IDE and Terminal

Neovim is an program that runs in a terminal. You can use it to edit text files and through plugins it can become a fully fledged IDE. The site you linked actually tells you to install Neovim as a package in Termux.

To be clear: Neovim is not a Terminal Emulator. It is not even an Android App. It runs on Android in Termux (and probably other apps), but not on its own.

Termux is afaik the best Terminal Emulator for Android, it includes a package manager with a lot of Linux CLI utilities (like Neovim) available.

For Java there is an apparently fully Fledged IDE available in F-Droid. For Python I’d suggest installing python in Termux and developing and running python scripts from there.

Torrent

I use Torrent Client. It works, but it hasn’t been updated in 2 years and I don’t know how secure it is. I mostly Torrent on my Linux Desktop PC.

E-Book Reader

I use KOReader which is more optimized for E-Readers, but it has a very clean UI and works great for me. It is also actively developed.

Signal is currently the best middleground between security, simplicity and widespread adoption.

its probably easier to debug the issues you currently have, than dealing with the suckness of imparative package management

if the hardware is not working with the linux kernel, its bad hardware

gnome not opening the keyboard when i focus an input, has nothing to do with the hardware

idk about op, but if i asked about a good linux tablet, i would mean the hardware not the software

for me a good linux tablet means i can take my favorite linux distro, install it without big hassle and have a good performing computer with all components working afterwards

while good performing can be interpretable

nix like in nixos?

three solutions:

• enable flatpak and install it from there
• package it
• ask me to package it

Nixpkgs is actually one of the most up to date software repositories. (~90% according to repology)

You may be using a release channel which will only be updated for important security updates.

nice

i remember nuking my windows dual boot about 2 years ago

pretty similar story: i discovered almost all my games work with wine, so i didn’t use windows for a few month. eventually i didn’t see any point in keeping it around.

the proprietary drivers work pretty great on X11 for me

yes and no

FOSS games are good and fun, but to deliver a AAA game with a near-realistic 3D Graphics and a good several hour-lasting story, you kinda need some funding. I would be all for a concept where a game is open source, but you need to pay for the textures, meshes, voiceovers, in game dialog strings and similar stuff that is not code.

but i don’t want to lose my ability to play minecraft

(yes i know about minetest)

lol wine and cygwin inception

“Dark Background and Light Text” is much faster than Dark Reader.

you could install your favorite distro with all your customizations and needed programs on a flash drive and use that as a rescue system

nope, that is probably window manager specific, i’m using i3, but any keyboard shortcuts get disabled when a window grabs the pointer anyway, i found a solution and updated my post

Maybe once I am a bit more used to reading and understanding documentation for large existing libraries and programs.

This is exactly what I needed, thanks!

do you know Bibata cursors?

i like them more than Breeze, but Breeze is my second favorite of all cursor themes i know

• Papirus Icon Theme (Dark)
• Bibata Cursor theme (Modern Ice)
• Materia GTK Theme (Dark-compact)
