Github Actions are down for everyone right now...it's probably my fault, i've been trying to get some new workflows working since yesterday :annoyed:

If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry.
Back to using X21 as my nostr client until I get my server back up.

kumaUI is available for testing. It is a minimalist desktop shell which will work with Niri and Sway (hyprland next). It is built on GPUI (a hardware accelerated UI framework written in Rust and used by Zed) and offers plenty of system widgets (more soon), an app launcher, background picker, a dock, and more.

9 hours later...all green, kumaUI integrated into kumaOS.


about to release kumaOS 44.4.0 which is a big release integrating Nostr signing directly into the OS, a new kumaUI package to replace noctalia, and more. I'll release a quick video when packages are finished building.
Not recommending it as a daily driver to anyone BUT, I have been using it as my only Linux distro for the past 2 months so it is very much ready.
Now to work on replacing tuigreeter for logins then one final release before fedora releases v45 so I can drop kumaOS 45.0.0 right alongside it.
toughest part of developing your own distro is probably creating ci workflows to build binaries between different components.
nostrich is a primal fork right?
new level of retardation unlocked...it turns out just doing things also means you can just make your own desktop shell...kuma-shell, written in rust and gpui. still needs a ton of work lol


turns out that sometimes when you build your own distro, you discover that you also want to build your own shell. yes, i'm f***ing retarded.
took two months to get here, but tomorrow I put my entire system into a nostr event 😂
[nostr]
enable = true
relays = [wss://relay.nip46.com]
[nostr-relay]
enable = false
you can just do things
