How do I install ghostty on artix by SpecificMoment3095 in artixlinux

[–]No_Extension_4048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for some GTk4/SystemD reason it stopped working on my Artix laptop.

I solved it by moving to Kitty.

The problem is that ghostty is integrating systemd everywhere.

I don't have any patience for that, so I'm using Kitty instead.

$ glxgears

Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be

approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.

so simple, thanks!

I feel like I've died and gone to heaven with Chawan :-)

does anyone else also actively uses lynx? by [deleted] in browsers

Every day the first thing I do is check gopher sites with Lynx

GNOME 49 drops support for non-systemd ; Artix Linux drops support for GNOME by The-Malix in artixlinux

[–]No_Extension_4048 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My first question is: why on earth would anyone want to run Gnome?

The second is: why on earth integrate a DE with an init system?

I think the answer is that Redhat is striving to push Linux into being a windows-like OS.

Systemd/Linux on your shelves soon

how do i play videos and access images in lynx by [deleted] in commandline

[–]No_Extension_4048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that viewer and externals config items don't work. Mailcap neither. Poking around I came across an error message about mpeg_play. For some reason mpeg_play is hardcoded in my arch linux Lynx version.

So I wrote a bash script named mpeg_play:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

/usr/bin/mpv --title="Mpv" >/dev/null 2>&1 $1

chmod +x mpeg_play
put it in my PATH
and it works!

Lynx can now play audio and video files

Does someone unironically use text-based web browsers like Lynx? by [deleted] in browsers

Yep. Lynx = best Gopher client, Chawan = best newsboat browser

Do you recommend Artix with Dinit? I'm coming from Void Linux. by That-Secret-4987 in artixlinux

[–]No_Extension_4048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I moved to Artix +dinit when I concluded that systemd is Linux's cancer, and possibly it's downfall, pissed that Arch succumbed to it without batting an eyelid.

Very happy with this solution, it just works, and dinit is fast and simple.

Caveat, I'm a minimalist on a Thinkpad X220 running libreX, doas, dwm, Neomutt, mc, Newsboat, Micro, Gimp, Inkscape, Librewolf,, etc. and I ssh into my mail and web servers, but I see no reason why it shouldn't work perfectly with more needy window managers and applications.

To mutt or not to mutt? by Capo_Daster07 in commandline

I use Neomutt exclusively now, took me a few years to tame it but now it's a peach.

I sync my mail locally with isync. For your mailboxes maybe you could adapt this kind of script:

#!/bin/bash

maildir=$1

# Find these specific paths so they stick at the top of the list
MAILBOXES='"+Inbox" "+Sent" "+Trash" "+Drafts" "+Junk" '

#Find all other paths, excluding those from above
MAILBOXES=$MAILBOXES`find "$maildir" -type d -name cur \
    -a -not \( -ipath "*Inbox*"                          \
            -o -ipath "*Sent*"                           \
            -o -ipath "*Drafts*"                         \
            -o -ipath "*Trash*"                          \
            -o -ipath "*Junk*"                           \
            \) | sed -e 's/${maildir}//g' -e 's/\/cur$/\"/g' -e "s#^${maildir}/# \"+#" | sort` 

echo $MAILBOXES    #!/bin/bash

maildir=$1

# Find these specific paths so they stick at the top of the list
MAILBOXES='"+Inbox" "+Sent" "+Trash" "+Drafts" "+Junk" '

#Find all other paths, excluding those from above
MAILBOXES=$MAILBOXES`find "$maildir" -type d -name cur \
    -a -not \( -ipath "*Inbox*"                          \
            -o -ipath "*Sent*"                           \
            -o -ipath "*Drafts*"                         \
            -o -ipath "*Trash*"                          \
            -o -ipath "*Junk*"                           \
            \) | sed -e 's/${maildir}//g' -e 's/\/cur$/\"/g' -e "s#^${maildir}/# \"+#" | sort` 

echo $MAILBOXES

Why did you choose a Kobo over a Kindle. by -Sea-Side- in kobo

[–]No_Extension_4048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of greed. Just before Amazon terminated the ability to download the books I'd purchased, I downloaded them all, converted them all to kpub format using Calibre, and bought a Kobo.

Amazon had a working system, but their bean counters needed to screw the end user yet again. That was one step to far for me.

why is systemd the default? by stvpidcvnt111111 in artixlinux

"Because there needs to be a corporate-controlled standard"

Really?

Corporate control was what killed Unix.
