did everything accordingly. this was during classes - and i couldnt attend any that day haha.

anyways its been like what 2 years since then, and i dont think ive ever went back to a "desktop environment" or uh a non-tiling window manager since then. (i do not know the proper terminology :3)

i've used multiple window managers - bspwm, i3wm, xmonad, awesomewm, qtile and now dwm. i've riced p much all of em following tutorials and stuff and yeah its been pretty fun. i dont really get why i like to switch wms sm but yea.

currently, i am an avid fan of bugswriter, and i watch pretty much every video he uploads. he uploaded this video, titled: "linux ricing crash course." and it went over pretty much every point you need to have a nicely riced set-up.

ill link a couple of stuff to supplement the things he went over in his video:

sxhkd. you can use this as your hotkey manager, instead of writing it in dwm's config and recompiling the program everytime. here is my config for sxhkd.
newlook. this is basically his newlook.sh - you might want to change the xrdb thingy.
wallpapers. you can download my wallpaper collection here <3

and uh yes ok bye for now.
