I filmed a quick video to show it in action. I want to know if you all know any software like this. I’m currently using Gnome with paperwm. I want to switch it up though. I could use eDEX but i figured I’d ask if any other unique applications or even better desktop environments were out there. No not KDE (even though I’m a fangirl), niri, hyprland, xfce or any other common used one. Something super unique
Wow, that looks amazing! How does running a browser like Firefox work on this? Just runs a window regularly?
EDIT: never mind, just noticed that eDEX is not maintained since 2021 :(
There seem to be several maintained forks:
https://github.com/andreas-hartmann/xdex-ui
https://github.com/theelderemo/eDEX-UI-security-patched
https://github.com/matu6968/edex-ui
I think there’s one based off of the Star Trek computer system lcars.
I mean…if you just want a text-based working environment, there are plenty, but nothing as a full DE that I’m aware for a number of reasons.
I think VTM is the one that is most like what you posted, but there are also other terminal environments that act similar to eDEX, but I would lump more in the IDE category.
Nothing all self contained like that but you can replicate it with most tiling window managers, a few terminal anpps, and some configurations.
I would love to see something like this as well.
