I don’t see many people running Alpine on bare metal. It’s usually in containers.
How do you like it? I’ve been curious about trying, but haven’t found the time.
Alpine is great, if you’re not on Nvidia. Been daily driving it on bare metal and gotta say, it’s very nice. Fast package manager, OpenRC, up-to date packages and it has setup scripts for many common components like desktop environments.
Looks sick! Nord imo seems to be too low contrast. But maybe that’s just my shitty vision
I like the colours but it’s a bit bright after a while for me.
Not everyone likes Nord but I definitely like the alignment and consistency. 10/10
Thanks yep it was a btt of a pain getting uniform theming up between GTK, Kvantum and Xsettingsd it seems to work nice :)
Wait so you have that too? I didn’t even know it. I thought the only things themed are the terminal and the desktop. Mister/miss, you definitely put a lot of effort in that one and the result is according. Great job
Yeah, it’s been quite a bit of guess work. Gtk/Kvantum themes are both Nordic-dark, then with the right gtk settings everywhere and compiling a few bits (cursors, Xsettingsd) and installing all the flatpak portals, with the right variables as well as all the Kvantum flatpak runtimes it works consistently across GTK/Qt/XWayland apps, including the cursor.
All my installed packages are also there under doc/apkovl. I installed my cursor theme/gtk theme to /usr/share/icons as I compiled them but I’m sure they’d work in /home.
Could you please share your dotfiles?
Oops sorry I thought they were attached to the post! - https://gitlab.com/_j/dotfiles.git
(Just hopefully not Nord VPN)
Nope, I usually pay the Mullvad tax.
Based alpine
It’s nice, low effort now it’s setup! Just messing around with firewalling :)
