    #linux #desktop #shimeji #oneko #xpenguins #xsnow

    GANG! I found something cool!!

    So, these work,

    apt-get install oneko xpenguins xsnow

    xpenguins and xsnow have some bugs in relation to DEs heavily leaning on compositor. e.g. KDE/Plasma, penguins don't land on the window correctly.

    but, in my continuing adventures to find desktop effects/pets, i found something called Shimeji, as in

    flatpak install com.pixelomer.ShijimaQt

    which lets you add a BUNCH more!

    as always, YMMV.

  10. There are a few things that seem to happen regularly in my life that bring me #joy and warm #FuzzyFeelings

    One is the #Santa hat on the #VLC logo each year.

    Another is seeing my #screenshots through the years and seeing #XSnow running on my monitors in #December

    Right now it's me changing my #wallpapers to something #summery since the #SeasonalDepression is leaving my body since it's springtime where I am (or at least it feels like it)

    sudo dnf install xsnow

  17. Pour les nostalgiques de #Xsnow, il y a des équivalents si vous êtes sous #Wayland, par exemple Snowy¹ pour #GNOME.

    ¹ extensions.gnome.org/extension

  20. It's Advent so that means xsnow on my desktop and Christmas songs on the media player.

    Got a good selection of Xmas brass this year from Grimethorpe and Black Dyke.

  25. CW: Unix desktop screenshots ftw

    Winter desktop. Just because. Workdays laptop. #pop_os 22.04, #GNOME desktop. GNOME web browser and #bandcamp playback. And two terminals running #neofetch and #vim (with #spacevim installed) editing python code. Ah, and of course #xsnow in vintage settings...

  29. @derbadian @gmate8 FWIW there is supposedly a legit Windows version (linked from the #xsnow Wikipedia article: janswaal.home.xs4all.nl/WinSno ).

  31. CW: Linux desktop nerdery

    Realized that, if I'm no longer using a tiling WM, I can run #xsnow again. Pictured: #windowmaker with a stock #Debian theme.

    It's fun. The 3½-year-old thinks it's great. I think it's relaxing to see the snowflakes accumulate and gust about in the wind. And I don't need to worry about burning too much RAM or CPU on it, because this isn't a Pentium 2 (unlike the last system I ran it on).

  33. Since it's now Christmas time, here is my annual screenshot with #xsnow 1.41 (more details in the picture's description)

  34. Linux desktop, winter edition. #kde on #kubuntu 21.10. #xsnow , #falkon browser with the old xsnow web page. #elisa player with some random late-that-year music. Oh well.

  36. (An Nachmittagen wie diesen starte ich immer mal wieder alte Linux-ISOs mit #fvwm und #xsnow, um Erinnerungen an damals nachzuhängen - und mir wieder mal zu verdeutlichen, dass technologischen Nostalgie in Zeiten anderer Probleme und Herausforderungen verdammt gefährlich ist...)

  38. It's this time of the year again. I'd like to install #xsnow, recognize it has been removed from #OpenBSD ports years ago, search and compile the sources. 🎄 ❄️ 🎅

    For whatever reason I cannot keep sources or a binary for a year 😂

  40. There's a time to work and a time to play and a time to install #xsnow and get lost in memories for a while...
