Artix Linux tan

A humanization of Artix Linux! As niche as this might possibly be. I also have some extras down here, I tried some designs before deciding on this one specifically. I ALSO made some funny meme™ with Arch tan (or her unfinished design more specifically) and their relationship.

Her design is mostly inspired in the logo, having triangle shapes all around the body and clothes. She is also inspired in other os-tan like Windows XP tan and so on. I wanted to make her have a "old anime aesthetic" or something. idk

In the image we have some descriptions, for those who can't read them:

On Artix-tan's side:

Cant agree with Arch's indifference but she can only show her other alternatives exist.

Just as weeb as Arch but much more sttuborn.

Uses arch's repos and AUR because she admires her sister deep down.

On Arch-tan's side:

Eyebags from mantaining AUR with programs that don't have support.

Doesn't want to switch from systemd, thinks Artix is overreacting.

Arch like hair.

Kind of a nerd/weeb.

Programming socks.

Here I have some alt design for Artix:

This does not compute!

As an old-school website designer with self-taught HTML skills through Telnet and FTP clients, this makes my eye twitch.

My Reasons to switch to or stay on Linux desktop instead of Windows

Before switching to Linux (When using windows 10 pro N)

Boring windows with no customisation: When I was using windows, I saw my friend using Linux (debian). I felt that 'Linux is looking cool'. Also I liked how he customise his Linux desktop. Also, I like to see some hacking stuffs and doing stuffs with command line. Comparing to that my windows 10 looked flat and boring.

Windows/its famous application is not free: When I was using windows, i was unable to switch to linux because I don't wanted to lose microsoft office. But after an accidental full 'reset my pc', I lost the access to microsoft office. I don't want to pay to get ms office. Don't like browser like Edge and other bloats.

Unnecessary stuffs of Windows: I don't like the windows auto update without my permission (I also don't want to pause every updates). I don't like the 'blue screen error'

Low performance over time in not so great spec PC and high RAM usage: My windows 10 performance was very very poor after 2 years. It only got better after 'reset my pc' but again started messing after months and adding some extra softwars over time. Also, I don't know why it is taking so much Ram (I initially used 4 GB ram and then added another 4GB ram). after it becomes 8 gb ram, the performance was better. but again got slower over time, crashes, hanging etc.,

Fear of Security vulnerability and the abstraction of windows: I always cautious about downloading unnecessary things. but still sometimes things gonna happen in the initial days. Always doubted the presence of malware in windows. After reset pc, it was working fine. but still not satisfied with windows for its security (As it always feels like fully abstracted os).

Complexity of windows in extra things: As long as using normal stuffs it is simple. But when going into control panel, changing environment variables, and several other things, etc,. I didn't have any idea of what I was doing.

The above reasons make me to try Linux. So, I started to try ubuntu 20.04.

Initial Impression of Linux and Easy to use: The Live usb feature of linux impressed me a lot. Easy installation of linux. The gnome DE was looking very good and also simple. Also the GUI settings are simple and easy to understand in ubuntu. As expected, I can do several customization and reading ubuntu's beginner command line tutorials etc., Surprisingly I didn't feel any complication at all. Infact everything felt simpler than windows. Also I felt that the utility apps or system apps of Linux is much better than windows in every aspect. Every Linux distros default pdf viewer >>> bloaty adobe acrobat pdf reader. Default text editor of linux >>> milky white notepad. etc.,

Linux is free and also its ecosystem application: Because Linux is free and open-source, it created an ecosystem for all the free and open-source apps. I automatically find all the fantastic free and powerful featured apps like Libreoffice, gimp, krita, inkscape, blender, kdenlive video editor, obs and several others (Some I already started to know when using windows at the later stage but the feel is different when using it in Linux). And there are no forceful apps like edge. I don't have to go for any pirated things when I already have a fully featured great open-source ecosystem for anything. I can also use apps vlc in linux (that is enough for all the media content for me).

Everything going fine: It just ping me that there are updates with all the package names and its details. It won't force me. I can start update only when I wish. Also the downloading and installation of updates are very quicker. This is such a relief when thinking about windows. Also there are no blue screen errors! I even started to have an idea of how it works inside (like one step deeper).

Very good performance in not so great spec and low RAM usage: The performance is very stable and good even after several months. The rendering in blender is like 20% to 25% faster compared to windows. Every app is performing good and stable in linux. felt like 8GB RAM is very sufficient for all my stuffs!

Security awareness: After I started using linux, I automatically started noticing what I am doing with my computer. started to know about why using this command to install or anything. Whenever installing anything or doing anything weird, I automatically started doing research about that. Came to know about firewall. Also came to realise that our system is not as secure as we think and we have to very careful about it.

Exploring Linux and it simplicity: The existing GUI part of linux is very simple and easy to use. But After using linux for some time, I felt comfortable with commands than GUI. It felt faster and also knowing what exactly is happening under the hood. It is less abstracted! and came to know about several things like IRC.

After using Linux for some time (an year), The things I felt:

I 100% missed games (especially cracked version of games like far cry 3, call of duty: modern warfare older version, nfs hotpursuit 2010 are no more playable in linux). I have to pay in steam to play those which i don't like. But still some free supported games are good in Linux. But I don't like much (as I am not a big gamer). The microsoft store has lot more good free games than Linux supported free games.

microsoft office: Currently I am familiar with Libre office, so no more missing MS office. But the problem is everyone uses ms office. and when I open some docs in Libreoffice which was created by ms office, then it started messing some things slightly.

