I think you may be looking for a programmable keyboard.

With one, you can have arrow keys on the home row like vim, and make other universally recognized keys easy to reach including Home, End, PgUp, PgDn, App (right click), and all the modifiers. Some also build pointing devices into the keyboard as well.

I primarily use the Unicorne by Boardsource.

Interesting research project but it’s not Linux and doesn’t natively run Linux apps.

Watching history repeat itself.

I use Asahi as a server OS on a Mac Mini where it works great. Have not tried it as a desktop.

We do need bees, but that doesn’t mean the honey industry is sustainable.

Ironically, the part of Perl that looks most cursing is the regular expressions, and that’s the feature that so many modern languages have borrowed from Perl directly.

This seems as much about converging Android and ChromeOS as anything.

Thanks! I’ll give this a try.

Spoken like a wise elder!

You could add a feature request in the Fuzzel bug tracker. A screenshot of how it is used in Fuzzel could be helpful there.

There is a newish “placeholder text” option. It could be displayed there and disappear when typing starts.

Yes. The message could be added to the prompt but it wouldn’t look the best.

I discovered this more than a year ago, but Fuzzel.

I just wrote about the new release here:

That’s right! We are just waiting for someone to focus a pinentry/fuzzel script now. All the necessary features are there it seems.

This is somewhat re-inventing some things Ansible can do, which is download and install software whether it has a formal or informal source.

Ansible is the automation I use to manage personal and professional servers.

For all the cases where musk might have advantages.

I like that musl helps build smaller containers. And sometimes I need systemd in a container.

As a former Ubuntu user, I’m more likely to try Fedora Silverblue at this point.

I like Podman so swapping it out for LXD isn’t compelling.

Maybe start over with whole kernel OS in Rust?

I use Zathura. I like that it has option to be completely borderless with some vim-like navigation.

Makes a fine PDF viewer. Nice for tiling window managers.

Framework clarified they are looking for people who already own Frameworks and are already attending Linux events and happy to talk to people about their laptop. They’re not really asking people to do anything additional, but they will be giving them some free merchandise.
