For daemons, its simply symlinking the services in the 'sv' folder to the var/services, it should be running after that.

Not sure how compatibility with systemd apps work on other inits but for what I know the packages that are shipped focus on specifically the init system that you are running (from whatever repo you use to install on the distro, for example artix has other inits besides runit).

Edit: Also you have the 'sv' command on runit that acts exactly like systemctl. You can stop, start and all that stuff

GNU Guix, definitely going to check out! I think also most of the packages I have are foss, for non-foss I have flatpak anyway 🤔👍

Are there any plans on adding features that enable easier interaction with other federated platforms like mastodon and peertube (for example being able to comment/interact with peertube videos and mastodon posts)?

Bringing more interactivity between fediverses would be very cool, maybe in the future we can have more direct interaction as well hopefully

We really need Foss software for printers, specially for mainstream machines so that majority can afford a less scamy product.

I would recommend trying out first sway just because the configuration is very straightforward and you easily find on the internet configuration files of other people, most of the setup is already done for you out of the box as well.

After getting used to sway I would then recommend moving into WMs that require more tinkering, like hyperland you mention on the post.

Also if you ended up removing animations and don't really care that much, you might want to try other projects that have different focuses such as the minimalism of dwl or the different approach of tilling with tags with river (it all ends up on preference after getting used to this kinda of graphical servers)

Edit: FYI, most of the ricing (aesthetics) tends to come from the status bar you choose, the colors you choose to configure on files and the background image (I would say background img being the most important cause everything is built around it (colors, themeing, etc) )

Like some have mentioned, if you want to try different distros setup a VM (I would recommend KVM for better performance, but virtualbox is easier for beginners in VMing) with the iso of the distro you want to test out.

Like this you can keep a functional system without the hassle of having to setup on baremetal just for testing and having to go back again if doesn't pay-out.

Also would suggest messing around with more tech-savy setups like debian and fedora (specially minimal ones) if you want to delve deeper into the Linux nerdiness.

The egg is almost as big as the kiwi itself 😳

This blog should help you with the installation and how to use, also if you need more in depth info there is this guide as well

Try installing it with nix

You could try fedora sway or gnome spins
