      VLC is so bad, IMO. There are so many things it does really badly or doesn’t do at all that any other alternative (like MPC) does well. It doesn’t help that it’s ugly as sin, too.

        What’s with the hate on VLC? It’s done more than what I’ve ever wanted. You can also use it to download YouTube videos and stuff. It’s the bees knees, man!

        MPC doesn’t run on Linux. That’s one point for VLC ;)

      I wish they’d fix and release the nightly. It so cool looking but there are quite some bugs still. Like performance, playlists, options not working and somehow it can’t play videos from my network, while release version can all of this…

        I too am a bleeding-edge addict. I would prefer worse acting software so long as it is beta (or better, alpha (or better, nightly)).

        So I wasn’t even aware VLC had solved these issues I’m still delighted to live with.

        Oh wow, they have a version that doesn’t look like it was made for XP? Sucks that it’s buggy.

        Are there any screenshots of the nightly? I’m curious if it looks good enough to switch back.

      I’m probably dumb and wrong, but I feel like Firefox is going in a bad direction along with Ubuntu.

      Like I think in 10 years there will be a business tier paid Ubuntu OS that ships with Firefox, and after like 3 or 4 iterations, it will be the IE of the future.

      Current Firefox user. Writing is on the wall. Looking for new browser. And OS.

          Lynx /s
          This comment was written through Lynx. No, seriously.

          Edit: I couldn’t add the screenshot via Lynx as it seems to attempt resolving “.”:
          Post "https://./pictrs/image": dial tcp: lookup . on 8.8.8.8:53: no such host.
          But anyway:

            Oh man, that brings me back. Lynx was really important back when GPU support for Linux was less good.

            Much time was spent navigating NVIDIA Website in Lynx trying different driver versions. Then the autogenerated Xorg.conf would always be wrong. Kids these days have it so easy. Get off my lawn.

            (Seriously though, I like this strange new world where Linux is super easy to set up)

          Out of all people here to ask that question to, you chose the worst one.

          Seriously, what made you decide that what they said makes them a good person to answer any question at all?

        I would love that future, to be honest. Currently, Chromium based browsers have no serious competition. Worst case, we can (and have already) forked Firefox (e.g. to Librewolf).

      I even use VIM on my phone (termux).

      I tried various GUI text editors on Android, but they tend to be buggy or hard to navigate. Then there’s the fact that I can just open a tmux session, detach, ssh into my phone and attach it.

        I’ve been using vim since it was just vi and I can’t even begin to think about using it on a virtual keyboard!

          Hacker’s Keyboard is a good Android keyboard for doing terminal stuff. It adds a lot of the keys you need to efficiently work in terminal. Only Android keyboard worth using.

    Standard stuff, though very few from my phone so I will focus there. On it, atm just things like RetroArch, Firefox, Geometric Weather, Blokada, and Amaze File Manager.

    I haven’t done any research at all, but if anyone wants to share: does anyone know of a good FOSS grocery store list kind of app for Android? Something that might still work without internet, I don’t care about synching anywhere else. Currently I use Listonic, mainly b/c I do not want to use Google Keep. There are some on F-droid so when I get time I’ll look into those.