Missing font: I missed the fonts of windows 10. Eventhough we can install preprietary microsoft fonts in Linux. it still misses some important fonts. Also the ubuntu's default font felt not so good after months. When I look into windows font, it looks great. (Initially I was liking ubuntu desktop font than the windows due to new changes, but when the time goes the windows desktop font is better)

browsers like firefox and chrome is taking some time for the first time launch after the reboot.

So, I switched back to windows by reinstalling (using dual boot with linux):

Some positives: After swictching to windows the only thing felt good is seeing it in my PC again after a long time with fresh installation. It looked polished. The icons looks premium. Edge, google chrome launches very fast in the first time launch at the cost of eating so much RAM. The default fonts of windows looks so premium compared to ubuntu 20.04

Negatives again and no need for windows: All the negatives I listed Initially comes back again with very much awareness since i got familiar with linux. Now I can clearly see the difference of how mess it is! especially interms of RAM usage, simplicity! Felt that there is no reason to continue windows when everything worked perfectly and fluently in Linux. The positives of Linux is very much than the positives of windows.

Not so good development in Windows: The working with gcc, git and other software development things are very much easier to setup in Linux than the windows. Felt like app installation is much easier, faster and simpler in Linux than the windows.

Started to completely switch to linux but also need to overcome negatives of ubuntu 20.04. Which leads to Distro hopping.

I switched to Linux mint: Almost all the negatives of ubuntu is gone. The utilities, default system apps, simplicity, Faster and efficiency of everything is even so great in Linux mint than ubuntu 20.04. The fonts are very good like windows. But the only problem is after some months, the cinnamon DE looks bored and little bit old fashioned. Every other thing is great.

I switched back to ubuntu but ubuntu 22.04. This version is very good than ubuntu 20.04 and I was satisfied with new gnome DE. but still I want change because of somethings. I want to try debian (as that was the one I saw my cool friend was using back then in college).

I switched to debian: Everything went smooth. now my distro is not handled by any company like canonical. I learned a lot while using debian. I was so proud of debian and myself. But after 2 months, I felt that I don't like gnome 3 (why not gnome 4 like ubuntu 22.04). It felt outdated. Also as usual it uses only very stable applications in the repository which is also outdated. Now the disadvantages of ubuntu 20.04 and linux mint is happening in debian.

I tried to swich to several lite distro for like 2 to 3 days: But don't like the DE (desktop environment) because too old fashioned. I couldn't find anything that fully satisfy me. So I agian tried to switch between linux mint, ubuntu 22.04. Until I find the KDE Plasma.

The last distro I switched is Kubuntu 22.04. It felt like having a good water after a long thrist. It satisfied all my requirement and even have its own eco-system of KDE apps which is fantastic. The default font is very good, the performance of apps are very good. The default DE font is very good. The system apps and utilities are very good. The customisation is fantastic at its peak. The features are fantastic! The default apps like text editor, pdf readers, File manager, settings, music player (Elisa) etc,. are the best of all. The options I have here are excellent. It is almost an year with kubuntu. No distro hopping anymore for me. Fully satisfied with Kubuntu (mainly because of KDE plasma DE). I am not a 100% command line user.

This gives an end card to windows. I don't even have it in my PC. I have windows 11 in my company working PC and that is for work only and I don't like windown 11 there. Only games is the positivity in windows.

Starting Production🎉🥂

ZippOS is an alternate operating system for stand alone “spacial computing” devices. The goal of this project is to provide end users, who at their own discression, void their warranties to replace pre-packaged software bundled with their hardware. As the lead developer of ZippOS, and as an end user of a “spacial computer”, I am displeased with the current operating software, and the decisions of parent companies that distribute these products are inheriently unstable, brown-nosing share holders and consumers, and completely unaligned with the end users. As these devices are marketed as computers, I want to provide software for said computers as a choice for the end-users who feel the same as I do.

ZippOS will be a lighter(get it?), faster booting operating system built from scratch with Rust-Lang and some ARM/RISC-V assembly code to replace both the BIOS (ZIOS) and the operating system. The operating system’s goal is to have the same user functionality and multimedia multi-instancing in a mixed reality setting, citing BeOS/HaikuOS as inspiration. This operating system will have security and graceful degradation as the main focus for user safety because the main enemy for ZippOS is the companies who made the stock software it replaces on the end-user’s spacial computer. Users can also enjoy various stimulating options for navigating the software (i.e. “rolodex” style hub menus, table-top program/application storefront, “grabbing” and “throwing” programs/screens to be cast/mirrored to and from realspace and cyberspace, etc). ZippOS is a project software operating system under development, and currently has no plans to publicly publish to the open net, nor are there any current plans to open-source the software.

https://zd.net/3sbtylp - 🚨 Quishing, a new form of phishing using QR codes, is the latest cybercrime trend. QR codes, once considered innocuous, are now being weaponized in phishing attacks, misleading users into revealing sensitive information or installing malware. With QR codes ubiquitous in everyday life, cybercriminals exploit the general trust people have in them. #Quishing #CybersecurityAwareness 📱 Mobile phones are particularly vulnerable to quishing attacks. Unlike desktops, many mobile operating systems lack robust phishing protection, making them easy targets. Common quishing tactics involve criminals sending QR codes via email, often under the guise of urgent account verification requests. #MobileSecurity #PhishingThreats 🛡️ To safeguard against quishing, exercise caution with QR codes, especially from unknown sources. Verify the legitimacy of the sender before scanning any QR code in emails, and avoid scanning random QR codes encountered in public spaces. Legitimate companies rarely use QR codes for account verification. #CyberSafetyTips #ProtectYourData 📵 Just like with suspicious SMS messages, if you're unsure about a QR code's source, it's safest not to scan it. Curiosity can lead to unintended consequences when it comes to quishing, so always prioritize security over convenience.
