  • As someone that’s been through all three:

    I tried a theme but I couldn’t be bothered much

    So I stuck to default theme, knowing it ruined my colourscheme.

    Now, I’m on MPV and everything works perfectly, except that I need to run it from a terminal because I really can’t be bothered to do a drag n drop of a file into the mpv window. I’d recommend using mpv with window swallowing enabled for your terminal.

    Alternatively, you can use an MPV frontend.



  • I’ll be honest, I use bash and the only benefit using ble.sh has over zsh, is that vi(m) mode is better than zsh. For example, more complex commands like di" (delete inside ") don’t work in zsh, but work in bash with ble.sh. Also, I found ble.sh far more complicated and took me a while to get it configured. Even now, some completions, especially tab completion, isn’t as good in bash as in zsh. In fact, the only issues I had with zsh compared to ble.sh were vi mode related. More specifically, the aforementioned lack of advanced vi(m) mode commands, and the limited support for showing the current vi mode in the prompt, for example for Visual mode (Normal and Insert mode seem to be the only ones to work).

    So if you need advanced vi(m) mode, get ble.sh configured. Otherwise, go for zsh.


  • All great, except this:

    Note that unverified Flatpaks also do not feature any reviews and do not have a score.

    Taken from their New Features page: www.linuxmint.com/rel_wilma_whatsnew.php

    I genuinely think this is stupid. If you’re worried about unverified flatpaks being a security risk so much so that you disable them from your software center, at least you could keep their reviews so users could at least know if the app can be trusted.

    I love Linux Mint. What Clem and team have been able to do and keep on doing is simply amazing, but in this case, for that specific part of this new choice, I’ll have to disagree.



  • I’m SO excited for river 0.4.0 as it will bring a massive architectural change which will basically allow people to build their own Window Manager on top of River. Currently, River is a Wayland Compositor with an extensible Layout Generator Process support via a custom protocol. This change will essentially make River into a hyper-extensible Window manager building system which will make it immensely powerful.








  • I have snapchat and I only use the chat feature hence why I haven’t given it location, microphone, or even camera permission. That’s right, Snapchat with no snaps, so all that’s left is chats. At that point, it’s basically Whatsapp for zoomers meets tiktok or something along those lines (depending on which features you use).
