@alina personally I can also recommend good #CLI tools that just work.

• #mc (#MidnightCommander)
• #neomutt
• #aewan (for designing #TUI interfaces)
• #enc
• #btop
• #ytdlp
• #lynx / #LynxBrowser
• #curl
• #toybox (which is a minimalist #userland for #Linux)
• #ne (nice editor)
• #nvChad (when you want to turn #neovim into an #IDE but don't know where to start)

And many more.

• Cuz I work on the idea of a #MDA / #80x25-centric Linux-distro (@OS1337) that is focussed on #FrugalComputing!

if like me your favorite GUI file manager is #Thunar I learned a handy trick from @itsfoss newsletter, hit 'F3' and you have a split screen file explorer similar to my favorite CLI file explorer #MidnightCommander

Drogo sobie liczą za coś, co już od dawna jest za darmo... #linux #midnightcommander

Why did i forgot #mc ( #midnightcommander )? Such a great Tool if you have to deal with lots of unknown directory structures (aka ThirdParty archives) and need to move or mix and merge arbitrary filebases. Surely didnt used it since 10 Years but my fingers still know all the shortcuts and command keys. Crazy...

@federicomena Team #MidnightCommander !

@debacle Thanks for suggesting #poezio. It supports #OMEMO, and theme-wise, it will fit right in next to #mutt / #neomutt, #jed, and #midnightCommander. 😻

@_DigitalWriter_ Der #MidnightCommander ist nicht nur eine schöne Erinnerung an alte Zeiten unter DOS, sondern auch ein wirklich gutes Tool. Ich bin ja sehr gerne auf der Kommandozeile unterwegs, aber Du hast völlig Recht -- Dateimanagement mit den Tool macht einfach Spaß!

Viele Aufgaben - z. B. Docker-Stuff - erledige ich zunehmend via SSH. Im Unterschied zu langjährigen Terminal-Linux-Leuten bin ich ja eher der Desktop-Typ und habe die vielen Parameter für Dateioperationen nicht parat.

Daher installiere ich immer kurz Midnight Commander, obwohl ich nur 1 % der vielen Funktionen nutze. Aber gerade Dateien verschieben usw. gelingt mir dadurch besser.

@smxi I didn't used #xfce for years now, may be I can take a look on it but it will probably switch to #wayland one day too :ablobcatwave:

From #kde I'm only using #kate, #konsole and #krusader
#kate and #konsole I can easily find an alternative I think
For #krusader all other file manager I've tried didn't provided me any satisfaction except #midnightcommander that I use most of time (more often than krusader in fact...)

Or I can choose X11 from SDDM login but it's probably just a matter of time before being stuck and forced to use wayland...

Years ago I was greedy to test and experiment distro & desktop environments, switching from one to another one was not a problem.
The thing is now, I just want to use my computer, I don't have the time anymore for that, neither the patience :ablobcatknitsweats:

@elfin @tantacrul @fuchsiii whereas with #Nautilus and even #MidnightCommander do it better…

Remplacement des 4 anciens disques dur de 8To du #truenas avec 3 nouveaux disques de 16To. j'ai exploré la solution d'utiliser #midnightcommander pour copier les fichiers efficacement entre les pool #zfs, car juste besoin de copier certains répertoires. La copie est toujours en cours... le résultat demain matin 🤞🤞

I have buildin bug hunting attributes

Check out the linked toot. The display of oosplash and soffice.bin is on the GPU of my SBC. I am logged in via ssh on another computer. I expected that when Midnight Commander invoked the soffice.bin program for pdf as default editor, it would do an X export to the remote desktop I logged in from since the switches are -Xv2

Firefox did that gorgeously gkrellm does it well also.

In this case I got the splash initially on my remote machine (so desktop of ssh originator) but the rest was shown on SBC native desktop

The Pi5 runs wayland, but that can't have anything to do with the error, since gkrellm & firefox spawn properly on the ssh originator

I will investigate this phenomenon further. If anyone can react with similar experiences please do, with explicit details

#nnn #midnightcommander #ranger #lf #cli

@RichardINSorge ich bin alt genug für #nortoncommander, heute eher #midnightcommander aber so oft nutze ich gar keinen mehr.

@jhx almost 90 across 5 docker hosts. #ghost #plex #vaultwarden, #mattermost #freshrss #postgres #mysql #shellngn #midnightcommander #sonarr #radarr #grafana #influx #nginx #npm #adguard to name a few

I suppose maybe im the only person who still prefers good ole #MidnightCommander to other file managers but TIL mc has absolutely terrible handling extracting 7z files which has been my prefered backup format for the past could of years.

Something to do with extfs and the extraction command needing to run on each file rather then the archive as a whole.. I dont really understand it but the end result is that archives with lots of small files like .log or .jpgs will just slow to a crawl.

So i guess I’m going to switch back to Tarballs. My reason for using 7z originally was based on how it worked from command line. Its not like I can’t just manually extract the files, but if I’m using MC then i kind of expect a certain type of behavior.

Ah well
