a linux realization, oxygen developments
Jun. 8th, 2026 10:03 pmi have come to realize the only good Linux distros are community ones. the ones run by corporations all suck for various reasons. Bazzite runs a web server 24/7 with documentation you can't turn off that is just a mirror of what's already available on their site (and is immutable. ugggghhhhh i hate immutable OSes. i should NOT have installed this), Ubuntu puts ads in various parts of the OS, SteamOS, oh man, don't get me started on SteamOS. they're all pretty good, but i, from now on, am probably going to try my best not to use any corporate OSes. i'll stick to Arch and Debian. all the communities are amazing.
i rechecked the status of the KDE Oxygen remake, and i found out that:
I. there is a new Oxygen Dark theme, and it looks amazing!
II. they're almost done!
III. you can just drag and drop Plasma Look-and-Feel folders into your own install and they work without needing to compile them!
IV. i dunno if i ever mentioned this, but my taskbar theme got fucked up at some point, but dragging in the bleeding-edge version of Oxygen makes it look normal again!
V. the new Oxygen Dark color scheme relies heavily on the accent color picker, and it looks awesome! (Dolphin file browser in RGB)
so, today was a great day for my love of skeuomorphic frutiger aero UI stuffs. my computer looks really good now!
