I feel like I'm googling the wrong thing since I'm mostly getting start menu replacements and not a supplement. I want to click the ps button or a keyboard button and have a grid pop up over my apps that displays pinned apps/games that I can scroll through and launch with my controller or keyboard. Does something like that this exist?

Been using the CLI more and more and for whatever reason it gives me more dopamine than using apps with a GUI and I'm curious about what else is out there since I was a windows user til 6 months ago.

Discovering ish and the ability to use alpine linux on my iphone, also has me curious if there is anything useful/fun out there that isn't openssh, ranger, and ffmpeg. (a-shell is still updated and comes with those two by default but doesn't have access to alpine repo and apk, uses its own iphone based thing) Tho im curious about cli tools/apps in general to use on my pc or over ssh, not just those that could be installed on my phone

I mostly use ffmpeg to convert video and compress stuff for size limits (so I can convert before sftp when away from my pc after the render finishes) Ranger file manager on phone since it can easily exit at a path, and yazi with the shell script that lets it exit at whatever path your on on pc.

Will update this list as people comment.

• Conversion/Compression: ffmpeg
• Email: mutt, neomut
• File management: mc, nnn, ranger, yazi, sfm
• File editor: vim, neovim
• Git: lazygit
• Piracy: ani-cli (anime) rip (music)
• Pdf Management: pdftk (pdftk-idk, or stapler)
• Python: rich, pythondialog, textual
• Docker management : lazydocker
• Performance monitor: btop, nvtop (nvidia), ncdu (disk usage)
• Network management: nmtui
• Web browser : browsh (firefox backend)
• Video downloader: yt-dlp
• Shell scripts: dialog, whiptail
• Misc: netpbm (plaintext image creation) If you can't comment this post seems to be bugged for me at least, says I've deleted it and I can't reply to anyone.

Like the window thumbnails gnome extension? Prob the main thing keeping me on gnome right now.

How accurate are the dates for upcoming releases typically?

I think ar might be a dead dream in its current state, I always thought wed have proper ar glasses by now because I fell for Magic Leaps Marketting, not sure if it'll come anytime soon.

What I do believe is coming is the resurgence of computers through mobile phones. Everyone has a powerful computer in their pockets but isn't able to use them to their full potential. I wouldn't be suprised if android pushed out a proper android desktop experience letting android users get the full linux desktop experience when plugged into a monitor, mouse, and keyboard.

Phone performance is stronger than the average laptops/netbooks from 10 years age and they run linux fine for everyday use. Feels like a missed opportunity if someone doesn't drop a phone or os that lets you take advantage of modern hardwares capability. They could advertise it to families, mo more buying a pc for school, just get them hardware for their existing device, it can already do everything. Schools could use lapdocks, or tabletdocks, that could force school parental controls on devices while at school and still let them use it for their education while in class.

(obviously not everyone has a phone but that frees up resources for the kids that dont, if the kids that do can use cheaper docks with their exisitnt hardware)

Cant forget the temporary bans for reporting people and getting told its mod abuse (anything I reported had to be at an insane level for me to bother reporting it)

Party that screams about releasing redacted informarion sure loves controlling the narative by redacting information.

Remember how everyone agreed it was probably her, we had hella high upvote posts, see none of them now only found one filled with skeptics
