rice about 1 month in
started with KDE, installed and began ricing hyprland like just over a month ago, been daily driving hyprland for about 3 weeks. been gaming and everything on it and so far haven't faced much issues at all. i mainly play rocket league (via heroic games launcher and slipstream) and minecraft, with some random steam games on the side
still dual booting tho because i can, and unfortunately even though i was planning on eventually completely getting rid of windows, rocket league's allegedly getting easy-anticheat which means it will most likely stop working on linux :( ... so yeah im keeping windows for rl. until the day epic games gives linux users some care i guess
back story:
only reason i tried linux in the first place was just curiosity lol, and since i have a couple random sata ssd's lying around. i tried using ubuntu for 1 week and it was ahh for me, i broke it somehow, nvidia drivers were messy and did not play well at all with gnome and idk got fed up with it and said you know what screw this, let me install arch... took me a bit over 2 hours to finally get through archinstall without it crashing 😭😭.. eventually tho it worked. used kde for the first couple weeks before hearing about hyprland. and now here i am!!
u can find my wallpaper on ismail inceoglu's artstation. my whole rice revolves around this orange gray scifi color scheme in the artwork. too lazy to make all my colors dynamically change based on the wallpaper or smth, just hard coded everything lol
recently started using thunar instead of dolphin and zen browser instead of firefox
learned how to rice everything myself with help from gemini :D
image 10 is rmpc and cava which i have a script for launching/closing both of them in floating mode by a keybind, i am yet to fully rice rmpc, so far its still on the default config
image 8 is this lovely calculator "Qalculate" its so good man
image 5 shows both rofi and swaync in action. using rofi for my app launcher and also for my clipboard
image 2 shows hyprlock in action. i made a 2nd version of my wallpaper with this frosted glass bubble kind of thing baked onto it with krita
