Fyi you can add as many as you want to your favourites. And even without that, I found scrolling through with the alphabetical sidebar to be super fast. Definitely not for everyone tho

All I want on this Earth is a FOSS alternative to Niagara launcher. I love a simple icon/list launcher but Niagaras permission requirements are unsettling. Kvaesitso is great, and easily the most polished FOSS launcher I’ve used, but just doesn’t quite hit that mark for me. The closest I’ve found is Plasma Mobile, but I don’t feel like setting up halium just for a launcher.

Succumb to your temptations… skip dual booting and vms… nuke your Windows partition with Gentoo… you know you want to

Sounds like you’re going in a good direction. Again I’ve personally never put anything like this together, I’d be interested to see what you come up with

Yes that was my main concern too. I suppose if you wanted to really go for it, you could also make cutouts for fans and cut some channels for airflow, but in the end aluminum panels with maybe some rubber standoffs for mounting may just be the safer option. And I suppose thubscrews for securing boards would make them easily removable

My mind for mounting personally goes to foam with cutouts (making sure the foam is of an antistatic variety). This would provide a snug fit for different hardware in their assigned spaces, plus easy removal/rearrangment, and in-built shock absorption in case of drops etc. Channels could be cut in the foam to allow different connections and route them where you need.

Now, I can’t say I’ve ever built a project like this so this may not work for your needs.

Hey, it looks clean and functional. Just keep taking it one step at a time, and learn as much as you can.

Oh? Never heard of it, just use neofetch cause it’s the first one I’ve found. What makes it superior?

No offense taken, to each their own. I’ve tried plank a few times, I always find it lacking in options and end up coming back to latte. I agree latte can have stability issues, but I disabled animations and transparency and it’s incredibly snappy so far. And to be fair, I’ve never commited to learning planks ins and outs so maybe someday I’ll give it a more serious try and find I like it. I do appreciate your input though.
