In the past I have found myself working with laptops with few resources and small screen (eeepc). Every pixel gained was a big win, and finding equivalent lightweight, high-performance applications could make all the difference. Eventually I found the optimal solution with i3 as windows manager and alacritty was the best terminal to use together (and zsh). Since then even though I have no real need I have continued to use this approach. And in the end being careful about pc resource consumption is also an ethical choice, if the pc consumes less power it is a gain for the environment.
In my case it's resource consumption, efficiency the impact with the windows manager I use, how much is keyboard controllable. It seems strange to me that a linux user uses the default applications. The beauty of linux is the huge variety and the ability to customize. If you use allova ready-made things, a mac or windows is fine too
what is the best linux terminal? I have been using alacritty for years and have been doing well. But I don't think kitty and st. I was wondering if any new projects have come out in recent years.
icecat is based on the LTS version, iceweasel the rolling-release. I have been using iceweasel for almost a year and all the sites I have used work
nobody uses iceweasel? For those who don't know, it is the version of firefox cleaned up by non ‘libre’ code mainly from debian and then taken over by parabola linux. For me it is the best together with mullvad.
