And when stuff changes, I'm not dependent on projects that might not have maintainers anymore and are basically abandoned getting moved to new frameworks.

"A file manager that looks like it's from the 21-st century." What do you mean by that statement? So it's more important to you how a piece of software looks than how it functions? Is this to give a good impression to people who might be looking over your shoulder at you using your computer? It just really seems to be a strange thing to say, especially when the core of Linux is very much rooted in UNIX from the 1980's.

So what what did you do before mpv? Tbh regular old mplayer is fine for me, but I do like the Gnome-Mplayer frontend because it has control options to change the brightness; very useful when watching movies where scenes are too dark. Yes I could change the brightness in the monitor, but then I would change it back after the movie is done.

Whenever I'm on Linux, I usually pull zsh and oh-my-zsh, but I've lately moved things over to fish. However with most apps, I've become too lazy to configure them. Give me a good default and let me tweak it and I'll be happy. If the default isn't useful for me, I usually don't use the app (which is also why I'm probably not going to use any Vim-alikes as my text editor, I'm just too lazy to learn a text editor). Other than that: tmux, ffmpeg for the ocasional version conversion, yt-dlp and Docker. Also call me a pleb, but for the initial go, I do enjoy a GUI-based configuration. I would like it to be backed by a simple config file that can be tweaked.

This functionality I found in Pot player (doesn't support linux) with the num keys keybindings, i.e. 8 and 2 to increase/decrease the height , 6/4 to decrease/increase the width

For me it's Alacritty and Zellij (Interestingly they both happen to be written in Rust). I don't need Alacritty to have a built-in terminal multiplexor because Zellij is super intuitive especially when used with Neovim. I don't like switching tools or distro hopping. I like to stick to one thing and learn it. I like tools that work right out the box, until I care enough to start customising them to my workflow. If I have to go through 10+ lines of config to get a volume button or basic function to work, I'm downloading something else.

The main issue I find with Alacritty is that it doesn't support keyboard disambiguation protocols - so several key combinations (some appearing in the default VIM config, for example) simply don't work. I think one was ALT+H. That's basically the only reason I switched to kitty.

You can set up hotkeys to load and unload these shaders on command as well.

Rofi is my key application since I live in tiling window managers. I do a lot of interaction with my system using it, window switching, power menu, file explorer in a jiffy, installed apps menu, etc. Arch is the distro that gives me that piece of mind and ease of use, and I mean vanilla Arch not Arch-based distros, Qtile had been for a few years my prefered twm (having pleyed around with quite a few) until recently, now Hyprland has taken its place. I used to use sxhkd but reverted back to having my keybinding inside Qtile config, meant less things to install. I like a slim but fully functional system. And for me, Arch has been extremely reliable, when that Grub fiasco hit last year, it didn't touch me being on Systemd-boot.

Hearing you list all the things you "don't need" in a video player, I'm shaking my head and groaning because mpv has all those things too. It just doesn't come with a user interface out of the box (for that, I use SMPlayer). But the most frustrating thing, is that you don't even mention why mpv is BETTER than VLC. Things like how it has vastly superior frame timing. VLC averages fps for a video, so if the framerate varies a lot VLC will play it wrong.. But mpv can actually play back everything accurately. Not only that, but mpv is the ONLY video player with _proper_ colorspace conversion built in. You can even have it bake multiple LUTs that get loaded dynamically, that specifically converts from various video standards to your EXACT display specifications (assuming you have a colorimeter and have used it to properly profile your display). The MacOS version of Quicktime also has support for using a display profile, but the Windows version doesn't (from what I hear), and honestly? I don't have a Mac, but I've seen how much effort mpv's developers have put into the correctness of their algorithms and I _suspect_ that Apple has likely taken many more shortcuts than mpv's developers have. I used to love VLC, but when I found out how much better mpv is for frame-accurate and color-accurate playback (VLC still can't go back or forward one frame at a time in a video, something mpv and even KZbin can do), I ditched it hard. Besides, mpv has video conversion and other utilities. They're part of ffmpeg, which mpv uses for its backend. However, in general mpv is somewhat more limited than ffmpeg, so it's recommended to just use ffmpeg.

I must be one of the most 'normie-est' Arch Linux user. I installed it the manual way, set up secureboot with my own self made keys, fscrypt encrypted my f2fs drive and even compiled my own kernel with patches from Intel's Clear Linux project .etc But I use GNOME 45 with my personal small selection of GNOME software, even installed a modified Gnome-Software-Centre that can update pacman packages, Flatpak GUI apps are prioritized over native ones wherever possible. Even got the Plymouth boot animation screen. GTK 4 apps are preferred, for other GTK/Qt apps I use a libadwaita theme to match GNOME 45. The upside to this is that Steam and Firefox no longer "disobey" XDG protocols by having dotfiles in the home dir when they're in their own little containers in ~/.var ! It looks like a super-generic corporate workstation and for some reason I like the 'sleeper' look of it.

I experimented with Enlightenment for a bit, it was mostly an unstable disaster, but it's going to be hard to get me away from Terminology.

As much as I love VLC, I'm gonna say it: It's absolute ass on anything that isn't desktop Windows/MacOS. MPV/celluloid(which I wouldn't bother with if MPV just had a friggin open file/location button) everywhere else(where applicable). As far as terminal, I go with Kitty(alacritty is nice too). not because I need all that functionality, but because it is very light and the native image preview thing is nice if you decided to use ranger for a file manager. I kinda prefer fish as my shell. Of course I have to have OBS and steam. virtually everything else can pound sand because things like browsers tend to be generic enough that it doesn't matter what I use most of the time and I really only need the one media player. there are other things that are nice to haves, but I can live without, like yt-dl(or insert fork here), lutris, and so on.

Kitty has multi platform support as well and its the terminal i can live without. I have some fancy hacked together font. That does a lot of fancy terminal visuals for zsh + plugins which doesnt play nicely with alacritty. I tried alacritty + tmux using it and I found it generally buggy especially with passing sudo through and kitty just works out of the box. Also I dont what it is but kitty does text rendering real pritty and i have used it preview fotos since I use my own very roided up nvim config to do dumb things like foto viewing. But alacritty is honestly a great project as well and thats what makes linux great. There is an option for everyone even if what you do can objectively be considered stupid.

I love alacrity, but I REALLY am a ligatures fanboy, I just can't use it, which is very annoying because it's objectively better than most terminals. I'm using konsole rn, it's nice too

Sorry to bother! I need some help. My problem is that I keep my scripts in the ~/.local/bin folder, and they can execute from anywhere in the terminal. However, when I launch dmenu or rofi, these tools do not read any of my scripts in the ~/.local/bin folder; they only read the scripts I wrote in /usr/local/bin. The weird thing is that dmenu only reads my scripts if I execute dmenu_run through the terminal, but with a keybind, none of the scripts are visible.
