juli, in An open-source, cross-platform terminal for seamless workflows

Is there a competitor or is that the first of its kind?

lupec,

Closest I can think of is Warp, although right now it’s still closed source and Mac only. If there are others I’ve missed I’d love to learn more!

Warp has discoverability features that would actually convince me of using a “modern” terminal - like instant tooltips with documentation.

That said, call it trust issues, but I’ll never use a closed source terminal.

I’d like to see more user-friendly features like this that are terminal-agnostic. Manually checking manpages is so slow and fickle. Having the equivalent of an intellisense for the command line would be awesome.

lupec, (edited )

Yup, I feel you. It’s something I’ve always wanted myself, and I find myself hoping the OSS alternatives eventually implement something similar. For now I just make do with things like tealdeer and whatnot.

Edit: Just stumbled upon navi, the interactivity looks a lot closer to what we want than tldr and friends at least

Treeniks,

there is Inshellisense

I tried it for a few minutes, but every time I hit ctrl+c it stops showing tooltips. Looks good though

juli,

Yeah, deal breaker :D I’m not interested in mac software

lupec,

They do have Linux and Windows versions coming and claim they’re going to gradually open source it so there’s that, but yeah, doesn’t exactly inspire that much confidence lol

offspec,

I think Tabby is a similar project, but personally I spin up and throw out terminals very liberally. Tabby had a horrendous launch time, something more than a second which constantly bothered me while trying to work. I’d love to see how quick this is though!

krash,

+1 on tabby. Another nice feature tabby has is sync of secrets and settings. It is not very resource efficient, but it’s still nice.

Neat! Going to give this a go on my lunch break. Thanks!

  • themusicman, in why does the poster image of c/linux have 3.8mb?

    The issue is not that the large image was uploaded. The server should always store the highest quality available, and serve whatever resolution is requested by the client.

    I consider this a bug with Lemmy

    Lemmchen, (edited ) in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

    I’d probably try a minimal Debian installation with the Openbox WM.

    Link, in case you’re having trouble locating the .iso: …debian.org/…/debian-12.2.0-i386-netinst.iso

    micnd90, in Manjaro OS

    I have been daily driving since 2018 on Manjaro + KDE. In the beginning, considering it is a rolling distro I just update the system every other week and it would break fairly often. But in reality most users really don’t need to do sudo pacman -syyu unless they need certain and specific software update. That’s the great thing about Linux, it is not forcing you to update like Windows update. You do update when you specifically need it and know what you want. There’s barely any serious virus or security exploit for average Linux users. There are many top world supercomputers running on outdated kernels.

    If you are not chasing bleeding edge status, and update your Manjaro less regularly, say on par with Linux Mint update schedules of every 6 months or so, then it’ll break less often unless you are really really unlucky.

    Krtek, in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

    If you don’t have to use it but want to keep it functional, why just not reinstall MX again? You know that and how it works

    Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

    Because it does give me a functional piece of software to grab YouTube videos without actually opening YouTube, but it cannot really run Firefox with uBlock, which basically means web browsing is impossible

    AntiX or Arch 32 bit

    Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

    Yeah I'm going with AntiX. Used it a long time ago and assumed it had merged with Mepis to do MX, but thanks to this thread I find out it's still available

    slembcke, in Requesting advice on converting a Laptop Keyboard from QWERTY to Colemak-dh

    Yup, don’t. People already covered why. I will add that I tried learning dvorak for quite a while and it didn’t stick until I went cold turkey. It was very frustrating hunting and pecking for a couple days, but I made pretty quick progress. IIRC I was back up to 20-30 wpm after a week which was “usable” at least, and back to 60-70 wpm after a month. I had regular wrist pain before switching, and it was basically gone after. I don’t think it helped my typing speed. Like I can do 90 in bursts for a bit longer, but generally I “cruise” much slower than that. ;)

    give azpainter a try, it’s what i used to use for drawing with a 2007 dual core laptop until not too long ago

    heads up, the ui is kind of a mess, you most likely will have to re arrange it to your liking and there is a bit of a learning curve there, but it’s a pretty powerful piece of drawing/painting software nonetheless

    neige, in What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

    MX, anything else is a farce

    Doll_Tow_Jet-ski,

    I've been using MX since it was Mepis. I love seeing it said well recommended in this thread. For the old laptop I'll go with AntiX

    neige, in Zorin OS 17 Beta Released with Quick Settings, Spatial Desktop, and More

    Neon and Zorin only bring further division

    Samueru, in Manjaro OS

    There was a lot of misinformation about manjaro regarding the “Aur DDOS” and their finances that people still repeat to this day.

    The person maintaining the manjarno repo which was a very popular site where all the critism of manjaro was recently corrected all those mistakes and then later took the website down.

    Titou, in Manjaro OS
    @Titou@feddit.de avatar

    Used Manjaro in the past, worst distros i’ve used. Wifi card detections, Screen display and kernel issues,. Re-installed it many times. Never had thoses problems with Arch, Debian, & Ubuntu

    Dariusmiles2123, in Surface Go 2 with 4GB Ram and 4425Y worth it?

    I have a Surface Go 1 with the 128gb ssd drive that I bought as a cheap computer while I got separated from my ex in 2019. I bought it for around 4-500$ with an included typecover.

    While I’m really happy with it, it’s not what I’d recommend as you really need to hook it up to a monitor when you’re at home. It’s powerful enough for me with its 8gb of ram, but the lack of upgradability is a long term problem.

    I guess yours sounds too expensive and already lacking in term of specs. If I were you, I’d at least look for a more powerful second hand Surface Go as Fedora runs perfectly on it (except the camera and slow blutooth for the mouse).

    Prunebutt,

    It wouldn’t have been my primary device, but it indeed sounds too expensive now.

    Dariusmiles2123,

    Also, it ain’t so easy to make it a perfect portable Linux device. Just booting from Usb key without Ventoy is a hassle.

    My girlfriend 2012 MacBook Pro was surprisingly easier to get Linuxed.

    N3M,

    The tablet and 2 in 1 surface devices are pretty much laptops (at least same architecture and bootloader) amd they’ve been easy to boot other stuff with in my somewhat limited experience.

    Prunebutt,

    There is quite an active Linux on Surface community, so I figured that it’s a bit easier to get it running.

    Dariusmiles2123,

    Don’t misunderstand me, it’s still a good experience, but it’s still the most difficult Linux optimization I’ve ever had since I started installing Linux on all my computers around 2005.

    But the form factor is really great if you move a lot and it’s a good tiny laptop with the typecover.

    I’ve never installed the Surface kernel so I don’t know how much it would improve the experience.
