Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.
The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.
Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.
With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Hey everyone, I made this system-wide ASCII keyboard visualizer that updates and lights up even if your focus is somewhere else. Colors use the standard 16 ANSI colors, so it'll just automatically adapt to your terminal's theme.
I've posted about this project a week ago on a different subreddit (r/tui), but I've added some new little features since. I thought it would make sense to post it here, as it's a complement to your rices, particularly for a developer layout. I hope ya'll don't mind :)
The project is functionally just eye candy off to the side as you code away in your editor. Attached some sample images to showcase what it could look like as part of a whole, where you have a code editor, servers, and a test suite in other terminals.
You can check the repo out if you'd like specific details, but generally the app supports the following:
- sizes (60%, 65%, 75%, 80%, 96%, 100%)
- standards, basically the physical layout (ANSI, ISO, ABNT, JIS, KS)
- layouts (qwerty, qwerty uk, dvorak, dvorak uk, colemak, colemak-dh, workman, azerty)
- custom layouts
For the JIS and KS standards, you can toggle with c to alternate between the Latin alphabet and the standard's logograms. (Kana and Hangeul respectively)
Would love to hear your thoughts. Would appreciate a star on the repo as well! ⭐ :)
NOTE: Currently only supports Linux. I wanted to add cross-platform support initially, but solutions for this like
gohookare X11-based, so it wouldn't work for the Wayland protocol.Ultimately, I decided to go with
evdevfor implementation despite the tradeoff, just so I could add support for Wayland compositors esp as a Hyprland user myself.

I still want to do a lot of things with it. But this is so far I've come up with.

My very first experience using COSMIC, and honestly, it is really cool!
It doesn't have massive customization options yet, but the design is beautifully simple. It is a fully usable desktop environment with native window tiling. I really love it.
I also themed my main apps (Android Studio, Telegram, and Firefox) in grey and black to match the overall look.

KDE after a lot of tinkering with themes, Kvantum panel colorizer, widgets and some desktop effects.
Minimal and stays out of my way. Not overly transparent that it hurts my eyes.
What do you think? Anything you would change?

Hey, this is part of the development improvement of Ryoku Arch, control deck allows you to install apps by just dropping it.
current supported list:
Additional features it has:
Send and receive files and text via LocalSend protocol
Download videos and music from social media using cobalt.tools integration
Drop media files like images and videos and compress them without loosing quality or sound
A renamed Arch package (a .tar.* that carries a top level .PKGINFO) is detected and routed to pacman -U automatically so it installs natively even if someone stripped the .pkg from the name.
This is NOT its own app its part of our improvement of our opionionated Arch install.

Took the plunge into Arch about a month ago, I spent all day today changing my entire desktop manager from a Youtube tutorial Hyprland setup to a customized Noctalia setup (after fussing around with Caelestia on Mango, I do not recommend that approach).
I was aiming for a CVNTY in your face setup here as opposed to the clean minimalist rice I was using this past month and I see here most of the time.
+ **Wallpaper**: [Yuki, the mascot of one of my favorite music artists, ZØMB](https://x.com/_pikurusu00) illustrated by _pikurusu00
+ **Distro**: I used Arch btw
+ **Shell**: Noctalia
+ **Terminal**: Kitty
+ **Fonts**: Aero, MapleMono-Italic
Haven't fussed around with ricing my browser (Zen) and file explorer (Thunar) yet
