Salem (The Witch City Linux Desktop Environment) is an Arch-based offering, and the result of countless of hours of coding and testing. The project is currently in its 9th year of life. Its development is a copulation of a unique, spiritual, creative approach that I designed, and the ideas presented by William Kenower in his 2017 book, Fearless Writing, which I highly recommend indulging.
The Proctor's Ledge branch will be released soon, timely enough for the Halloween season.
Features
- No need for xinitrc files or XDG autostarting. Salem tackles session startup with (1) central, parallel configuration file, named "sessionrc."
- The Montgomery Logue (processing Manifest) is produced for each session. You know exactly what happened during startup, and when it occurred.
- Runs from the console (tty1), or any display manager (LightDM, SDDM, GDM, Slim, LXDM, XDM, etc).
- Point-n-click sessions from the unique XDM login configuration, designed specifically for Witch City Linux.
- The wcl-xinit scripture--a clean, simple, and structured alternative to the standard startx script.
- Handles the entire xsession startup on its own, completely written from scratch. Once you sign in, WCL/Salem does the rest.
- Bewitch-On-Demand or at session login/startup.
- The wcl-salem_whisperer scripture provides a means to download, create, and install the current Witch City Whisperer playlist from the command line (wcl -w), or play an existing playlist (-w/p). In addition, you can download the latest Salem release (wcl +w).
- The new wcl-salem_vd scripture clones, verifies, builds, and installs yt-dlp, the popular github program from the wcl command line.
- Coded completely in Bash.
- Supernatural performance.
- Evil By Design.
