I like having the butt mogged some zoomers girl as my background.
I just installed a new Linux system on my laptop and I feel called out.
Because we’re fucking weebs…
I’m very clearly not fucking anyone.
Mood
Meanwhile, I’m married and can’t be bothered to change anything in my Kubuntu UI from the defaults. I wonder if there’s a correlation, LOL
That is because KDE Plasma with the standard theme is already perfect and there is nothing to improve!
The likelihood that the poster I’m replying to has built a Gundam model kit in the last 6 months has risen by 58%.
Will you share pictures of your latest Gundam dioramas with us?
Only if you show me your Ork army.

What is it that will need additional development?
looks at a screenshot of neofetch

It could support Unicode distro logos. Or sixel. Or Kitty Graphics Protocol. It could try rendering text using 24-bit color, rather than just the 16 ANSI colors.
EDIT: Looking at the
fastfetch (1)man page, it looks like it supports Sixel, Kitty Graphics Protocol, and 24-bit color, though given that it doesn’t use them onfoot, I assume that it doesn’t try to detect terminals that support them and use them by default.Doesn’t ship with Unicode distro logos either, but it apparently supports user-specified logo files, so I imagine that one could obtain a Unicode logo from somewhere and use that.
EDIT2: Yeah, doesn’t detect and auto-use them on
kittyeither.EDIT3: Oh, wait.
neofetchhas to support some kind of graphics protocol too, even if it doesn’t use it for the distro logos, since you can see it using it for the sexy anime girl on the example image on the GitHub project page:deleted by creator
All those bits of hardware and software detection, logos, distros, interfacing with the different system information, it’s all an ongoing effort. It’s essentially shooting at a constantly moving target.
I use fastfetch.
What about fastfetch? I’ve been a happy user for a while.
Use them for what exactly? The only use case I could ever see is for screenshots.
Also! Thick padding/space around tiled windows just taking up valuable screen space.
“I use a tiling window manager to utilise screen space!”
Meanwhile the 10km gap between windows
Some catppuccino would be good aswell
That meme has always irked me. Squidward is dishing attitude towards the firh ordering the only thing they have on menu. It is not like they make anything other than crab patties.
Maybe he’s mocking the fishes slow response time to a 1 answer question.
what could you want more

also some socks
Changing things up by finding the most unattractive anime girl for my background instead.
An unattractive anime girl? Is that even possible?
As the internet will lewd any and all things I deem this challenge impossible!
As long as it’s not watery diarrhea brown (a.k.a “gruvbox”), I’ll take it.
I feel very attacked.
Yeah too many just look so… samey. Not mine, but one I wish to recreate
In terms of window decorations, looks like twm with default settings. Standard window manager to ship with what is now Xorg.
EDIT: For emacs, those are also default colors, I think, for at least some point. X11 color names HarvestWheat and ForestGreen, if memory serves aright.
EDIT2: No, that’s probably not a graphical emacs instance, because the title is “sh”. They’re probably running sh and then running console emacs (or vim or something else, I guess, can configure either to look like that) and don’t have their shell set up to pass the escape sequences to tell the virtual terminal program to update the window title.
Thank you for the info! I wasn’t aware of the X11 colors.
The original author only gives this information about their setup:
bar - custom + fork of dmenu (not shown)
gtk theme - custom version of cde theme
icons - just a couple grabbed from various themes
term - urxvt and a generic vte term
I imagine this is not Motif since it’s a GTK theme? Not very familiar with GUI stuff.
Maybe it’s FVWM? It is a derivative of TWM.
Perhaps NsCDE?
NsCDE and other CDE lookalikes seem to have a thicker horizontal bar in the upper left decoration than this and the original CDE, but perhaps that is one of the customizations the author mentions.
Also, the background seems to be from Elementary OS beta. Specifically, blueprint hue shifted to match purpleprint, based on the cropping and vignette.
That’s obviously just reskinned domain/os. You thought you could fool us, but you haven’t got one over on me!
I’m still just trying to get my terminal to look like the Portal (1) Aperture Science screensaver, but for some reason last time I tried I couldn’t get it just right. Now that I have KDE (and thus color picker and Konsole), I should try again…
The hardest part is the glow effect on the text I think.
Idk how exactly you’d apply the effect to your terminal, but you could get that text effect by applying a scanline and bloom filter
If there was reshade for terminal it’d be 2 check boxes lol
You might have some luck with a wm that can apply shaders.
Something like hyprland, wayfire, or compost could do the trick; and you’d be looking for a very diffuse (glsl) bloom shader with an exaggerated horizontal component or an additional scanline shader.
This is more like Fallout than Portal but maybe it can work for you.
I’ve never been more excited about ruining my eyes 🤩
I used the thing here a while back to take a screenshot of running gopher on some of the remaining gopher servers in gopherspace (note that the sdf.org guys shown here also run an lemmy server, nicely linking the past and today). Its default settings in amber were a not-wildly-unreasonable match for some of the VT terminals connected to a VAX/VMS system that I used in the 1990s. More noise added by default, but it’s the closest thing I’ve seen to a replica to that era that one’s likely to see short of getting an actual CRT VT terminal and plonking it on your serial port (well, these days, probably a USB-to-serial adapter).
EDIT: Apparently this guy set up docker images on Debian to emulate old computing environments and then rigged that to a VT420 and ran gopher on that:
Hahaha, been there. :)
It can do bloom with its shaders, the way @ArcadeSlime@lemmy.dbzero0.com wants. I don’t know if any of the presets have quite that much bloom, though.
It can do CRT-style scanlines, as he’s looking for, and it doesn’t have doesn’t have to have the faux-CRT curvature; see the “Futuristic” preset for a preset that doesn’t have that curvature.
Thank you! I had no idea what “bloom” was (clearly, because I called it glow lmao).
This is at least close enough, if not perfect, especially if I can (and I expect so) change the background to the aperture logo (which can easily be found in the correct orange/brownish color online).

You cannot in the current mainline branch, but it looks like someone has a pull request open for the past couple months to add a background image.
If I remember right, they were adjustable in its settings. But it’s been a long time since I’ve used this.
You’re right…just checked, updated my comment, and then saw yours. :-)
Huh, cool! Apparently the dev who made this thought about everything. :)
One eye-candy thing it can’t do is animated cursor movement. Not sure how to describe this, but basically, when the cursor moves, you draw a trail behind it.
According to that, KiTTY got support for it six months ago.
EDIT: That being said, that’s not really “retro”, so might be out-of-scope for the project.
Yeah, that’s definitely not a retro feature but my my, that’s a cool one. 10 years ago, I wouldn’t imagine something like this on a terminal emulator.
