    I made a really cozy and usability-focused setup like 10 years ago, and since I made it with NixOS+home-manager I’m just carrying it over with me. It is going strong after three device swaps, two moves to a new country, and meeting a partner, with some minor changes (i3 -> sway, Nord theme -> custom base16-based, pulseaudio -> pipewire, etc)

    A relationship that forces you to use a GUI when you already live in CLI is a textbook example of a toxic relationship.

    I don’t get it. Is it saying that when you’re single you have time to tweak and fiddle your desktop, when you’re in a relationship, you don’t and just use the default?

        huh. i have the left monitor desktop customized to my liking, my wife has the right one customized to her liking. we have shortcuts on each screen to make it the primary monitor depending on who’s using it.

        but thats just a single open app in the top frame? btop i believe

        edit – oop after i zoomed in so i could see the gaps i realise its 3 apps. btop, htop (redundant) and yazi or ranger or superfile.

        woudlnt the real implication be that the top panel is using a window manager and the bottom one is using a mint alternative?

            if im not mistaken the top one is just archcraft (perhaps i3) default install, i dont see any customization.

            regardless im struggling to grasp what the meme is trying to convey. :)

              I think the meme is a cliche of “haha you are in a relationship so your partner takes up all your time and you don’t have any time for your hobbies”. Which sounds like a pretty toxic relationship tbh
