This is the best app I’ve found in this year. Super fast and can do almost any task I need from file manger without slow GUI. Once you learn the navigation all the regular GUI managers feels slow to move back and forth.
I finally found Good FOSS alternative to Spotify.

usbguard, especially for a laptop. Prevents usb hijacking while you’re away.
Kooha for screen recording with audio available in the repos or as a flatpak, perfect for my needs.

Wooting’s Linux app and web app. Recently ordered a new keyboard to replace my failing MX keys. Really wanted to get the Wooting HE80 since it had super good software even on Linux. Sadly I need a wireless option.
Hopefully Keychron’s web app is decent.
17 posts were split to a new topic: Firefox, mullvad and open source software
Let’s say I re-discovered the benefits of the intel-media-driver package. Without it, playing a video used 35% of my puny Celeron; with it, 11%!

Which type of installation would be preferable? There is probably fooyin in the flathub first, but the AUR is also available in small letters.
There is a binary package available also

fooyin doesn’t take very long to build so I am using fooyin-git to get the latest changes.

Firefox Config option: widget.gtk.native-context-menus
Not an application. I know. However, if you really like your GTK theme, and you want Firefox to use your native context menu, setting this to true does this.
That said: it is unfortunately buggy for most of Firefox’s default context menu options. 
But it’s not buggy with my add-ons! 
There is one that I wish it didn’t have trouble with, and that is Pin Tab. This context menu option just doesn’t work when I enable this setting. Or maybe it’s just my GTK theme?
keyd - was using interception tools, but it was not running on some boots, leading to repeated reboots till it did.
I had looked at keyd before, but dismissed it because I have a laptop and not a fancy mechanical keyboard 
Examples of what it can do:
c = timeout(c, 500, C-c) # control+c
Tap gives c, hold (for 500ms) gives a Ctrl+c
leftcontrol = overload(control,macro(leftmeta+t))
Hold = control, tap = super+t (which launches my terminal).
capslock = overload(control, esc)
Capslock (the most useless key on the keyboard!) Hold = control, tap=escape.
c+x = macro(leftmeta+leftshift+c)
Press c+x (chord, together) generates super+shift+c, which is kcalc for me.
And I have only brushed the surface. Active and helpful github community is also a plus.

This is a custom Discord app which allows you to share your screen on Plasma Wayland.
I also recently found this. Works great. Still no overlay though, but then again it’s not a must-have feature.

Audacious.
Link: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=audacious
Never used it before the GTK3 updates because it used to look too ugly to me.
However, now that it can use either QT or GTK, it looks nice and simple. In fact, it has everything that Fooyin is looking to implement. The only real downside, possibly, is that it may not be as customisable, but I don’t need much:
- a wide playlist view
- album artwork if it’s available, but I also don’t really care
- customisable playlist columns
- ability to switch between playlists
- ability to search a folder within the app
- ability to search for a song in a playlist with CTRL+F
- ability to right-click and select “Open in system file manager”
It checks all those boxes.
Sadly, the documentation is not good for non-devs (like myself), so building the GTK version requires trial and error, and I haven’t figured that out yet. So, for now, I’m using the version from the official Repos that uses Qt.
Will try again over the weekend.
PS: Love that Fooyin is bringing back Foobar, though.

I switched back from fooyin to Audacious. Solid and good.
