About NurOS

NurOS is an independent, rolling-release Linux distribution designed as a universal, better alternative to Windows. Drawing inspiration from Fedora, Mint, and NixOS, NurOS combines user-friendliness with resource efficiency while maintaining the flexibility that power users demand.

Features

Minimal Information Display

Following the FRESH philosophy, shows only essential information:

• OS: NurOS (rolling release, no version number needed)
• Kernel: Linux kernel version
• Uptime: System uptime in human-readable format
• Packages: Smart package count with manager detection
• Shell: Current shell with version
• DE: Desktop Environment (auto-detected, falls back to WM or TTY)
• Terminal: Terminal emulator (auto-detected)

Package Manager Detection

The configuration intelligently detects package counts:

1. Primary: Tries tulpar list --count (NurOS native package manager)
2. Fallback: If tulpar is not available (demo/development), detects and counts packages from:
   • pacman (Arch-based)
   • apt (Debian-based)
   • dnf (Fedora-based)
   • nix (Nix packages)
   • flatpak (Universal packages)

This allows the configuration to work on development systems before tulpar is ready.

Beautiful Separator

Uses ▸ symbol in cyan as a stylish, minimal separator between labels and values.

Auto-Detection

• Desktop Environment: Checks $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, falls back to $DESKTOP_SESSION, then WM detection
• Window Manager: Uses wmctrl if no DE is found
• Terminal: Detects parent process to identify terminal emulator
• Shell Version: Automatically fetches shell version information

Color Scheme

• Primary: Blue ({color.blue}) - NurOS brand color
• Accent: Bright Blue ({color.bright_blue}) - Highlights
• Separator: Cyan ({color.cyan}) - Beautiful ▸ symbol
• Logo Gradient: Blue → Bright Blue → Cyan → Bright Cyan

Customization

Changing Colors

Edit the color variables at the top of config.lua:

local accent = "{style.bold}{color.blue}"     -- Label color
local bright = "{color.bright_blue}"          -- Highlight color
local sep = reset .. " {color.cyan}▸{style.reset} "  -- Separator

Changing Layout

Modify the padding and mode:

yo.padding(3, 0, 1)  -- Right, Left, Top spacing
yo.mode("default")   -- "default" (horizontal) or "vertical"

Adding/Removing Info Fields

Add new lines using the helper function:

yo.print(info_line("Label", "value"))

Or remove existing yo.print() calls you don't need.

Modifying the Logo

Edit the yo.logo() section. You can change colors for each line or replace the entire ASCII art.

Philosophy in Practice

This configuration embodies NurOS's FRESH principles:

• Friendly for User: Clean, readable output with auto-detection
• Resource-efficient: Minimal information, efficient commands, caching where needed
• Easy, but not too much: Simple structure, but customizable for power users
• Source (FLOSS): Open configuration, hackable Lua code
• tHinking different: Independent approach with unique visual identity

Technical Details

• Language: Lua (YoFetch configuration)
• Dependencies: bash, basic coreutils (uptime, uname, etc.)
• Optional: wmctrl (for WM detection)
• Default Mode: Horizontal (logo left, info right)
• Shell: /bin/bash with -c flag
