Beginners guide to GNU/Linux minimalism

1) Get comfortable with the terminal and learn terminal commands. Practice makes perfect.

2) Try one of the listed GNU/Linux distros inside a VM (Virtual Machine) before installing it on real hardware

3) Ask questions in the thread.

Protip: If you aren't comfortable with the terminal or aren't proficient with GNU/Linux this thread isn't for you.

Because 3d borders is minimalism?

I am sorry choose one.

Listen up buddy. RetroMinimalism is better than FlatShit.

>xfce main panel looks like cde
all right, how did you do that?

new thread here! new thread here!

>RetroMinimalism is better than FlatShit.
True, but your pictures are testimony of autism, not retrominimalism.

I used an XFCE version from 2002

bloat

You have to draw borders to buttons, it's just that they are different colors to give a 3D illusion. There's no loss in simplicity.

Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.

>projecting that much

desu I think having the windows, buttons, and background all the same shade of grey is too simple. It makes it less minimalist because I have to spend more time processing what is what.

We can go more minimal.
The problem is, modern so-called minimalism is actually a lot heavier than old bloat.

There was a guy, who asked about .cbz reader:

I'd say, the most minimal way to read them is to extract as .zip

Is that minimalistic enough?

trash

behold, i have achieved sayori

...

macOS with chunkwm and Übersicht is minimal as fuck

Get into the oven.

>בגרות בהיסטוריה
Are you over 18 mate?

That isn't minimalism

Exactly
True minimalism is here:

>made after
>true
You aren't fooling anyone here.

pseudo-3D borders were the flat cancer of the 1990s
>that horrifying stretching due to shit aspect ratio

But what was flat cancer of 1980s?

>like windows 95 classic theme
>recording software doesn't work if I have it on

You realize this is because the OS was designed to be usable by default on a lowest of the low home TV over RF?
Nothing is stopping you customising it how you like.

Says the guy posting the picture of the origin platform of flat pseudo-3D buttons.
UNIX DE's.

shitty gimmick color palettes
sunview wasn't a DE you fucking retard

am I minimal enough for this thread ?

I like your background.

Neck yourself, OP.

not my pasta, sorry

w2c cool tiled pixmap wallpapers like pic?

You should use the one from the real minimalism general

>only limits to Linux
It's not real thread.

Global Rule 3, please write out fully what did you want to say.

It's always been the GNU/Linux minimalism general since the beginning!

It's been /minimalism/ thread, not specifically GNU/Linux minimalism.

Gentoo can use OpenRC, Void uses runit, bot sure about Alpine.

>It's been
Yeah, since earlier today when you made this thread.
Before then, it was GNU/Linux minimalism thread.

Not him, but wtc is 'where to cop'. He wants to know where to get something.

>implying there is a modern OS besides GNU that gives you enough control to be minimal and is still modern enough to use on a main machine

And every time it was created, the garbage threads would die before even exceeding 70 replies.

Maybe it was a bad choice to limit the OP text to a bunch arbitrary selected distros, maybe it was a bad choice to only focus on Linux, maybe these type of threads will continue to be garbage with zero replies/discussion, who knows?

I have an archive from other user full of old Windows wallpapers. It has some tiles for Win95 as well.
Interested?

Imagine this level of delusion

hell yeah dude, send it over

No, minimalism is not minimum lines of code.
Minimalism is no littles things on screen.

I think we would need to minimalize something totally else, that amount of bytes used.

Isn't it obvious?

What's good file uploader for files up to 500 MB without registration?
