HELL naw

Nooo not the pinky ! :(

This, but Emacs

Alpine works great for the desktop and I’m using it myself for my lower end machine.

Working without glibc and with some strangly named packages is sometimes tricky, but so far I have been able to do anything I’d wanted!

If it can help you in your journey, here is my personal configuration for Alpine, with WMs and DEs on their own branches. Only the ‘suckless’ (DWM) and ‘xfce’ are working properly so far: https://gitlab.com/sunoc/als/-/tree/suckless?ref_type=heads

Great list! Thanks for sharing!

Better UI consistency. It’s always really annoying when you have your nice dark theme and a bright white page pops out of nowhere and fry your eyes.

For ease on the eye, keep everything black on white, and turn down screen brightness if the environment is dark.

I beg to slightly differ, but it’s a good take overall:

• Aeon Desktop or Fedora Silverblue, any sane immutable system, really
• Zig + Rust + Scheme / Clojure
• systemd,
• wayland,
• pipewire,
• gtk,
• Gnome,
• nano / gedit / whatever y’all are using instead of glorious Emacs
• flatpak,
• distrobox
• light mode

Aeon Desktops it is

Aeon FTW

Aeon is the way
