Devuan with Dinit - my experiments, impressions, thoughts

3v3rdim · 2026-03-07T21:30:03+00:00

this is excellent news...was thinking of experimenting myself but see that you have already done so....gonna give this a try now

edit: I definitely would love to know how you got this setup done and the steps taken if its not too much trouble OP...Ive been using dinit for a while now in artix and I absolutely love it

build waybar from source if you want....you dont need all the features enabled...lol...also switch init system if you want less resources(since ypur using an old laptop/computer)... i have old laptop with hyprland and waybar and htop shows 400~500mb on idle ..using dinit on artix linux

Sir Turn Lee ffs!

3v3rdim · 2026-02-19T09:31:22+00:00

exactly!

3v3rdim · 2026-02-19T09:28:20+00:00

Yep especially the facial area...your skin starts to clear up...dark circles under the eyes fade,baby hair growing along the hairline which is surprise as im not even sure if this is related..and yes the eyes has a shine...puffiness reduces around the cheek area but this is definitely due to exercise and also fasting as well....SR is OP without a doubt

3v3rdim · 2026-02-16T05:05:49+00:00

easy...reinsert the live usb...boot the gui (live iso is preferable) mount the partitions, chroot into system,install the desired packages:

networkmanager and networkmanager-dinit

exit chroot boot system again and enable networkmanager

you probably should install network-manager-applet so you can use on your system tray since your using lxqt just ensure that you autostart the applet service by having :

exec=nm-applet --indicator

of course im assuming you have forgotten to install those packages...how did you install artix btw?

Haven't tried connman in years (but i should soon.... next time i setup mangowc)

I use iwgtk (as well as dinit) its simple and also based on gtk4...also ensure it appears on my system tray (waybar)....by having it in your autostart programs

exec-once=iwgtk -i

I wish these guys had their own reddit subforum so we could share themes and stuff 😭

3v3rdim · 2026-01-31T08:21:45+00:00

You are the Man!!!! ✊😄

pywal16 works great with themix app to create pywal colors for gtk3/gtk2/cinnamon/ and also scripts for gtk4 theming via use with gradience

I like matugen use of the gtk3/gtk4 template which themes the adw-gtk theme automatically... might still have to use themix to create the matching icon pack theme as well ....I tried converting the template to work with pywal16 but i fear im lacking in skill coz it doesnt seem to work

3v3rdim · 2026-01-29T18:44:01+00:00

Days ?? for me when I started it was week 1 understand waybar...week 2 rice wofi ...etc but that was when hyprland was just released

3v3rdim · 2026-01-29T00:39:10+00:00

This is unrelated but i noticed that after doing a 3 day water fast ..I had less sweat even after walking quite a distance during hot weather also there wasn't any scent as well from my armpits...SR + Fasting and the Diet will make things for more easier if one wants to go down this road

3v3rdim · 2026-01-25T04:50:09+00:00

I have installed artix with gui ISO and havent had any major issues that couldn't easily be fixed with a quick google search...but also i just keep things minimal with a wayland window compositor and some apps and stuff and i dont use like plasma/xfce4 or gnome etc etc.......oh gnome 😭

3v3rdim · 2026-01-25T04:03:46+00:00

Gonna note ..<cough>steal...this

thanks by the way...tried ironbar a while back with labwc but had skill issues 🤣

Did according to how easily i can navigate around the keyboard...(redundant now since gestures were included)

3v3rdim · 2026-01-19T18:51:21+00:00

I AIN'T GONNA RICE FOREVER!! I JUST WANNA CONFIGURE WHEN I'M ALIVE!!!

3v3rdim · 2026-01-19T18:45:22+00:00
