apvlv for PDFs

feh for image viewing

imagemagick for image manipulation

ffmpeg for music

wordgrinder and sc for documents

nvim for editing

alacritty for terminal and starting stuff (Yes. I am a cave man)

transmission-gtk for torrents

ranger for file browsing, I use the (bash) shell for file management.

Yes, use default (sysvinit). It is rock solid and easy to use. Another choose (runit and openrc) is for those who know what they are doing.

Packages from external sources might alter files belonging to other packages, configure the system in unexpected ways, introduce vulnerabilities, cause licensing issues.  Once packages from unofficial sources are introduced in a system it can become difficult to pinpoint the cause of breakage especially if it happens after months. Anyway. This is your system. Do what you want

I use Amfora https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora  Amfora aims to be the best looking Gemini client with the most features... all in the terminal.

Also, you can check the simplest one- the AV-98 client. It's written in Python and runs in a terminal. AV-98 has no "strict dependencies", i.e. it will run and work without anything else beyond the Python standard library.

Thank you for the answer, Nili.

Great screen. As always. By the way, you may be able to compile the latest version of this program. You can compile with your user rights .... but you may need to install many dependencies (compiler, etc.) so I don't know if it's worth it.

Nice, Nili. I have a question. What version of your wm (cwm) are you using? 6.3-1? By the way, i also use ncal Here screen

And why do you use the sudo command for editing conky config in user dir?

Maybe, this is related to this?

I try to keep things very minimal, with almost nothing but my windows on screen (not even a desktop background) and just using Openbox's features, not adding a lot of docks, panels, icons etc. Not even a desktop wallpaper. This minimalism is what I like about Openbox - there's less to distract me and there's also less to configure and manage and less to go wrong. But I do add a handful of essentials, including a "Great Circle" Conky config, a system tray, an application launcher (rofi)  an Openbox theme (Arc-Dark), and my own Openbox configuration with my own keyboard shortcuts.

I can tell you about myself. I have no delays (in updates).

Finally. I finally had free time and I installed this amazing operating system ....

This is Openbox in Devuan Beowulf 3.0.0
