Solarmass Right, the entire right side is a 1080p HP monitor in portrait. Alacritty is taking up the entire screen, but subdivided into three panes with tmux

alveion 😆

        rdr I am curious how is usability of the console music players, e.g. hotkeys support, playlists creation, shuffle/repeat, queue, etc... Sure it looks minimal and "geeky".

            Solarmass The only thing you don't get is drag and drop, they even have rudimentary mouse support. With mpd+ncmpcpp, my typical usage is hitting ~ to add random (songs), 150 (enter), and then removing songs with the hotkey (I usually bind it with x) to make the random mix even better. With cmus, I usually listen to albums, but you can create playlists by adding a song with "y", shuffle is toggleable with a hotkey (s), playlists are a thing. It's not only minimal and geeky but also very functional. It even has Budgie/GNOME integration via mpris, so you can pause/etc with the gui. I encourage you to try it out if it interests you, but there's nothing wrong with a gui player. One limitation with cmus in particular is it tends to encourage you to listen to artists/albums rather than a queue, but you can use the playlist functionality to do that.

                rdr I encourage you to try it out

                Thanks! Maybe I give it a try, though I'm already using a perfect player 🙂

                  For some reason this forum gives me error when I try to post a pic of my desktop, but if I try posting screenshot with for example, firefox window open, it's fine 🤔

                    algent Huh didn't really think that because pic wtih firefox open loaded just fine. But maybe it was cropped a bit for some reason. Anyway, here I go

                        George BSPWM is great. I've mainly been living in BSPWM and Spectrwm lately. Occasionally back to Budgie to keep in touch, but having lots of fun in tiling window managers these days.


                          I've just come across Solus today, in the hopes of giving an old sluggish PC new wings. Not only is it running smoother, the OS is sleek and smooth, really nice to get around, while being simple enough to be pleasant. I'm glad I found it and looking forward to getting to know it better.
