From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Feed five bucks into deepseek and have it spit out functional dotfiles for branding where you want it.
Their free documentations on topics of interest were... spotty, to the point i added them to my personal AI blocklist.
Whomst is the “they” in this reply? Did you mean to reply to me?
Hello, TrollAccount69. 🙂
I could let AI think for me, or I could learn how to manage in on my own.
If you seriously want to employ AI effectively, I find knowing how to do what you're asking it to do is the best way to get good results. Otherwise... Who knows what's going to come out the other end!
I like to handle my system myself. Managing my install is fun for me. I'm just looking for general advice, not for someone to do it all for me.
If you want scrollwork you use a scroll saw. If you want molding you use a router table.
If you want to make some other distro look like Omarchy you use an llm.
The distro of which youre trying to duplicate the setup you had is very ai forward. If youre trying to do something the omarchy way that would be using ai.
I'm not trying to mimic how Omarchy looks. I am looking to replicate a very specific end result not "turn another distro into Omarchy."
There is one specific part of what Omarchy does that I am asking about: how to achieve the custom branding of certain aspects of the OS. Nothing else. I don't care if the path to the end result is the "Omarchy way" or not, I'm trying to see what avenues exist to achieve that same end result. Linux has many ways to do the same thing.
I don't need an LLM for that. I don't want to use an LLM to try and achieve it. And I don't have to. That's the beauty of choice. I won't be replying to you past this point, as there's no merit here. Thanks for your engagement, have a nice night, day, or whatever time it is wherever you are!
Were you able to achieve your desired results?
I think OP's brain is functional, and insinuating it is kinda insulting.
It would have been crazy if I had done that. Did you reply to the correct comment?
