Good read, though found a typo, which is easy to do when you're used to dealing with GBs and not MBs:

I found Q4OS to be a very stripped-down distribution of Linux that worked reasonably well on my old PC with 256 GB of RAM a

Thanks for sharing

Yeah, i think luke covered it :) right?

Arch Linux users: Update your systems thus:

pacman -Sy sudo

The -y option refreshes the master package database so sudo-1.9.5.p2-1, the fixed version, is available.

Thanks for the resposne. I actually ended up using Calibre to convert to html with some limited success. I think I need to adjust the settings more, as some of the pages had some weird formatting issues with the embedded images and text overlapping them, or in some cases lines not wrapping to the page causing horizontal scroll in the browser.

It's still something I want to get working as I have some great ebooks on alternative construction, gardening, and a lot of homestead and off-grid living stuff that I want to share. Maybe some day soon...

First time posting so take it easy on me please... I use Linux Mint and have found a program back when I was a windows user called Calibre which is an ebook management program. It is a Linux program that normally is in your Software Manager. Among it's features is the ability to convert ebooks to different formats. HTML is one format, I personally use it to convert them to .txt and then use text2wav and Lame to convert them to mp3 as I am an OLD computer user (53) and am slowly going blind. Hope this helps! if you want me to send you my .sh I wrote to handle the .txt to .mp3 process let me know via email fu.killme @ gmail.com

Nice.

I havent post about broot in order to compare with other file-manager. Broot is another file-manager, that does things diferently, pretty much that!

So is ranger: https://ramble.pw/f/linux/1213/ranger-the-aesthetic-way-to-manage-files-on-linux

What are the advantages Broot has over ranger?

I just use Nemo, when I used to use more cli programs, I liked ranger

Pretty cool, wasnt familiar with this software !

I like gnome but i aint using 4.0

arch and debian

my favorite distro that i don't use anymore is gobolinux

eyy i just installed a pleroma server yesterday! it's pretty dope

i love suckless. i'm devoted to dwm and ive been using the same compile of it since like 2012

I'm very happy with Suckless Image Viewer (sxiv) and a fork of the Suckless Terminal that does the solarized color scheme (st-solarized-scrollback in the Arch User Repository). Minimalist, keyboard-friendly, and capable. Good software!

You want fast?

rust

Miss me with that gay shit

But since we're talking about similar stuff, lf is literally a faster ranger.

I'd switch to nnn, but ranger is fast enough for me.

I'm currently using urxvt, since it was one of the ones compatible with w3m-img which is used to display picture previews in my file manager ranger.

I want to move over to st, though, since it's a suckless tool and I like the suckless philosophy.

Currently it's Mint with a Mate-i3 combo. But I want to move over to Artix, so that's what's on my Laptop.

I don't use many GUI applications, since they are too limited. I use ranger: https://ramble.pw/f/linux/1213/ranger-the-aesthetic-way-to-manage-files-on-linux

If you're more or less happy with Thunar, give PCManFM a try. Mostly the same layout so it should feel familiar, with more power user options that don't complicate the UI. In a debian based distro: sudo apt install pcmanfm

Dolphin on my KDE Plasma + i3wm build

I use a ti8ling windows manager. usually
