  • Another i3 user here. I slowly transitioned from KDE when switching keyboard layout stopped working as well as some other DE related things.

    Ended up writing custom script for switching. Currently implemented with rofi in Perl, bc I like the syntax.

    I still like having a bit nice gui, so i have wallpapers, some icons, etc. But I fell in love with terminal along with neovim : ) , soo kinda looking for that middle ground between look, performance and functionality.

    Haven’t finished tweaking all the configs to my liking, but after that vanilla Arch is the direction I plan to go, since many things in my current install that I have as well as haven’t customized work a bit questionably or exist for no reason.



  • Maybe if there was at least one project (other than Grayjay, bc that takes quite a bit of storage) that runs well on less powerful devices and ties to add support for all services community requests.

    Just look at those cases when ppl requested them to add Odysee and removed. (I do get the removed part of thing, but saying Odysee is bad feels like an insult to people who don’t want to put videos on Youtube. As if yt contained only good and properly reviewed content, right?). And there’s more denied requests like that. Saying things like it’s full of propaganda, conspiracies and idk what else they can come up with.

    And other forks just support one or 2 additional services. Kinda reason why I like Grayjay plugin system. Because if you want support for something, you can, even without Android Studio. It already contains more, but it’s quite large.

    I play with it sometimes, kinde like some of the syntax, especially regex and ;. I tried doing regex with sed when working on one personal script, but was getting errors way too often everywhere. Perl did what I wanted in a few lines and gave me desired output, so I just used that.

    Imo, it doesn’t really matter what you use for writing code for your personal use as long as it works. : )









  • I have tried both, Libresprite is nice, but I am more used to working with Krita, alhough my laptop really dislikes it and heats up. Was not an issue when it was booting Linux so an OS issue I guess.

    Libresprite is obviously more plug and play experience.

    Krita has a decent pixel art support, but requires a bit of setup. Some tools have Antialiasing option in Tool options docker, so you may play around with that, if your selections and fills are getting messed up. It has some pixel brushes, but if you decide to stick with it for a while I would recommend making some brushes and patterns for pixelart on your own as well, just for the sake of convenience. Also make sure to customize your dockers (UI).




  • I would copy the text to a .txt file (maybe edit it to make the width more mobile friendly) and on phone open it with some basic text editor.

    I use MiXplorer (the free version from XDA) as a default file manager and find it’s Text editor quite good. Other good options may be Markor (since it has edit and view modes, but make sure to turn off text wrapping) or other editors. Code editor like Acode would be an overkill for this.

    Last but not least, you can also screenshot the tab or copy it to some word processor, set font to monospace and export as .pdf (maybe with custom document size if more convenient)
