Hey!

I’ve wanted something very similar—specifically, a plain-text database. I recently came across GNU recutils, which I haven’t had time to play around with yet, but which seems like it fits the bill (at least for me). There’s a couple YouTube videos on it—I encourage you to check it out!

Niflheim might one day be the name of an actual Nix-based distro…

Thank you! I was just suffering from this an hour ago…

Never heard of Aeon—I wonder if it will become as popular as the Fedora immutable distros?

Love fuzzel! Glad to see some much anticipated features!

+1 for the Terminus + zellij + helix combo

Not to add fuel to the flame by asking, but how’s it been on Guix? I’ve heard Guix does a lot of things better, but also that there’s far less packages and it’s harder on modern hardware.

I tried imv and hated it. I just use feh (through XWayland) or mpv now.

As if I needed more reasons to love Stephen Fry!

What’s that tablet it’s running on?

These look great!

I’d personally be curious, though, to experiment with non-standard input and UI designs on these phones. Although the touchscreen model has become standard, I’m not sure it’s ultimately the best for all things—I’ve been deeply enjoying my Garmin watch, for example, which has four buttons rather than a touchscreen. I think buttons, dials, etc., (besides simply feeling good to use) are faster for some things. If we’re gonna go against the grain, why not go crazy? I think physical buttons (or at least stuff like the back button on Android) may be to touchscreen interfaces what keyboard-centric workflows are to the mouse and GUI (in terms of efficiency).
