collapseos VS docklike-plugin

Something like this is probably a lot more realistic than (as fast) "integrated circuits at home" : http://collapseos.org/

I know the point of it isn't to run on new hardware, but this would be a way to learn it on a stable platform without having to worry about dealing with constant problems from old hardware before trying to implement it on said.

There is something called Collapse OS I read about here on HN:

http://collapseos.org/

I myself am a collector of old devices, having raised three kids plus being a web dev. Hate throwing them away too I was just think about this today could I extract the CPUs or RAM or something to reuse rather than destory for the metals. I'd like to learn more hardware but no time.

Some hope for Colapse OS [1] perhaps?

Here is a quick guide to the science for those with the brain worms:

Maybe start with sufficient support for a simple OS that allows you to edit and compile programs. Something like FreeDOS or CollapseOs. Once you have that working you can extend it.

During collapse we'll all be using Dusk OS and post collapse we'll be using cobbled together rugged computers running on Collapse OS. I imagine at that point we can probably put the sub name to a vote. Maybe "r/ordinarylife".

Not Linux....but you could just install Kolibri OS for a very light desktop or consider CollapseOS and DuskOS....think Dusk should run bare metal on now and won't be too bloated, but there's always CollapseOS if you prefer to keep things light

As the other person said, Docklike and Plank (in the Software center) are readily available.

Just learned of this, to amend my other comment: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

I think the docklike plugin behaves like you want

I am novice nixos user and I didn't really write any of nix expressions yet. I would like to have Xfce's docklike taskbar plugin (github link), so I would greatly appreciate if somebody could make one nix expression for me so I could build it? I also hope it's not too hard, but I am too sick and tired atm to comperhend documentation regarding it.

Because of default xfce window task manager sometimes picks icons from .desktop files sometimes picks from window icons. I recommend xfce4-docklike-plugin

It is doable with this plugin. Install via ppa way https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

A couple of distros now bundle the very nifty "docklike" task switcher, which is rather snazzy and integrates well: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin

The final piece was the docklike-plugin you mentioned. This was the last straw. I attempted to follow the instructions found here: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin
