I'm living life in the virtual terminal, no graphical session, although the framebuffer does render graphics.

Really Nice.

Could you elaborate on what programs you use tot display PDF files and which browser you use?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

w3m browser and I don't really view pdfs in this setup. Most files are text files so I just use vim or bat. If I really needed to view pdf files I'd probably just use groff.

Did some further investigation. I've build fbpdf (https://github.com/aligrudi/fbpdf, with all the -lmupdf-* removed from the Makefile to make it build) and this works very well. With pipe-viewer I can watch YT video's (which uses mpv under the hood).

Thanks for the inspiration.

I didn't know about those. I'll give fbpdf a try. As for YouTube, I tried to get videos working with mpv but it's not happy for some reason. Works fine on my glibc void Linux laptop, just not on this one.
