TUIFIManager - a beautiful example of the Uni-Curses project
I started maintaining the uni-curses library in 2021 because I wanted to create a text-editor called VSTermioum xD long story sort 1 2 3 [...] I knew I could draw more complex things onto the Terminal and at that time I noticed that there wasn't really any easy way to navigate in TERMUX +I had an "Aha!" moment where I began to strongly visualise everything in text charachters and started making this thing lol (I'll let you know if I remember any other detail with an update). Also, I always remembered myself loving ASCII arts visually and etc.

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

How do I change default image and video interpreter program through environment variables for nnn file manager ? (Asking herre bc r/linuxquestions doesnt allow posts)
You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
