recently I felt that poppler renders pdf slow. I have found a replacement for epdfview or zathura -- mupdf.
This tiny pdf viewer uses some vim keybinds and renders really fast.

You should try llpp. It's basically mupdf with extra features.

thanks to the people that mentioned rox-filer

awesome app - love it

Trilby · 2011-12-01 05:11:36

Glad to see the comments on Rox. I was baffled at first to not see it on the list.

Next to Arch itself, Rox is the one thing I've put on my computer that made me both extremely happy and angry at the same time - angry in wondering "Why didn't anyone tell me about this before?! How did they let me use anything else?!"

If you can, please clean up the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ROX article. The style is too informal for the wiki, thus it has been marked as poorly written.
Expanding it a bit wouldn't hurt either.

I opened a discussion on the rox wiki. I'd appreciate input from other rox users.

FVWM plays in the same weight class as Openbox and offers a lot of power and fine-grained control. You can get a lot of clever functionality without larding it up with additional programs.

I started using ranger this year; great program.
I've also been finding more and more handy uses for netcat.

echo.unity · 2011-12-06 10:48:34

Put my vote in for mupdf - blazing fast, next to no dependency's .

nomilieu · 2011-12-09 02:39:58

Another program that is great (yet I hear very little about):

remind

saad · 2011-12-26 07:59:43

Is Santa late this year or what? it's already 12/26/2011 in here, where are the final results?

bwat47 · 2011-12-26 18:43:21

LXDM, looks pretty nice and starts faster than lightdm, and is more up to date than slim.

Zucca · 2011-12-26 20:01:26

Qtfm would be great if it had volume management (or does it now?).

anonymous_user · 2011-12-27 00:30:26

No it doesn't have volume management. But why not use something like devmon or udiskie for that?

taylorchu · 2011-12-27 04:26:13

i posted the Lnf 2011 result.
i also dropped stuffs with only 1 vote.

r=result.txt
:> $r
:> all
:> all2
echo "[b][u]LnF 2011 result[/u][/b]" >> $r
echo " - Generated by Tai-Lin Chu" >> $r
echo "" >> $r
all=$(cat orig.txt | grep [\t]  | tr -d '. ' | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z')
for i in {2..35}; do
	: > tmp
	title=$(cat orig.txt | sed -n 1p | cut -f $i)
	entry=$(echo "$all" |  cut -f $i | sed '1d' | sed 's|(.*)||g' | tr ',+/' "\n" | sed '/^$/d')
	uentry=$(echo "$entry" | sort -u)
	echo "[b]$title[/b]" >> $r
	for word in $uentry; do
		count=$(echo "$entry" | grep "^$word$" | wc -l)
		if [[ $count > 1 ]]; then
			echo "  $word: $count" >> tmp
			echo "  $word: $count - $title" >> all
		fi
	done
	sort -k 2,2 -n -r tmp >> $r
	echo "" >> $r
	echo "" >> $r
done
echo "[b]Overall (top 30)[/b]" >> $r
sort -k 2,2 -n -r all >>  all2
head -n 30 all2 >> $r

Yeah. Need to try them. Thunar is too much designed to be used with desktop environment. Although it comes with great tool: Bulk Rename.

Terminal Emulators

Not sure, but aren't those two the same?

Earnestly · 2011-12-27 12:09:57

Exactly the same.

karol · 2011-12-27 14:28:45

Thanks for posting the results. Maybe for 2012 we could come up with a way to tell users to name apps in an uniform way e.g. xfce v xfce4.

Earnestly · 2011-12-27 17:34:40

Apparently using the package name wasn't enough.

2. please enter the EXACT same package name(or group) shown in the arch package repository.

"Light & Fast apps" should probably be "Apps you use and like"

There still might be a problem with cdrtools, cdrkit, wodim and cdrecord.

We have a similar problem in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ta … _common.3F

Or we could blacklist gimp, firefox and libreoffice so that when someone tries to enter those, the spreadsheet doesn't let them.

a merge list

Zucca · 2011-12-28 00:09:55

Also merge urxvtc and urxvtd to urxvt.

karol · 2011-12-28 00:14:05

wodim is provided by cdrkit.

Questions:
* Display/Login Managers: what about coreutils, bash, none & login? Are the first three a viable answer?
* Shells: neither rxvt-unicode nor terminal belong here. What's this 'bin' thing?
* Can you burn a CD with 'dd'?
* Is chromium an e-mail client?
* Is rcconf (rc.conf?) a network manager?

I'm pretty sure you cannot burn a CD with 'dd'.
