#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.

Is there an alternative for #xsnow for #KDE #Plasma on #Wayland?

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)

How come nobody told me that there is a new version of #xsnow, now with stars and birds, elks and moose?!!!

sudo dnf install xsnow

In December, I usually share an #OpenBSD screenshot showing #xsnow

This year, I am showing a screenshot (made with grim) of #Wayland on OpenBSD. It shows #sway, foot as terminal, mpv and Firefox (although no idea if native or with XWayland). Setup on -current was simple and runs stable so far. Kudos to @matthieu and all other devs involved!

I'll stick with X for now since the WL tools miss the usual security mitigations like pledge and unveil.

@schalken It’s too bad #xsnow was moved to the #OpenBSD ports attic, it still works fine!

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

@danrar @Em0nM4stodon @ChrisPirillo Ah.... and let's not forget #xsnow!

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.

#xsnow #advent #brass

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

@derbadian my favorite is #xsnow on my desktop!

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.

Jouluinen Linux - Xsnow - näytölle lunta ja joulupukki! :theoriginalsanta:

Xsnow -asetuksista voi lisätä mm. hirviä, poroja, puita, kuun, tähdenlennot ja lintuja. Värejä voi muuttaa. Ohjelmalla voi tehdä myös ruudunsäästäjän.

Latasin ohjelman valmistajan sivulta.

(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...)
