Sister communities:


Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Material you changes the android colour palette based on the colours in your background image.

    Looks like pywal does the same for your terminal.

    Material You: sets all the colours of your phone according to the colours of your wallpaper

    Pywal: sets all the colours of your Linux desktop (terminal colours, GTK theme, config files derived from template files) according to the colours of your wallpaper

    What I don't get is how often are people looking at their wallpapers? I see mine for a couple seconds before all the screen real estate gets taken by apps or monitoring etc.

    It's to get a cohesive theme across all applications, so, even if you don't see the wallpaper, it overrides the default app themes that would all clash with each other otherwise

    I use a tiling window manager, and it maximizes that behavior. I still have wallpapers, because I spend most of my time in terminals, and they're set to something like 90% opacity. I can still see the wallpapers, but it's subtle. Inactive, non-terminal windows get 80% opacity, so I see it more there.
