This was a cool read. Thanks for sharing :) I've been an XFCE user since 2002 & can confirm that as a longtime user I've never really encountered anything other than a few small problems....
For real :? 😦
This has never happened to me, well at least not yet. The only thing that's ballsed up recently is Nvidia drivers....
I can make Firefox use way too much resources simply by visiting an Instagram profile & opening the toolbox on a few posts to inspect the code....
Not upgrading your system for like 6 months is a really bad practice that should not be recommended ever. If you don't want to upgrade your system all that often, then why not install something like Debian instead of a rolling distro?
There's nothing wrong with using something like KDE. I myself use XFCE. Use whatever you like and are comfortable with....
Fair, fair....
Been using XFCE on Linux for somewhere around 20 years. In the new year I wish to try switching fulltime to a wm & maybe even wayland....
Again I'd just like to thank you for all the hard work you & all the other devs are putting into working on fixing everything that broke with this upgrade....
The year was 2002 & I was fed up with windows for various reasons. Connected to the internet looking for a windows alternative & ended up finding slackware. Installed slackware & got it somewhat working. Happily used it for a short while, before moving on to Fedora Core when it was released....
Install nerd fonts & place the line below in your .bashrc
....
bash export PS1='\[\e[0m\] \[\e[0m\] \[\e[0m\]'
Forgot to mention that
mpv
is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It's been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here's some quick info....The file
~/.newsboat/urls
contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replaceCHANNEL_ID
with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel's page..With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using
yt-dlp
. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config..This binds the
d
key to useyt-dlp
to download videos.
