I’ve been using Source Mage for about a year now! It’s a source-based distro like Gentoo. It’s magic themed, so instead of repositories we have grimoires, and instead of packages we have spells :) my main reason for using it is because I tried it out a few years ago and the magic themed intrigued me. Eventually I decided to write some of my own spells (some important programs were missing that I wanted) I found them a lot easier to parse than gentoos ebuilds personally. But after I’d been sending PRs for a few months, I got added to the team as an official maintainer!

it’s a really fun distro to use, if not a bit hard to get up-and-running (only tarball-based install, we used to have ISOs but they’re out of date for now) I’ve put a lot of work into getting it how i like it, i enjoy the tinkering aspect of it :) its fun

I love cinnamon a lot

For me at least, waynergy doesn’t solve my issues, as I host my kb/m on Linux and share with a Windows PC (no builds for windows, and I can’t get it to work with barrier for some reason) I ended up just buying a USB switch which works, but it’s way slower … but I love hyprland so it’s a net gain I guess

Very true! Well hey those are still some great ideas - would be really nice to see something like that exist for sure. Keep us updated on the project! Always love seeing new ruby stuff

A ruby-written window manager would be too cool, I’d check it out! Although unfortunately I’ve switched to Wayland months ago and I know Wayland is a lot harder to write for… ah well :)

Looks awesome, I love Ruby!! For even more ruby you could swap bspwm with subtle, whose config file is written in ruby :) (subtle itself isn’t though sadly)

To anyone seeing this - don’t read the comments… I’ve lost brain cells. It’s not even an especially long article and you can tell 99% of the people commenting only read the headline lol

I’ll eat my hat if I see anyone else here using this hehe
