Starting with someone’s dotfiles is a much better way to start with these minimalist window managers. You can see what they did and only tweak the the things you want to work different. Still not as easy as a DE’s unified settings, but if you like that fine grained control it can be worthwhile. My setup is quite basic, but having everything bound to the keys I want lets me do what I want quickly.
Wouldn’t want bad actors to find privacy respecting software.
My main reason for buying a 6 refurbished was GrapheneOS. Beyond that, it’s a phone without an SD card slot or an easily replacee battery. When this phone gets an issue I can’t fix, I’ll probably re-evaluate what to get - hopefully still a GrapheneOS phone but more repaiarable and expandable.
Libredirect in general is fantastic, a lot of shit websites become so much more usable. In particular not having to use Fandom is a godsend, that website in particular is just awful.
it uses barely anything. youtube-tui is a TUI not CLI, you can click on shit and it’ll run on hardware that for some reason cannot handle freetube of all things. you will have to set up mpv or something for most leaner alternatives to get video running on hardware that modest.
use youtube-tui then nerd
Neovim can can certainly be an IDE, but its complexity comes from having a lot of features to rapidly edit text. d5d deletes 5 lines, vwwy selects two words and yanks them, gg returns to the beginning of the file, etc. It’ll maybe do some code highlighting out of the box but its featureset is about never needing to touch a mouse or leave home row.
It’s about like notepad++ on Windows in that it’s very good for quick edits of a file or otherwise manipulating plaintext but it isn’t good out of the box for actual writing meant to be read by other human beings.
There is Rock Pi and other SoC’s that have that. That H3/H3+ looks like a good option for a low power server for self hosting.
It’s the lack of hardware AV1 that concerns me, as well as droppong h.264. Raw CPU means it’ll still handle the latter, but since streaming will be moving to AV1 it’s kind of questionable whether this will be a reasonable media center.
Wait, paru can handle flatpaks?
I have some deeply tech unsavvy people in my life who will fuck up their phone trying to “uninstall Google” - and thus disable all their keyboards - that would probably benefit from a “just works” degoogled phone. I love GrapheneOS, but it assumes the end user is the sort of dork that is capable of installing it in the first place - people who struggle with tech deserve privacy too.
