Lilidog really is awesome! Here is a screenshot of the latest release [25.01.25], almost exactly as it appears upon installation. I changed only the wallpaper (to one of the many supplied wallpapers) and the theme (to one of the many supplied themes).
The developer [sleekmason, who is an actual stonemason in Arkansas] has developed a huge number of useful scripts that do such things as change (and modify) themes or set the autologin user.
Perhaps the best thing about Lilidog is its small, very friendly community. There are currently only 93 forum members. I recognize some of their usernames as also being on the EndeavourOS forums.
When I first arrived at Lilidog, I asked sleekmason whom he envisioned as the target audience for the distro. He replied he that he is developing Lilidog for the forum members rather than for any particular type of user. sleekmason is extremely receptive to suggestions for improvements. Indeed, every one of my suggestions has been implemented, and every bit of code I have written has been incorporated into the distro.
Since catppuccin is no longer available as of kde 6, I built it myself. Catppuccin Macchiato Color Palette , Beautiful Yaru Icons, Panel Colorizer Klassy Application Style for window borders
Done. Simple. Pretty neat

I can tell this is a great deb fork.
And what you wrote? That is really the beauty of Linux, and living, isn’t it?
I, too, since 2017, have been in, as you have, to this to a fledgling distro, independent, started by an infamous Irishman. After enough time passes it becomes an incredible thing, doesn’t it? Even a larger joint like Endeavour, the same.
nice! my suggestions ave been taken along the way, too
blows my mind. I recognize 3-4 from here on solus too
this is about as honest an answer as a creator who is an artist (a stone mason) could give. Doesn’t strive for a million bucks, doesn’t want to disappear. Is only there for the community. Could be around for another 10 yrs, could disappear in a month. the Linux community is nothing if not fascinating.
Thanks for sharing all that.
