From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just tried it out, it is absolutely amazing. You can navigate, sort, search, manipulate so easily. Now that I know it, I need it everywhere. Thanks for the tip!

Really nice. Didn't think a "tree replacement" could actually make ranger obsolete.

Nice, looks like this could replace a bunch of tools including ncdu, df, exa, bat, feh etc.

Anyone know if I can get the highres image previews in foot? I think I saw something about foot supporting the kitty graphics protocol, but I can't get it to work. If I start it like normal I get low res previews, if I start it with TERM=kitty I get no previews.

What is your TERM when you start foot normally? I have noticed that chafa is able to output pixel perfect images if TERM=foot, but not otherwise

[–] aleq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's a promising idea, apparently my $TERM is not foot but xterm-256color by default. However starting with TERM=foot br or TERM=foot broot doesn't seem to enable high res previews. :(
