Yes and it's been in the OS list for a little while as has OpenIndiana

I'm on macOS. How to get into /minimal/?
Cameron Stewart
ow i like this thread
Adam Wilson
First step is to go back to Rebbit. Second step is you can't.

>OpenIndiana But isn't that Solaris based, senpai?
Luke Anderson
use the terminal for most of your file management purposes. Install homebrew so that you have access to a lot of command line utilities. In general, try to use terminal-based applications if possible. Not really much else I can say, as you can't really switch desktop environments on macOS as you can with GNU/Linux.
Chase Long
Yes it is. >can BSD be minimalist? >Yes and it (referring to BSD) 's been in the OS list for a little while as has (now referring to something different) OpenIndiana
Brody Fisher
Hey guys, I think I'm minimalistic enough to join your group
add this to the Pure ALSA paste, this is how you get current firefox builds to play sound without pulseaudio
Anthony Jenkins
>umg >unix >lmao >lmao meme thread died in less than 24hrs, let's boost the record boys ofc you can. You just need to pretend and you are auto /minimal/ or better /unix-minimal/. The OP is exactly like this and also an Apple product /minimalist/ consumer.

Is frontend web development the anti minimalism?
Html/Css/Javascript Jade/Sass(Compass)/Jquery Frameworks(Bootstrap, Angular) etc... It's a big fat mass and nobody cares for semantic anymore, so the purpose for css is not there anymore. The original design and how it has been intended is down the drain but noone cares and no one wants to redisgn or admit the frankenstein monster front end development has become
The emperor does have no clothes, but no one cares. People are fine with the wasted human resources because webdevelopment nowadays is so backwards.

I think the biggest thing there is that electron needs to DIE A FLAMING DEATH.
Like, look if you want to make some redarded-ass website/webapp in the browser, it's not a great thing, but in the end, fine. But STOP USING JAVASCRIPT FOR DESKTOP PROGRAMS. That's not what it's meant for. You have C and C++ and toolkits like Qt if you want to do that.
I hear even Mozilla Thunderbird is going this direction, reimplementing shit in "web technologies". fuck off with that
Thomas Taylor
Remember : XFCE3 is true minimalism.
Isaac Wright
just do everything on emacs bro
Luke Long
GIF is not a good example of front end web development. Example in GIF takes some level of ingenuity and intelligence.
Lincoln Gray
I've seen what that looks like. Kinda looks a little bit like CDE
Jose Phillips
Taking note, thanks
Camden Cooper
Any guides on how to de-bloat OSX?
Dominic White
Other than changing the default programs for lighter alternatives and using more the terminal, no. MacOS is as bloated as windows and even more prone to crash if you mess up with the defaults.
Jacob Gonzalez
Front end web dev is just the preferred hunting ground of ad slingers and scumfuck B2B companies at the moment. > sure goyim, the widgets are free > just let us monitor everyone who visits your site > what ad money? we already gave you widgets Give it another 10 years. Everyone will realize they're getting fucked.
Christopher Robinson
Thanks, what are some lightweight alternatives?
Nathaniel Brooks
Switch to GNU/Linux

Emacs is the opposite of minimalism
Use launchctl to disable any unnecessary services
Adam Fisher
I unironically agree with this pic
Aiden Ortiz
>start going minimal and deleting things I don't care about >end up with less than 20GB
Now what'll I do with all these hard disks?
Nathan Robinson
I guess you could use termux, mutt, vim and w3m or something to get a similar effect but why use 4 programs when you can use 1?
bash is more minimal than C for most use-cases.
Wyatt Howard
sorry meant tmux, been away from my desktop too much recently
Cooper Phillips
Reminder that only bitmap fonts are minimal.
Aaron Wilson
Store stuff on them!! ^_^
Henry Morgan
You do not understand what minimal means
The whole point is that you already have system utilities for everything emacs includes, so why would you download another entire software suite?
Eli Myers
...
Jace Perry
depends whether it's more minimal to have a swiss army knife or a set of tools
Bentley Brown
Not that guy, I like Emacs myself, it has a lot of pro and it should be included in the list of minimalist software. The thing is, normally it doesnt reuse external applications. By this you are tied to an specific implementation and if there is an improvement on the low level, meaning, an application works better under the hood, you can pick that application instead of the monolith that is Emacs.
The Lisp engine taken by its own, and the text editor taken by its own, those are really good things an is a meme hating on Emacs.
Nathan Williams
MWM?
Connor Peterson
emacs is like carrying around a set of tools AND a 350lb swiss army knife that does exactly the same thing and requires you to know magic sayings to get it to work
Owen Barnes
yep
Jordan Taylor
Media. Hoard data. Eventually everything will be "as a service", so hoard everything you can now.
Samuel Mitchell
I unironically make my system more minimal so I can make easier to hoard data. When you reach certain level you understand.
Grayson White
Thanks user, very useful. I think I'll try i3 because due to it's popularity. Its performances seem also good.
Matthew Howard
Hi minix boy friend! I installed the pkgsrc tree and stuff. Tell me what I should try installing with it!
Alexander Thompson
nice! install figlet like me i gotta look through pkgsrc and see what's included
Brayden Turner
They have a WM section. Gonna see if I can a tiling WM like i3 or suckless dwm
Ryan Foster
Is it possible to use a DE and still be minimal?
Hunter Ross
Maybe if is CDE
Lucas Williams
Not usually, DEs by definition come with unnecessary software to give you an entire computing environment. Don't feel bad if you have to use one, though.
CDE is not minimal by any means
Andrew Reyes
On my laptop I'm running Arch with SysVInit and XFCE (without xfce4-goodies). I only have 400 or so packages installed. I like the idea of minimalism but I just don't have the motivation to learn to use a tiling window manager.
Wyatt Lopez
getting i3 now. I think it's getting dependencies first. Also I just realized I called u boyfriend awkward... There's that user who uses XFCE3, which is apparently just as light as minimal WMs according to him. Yeah if you need one you need one, but if you don't, you don't.
Landon Lewis
that's fair, you don't have to use a tiling window manager to use a "minimal" window manager. DEs by definition are just window managers that ship with a bunch of extra software to make your computing experience easier. you can install just xfwm if you wanted to. you might like openbox, it's a non-tiling "minimal" window manager.
Jace King
There are tons of non-tiling wm. One of them is IceWM and looks like a DE. Other options are FVWM, Window Maker. and my favorite Motif Window Manager, aka MWM (the one in the pics above).
Asher Ross
let's not forget that dwm has floating support
Cooper Hall
i didn't say i minded
dwm is okay, if you have to use a tiling wm you should use dwm it should use xterm rather than st by default though
>tfw echo and figlet don't support escape seqences well atleast I can use printf
Hudson Brooks

Adrian Jenkins
Anyone getting low internet speed using wpa_supplicant in Void?
My cable speed is fine. But when I'm in wifi I get about 65% less. Fuck me. I might be doing something wrong.
Nicholas Stewart
I've had issues where multiple instances of network managers were running simultaneously like netctl and NetworkManager or wpa_supplicant and connman. maybe use 'top' to see what's running.
Asher Myers
I want to do the Minix challenge. The the way it was proposed is too plain. Any suggestions of how I can customize it? Preferably something that I can implement myself.
