I like it, having migrated from previously using lemonbar.

Docs say “sort-of kind-of” it seems.

I’ve personally been using polybar for the last 2 years. A combination of the default modules, and then some custom scripts I’ve written.

I think that’s out of style. I think most people are using their bar to display the basics, and then just view detailed system info in terminal.

However I want to give FreeTube some love. Out of all the YT frontends, FreeTube has never failed me and always been a treat to use. I’ve used it on both Linux and Windows, and the experience is always reliable.

For smaller, headless applications I like Alpine. Containerized projects, VPS, etc.

The best crash course I received was when I needed to translate my startup scripts into systemd services. The hands-on learning was priceless.

If it can detect suspicious unfriendliness, then I’m really in trouble.

I’m a software engineer who was recently laid off.

Chase your dreams. The warehouse will always be there.

Famous last words of a software engineer who ends up working in a warehouse.

You’re asking the wrong question. The question is, “why not test drive a BSD installation, regardless?”
