I thought it’d be a pain but installing programs through the terminal is actually so nice, I never would have expected it

    I have to check out some of these!

    As for the browser, how does it display sites? Does it display images/video/play audio or is it mostly for just the text based stuff? How about ads/adblockers?

      My guess is it works like Lynx.

      You mainly get basic text formatting with some colors. It’s kinda neat. I imagine text heavy sites like Wikipedia (or Lemmy instances! Maybe other Fediverse stuff?) would be decent with it.

      You can open media with external applications it says though.

      Also hey, it’s not running all that fancy privacy-killing JavaScript! :D

      In some situations I imagine it’s fantastic for making your browsing look like you’re working on something important, if you have a problem with nosy shoulder-surfers.
