You can use Play it slowly, which is rather bare-bones, or Sonic Visualizer, which is something of the opposite, but quite powerful.

My daily workhorse is Transcribe!, which I've been using for nearly 30 years, actually. Very powerful, and very intuitive, and with a lot of useful effects, such as filtering out the vocals (if possible), etc. I paid a one-time fee for a subscription back in the day. Money well spent.

All that - and then you end up using Gnome?!

Amen to everything you're saying.

Wait - you're still running e16?!

[-] eyolf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that was a game changer, learning about the dbl binds. I picked it up again a few weeks back, and those have been some pretty unproductive weeks

I remember that one of the things that really blew me away was the virtual desktop pager which was a live miniature of the actual desktops.

[-] eyolf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Could you expand on that? What is exceptional about the feature set, and how does e use the desktop differently?

'not speedy, but ongoing' - That sounds like E, alright ...

One of the first wow-moments when I first installed linux (2003ish) was Enlightenment. I though it was very pretty, and quite different from the mainstream WMs. It was presented as a feature, not a bug, that development was slow: the people behind it wanted to take the time it took to get it right.

So I waited. I always installed it on new computers, but it never seemed quite ready to use.

I did the same today, and the feeling is the same as in 2003: it's not quite there yet.

Hence the question: does anyone actually use it as their everyday WM?

I didn't think I would ever say this, but: arch isn't always the answer. True: the last time the entire system broke on me was in 2006'ish, but I can't count the times certain apps have stopped working or some python upgrade messes up things. Sure: that's the price of rolling release and AUR, and I wouldn't be without it, but it's a thing one has to learn to live with, and a thing that makes 'arch' the wrong answer to this particular question.

Just wondering: how would you characterize the general feel of the different nvim flavours: LazyVim, Chad, Astro, etc.? I'm not thinking functionality, which plugins are included, etc., but the way they feel when one uses them.

I tried out a whole bunch of them, as per Elijah Manor's excellent video about config switching (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkHjJlSgKZY)

I figured out LazyVim is trying its best not to look and feel like vim, with modal windows and fancy graphics and all. I didn't like that. I can't remember why I left Astro behind, but I finally settled on Chad, which at first I disliked because of the name, but eventually I figured out that that was the flavour for me: so many things just worked as expected, and there were so many times when I looked up something, and went: "Hm! That was quite smart, actually!"

So that's where I'm at – and purely for "feel" reasons. So: convince me: what am I missing when I don't use bundle B or config C?
