I have been quite busy with my studies so I haven't had too much time to work. Had some time to add soft body physics to the geese and allowing them to throw each other.

(Edit: my sound settings were kinda messed up ignore the crackling lol)

This is where I work and where I spend my free time. I'm currently moving it to Quickshell and dropping Waybar and some rofi menus, so this is the last version with Waybar.

While playing around with cursor shaders on ghostty on a free weekend, I realized that the one thing I have no customization for is /usr/bin/clear, aka screen blanking, so I created a replacement for clear that will do it in am more aesthetically pleasing way.

It is made the spirit of pyroclear, but instead of burning the screen down it pours in streams of braille glyphs (U+2800–U+28FF, like neo --charset braille), cmatrix-style. You can change that to a limited set of other glyphs. The streams eat whatever is on screen, meet in the middle, fade out with decreasing brightness, and leave a blank terminal (scrollback included) for your prompt.

You can find the source at https://codeberg.org/ftranschel/neoclear/ and build with cargo, should you want to play around with it. All options are implemented solely because I was terminally (d'oh...) unhappy with the looks until I had pacing, glyph fade-out and directions customizable.

Been customizing Serpantinum (Quickshell shell for Hyprland) and added a couple of small mods of my own:

🐈 Desktop Cat A pixel-art cat that wanders along the bottom of your screen.

• Reacts to music, the focused app, CPU load, and notifications
• Sleeps in a bed on the bar
• Earns treats while you code
• You can toss it a treat and it chases it

🎧 Lofi Toggle SUPER + - starts a calm lofi stream for coding. Press it again to stop.

Both mods come with installers you can re-run after a shell update.

Happy to answer questions or share the code if anyone's interested!

A small but satisfying update for wayves-shell: the corner shape of every notch is now configurable. Each corner can be anything from a straight cut to round, a squircle, or a shape that bulges past square.

It's controlled by keys in Properties.json, same as everything else, and any change animates live:

"notch": {
"cornerRoundness": 1.45,
"radius": 30
}

0: straight cut (chamfer)

1: round (the default)

~1.45: squircle

~1.8: bulges past square

You can set it for all notches under notch, or override it for a single notch. Each corner can also have its own value with topLeftRoundness, topRightRoundness, bottomRightRoundness and bottomLeftRoundness. A per-corner key overrides that notch's cornerRoundness, which overrides the shared value.

Nested notches keep their own values where they join their parent, so you can mix shapes. The schema documents every key, so your editor will autocomplete and explain them.

My first rice. Wanted a desk that looks like nothing is there until you need it, so everything is near-black with one blue accent that only shows up on hover. Caelestia is the base; everything on screen is a Quickshell config I wrote on top of it. Details and dotfiles in the comment.

I've been loving gentoo so much, my distrohopping is definitely over. let me know if you want any part of my config.

I made this theme for my girlfriend since shes a big fan of Melanie Martinez, and since she loves pastel colors and stuff i have this.

I <3 my gf.

gtk theme is private, its her theme and only her theme and stuff idk

Hey everyone! I'm Aarav, 16yo guy who loves ricing, and today, after weeks of development, I'm finally ready to release my very own shell, Sweeteh (it's named after my favorite plush)!

I have made a video, which showcases 50% of what my shell is. You should watch the video for an overview, and check out https://github.com/Aarav2709/Sweeteh in case you're interested on how to install and run this!

- noctalia (as full-feature dock)

it was hard to port lavat and pipes.sh to alpine but I did it

My wife's windows laptop got bloated into disrepair and its format was fast approaching.
Being broke I thought this would be a great opportunity to give her a custom os to support her video editing/content creation hobby.

The whole idea was to make videography themed desktop with some bright vibes I won't go into details but it's personal preference here. The whole idea stemmed from the camera launcher and ironically it was one of the easiest things to make.

I created the assets from 3D models in blender with cell shaded rendering to get the 2d look.

The two hardest things ironically were:
1. getting hyprland to render properly with gpu passthrough over moonlight from my VM on some ubuntu host I have. (so I can see what im working from the comfort of my usual desk)
2. installing capcut.

In hindsight capcut may not be necessary because after a week my wife loves working on linux with claude code (to edit her system, make file pipelines) and nuzky (also with claude code).

P.S. recording from a VM and I don't think I did a good job don't know how to show more without making video 10 minutes long. Maybe I am not supposed to show every nook and cranny?

P.S.2 in my CV under 'mentoring/teaching' section I now add one-liner how I got my non-techie wife to daily drive a linux desktop environment.
