What's the difference between that and !unixporn@lemmy.world which is even hosted on the same instance?

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 75 points 2 years ago

One is about shagging your computer and the other one is about making it prettier. Duh.

[-] azha@lemm.ee 37 points 2 years ago

thanks man that kinda uplifted me

[-] lennee@lemm.ee 17 points 2 years ago

this one is not nsfw

[-] moonlight@fedia.io 14 points 2 years ago

I think it's redundant. I wish the community didn't keep its slightly cringeworthy reddit name, but it doesn't make sense to have essentially a copy of the same thing under a new name, especially when it doesn't have a lot of posts to start with.

Why are you looking at a skeleton while trying to make your community popular?

[-] azha@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I became the skeleton trying to make my community popular. because its not easy

[-] grrgyle@slrpnk.net -3 points 2 years ago

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

You made the community yesterday

[-] kiri@ani.social 15 points 2 years ago

Fediverse-friendly link (for non-lemmy.world instances): !LinuxBeauty@lemmy.world.

[-] _____@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

I mean I used to care about that but I kind of don't anymore.

Laptop running sway with literally nothing else except nautilus and Firefox, colorful wallpapers, transparent panels (not the focused one of course)

My desktop meanwhile is stock cinnamon. I actually have no idea how to edit anything in cinnamon but I've changed the wallpaper.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I do not care either.

But other people who are not me do care.

[-] azha@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

and thats why I created LinuxBeauty, to share simple tutorials on simple customizations that will change the look of your desktop.

[-] stembolts@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Most of my customization is backend (cronned git autocommits for doc clouds, automated file transfers for media share, scripted reprovisioning of locked down systems (steamdeck), webui automation for app access via ssh), but I appreciate front-end customization because it helps me to learn about the tools used to do so in case I ever do feel like adding some eye candy.

Idk why so many folks act like two things can't be good. Cool community idea. I'm not quite a customizer, but I am more KDE and less XFCE.

[-] Fecundpossum@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I’m gonna get some screenshots together for a post, leaving this comment as a reminder to myself.

But yeah, if this community could have a few less chibi anime waifu wallpapers than UnixPorn does, I’m totally down to support it.

[-] azha@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

thanks bro its means a lot, i mean i am not getting anything from the community I built but as a Linux user I just like to be helpful and share knowledge so others can benefit from it, because personally I had a hard time finding good tutorials or guides on customizing my Linux Mint. and yea Linux Beauty is just showing off the hidden beauty of Linux not making it look aggressive like the ones on UnixPorn.

[-] Fecundpossum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

lol, my riced out EndeavourOS install running Hyprland could probably be considered aggressive modification, but with the right wallpaper and settings it looks pretty clean and minimal. I’ll see about getting some screenshots when I have time for a post.

But yeah, I like the idea you’re running with. I’ve been all over the linuxsphere distrohopping and there are a lot of very pretty desktop environments out there. Even just Linux Mint Cinnamon without any modification is a gorgeous desktop.

[-] Dragonborn3810@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Ah ive wanted to mess with how my pop!os looks, subbed

[-] azha@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks and welcome aboard if you like you can contribute since the community is new

[-] azha@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

thanks dude, you made my day

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

No doubt :)

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
[-] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

Congrats on the community taking off now. Looks like it'll have activity for at least a little while

[-] azha@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yea but still there is a lot to do, I might provide some information on customizing so others can benefit from it

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

Quality shitpost

[-] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not accurate, in real life there wouldn't be a guy behind you 🤣

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I've started a neovim customizations using kickstarter.nvim, is fine to share it there once i finish it or should i keep it more linux related?

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like as long as you're running nvim in Linux you could take a screenshot of the whole desktop with nvim open to pass it off as ricing

[-] drew_belloc@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

That works, i've subbed anyway, gonna try out some wayland WMs and post there some ricing later

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
