Discussion Update on Rules and Quality Control
Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.
The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.
Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.
With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Screenshot [KDE] Windows 7 Frutiger Aero
AeroThemePlasma with some modifications:
- Themed and renamed Konsole to resemble the Windows 7 command prompt
- Linux Explorer is a recreation of the Windows 7 Explorer as seen on the screenshot
- Installed a plymouth theme that resembles the Windows 7 startup animations
- Geckium + Aero UserChrome for Firefox
- Modified fastfetch config to resemble the output of a Windows 7 install
Be advised, many distributions have now replaced SDDM with PLM. Meaning that you need to reinstall it again in order to utilize AeroThemePlasma's SDDM theme.

Screenshot [Xfce] Night flight over a city that doesn't exist – now running natively on Linux
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Last week I posted a realtime flight through an endless procedural megacity as a Windows screensaver. A few of you asked for Linux, so here it is: a native build, no Wine.
Download (about 320 kb): https://flashview.net/screensaver/?lang=en (the Linux demo is the button below the Windows one)
What it is:
Street canyons, loops, barrel rolls, knife-edge along the facades, a climb through the storm clouds and a dive back down into the neon. Lightning strikes the towers and the glitches land on the beat.
Everything is generated at runtime: city, lights, flight path and music. No models, no samples. The soundtrack comes from a small softsynth running in real time.
Linux details:
- single ~320 KB x86-64 binary, tar.gz, no install, just ./flashview-city-flight
- X11/GLX, runs on Wayland via XWayland
- needs glibc 2.34+, libX11, libGL (OpenGL 4.5+)
- music through ALSA (works under PulseAudio/PipeWire); if libasound is missing it just runs silent
- no network access, no telemetry
Fly it yourself: grab the mouse and take the stick. Left/right turns at the next crossing, up climbs into a loop, down dives. Wheel = speed, R = rain, M = music, ESC = quit.
Tested on Linux Mint (Cinnamon, X11). Should run on any X11 or XWayland session.
On Linux it's a standalone demo for now, not yet an xscreensaver hack. That's next on the list.
It scales down well: smooth on an Intel N150 iGPU, and it looks great on a proper GPU.
+ **Distro**: Linux Mint 22.3 "Zena" (Cinnamon, X11)
+ **Theme**: Mint-Y-Aqua (stock)
+ **Icon Theme**: Mint-Y-Aqua (stock)
+ **Fonts**: Ubuntu (stock)
+ **Wallpaper**: none, the city is the wallpaper
+ **Other**: [FlashView City Flight](https://flashview.net/screensaver/?lang=en) – realtime procedural night flight, native Linux build (the Linux demo is the button below the Windows one)
