Right? I’ve continued to use it without issues so far. If it does go south, what you thinking of switching to?

Some of us deal with the absurdity of our current reality through humour, don’t take it as them trying to undermine what happened

Love it, all it’s missing is a built-in monocle layout 🙏🙏

You were apparently correct haha

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.

Very, very clean

Might have needed the \s here

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!

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

I have 2 plugins for rofi on Linux and it’s true, no releases - best I can do for you is tags, take it or leave it

It was, in fact, just roasting itself
