New screenshot thread, show us your screen here, the old one was getting too long. Please, let's try to keep this thread for screenshots only . Here's mine, NetBSD - HEAD with frankenwm in dualstack mode (top) and horizontal tiling (bottom). Applications shown, xterm , tre-command , macchina , so and sfm

Linking old thread here as well if someone wants to see through it : https://www.unitedbsd.com/d/3-what-does-your-bsd-look-like

I get my passion and I will never give it up. Day 1 in NetBSD. Still learning C.

Day 2 in NetBSD, everything is worked. Now, I am going to learn NetBSD

Not a lot has changed for me, except I'm back on STABLE (for now). I might go back to using a dark theme soon... not sure 🤷♂️ so is pretty cool.

pfr Are you trying to fool us? I can recognize macchina s status bars when I see them 😉

pin I still prefer ufetch , but I like the status bars in macchina . I just wish they had status bars for cpu usage and even network usage.

pin Are you trying to fool us? I can recognize macchinas status bars when I see them 😉 I really don't know what you guys are talking about here 😅 Anyway, just gave my Raspberry Pi box a massive reshape, transitioning from vtwm to ctwm

JuvenalUrbino I really don't know what you guys are talking about here 😅 Macchina 👍️ It now appears that my request to include a CPU% bar has been granted! Thanks to @pin who has been working with the dev on this. Thanks! JuvenalUrbino Which RPi do you have this on, 3 or 4? I've been wanting a small DeskPi/PiTop setup for a while, or any SBC really. How does it perform with web browsing and video playback etc?

pfr Thanks to @pin who has been working with the dev on this. More on general native NetBSD support, haven't done anything related to this new feature 😉

pfr Macchina 👍️ It now appears that my request to include a CPU% bar has been granted! Thanks to @pin who has been working with the dev on this. Thanks! cool, outta check it out; thanks @pin pfr Which RPi do you have this on, 3 or 4? Pi3, Model B. pfr How does it perform with web browsing... Pi3's performance is limited by its inherent resource restraints; good as home router/firewall, personal server (web, ftp, mail, whatever), displaying/manipulating documents, writing, as a retro gaming platform, for testing/development, as a remote shell....but web browsing can be very laggy unless you're using a text browser or a feather graphical one (dillo, netsurf) with javascript disabled. Taking this into account, NetBSD's performance is great even when compared with some notorious Linux distros I tested on it (Raspbian, Slackware, Void). Generally speaking, if you're goal is building a cheap, fan-less ARM desktop, my suggestion is to go for something like RockPro64 or NVIDIA Jetson TX1 pfr and video playback etc? Unlike other SoCs (e.g. again RockPro64 IIRC), as of today 3D acceleration is not supported on NetBSD on BCM2837. You can see on the neofetch screen on the shot it's using LLVMpipe renderer as fallback. That said, there is a a GPU-accelerated media player, called omxplayer (already packaged for pkgsrc multiomedia/omxplayer ), specifically designed for Raspberry Pi, which speaks directly to the hardware video decoder of the embedded Broadcom Videocore GPU and can be launched from wscons.

Mine is probably 1 or 2 years old already... but it's still looking nice and there's no reason I'm gonna change it.

Hi !
I've just installed NetBSD 10 Beta out of love and curiosity for NetBSD.It's blazing fast on my old laptop and I have no issues so far using common packages.

Thanks to the NetBSD Team for the beautiful gift !
Thanks to UnitedBSD team and members for always offering help and guidance.

Nothing special, I prefer fvwm or cwm since they come with with the OpenBSD base or core system i.e. not ports.

Versus the default OpenBSD fvwm environment :

sennler

My OpenBSD desktop, running cwm. xsetroot -solid black, xclock, xload, and xconsole make the environment a little more friendly (or, they would, if I knew how to pick decent colors and fonts).

The featured application is xterm, running neofetch, the venerable ed, and the ever useful dict dictionary querier. As shown, I used xpaint for the screenshot 🙂

NetBSD-9.3, cwm, nvmm/qemu running debian stable (I dunno why just because), luakit, xbattbar on a T420

CDE 2.5.1 (2022-10-01) on NetBSD/amd64 HEAD .
Now available on pkgsrc as wip/cde.

looks nice. I couldn't get into CDE myself, but it's got a great retro feel.

giriu

well done ! the wip repo is getting richer and richer :-)
I only used CDE once on Solaris 10 live dvd.

giriu I only used CDE once on Solaris 10 live dvd.

Solaris CDE was kinda different. I mean, CDE on UNIX/VMS means having a whole lot of consistently packed up Motif utilities and resources, as well as a desktop environment which is perfectly integrated with the features and the technologies of the system which it's running upon. CDE on Linux/BSD/Illumos today is basically a retro Motif interface with limited functionality and few but useful embedded apps.

There are, however, a number of Motif-based apps on pkgsrc which play very nicely (from a UI standpoint) with CDE, MWM and FVWM. Have a look at the 'Required By' section here:

https://netbsd.pkgs.org/9/netbsd-amd64/motif-2.3.8nb1.tgz.html

giriu Edit : nscde also dwells in wip for our beloved NetBSD.

Had a look at it, think it's missing a couple of dependencies, but I'll ask charlotte about that in due time if it's still in wip.

giriu

I was using FreeBSD and a pkg search informed about a modern CDE clone based on fvwm: nscde.

Edit : nscde also dwells in wip for our beloved NetBSD.

I used CDE on both VMS and Ultrix and don't really recall any other applications that were different from standard-issue CDE. I assume you are talking about particular system utilities primarily?

JuvenalUrbino

Sorry for not replying earlier.

MWS I assume you are talking about particular system utilities primarily?

Yeah, Solaris in particular. There's a lot you can do from the graphical interface using admin utilities and additional third-party applications used to be provided via sunfreeware or CDs. Also, the Sgi CDE version had some particular tweaks, like the graphical pager, and played well with the overwhelming amount of Motif software shipped with and/or designed for IRIX.
