Cool! And good to see flake.nix right out of the box as well :)

Although I’m a bit annoyed that it forces its own colortheme rather than use the default colors so that it matches the rest of my system.

A TUI? No, thank you.

Why??? TUIs are the best kind of UI. They run anywhere and don’t siphon your system resources like garbage Electron apps.

And you can run it over SSH on servers.

It’s just an easy thing to contrast against.

Electron is one of the slowest, clunky, memory-hogging ways to have a UI, and TUIs are the exact opposite. I don’t care if (name of company that ships Electron slop here) can ship your software webpage masquerading as software to more systems more easily. If your messaging “app” has input lag when I type something, it’s a dogshit experience.

Of course, there are ways to ship GUIs that aren’t all of the things wrong with Electron, but comparing TUIs with those is less interesting and more a question of if the person likes to live in their terminal or not.

Nice! I see that it was inspired by sysz, which I already find very helpful.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
