Realised I never responded to this - I’ll hold the L on that reasoning, didn’t think that through. I grant that you may be right about the stars, but I’m still doubtful due to my anecdotal experience of seeing a lot of activity around the repo + discord server from 4k stars to over 10k (while I was following it semi-closely). Entirely possible though, of course.
To be fair this is a terminal file manager… only a certain kind of person will be interested in the first place, and those people are likely to be more inclined to leave a star on GitHub.
Personally I believe the stars were achieved naturally but of course there’s no way to know and it never hurts to be skeptical.
Other people have given great reasons, but I will also mention that as someone who lives inside the terminal it’s often faster and easier to open it right there rather than getting a GUI one going. I do still use one for things that are easier to do with a graphical file manager though, no problem having both
That’s because it works very well, and the main developer is super active (I’ve contributed and made some plugins so have interacted with them a fair bit)
I mainly use it inside neovim actually, in place of the built in file manager or a file tree. Also use it if I want to quickly see the image files in a directory (it shows the images in the terminal), or rename a bunch of files. And then rarely for other file related activities as it makes exploring a directory very smooth
Fair play with taking the time to learn nix, currently tinkering with it and this stuff is no joke. Wish it wasn’t a DSL
Thanks hope you like it.
It parses files from different launchers like Steam or Bottles preaent on your system, and when the game is selected, it will spawn the command for launching the game directly via e.g. a steam command to launch that specific game ID. It doesn’t interact with desktop shortcuts in any way if that’s what you mean, though that is how it started
Definitely not, Civ 5 and Skyrim are still my highest play times and they’re not there. Not to mention many of those games I’ve played only a handful of hours
Not sure how Steam orders the games actually but yes, amazing game and definitely in my top 5 (with mods of course)
Ty 🙏 I find I usually know what game I actually want to play, and just typing in that name to filter for it lets me mostly ignore other games and not feel bad for avoiding them lol
Np hope you get as much use out of it as I do
Awesome, hope you like it (and it works lol). It’s easy to install on Arch as I created an AUR package but a bit more involved for other distros, as you’ll need to clone the repo and use just to install. I should probably look into releases with the plugin file already compiled…
Yeah good idea, might cross post to !linux_gaming@lemmy.world
Link should be set on the post now
Edit: I understand now - can’t have the image AND a link - moved the link to the body of the post to keep the image
No sorry - looks like the link didn’t get set. It’s at https://github.com/Rolv-Apneseth/rofi-games
Does that make the entire window have a lower opacity i.e. the text too? If so, do you find it distracting?
Damn, cleannn. How did you get everything to have translucency, I only have it for my terminal emulator and bar
I couldn’t get goofcord to work on Wayland but webcord works great
Personally I like plain markdown files, using zk + zk-nvim + git.
If anyone else uses a similar setup, any good git + markdown setups for mobile? Primarily for reading, as I can’t see myself writing much on a mobile keyboard
