I’m living life in the virtual terminal, no graphical session, although the framebuffer does render graphics.
Really Nice.
Could you elaborate on what programs you use tot display PDF files and which browser you use?
w3m browser and I don’t really view pdfs in this setup. Most files are text files so I just use vim or bat. If I really needed to view pdf files I’d probably just use groff.
Thanks for the reply.
Did some further investigation. I’ve build fbpdf (https://github.com/aligrudi/fbpdf, with all the -lmupdf-* removed from the Makefile to make it build) and this works very well. With pipe-viewer I can watch YT video’s (which uses mpv under the hood).
Thanks for the inspiration.
I didn’t know about those. I’ll give fbpdf a try. As for YouTube, I tried to get videos working with mpv but it’s not happy for some reason. Works fine on my glibc void Linux laptop, just not on this one.
Nice. Are you posting to Lemmy from the terminal? Also how did you take this screenshot?
No, posting to Lemmy from my phone. I used fbgrab to take the shit and used a paste-bin script to post it to 0x0.st
Thumbs up! Living with just framebuffer has always been a big dream of mine!
I’m curious, are you able to display nerd glyphs and ligatures somehow? Or is it all just usual TTY font?
Afaik is just tty fonts, using terminus here.
Have you tried chawan browser? https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/
I haven’t. Looks cool, I’m give it a try. Thanks!
Looks great!
