And 80 of them are just VLC player

Soulslites, on the other hand…

Back in the thick of it, it was easy to get sucked into the hype when game graphics tech was progressing so quickly…

These days I mainly emulate older games. Fun games are fun.

Kill the Windows, Console the Console!

Thunar also calls them folders in the properties window.

And most Linux icon themes visually represent them with a file cabinet folder image…

Forget the color and just give it 100% transparency

I like every UI that has a menu bar…

Agreed. I use Arch, Debian, and Mint with Xfce on all of them. It’s stable as a rock in every iteration.

That being said, Debian’s the distro famous for out of date packages, so its a little silly that Mint has it beat in this regard, especially when updates to everything else are much more frequent.

I also work as a sysadmin maintaining all these devices, and every time I move files between the laptops running Mint I’m confronted with Xfce’s old file transfer dialog. You’re gonna love the improvements 4.20 made when it finally hits the repos.

And an older version of Xfce than Debian

Why

bash kill output:

kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec … or kill -l [sigspec]

fish kill output:

kill: not enough arguments

I tried lots of DE’s when distros started switching to GNOME 3.

Now I just run Xfce on everything.

Its inodes all the way down

I had an update today knock out my wireless card. We’re living on the edge.

TFW Windows drops everything you’re doing to automatically install unstable updates

AUR pkgbuild files are basically just bash scripts. You can integrate them with anything.

Too bad it runs Windows (by default)

That’s what a computer should look like, imo

So tired of all this oversimplification and enlarging of UI elements so they don’t disappear behind peoples’ thumbs

I use a MOUSE, not a HAND

I like how ffplay treats the entire video as a progress bar. I can right-click anywhere to do precision seeking.

It’s also very extensible through bash and other ffmpeg tools. I have it set up as a script on my system that scans the video file first with ffprobe to get the mean audio level of the file, then adjust it based on the universal volume level I have set when it opens with the player, so nothing ends up too loud or too quiet.

Piping yt-dlp output into ffplay is pretty simple too, but I prefer caching downloads to my Video directory first rather than watching them directly from my RSS reader.

yt-dlp also has sponsorblock support, btw.

For me, its ffplay
