I think it was started mainly to have a working example of the cool GTK installer they created (Jade), I wonder what is its main selling point as a distro now though
I wonder what is its main selling point as a distro now though
I wanted to experience Arch and wanted something simple and quick (I was busy those days, so DIY Arch wasn't a choice). I tried EndeavourOS, but it wasn't simple: they made many configurations to the system, which ruined the vanilla experience of all the WMs and DEs. I started looking for alternatives, and I found Crystal to be attractive and well-maintained, so I went for it. I think its selling point is being as simple, friendly, and vanilla as possible.
I am not really into shells, so my experience is very novice when it comes to shell scripting, but I'll let you know that I went from bash to zsh, and then I also tried fish but went back to zsh because I felt that it was superior. Generally I find zsh to be little easier than Bash, but bash isn't bad in itself too. I disliked having to learn new syntax for basic shell scripting for fish the most I think.

Ohh. That is really pretty. How did you achieve the floating bottom bar?

Thank you.
If you edit the bottom bar, under more options you can enable "Floating panel" to achieve this effect.

Nice wallpaper! Could you share a link for it?
myxi@feddit.nl · 4 pts · 3y
Of course! This is the original one. I used Photopea for it to meet my mood.

Oh, good point! Endeavor is custom to certain extent so I guess this fits the "GUI Arch" spot pretty well

I love everything I see here. Wallpaper, blur, the bg. How do you like zsh? Been on fish now for a year or so and have been curious of zsh
