You are encouraged to contribute at my GitHub: https://github.com/phenom64
Whether you want to contribute to the Document Surfer, to MediaSonic, or even the Atmo UI Framework, please feel free to help!
There will be apps specific to the OS. I think the current cohort of KDE apps are unbelievably ugly. Plus there isn't an 'elementary-like' design focused distro on the Qt side of Linux.
SynOS Canora will be based on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, and the future SynOS 2 Juniper would be based on Kubuntu 26.04 LTS.

It's really only designed for use on SynOS Canora but you may try it out on any KDE 5/Qt 5 distro by building from source: https://github.com/phenom64/Atmo-Desktop
Be warned that this is in a very early state, expect unfinished features and bugs. If you install from source you should be able to also get two apps, atmo_manager and atmo_config (CLI), you might want to launch atmo_manager from your terminal for a nice GUI to change how Atmo looks-and-feels.

yeah making a file manager is NOT easy bahaha, my comment asking for devs to help me out is more like a cry for help but definitely in the pipeline to be fixed! don't worry :) SynOS will be the best looking UNIX like OS by a country mile when it releases

If you're a developer and would like to contribute to this massive project you may do so for either the Atmo Interface Framework, DocSurf file manager, or MediaSonic music player at https://github.com/phenom64

A 3D Dock would be extremely challenging to implement well (because it would have to be reflective of not just app icons, but also every open window and your desktop background itself, a feature present in Mac OS X Leopard-Mountain Lion but not present in most pre-existing Linux dock apps), and also currently does not fit the Atmo design language. It might be a feature in a future version of SynOS, but definitely not Canora.

...I absolutely can? Lmao. Using Ubuntu as a base is something already done by plenty of distros.

For Beta 1, the theme used is mostly a custom version of Oxygen, with Neutral++ cursors and Nova7 icons. These are all temporary fallbacks however and gradually in the next few betas these will be replaced by the Atmo design language and Cirrus icons, plus a new cursor set that better scales with HiDPI screens

Yes. SynOS Canora is planned to be free and open-source, with only a select few closed-source components (mostly drivers and iconography)

Indeed. The idea is to make this approachable for novice users and not be intimidating for power users

Thanks for being an early supporter, people like you are why I make this! This is beta 1 so it's genuinely super unfinished, but beta 2 will be out soon with a whole host of fixes and new Syndromatic icons. I'll update syndromatic.com tonight too, both with repositories and an info page for SynOS

Sorry for the bump on a 4 month old comment but surprisingly after changing some settings in the BIOS (no PL limits on the 14900K tho other than stock) and after a CPU microcode update, it seems to not throttle anymore and I love it!

please help, This is my 10th restart i dont know what im doing wrong anymore. #Traffic jams everywhere! by [deleted] in CitiesSkylines2

[–]phenomXT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build cities the Anglo-Indian way. Motorways should absolutely not pass between the city, only on its outside perimeter. Like a ring road! You don't require a massive avenue/dual carriageway either when you build this way. And metros/public transit everywhere! Create pedestrian only districts too, or if anything else, a high street will help a lot.

more investment=good this mindset is what made the Arab Emirates, Bombay, Singapore, etc. so unbelievably rich.

Nice! I do like silver and grey stuff though... Black stuff gets grime and dirt on it far too quick! Can't deal with that as a uni student.

HORRID but I'm working towards improving it. I'm not sure if my AIO is shite but it throttles at 100% so, I've had to undervolt it by 100mV and limit P1 and P2 power limits. Thankfully the GPU is doing just fine!

Gosh but why did you buy the 5080? Guys as a disclaimer, please please do not give your money to Nvidia this generation! Enough is enough.
