Independent tools, creative assets, and repair-minded computing.

Dan Peters Designs builds practical Linux utilities, desktop themes, icon packs, self-hosted workflows, and repair-first resources for people who still want their computers to feel like their own.

Dan Peters Designs began with a simple habit: taking overlooked hardware, software, and ideas and finding useful new lives for them. What started with custom systems, Linux experiments, graphics, and hands-on repair became a place to share the projects, tools, and lessons learned from building things the practical way.
