I’d just like to interject for a moment…
I like it mainly because of the image protocol and supporting both x11 and wayland. I still have alacritty installed as well because i like how damn fast it is. If alacritty had proper image support i’d probably only be using alacritty, but they are both great terminal emulators.
I highly doubt it. Even if they did though, if they just replace it with a firefox fork it could work pretty much as a drop-in replacement.
I’ve been sticking with music players that can output directly through alsa. I settled on strawberry cause it can do that and also has other features that i care about baked in ootb. Deadbeef can also output directly through alsa and i liked it for the most part, but what i didn’t like was that things like mpris support wasn’t baked in, so i would have to mess with plugins. I don’t know if there are any other players that can output directly through alsa, those are the only two that i could find so far.
It’s very convenient for terminal based file managers. I use it to preview my wallpapers images and then i use a keybind to set it as the wallpaper for my window manager. I also recently started using rmpc, an mpd client that can display album art.
