I see you with your CLIs. What are you doing?
sudo apt update
sudo pacman -Syu
This is my real answer lol. All I ever run on my chomebook is this and a web browser.
run htop and just occasionally switch to an editor with some syntax highlighting on random code and people will know youre a elite haxor.
four pane terminal: top left running
htop, top right showing the commit history for a gnarly repo, bottom right just runningcat /dev/urandom, bottom left is acowsayscript reciting the dialogue of “Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace”
No Sudo apt update. sudo dnf upgrade -y && sudo flatpak upgrade -y
sudo apt upgrade
steamos-readonly disable
sudo pacman -Syyu
steamos-readonly enable

i write comments on lemmy
There actually is a TUI client for Lemmy
If you’re asking specifically what the terminal windows I have open right now are for:
- Shelled into a raspberry pi, running top to evaluate whether this project needs a better CPU than the Pi Zero W has.
- vim, editing some Perl script that will go onto the pi.
- a terminal that I forgot I had open.
I think I used it yesterday for editing some systems stuff.I used to to run sed to replace a bunch of strings in a file. - ffplay rtsp://192.168.80.11/live (watching my printer to make sure the current print doesn’t turn into spaghetti)

I really need to check out Carbonyl. How well does it handle very low end machines?
Basically anything that isn’t a Web browser.
Laptops are toxic to your cervical spine. There’s no solution where the laptop’s open and you’re not gonna pay the price later.
Tell me more. I’ve noticed I use my laptop a lot more often nowadays, but usually follow good ergonomics.
At work I have a laptop, a high end virtual workstation, and then a target machine which is in a different city than I am. I typically have 3 tmux sessions open, one for each machine, each split into a left and a right pane.
On my local session I have Helix open for notes and things on the left and a bash terminal for misc work on the right. On my workstation session I have Helix on the left for coding and a bash session for building on the right. On the target machine session I have the left pane open to bash for starting/stopping the target devices and programs. The right pane is following logs.
For my personal setup, I have an e-waste Thinkpad often in a similar style except that instead of a virtual workstation it’s my personal desktop that I connect to for large builds. I use it to write, do some hobby coding, 3D printing, chat with friends over Matrix and Discord, plan gaming sessions, play music, etc.
Edit: Added links
I use it to ssh into my desktop every time I reboot because the SDDM systemd unit has to be restarted manually. Light DM had the same problem. It’s annoying, but running Arch on Proxmox with GPU passthrough isn’t easy to troubleshoot with so many variables especially when Proxmox is set up to be headless.

Tmux, vim and htop working on trying to get power consumption down on a solar powered phone webserver at the moment.
I think I may need a bigger battery or just break down and use a solar controller.
At work, its endless pip and npm shenanigans.
Hacking the Gibson
If you see me in public I’m usually chaining a bunch of tunnels together in some odd way to get around the poorly configured WiFi and actually secure my traffic.
