Hello, hello!

At the behest of a friend, I tried out Omarchy (bear with me) and found it to be a perfectly serviceable custom arch install with hyprland (bear with me) and others configured relatively sanely out of the box. What really sold me on it was how easy it was to “custom brand” my laptop with our business name & logo – I’m a sucker for that kind of thing.

After recent, uh… Revelations, I no longer wish to be a bump in Omarchy & hyprland’s user numbers. I have plans on where to go next and what WM(s) I’ll be trying (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed + Sway), but will gladly accept recommendations on other projects I may or may not have thought about. What I’m really looking for, though, is how to do the branding. My personal brand and logo were on login, lock screen, and the screensaver, all of which I greatly enjoyed.

So how might I best accomplish that? Thanks in advance.

    create some dotfiles, ansible playbooks and go nuts with it.

    my current setup is arch+niri. but I have used hyprland and sway/swayfx.

    here are my dotfiles

    https://codeberg.org/Disco-Robot/dotfiles

    I ought to update them though, so some things might brake if you intend to adapt them.

    but yeah I would recommended you to check unixporn and see any desktop environment or windown manager that fits your fancy (if you wanna deploy fleets in your company don’t go full hackerman take into account usability).

    Then grab the dotfiles if avaible RTFM and try to create your configs, sync with git and create a playbook that clones the repo, installs the packages and symlinks configs into .config.

    if you are new I think you can’t go wrong with KDE and Gnome and it’s extension suite, else if you prefer WMs like hyprland, you have hyprland itself, niri which I love aswell and heard great things about magoWM although seems a bit hard to configure.

    with that base the rest is lego in my setup I use fuzzel as the run menu but you also have rofi or ulauncher if it’s still around, for the bar I use waybar, the powermenu I use a fork of wlogout … you get it :).
