  • ly

    display manager with console UI (by brunorro)

  • The only thing that I still have to compile on my own was ly (this fork theorically works out of the box with runit https://github.com/brunorro/ly). I don't know how to package it because it relies on git submodules. If anyone could give me some pointers about that kind of stuff on xbps-source I'll try to pack it (AUR recipes are more chaotic and anarchic but for this kind of stuff that is good)

  • tuigreet

    Graphical console greeter for greetd

  • Many PRs have been opened to add Ly to the repos, they've all been rejected because of the submodule thing and because it's had some severe technical issues. I really don't understand this subreddit's obsession with that specific greeter. If you want something in the repos that provides an almost identical interface, use greetd + tuigreet.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • holoiso

    Discontinued SteamOS 3 (Holo) archiso configuration

  • Hey, then, in that case, if you want to play and (have|can spare some cash on) a hard drive just for it, give Holoiso a try. It will save quite a lot of time if we are talking about gaming :) It's got also flatpak apps and it was designed as a console OS, so in my opinion it is the most stable arch-based linux system I've ever used :D
