Some distros ship really old Dolphin versions, this will hopefully fix that.

mpv is a pretty major competitor (recommended especially in enthusiast communities), but is also free software.

This is what I thought of right away.

I strongly agree with this. You just don't have to worry if it's actually free software. You can use vim and emacs at home or at work. You don't need to suddenly pay for a professional license or risk getting into trouble. It

The Four Freedoms of free software or the Open Source Definition may clear things up, for those who haven't read them. You can sell CDs with Emacs on them!

Thanks. I always read headlines like this with skepticism and try to find the license used right away. They score easy feel-good points throwing around "open source" without going all the way.

This is a good point. People get hung up on feature parity and niche features that they often don't even use. I guess they'd be more comfortable if there were zero downsides to switching to something else, but it's rarely so

These rankings are based on page views and are easily manipulated. Imagine how many people click on one of the top 20 distros they aren't familiar with to see what it is, which just cements its spot that high up.

That was the highlight of the story for me.

With enough disgruntled ex-Adobe users looking for something new, you'd think GIMP would be improved or replaced by better free software. I feel that people switching to another proprietary thing will just run into problems again in th

Irssi remains my gold standard, not just for IRC, but chat clients in general. This does result in a lot of disappointment as no one's made anything near as good for XMPP or Matrix. You've just got superficially similar stuff like

They already set them up for a ton of sites, though, and often you can guess your way to a bang on the first try. I have only looked at the actual list once or twice. Plus it seems to match the closest one in cases of using one that doesn&#

If you care about Asahi support, an M1 or M2 would probably be better short-term anyway.

I've enjoyed "nano tape", thick clear stuff you can find on aliexpress or amazon. It's like a step up from mounting putty. Good for stuff like sticking a powerstrip to a desk or wall without drilling holes and using scre

People still have to explore to fill out those wikis. They're not always complete or correct, either.

In ranger, dd is cut/mv and dD is delete, but dD on one file spawns a command with :delete typed in so you have to hit enter to pull the trigger, and doing it with multiple files has the same behavior plus adds a y/N prompt asking

Based on the comments here about weird inconsistent keybinds and accidental file deletions, I won't be trying this for now, but I will keep an eye on it. I use ranger very heavily every day, but it being slow pythonware is sometimes a

Digging through menus can be pretty frustrating. A way to search available commands and options would be ideal. Something like Emacs's M-x prompt suggesting commands as you type, and if you see nothing relevant you can try a different

Emacs is one of the best GUI programs because they add functionality on top of the terminal version, like image support, different font sizes at once, and the window separators not being part of the text so highlighting text quickly is easi

Super is the "Windows" key (or the Command key), it's the "mod key" that can then be set to super or alt/meta or whatever. For the reasons you suggest (WMs often heavily using the super key), I would not want

Most people probably already know ranger and vim. If you like those, stig is a fantastic frontend for the Transmission bittorrent client. Has both tui and cli. I mostly use the tui, but sometimes cli is useful for e.g. `sleep 15m &&

Is your local tap water no good? I carry around a 40oz Hydro Flask full of the city water from the tap and it works well for me.
