EndeavourOS Welcome App Is Not Welcoming... šŸ’”

Is it just maybe possible Mr. @anon25096638 is trolling the forum a little and stealing us time we could invest better?

Personally, I enjoy the Welcome—it welcomes us with helpful things instead of glitz and pomp and unneeded well-wishing. If you want a more ā€œwelcomingā€ personal welcome, it’s easy to make your own splash screen and autostart it. ’Nuf said.

Also under plasma appearance settings there’s a splash screen setting as well for when you log into plasma which is a lot easier to est up than something like fbsplash or plymouth.

For some microsoft windows comparisons…

fbsplash or plymouth are like the windows boot splash

and the plasma splash screen is like the windows welcome screen that comes up after you log in to windows.

there’s also the display manager which is your login screen; that too can be configured.

I don’t think ANY of us were taking it seriously.

Not in Welcome, but for the terminal you can install Fortune, then you can call up no greetings, but quotes as often as you want.

If this is your only problem you are a very lucky guy. :rofl:

Many people on Earth would like to exchange their problems with your problem.

Is the VERY best reason to be using Linux in the first place…We all want to do things ā€œour own wayā€ & expand our minds with ways to make that happen. Imagine the pride you would feel with creating your own splash screen for Welcome… then you WON’T be lame AT ALL.

I really want the developers to focus on continuing to make EndeavourOS an awesome distro. I can create eye-candy for myself (And as everyone knows, eye-candy is a HIGHLY individualistic expression.)

I can point to ways to make it happen, but you need to do the reading/research yourself.

Just for starters… I would create a startup script that displays a splash screen then calls the Welcome app…

Scripts are ā€œsimpleā€ but powerful.

And just for starters…

EndeavourOS was a terminal centric distro, now it morphs to a wallpaper centric distro.

If you use KDE, look at this. And remember, the first step to being good at something is to suck at it :smiley:

This thread seems to have run its course. Troll or not, other than silly responses, what’s the point? Perhaps close this and be done with it?
