because Lemmy creates those guys

I confess, I’m perhaps complicit in that.

… And there are a lot more of those random guys around now.

no one got the joke/reference?

Heh. Seems from https://github.com/sinelaw/fresh/releases?page=11#release-v0.1.1 fresh is even newer than fin (by a couple months). … Except their devs didn’t burn out after a month. :D

Didn’t know about it. As with dozens more also not fit into the image.

So you’re the one.

if only implementation were the problem.

I realised…

I wasn’t going to do that.

And I was only using Artix for the AUR.

So I stopped using Artix.

Not responsible enough.

Responsible enough to stop.

Ask not how worthy an idol Linux is, but what you can do to give back to free software.

In a universe of enshitification, Linux is one of the few things that consistently gets better.

Try telling that to someone who had a spinning cube desktop on their 386 or 486.

since that was 10 hours ago, i presume you’ve already searched to discern tui means terminal user interface, … if that’s what your query was about.

mcedit came before your “MCEdit”.

same as bedrock linux came before bedrock version of minecraft for linux.

minecraft ((at least) twice) further confounded searches for the already obscure foss tools.

mc = midnight commander.

mcedit = midnight commander’s inbuilt text editor.

I often revisit the notion of making a linux distro with scant more than just mc (& mcedit).

Does kate have a tui mode?

… I may have to revisit it again, if it’s viable to use when simply ssh’d into another computer.

Hah. The text editor I wrote has that covered.

… ignore the bugs.

there’s an emacs mode for that

I think you have the skill to take this further, and make it interactive, clickable, explorable, even wiki’fied (or at least git’ified) to allow others to contribute too.

I noticed some were missing.

• BedrockLinux
• CRUX
• SLAX
• Tin Hat
• Hannah Montana
• KISS
• Carbs
• Exherbo
• … Okay, I’ll not exhaust this list with dozens more. ;)

Well done for including as many as did already. Was joyous seeing Slitaz made the lislt. :) A fave of the small distros.

Which text editor do you use?

• Emacs mostly
• sometimes fin for configs and some other small file tweaks and when developing/testing fin,
• sometimes mcedit just because it’s an awesome under sung hero of easy tui text editors. … beats nano imo.
• sometimes leafpad, like when i need some intermediary between things that are being stubborn to paste between
• rare neovim, like when i’m trying to learn neovim, or trying something that only neovim has
• rare nano… there are probably still times…
• once kate to see what it was like, I liked it, then I added the features I liked to emacs.

It’s worse than the picture depicts. It’s not just the lovers, the elitists and the evangelists, it’s the sheer range of choice too, beyond the loudest.

Oh. I didn’t even notice the Dr Pepper. … Also… I did not know there was any correlation between Dr Pepper and gentoo. I stopped my Dr Pepper addiction 5 years before I used gentoo. … I was on 4L a day for months, and didn’t realise I had a problem until I drank 9L in 24hr.

+1 for “-1 for non Lenovo machine”. [… unless it’s like tuxedo or system76 or something like that or some pure custom job on a different architecture]

and gnome
