tldr post ultra light software you use.

Excluding nonminmalist software here's my setup

Feh for Image viewing
mpv for video/audio
zathura for pdfs
xterm auto launching with htop or btop for task manager
xterm auto launching with nnn and or fzf for searching music, documents and videos
a bunch of custom wrappers in local bin calling mv, cp, ln, gio trash, ls, fd, rg, nnn, fish and unar for finding and sorting and archiving files in the cli
and micro, less, mdless and more from opening files in the cli
xpat2 and xsol for solitare also a few terminal games like vitris and moon buggy


and just found last night a feature rich code editor 'xnedit" that only uses 4.5mb-5mb of RAM. I'm planning on writing a new GIMP/GEGL plugin with it to replace Geany which is 25mb of rAM.
https://github.com/unixwork/xnedit

With 13.6 gigs of RAM and wrappers this stuff starts instantly, only milisecond delays outside of exceptions like Feh loading files from a thumbdrive or mpv and webstreams/ultra hd vids. Its pretty cool seeing lighting fast responses in this day of in age. I'm sure that doesn't happen in most vanilla distros. Plus it makes the creator of white boys, Mental "Yakub" Outlaw proud knowing his creaiton has outsmarted bloat.

I'm writing a new GIMP plugin named "pipes" that does this effect and I want to write it in Xnedit instead of the usual programs Geany or Xed or opening caja file manager. I have to rewire the parts of my brain use to habits.

Micro has too little features, no search and replace, but xnedit with my customs has EVERYTHING and more. Even the ability to auto compile plugins. I should be able to do this. You can test a static preview of the GIMP plugin without installing anything by putting this syntax into GIMP's GEGL graph filter

Good question. let me check my stash

rg "cp" ~/.local/bin/


I have a wrapper named "makegeglplugin" that auto runs
cp -ri ~/gegl_assistance/new_plugin/ ~/DevelopingGEGL/Final_Filters_here/`

so I can make a new blank plugin instantly from a template

and "sendgeglcode"
cp -r $(find . -name '*.so') ~/.local/share/gegl-0.4/plug-ins/

so I can find all gegl plugin binaries and point them in the folder they belong, no -i so I can auto overwrite.

I also have a command I haven't used in years that I made back in early 2023 that gets REMBG to run from Nomacs

cp "$@" /tmp/bghere.png  && rembg i /tmp/bghere.png /tmp/bgremoved.png && sleep 0.5 && nomacs /tmp/bgremoved.png 



To learn more about cp man cp

Mental yakub Outlaw is going to be so proud. 4.5mb of RAM softtware can make GIMP plugins. It just sucks I can't skip to compile errors like I can in Geany

I compiled it a while ago but I spent hour tweaking it.

retard. real users always have at least one tmux session active.. and use a serviceable terminal (in both features and performance).

what is this crap lol.

this reads like a wintard who asked an LLM to replicate wintard workflows in "minimal linux".

you asked for minimal alternatives to notepad, didn't you? lol

Nedit was always part of Irix base install and it's older than your father at this point.
