Thanks for the advice! I’ve always wanted a very minimalistic almost terminal-like UX and am excited to learn some more with the help of Niri.

That makes sense. I’m familiar with the concepts at least. Thank you!

And yeah, the plan here is to acclimate myself so when I set my kids up with computers they’ll use it without realizing there ever was a need to use Windows.

This looks amazing, and I’m intrigued!

I’m a long-time headless Linux user but am now in the process of migrating away from Windows to Linux as my daily driver. So far I’ve used PopOS, Ubuntu and Mint to give them all a try. What I don’t understand at this time is how to replicate what you’ve got here. Looking at your linked repo I’m assuming that’s your way of sharing all of the configs that drive this look.

Can I take Ubuntu, for instance, and install the necessary applications and then apply your configs to get close to what you have here, or is there something more specific I need to do to accomplish it?

Stopped in at a coffee shop in Vermont one early morning for a latte and have been buying my beans from him ever since. I’m not local to the area but he ships anywhere in the US (might only be continental) for free with 3 or more bags purchased. I’m not overly picky and usually go for whatever dark roasts he has on hand, but I’ve never been disappointed when making my espresso.
