Trying this on Kubuntu 24.04.02

  1. Music: https://cmus.github.io/#documentation

    • sudo apt-get install cmus

    • man cmus suggests :a ~/Music to add tracks to library

    • but no output plugins to play stuff

    • Arch Wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Cmus#Using_cmus_with_ALSA suggested creating rc file to work with Alsa (that I new was installed)

      ```
      ~/.config/cmus/rc
      set output_plugin=alsa
      set dsp.alsa.device=default
      set mixer.alsa.device=default
      set mixer.alsa.channel=Master
      ```
  2. Feed reader: https://github.com/veeso/tuifeed

    • curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSLf "https://git.io/J1O0Z" | sh

    • Determined deb install appropriate.

    • post install configure with tuifeed -c

    • Didn’t work, which is anticipated by the README, so edit $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tuifeed/config.toml

    • Kubuntu has $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS instead of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, may be relevant?

    • Sure enough export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.config, then edit the config (still needs manual edit).

    • But after that, works fine.

  3. System monitor: https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop

    • sudo apt install bpytop

    • Happy Dayz

  4. Editor: neovim + Kickstart

    • https://github.com/tstephen/kickstart.nvim/tree/master

    • sh sudo add-apt-repository ppa:neovim-ppa/unstable -y sudo apt update sudo apt install make gcc ripgrep unzip git xclip neovim luarocks sudo apt install fonts-noto-color-emoji

    • no explorer tho, hence try lunarvim…​

    • uninstall sh mv ~/.local/share/nvim/ ~/.local/share/nvimi.dis/ mv ~/.config/nvim ~/.config/nvim.dis

    • Managed to install https://github.com/nvim-tree/nvim-tree.lua into init.lua but actually <leader-sf> (search file) using telescope is probably better

  5. Editor: LunarVim (1.4.0 as of May 24)

  6. LLMs: parllama

  7. LLMs: tenere

  8. Email: Himalaya

  9. Email: NeoMutt

  10. Email: meli

    • apt install meli didn’t work on Ubuntu 24.04

    • also needs mail to be already available
