Yes very possible

1. Open the konsole settings, enable “use a single process” (or something)
2. Copy the konsole desktop entry from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and change Exec=konsole to Exec=konsole --new-tab

I did this, works without issues

I guess rethinking the browser metaphor could help.

Like who tells you that ads couldnt just be displayed on an invisible popup window? Or a second screen?

Those sites generally detect if you dont load certain content. So I guess cosmetic filtering (downloading but not displaying) could already help

True, Mate is there too.

Yes I know that they all have some plans. But it has literally been 7 years!

It is soo crazy that there are still Cinnamon, Budgie, XFCE, LXDE and basically LXQt with no Wayland support.

While KDE and GNOME have it literally for years.

Fedora has Wayland by default for GNOME since 25, which is 7 years ago!

Edit: I know that the others have plans, but they are not ready, after 7 years!

LXQt is in theory usable but still shipped with XOrg. Cinnamon too, mainly XOrg, the Wayland session has issues like wrong keyboard layout (tried it). XFCE? No idea.

Yes but I am not that old and never saw it anywhere. So while it makes as much sense as hjkl it is not beginner friendly.

Nano is hella confusing too. Since when is ^ = Ctrl?

And why dont they tell you that Ctrl+S Ctrl+C Ctrl+X works?

You kinda chroot into a separate environment and have a shell in there.

So auto-indexing available shells, and coloring the terminal or something for every shell, would be useful

1. Distrobox, podman container support (listing, entering shell, color)
2. Never open new windows
3. Not GTK
4. Normal name
5. Not shady or proprietary

Otherwise Konsole, Cosmic-Term or “ptyxis” are both fine

I dont get why you shouldnt use fish to run your daily commands, and bash for the scripts. I rarely do anything fancy in the terminal that would be bash specific.

cuiiliste.de lol

As I said. Fish can just be a shell. I only write bash scripts. All bash scripts have #!/bin/bash at the beginning so it doesnt matter.

I dont know about fish errors. If something doesnt work, I enter bash and then run it again. I enter exit when I am done.

That does happen but the workaround is easy

Apart from that, instant suggestions, history, arguments and available commands already help a lot.

Celluloid can play music and videos, online video streams etc. It has support for MPV config files.

MPV uses X11 only afaik, so it relies on XWayland. It also likely has no portal and pipewire support.

So no MPV is not a “full player”

Fish is just a shell, you can still write and execute bash scripts

Fish is rewritten in Rust btw

Also the syntax is waay better, it should totally replace bash

Celluloid is honestly better than VLC. Native Wayland, Pipewire, no filesystem permissions (Flatpak)

I am on Fedora Kinoite, I replaced Kwrite with Kate, all the other default KDE apps are great. Okular, Gwenview as Flatpak, and apart from that a mix of different KDE, GNOME or 3rd party apps as Flatpaks.

I made a list here, but it is a bit outdated

https://github.com/boredsquirrel/recommended-flatpak-apps

1. You can always use man command and just read through it. If you want less text, use curl cheat.sh/command (learn how to use aliases) or the tools tldr and cheat
2. Install the fish shell, it makes using the terminal waaay easier, out of the box.
3. Install Alpaca flatpak, and use tinyllama or bigger LLM models. Tinyllama is already very sufficient at explaining linux commands and more, and runs fine on my reasonably powerful and modern laptop. Other models may be slow as fuck.
4. Use the terminal only. Log out, Ctrl+Alt+F2 and login, then use some tools.

$pwd
cd
echo
ls
cat
nano
less
more
chmod
chown
#your package manager
lsblk
dd #be careful!
udisksctl
lsusb
lspci
curl
wget
...

Note: use the man for these tools and often multiple tools do the same thing

5. There is this online terminal game/quiz but I cant find its name.

Interesting

Yeah DAITA is nice but at a high cost. Quantum resistant tunnels too but not so much.

I noticed that on german reduced cell data I get 0 connection when having DAITA or even just Quantum resistant tunnel activated, so I needed to turn it off.

Lol how many ISPs and VPNs do you have?

Note that DAITA EXTREMELY increases network bandwidth usage. Like it ate a few GB of data just doing nothing, an absolute cell data killer.

Looked at it, interesting, no package, installed cosmic-term instead

Uses alacritty under the hood, with tabs and tiles!

Never heard of a .application file

Normally you need a .desktop file

Wtf
