what's a good tui app to start using them? something that allows me to do stuff with my files, play music, something like that, or maybe see info, nothing complicated. i'd like to try using more of them since they look beautiful tbh

here's a decent music player https://github.com/tramhao/termusic and for file management, midnight commander is an incredible tool https://midnight-commander.org/

Any of the TUI file managers. I use LF myself, but theres a few out there. You might even find it intuitive enough that you use it instead the regular gui file manager

termusic, superfile, fzf, browsh

@yogthos TUIs are back because we've forgotten how to do sensible GUIs? 😬

lol basically and it's also hard to make decent crossplatform GUIs
