The btop dialogue was taking on a life of it’s own so I split it out to it’s own topic:
Try this one instead.
You’re currently trying to compile the latest development version (xlivebg-git
), which may require editing source files.
Unless you’re comfortable doing that, it’s better to stick with the stable package.
Uh, ffmpeg4.4
and Orphaned
package? Not really, I guess…
EDIT: Tried and it has the same incompatible pointer types error. Oh well, maybe the developer will fix the issue. It’s not important enough for me to repair it myself.
Not really an app but for those who use local LLM’s :
ChatQT (and optionally OllamaControl)
Quite minimalist but allow for a quick prompt via keybind (or clicking it)
Not so recently, more a long time user of Readeck.
Readeck is a lightweight self-hosted bookmark service.
Old ls/cd/filemanager that keeps improving
How does it feel compared to nnn
?
Ah - nevermind, I got it .. its more visual/pretty.
Also, there is Yazi another fast textbased file manager
Not recent but since starting windows to linux back at the beginning of 2024 I started storing my notes in obsidian and using syncthing to carry them between machines and my phone. All linux projects go in there so I can easily duplicate and troubleshoot what I’ve already dealt with. I also use edge copilot to format in markdown. I just tell it to clean it up for obsidian and it makes it look nice and I learn markdown as I review it.

A lot of people probably already know this one but since i didn’t see it in this topic.
Great for people who don’t use git too often, don’t want to bother with git commands or just want a nice and easy to read UI.
RSS Guard is a small rss reader. In my case it pulls feeds from FreshRSS. But other services like Feedly are supported.
ctop if you have a lot of containers in use
Thanks to @joekamprad i now use Scrycpy

How did you install slabtop? I do not see it in arch or aur repository.
Try
sudo slabtop
More info here
It might be mentioned that /usr/bin/slabtop
is provided by the procps-ng
package - which you should already have installed because it is a dependency of base
.
