- A notch at the top of the screen that says when something finishes, in one line, then goes quiet.

- A search that finds apps, files, settings and sums, and passes anything else to the web.

- Colours taken from your wallpaper, across the desktop, the apps and the terminal.

- Its own apps: Pinax (files), Viewer (photos, video, PDFs), Graphis (code editor), Settings, Apps (more than 1,300

apps, one press to get one), and Praxis for an AI agent if you want one (Claude Code, Codex, opencode or pi, signed

in with your own account). Nothing else depends on an agent.

- Thyris, a browser on Chrome's engine, with uBlock Origin Lite built in and Google's AI features off.

- Updates download in the background. The notch offers Tonight or Restart, and they install while the computer

restarts, with no password.

Its the 'yuk' rice preset from the ryostrore but with a different wallpaper! Pretty simple, and its also just a different Fastfetch from the ryostrore. The programs i am running here are Yazi (Top right), Fastfetch, obviously (bottom right), and Fetch (Left), and that is just a spinning logo of the distro you're using. btw i came from unixporn so the headline is kinda different from the others.

I rewrote my Quickshell config as a native Rust shell for Hyprland: bar, dock, Dynamic Island, desktop cards, Spotlight-style search, control centre, notifications, and a lock screen.

Why native?

On NVIDIA, every process with an EGL context maps the GL driver, costing about 100–160 MB RSS before the first frame even renders.

• Mist draws its surfaces on the CPU into wl_shm buffers.
• Completely event-driven — hidden surfaces do zero work.
• Only the live wallpaper (spawned as an isolated process) touches OpenGL.

Idle Resource Usage

Feedback and bug reports are welcome — especially looking for testing on non-NVIDIA GPUs (AMD/Intel).

how bad it is ... ?

unironically my girlfriend thought it was ugly........

anyway, putting that boring thing aside (the person who thought it was ugly), i really loved how it turned out, especially since it was my first actually heavy rice

i'd already done a tui style one with sway, but this was my first little aesthetic one like this

Estuve haciendo un wallpaper porque a veces no se encuentra que poner en el escritorio jajaj

Seems pretty much complete now

Built a terminal music streamer in Rust called fringe.

GITHUB

It streams Spotify playlists without needing Premium or the Spotify desktop app open, caches tracks locally for instant replay, and focuses on clean visuals.

Features:

- Word-synced lyrics: Highlights words in real-time as they are sung (not just line-by-line).

- Audio visualizer: Built-in CAVA spectrum, or embed external CLI tools (lavat, system cava, etc.) directly into the visualizer panel via PTY.

- Album covers: Kitty / iTerm2 graphics protocol support with half-block Unicode fallback.

- AFK mode: Fullscreen screensaver view for lyrics or visualizer.

- Config: Plain text config in ~/.config/fringe/fringe.conf (themes, bar width/gap, gravity, sensitivity, custom colors).

- Zero-lag playback: Pre-buffers upcoming tracks in background; replaying cached songs starts instantly.

Controls:

Space - Play / Pause

N / P - Next / Previous

L - Load playlist URL

/ - Filter playlist

S / R - Shuffle / Repeat

+ / - - Volume

Q - Quit
