Hadmean is a desktop environment designed for minimalism and low resource usage. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Hadmean on Void Linux.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Make sure your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suv
This command will update the package list and upgrade any existing packages on your system.
To install Hadmean, you need to add the Hadmean repository to your package manager. To do this, create a new file /etc/xbps.d/hadmean.conf using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/xbps.d/hadmean.conf
Then add the following lines to the file:
repository=https://hadmean.com/repos/voidlinux/current
Save the file and exit the text editor.
Now you can install Hadmean by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S hadmean-desktop
This will install the Hadmean desktop environment along with all the necessary dependencies.
Hadmean does not come with a display manager, so you need to install one separately. For example, you can install the LightDM display manager by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S lightdm
Once LightDM is installed, enable it by running:
sudo ln -s /etc/sv/lightdm /var/service/
Then start the LightDM service:
sudo sv up lightdm
Now you can log in to the Hadmean Desktop Environment using LightDM.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Hadmean on Void Linux. Enjoy the sleek and minimalist design of this desktop environment!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
