This means that drivers written in Rust will have just a good a chance to be accepted as drivers written in C?

I usually create ~/git/{github,gitlab,codeberg,AUR,etc} where I clone the git stuff I need.

The rest is usually handled by my nextcloud that creates the ~/Nextcloud folder.

Joke answer: get the IINA devs to release a Linux build.

More seriously: MPV is pretty close and might even be able to be configured to what you want. But seriously though. Sounds like you need/want exactly this UI, so you should ask the IINA devs to make a Linux build.

Maybe the wiki has some useful information: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console#Fonts

i just noticed that the “make text bigger” shortcut that works for my mac terminal didn’t work with arch

That’s because in MacOS it’s a terminal emulator, a GUI application with a CLI inside.

In Arch, if you didn’t install a desktop environment, the terminal is the raw TTY, not an emulator, so it does not have reszing/zoom options.

But as @anon5621@lemmy.ml mentioned, you can set the font of the TTY to a bigger font using the setfont command.

Good point. Yes. Small breakage means it’s easier to fix. Although, the years I’ve run my rolling release system, I’ve had it break maybe one of two times. Easily fixed. Both of those was because there was a change that needed a manual intervention, which I did not read about until after, so those were my own fault.

I use a rolling release for mainly 3 reasons.

1. Faster access to new (shiny) software/applications. Flatpak and the like could solve this for LTS distros.
2. Security updates come faster and smoother.
3. Less chance of an update breaking things. Lots of small and frequent updates, instead of rare and large update packs/stacks.
