I didnt log in with a microsoft account. I only gave my user password for my account.

TPM is nice and all, but Micro$ encrypts your data without consent or a password. Which is insane.

My backup windows install literall bitlock-ed itself

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I made a list here, but it is a bit outdated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

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

Uses alacritty under the hood, with tabs and tiles!

It was easier than taking over zstd for sure

Has no filesystem sandbox whatsoever. They just pretend it is fine, causing uBlue devs and others to think it is okay to remove native Firefox

Btw how are they the only ones hopping on to XZ?? Like, everyone is switching to zstd currently.

I tried the ublue image, when it wasnt under the ublue name yet. Worked pretty great, I will test the current state soon!

Their ISOs are uninstallable. I wanted to test it, will need to to a #silverblue install and rebase… which #uBlue doesnt document ANYWHERE

I guess no Wayland support, which is pretty big
