Not an answer to your question. Just some perspective. I’ve come to be more patient with FOSS. Perhaps it doesn’t always work how I want, but unlike proprierary options, it belongs to me. Something to think about when something doesn’t go your way.

Not an answer to your question.

mpv, imv, zathura, ffmpeg, imagemagick, pandoc, yt-dlp, yazi/ranger, curl/wget

I realize many of this don’t strictly conform to the suckless philosophy. (which is meme imo). They more loosly follow the UNIX principle: Do one thing and do it well. I would have added emacs, but why emacs follows the unix principle is an argument for another time

I suggest having two separate hard drives rather than dual booting

Politics is what happens whenever more than 2 people make a decision

Equally upsetting. The site is truthsocial.com not truth.social

Are you suggesting distrohopping to a new user? For shame! (Use virtualbox)

My suggestion is you focus more on learning to use the terminal than figuring out which one to use. Switching terminals is like a micro version of distro hopping without the benefits.

I use ollama for llms, but being a terminal tool, you need to be comfortable using the terminal.

To answer your original question, I use alacritty. Minimal bells and whistles. Just a terminal.

Overwrite wasn’t the best choice of words. Display in place of is better. There’s a literal option now called “disable hyperchan” If you use that config, you don’t need to do anything else. But, having a dev introduce a feature which supercedes users’ deliberate choices for his, and his cronies amusement was reason enough to leave.

1st turnoff for me was the creator added this anime background which overwrote whatever background you had. I found the file and wrote a hook to automatically delete it on update reverting to mt background, only to find that there was a condig option to do the same thing

2nd The maintainer is a bigot and I won’t support bigotted projects when there are other (better) options like sway which I know use.

TLDR: Creator violates Wheatons Law. I don’t like that.

I should have phrased that better. I agree copy and pasting commands off of the internet is a terrible idea. Be they from ai or from a forum or wiki. By ‘try’ I meant look into. As in explore that path. To you and I ‘try’ means something different than a new user. I will be more careful in the future

If ai gives you something to try it’s better than nothing. But I was going to suggest another distro if someone else hadn’t. Thanks ai…

If you do want to learn Rust, try Rustlings. It’s the best intro I’ve ever seen to a language. You are introduced to all of the concepts and data structures by debugging code, and you run it locally so you get a real development experience while you do it.

Why?

No, but I’ve had A LOT more cloudflare ‘prove that you are human’ boxes. And I had an infinite loop captcha. I don’t have much in the way of extensions, and I wasn’t using a vpn

You can probably get by on library computers

Yea lol

That’s what I did
