I find incrond works way better.

Well yes I thought you were using emulators. When I was a kid I would frequently break X11 so I spent much of my time on the console framebuffer. All I needed it to to is let me watch TV and videos till I was bothered to fix the config file for X

None.

Why? Erm, living by myself I don’t need to lock myself out ;)

Look up chroot

Mplayer can render to the terminal using aalib

Yes I have used that in the past but it’s way to finniky in operation as it sometimes registers a left or right click instead.

Put your aliases in .bash_aliases

Make sure your .bashrc sources .bash_aliases like this:

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then . ~/.bash_aliases fi

I’ve tried hard to get libreoffice and dvddisaster to render in a terminal but for some reason it never works… 😏

Middle click in chrome…

If you want to use ctrl-v you need to the newer method of ctrl-shift-c first. It uses shift for the same reason windows does in a command prompt, ctrl-c is a reserved combination.

Not a Linux issue. Two different paradigms one older than the other, chose which is best to use.

On my laptop’s I use ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v due to not having a middle click. With a mouse I middle click instinctively.

Many like myself don’t like the old idea of downloading stuff that “just runs”. It’s too much going back to the old ways with windows where you randomly just downloaded a binary off a website and ran it.

Basically it’s the equivalent of sideloading apps on mobile devices. I won’t do that either unless it is required.

Now I do have one such app, in appimage which is my preference anyway. KDEnlive, which I run as an appimage Vs the Debian package only because I’m on Debian 10 on my main machine and have yet to pencil in the upgrade time.

Now, GNU Guix is interesting. Cryptographically secure and verified compilation (or pre-compilation) of source code straight from GitHub etc. Now, that will be more like it!
