Thanks for the advice! I’ve always wanted a very minimalistic almost terminal-like UX and am excited to learn some more with the help of Niri.

That makes sense. I’m familiar with the concepts at least. Thank you!

And yeah, the plan here is to acclimate myself so when I set my kids up with computers they’ll use it without realizing there ever was a need to use Windows.

This looks amazing, and I’m intrigued!

I’m a long-time headless Linux user but am now in the process of migrating away from Windows to Linux as my daily driver. So far I’ve used PopOS, Ubuntu and Mint to give them all a try. What I don’t understand at this time is how to replicate what you’ve got here. Looking at your linked repo I’m assuming that’s your way of sharing all of the configs that drive this look.

Can I take Ubuntu, for instance, and install the necessary applications and then apply your configs to get close to what you have here, or is there something more specific I need to do to accomplish it?
