Source code for Quake 2 rerelease
Discovering the drop down console was a revelation.
An homage: http://guake-project.org/

Do you have any recommended modifications that you make to your default Mint installation?
One of the very first things I do is to install Guake terminal. I usually change its hotkey to ctrl-alt-T, because I'm so used to using that for the terminal.

ddterm alternative with split view?
Maybe Guake will be to your liking?

I want to edit window border but there is no option to.
I did discover one irrelevant cool thing though, well worth your time playing with: GUAKE --> http://guake-project.org

Any Windows terminals that can drop-down Quake-style?
Guake does it, too (on Linux).
- Is it possible to upgrade the default terminal to something like the default Kali one?
- Sorry for the bitrate, but can someone help me with this performance issue? I just built this pc, and for some reason in game my fps appears to be capping itself at certain times, going as low to 30 when i can easily have 300+ as if i have vsync on. Is there a setting or something causing this?

How do I reduce the volume of an app that only plays sound while in focus?
I'm not sure which desktop or window manager you use, but you could try using a drop-down terminal like Guake and running pulsemixer on a tab in it.

Ask HN: Share a shell script you like
- quickly jump to recent directory: https://github.com/rupa/z - however I find it kinda annoying it seems to forget/ignore(?) directories, anyone know of a better version of this?
- quickly opening my personal wiki: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...
- re-run a script when a file changes: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...
For `while-watchdo` you, you run it like `while-watchdo "echo hi"`, then in my editor, I have a custom shortcut that does `touch .watchfile` causing the command, in this case `echo hi` to run. I prefer this to tools that retrigger commands as soon as you save _any_ file. Also works in docker containers, edit a file on host, command runs in a container.

Use Linux they said
2) Well friend, this is where you can have the best of both of worlds. You can just open the file explorer via the CLI. Typically you'll have the xdg-open command that opens the directory in your default file browser. I have that aliased to xdgo. So you can navigate quickly to where you need to be, and then open it visually with xdgo . . There's also other really convenient navigation tools like z (https://github.com/rupa/z) that I can't imagine going without anymore.

Describe your Personal Development Environment
I would like to know how you use the terminal and nvim in your daily workflow. Here is mine: I have a shortcut (with raycast) to open alacritty full screen from anywhere. I open alacritty and start the tmux (create work and personal sessions). Then using z navigate to the desired project. Next, I have a bash script pde that opens nvim, and 2 terminal splits below. Nvim opens with alpha-nvim (startify theme). For file explorer I use lir.nvim. Fuzzy finding using fzf-lua. I have harpoon but don't use it very often, instead, I manage buffers with fzf-lua and vim-bbye. When working on multiple files I usually have 2-4 vsplits. I do git stuff mostly using vim-fugitive (gv.vim, resetting hunks with gitsigns.nvim), occasionally git commands from another tmux window. I use auto-save.nvim. My most used command is :F (lsp.bug.format). For movements I use Ctrl+D/U/O/I/, sometimes relative line jumping. Other often movements [q,]q (quickfix jumps), [d,]d (diagnostics jumps), [c,]c (Gitsigns hunks). Alacritty + Neovim view
