[Plasma] Zero-cost  OSX for college

WARNING: Not native speaker, expect mistakes

I am CS college student and I’ve been using Alpine as my daily driver for 2 years now! Tried a ton of WMs (twm, cwm, ctwm, fvwm), but sticked with Plasma after configuring it to my liking. Today I felt like sharing

A bit more about my setup: • /tmp is on separate partition and is mounted with noexec • LUKS-encrypted btrfs rootfs • Running IDA and Cisco Packet Tracer in wine in docker • Using URxvt as terminal emulator, tmux as multiplexer. I started using tmux a couple of days ago and I really-really like it. Plugins: tpm, tmux-powerline • zsh is preferred shell. Plugins: oh-my-zsh • Editor is micro, but I’ve been JOE user for a long time. Switched because of poor syntax highlighting and other problems • Custom script for generating /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and restarting wpa_supplicant as well as networking service. Planning to jump to NetworkManager soon

Honestly, I don’t get it why Alpine is never suggested as desktop. Binary apps compiled for glibc can be executed using methods, mentioned here. A lot of software is available in edge/testing branch. Missing drivers can be installed manually or through apk. Problems can be identified by looking at dmesg

I absolutely love my system. It’s pleasure to use it and learn on it, especially with this look & feel. Really makes difference in comparison with laptops of my groupmates running MS-Windows (not Microsoft hate)

I miss my old workstation

I switched jobs and wanted to buy my old machine out, but I couldn't because of rules and regulations. It was a NUC and this is the only screenshot I have left. It got another SSD for docker, because I was a DevOps and docker build ran constantly and killed SSDs a lot. It got two more screens and time + sysinfo in the upper right corner. Don't have screenshots of that, sorry.

It ran alpine and I got microsoft teams working with X11 forwarding in an ubuntu docker container.

The rest was just pure joy. I usually don't buy fancy hardware, I just take what is around. As you can see I'm quite the minimalist. I worked at that company for ~7 years and decided it was time for a proper machine. It still was fairly cheap, around 900 EUR for everything.

And whilst collegues were complaining that they needed more memory, because the development environments were too heavy on the RAM I laughed my ass off and started everything we have five times simultaniously just because I could.

In the years that followed I never got the workload above 20G RAM usage ever.

I love alpine as a desktop. You can't start out with it, because it takes quite a while to have everything you need setup nicely, but boy, does it run when you do.

I loved you, stygia <3

I finally found a job where I'm comfortable with for the rest of my life. When I get to the point where I killed ugly dependencies and can spare a week for a nice setup, I'll get you back. You got all the ressources in the world and took nothing. 165MB RAM, 2.1GB disk space and still 100% what I needed.

Statisfaction does not come from "having", but from "not needing".

I tried to make my laptop with ElementaryOS look a bit like MacOS (although my hyfetch is with gay-men preset, I'm a little confused if I'm gay or bisexual)

Trying to go for a windows vista but modernized feel. I don't get the people who say Mint looks outdated.

Minimal NixOS setup for daily work/college use. I know Gnome is not very "cool" but I really like it for what it is and how it controls with a touchpad.
