rofi reviews and mentions

• Building a desktop launcher
  5 projects | dev.to | 11 Nov 2024

  I still use QuickSilver on my mac, despite there are multiple efforts attempting to displace it. There used to be one made for Linux, called Gnome Do, however the development eventually stopped. I settled for the built-in launcher in Gnome Shell, and then briefly moved on to rofi with this configuration.

• Some web pages are not loading properly
  1 project | /r/india | 7 May 2023

  I am using arch linux. For me github is loading very slow and sometimes web pages are not loading properly. For ex this github repo - https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi keeps on loading and even after loading some images (like the drop down images) doesn't load properly. Only facing this problem with github and no other websites. Tried to go to github on my mobile (jio) and facing the same problem. Anyone having the same problem ?

  Install rofi and copy the scripts you like. Just a 4 examples it can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8w1i3wAKiw just copy any of the zillions scripts and use them: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi the advance of using rofi is that if you switch distro/WM/DE you just copy paste your configuration files (dotfiles) from your existing install to the new one and everything will work like they used to work.

• Got this X41 at a flea market for peanuts, with its original dock included. One afternoon and a few upgrades later…
  1 project | /r/thinkpad | 6 Feb 2023

  I'd warmly recommend to start learning to use rofi-menu + sxhkd no matter which distro/WM you use, because that combo has endless opportunities even if you just copied the scripts already in Github: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi

  After multiseat feels too normal, take a look at rofi-menu. Once you understand it's glory it'll will follow you into any Linux install you make in the future. Scripts ready to use in github: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi
