Winblues · The Joy of Linux Theming in the Age of Bootable ContainersHaving spent a couple of decades in the Linux world, I have always had an interest in Linux desktop environments and how they are themed. I would often come across a post on /r/unixporn that inspired me to try to customize the look and feel of my desktop environment. So I would install Xfce, LXQt or Sway and try to recreate components that I like from other users or create my own. I would end up installing different kinds of panels, plugins, docks and launchers as well as random themes, fonts and sounds.

Ok, Does this exist??
I hear a lot of talk about how so much of tech was built by queer people. People joking whenever bigots start boycotting Rainbows that they'd best shut off their computers, because the whole stack is built by people represented by it.
Does the book highlighting that, really giving the stories of just how filled with gay, trans, etc. stories early (mid, and modern) computing is?
Because, if it does, I'd love to read it, and if it doesn't.. it *should*, and I almost never use that word. But queer history is being erased all the time and fighting back against that is important.
I don't know my computing history all that well, but I know that many of the major players still are alive and may be willing to tell stories to someone. But we've only got that option for so much longer. I'm stuck as a queer unix-dabbler with very little writing experience wondering if since this idea has come to me, I'm going to have to give it a try.
I know I have a lot of ideas that never get enough of my attention to get off the ground, so if this one grabs you, run with it with my blessing. If you can make this happen, do it. If you'd like to help me do so, I'd welcome the aid. I know I'm under qualified to take this on.
