Let’s cooperate!

Direct message

some more tips:

· use bash key bindings and bind them to smt. like:

vim $(find ~/my-project | fzf)

· dmenu with a wrapper that sources an alias-file

lynx (when possible), fff, cmus, mutt, latex, core-utils, mupdf (vi like keybindings), sxiv, mpv (no-gui)

i only use gui programs if no cli option exists: js-browser, gimp

The more you learn about the original vision,. … it is kind of terrifingly brilliant and powerful. The architects knew exactly what they were doing. That’s why in the late 70’s they tried the keep it from the public! (you can send thx to rms - he opened it up for us)
