lemmyreadersuperfile - A pretty fancy and modern terminal file manager
eshep@lemmyreader Looks quite snazzy!
Thanks for the share!
I’ve always liked tui file managers, broot is a pretty cool one as well.
What’s the big selling point compared to
ranger or yazi?
Taasz/WoofI haven’t used any of the 3, but from a look over them superfile looks a lot more user friendly and has a nicer overall look.
Glibc is the gnu c library. You wouldn’t just download that from apt. I’m surprised your Linux distro doesn’t already have that installed.
Could be a (too) old version if you’re still on the Ubuntu 22.04 base
It depends on the distro which release is installed and available. So certainly the problem is, the required and installed glibc library do not match.
It’s definitely a big learning curve with how complex installing things on linux is haha, I’m still used to windows just open the exe installer and that’s it.
Yeah I hear that. I will say aptitude made my life a lot easier in terms of installing things with its recommended fixes.
I mean there’s that, but it’s a lot of work for a dev too.
I would rather Linux just be able to detect what’s missing and install it for me, or just have the required stuff ship inside the binary.
It was always nice with windows installers because they would come with the needed components, or windows would just prompt to install them automatically.
I guess that’s essentially what Flatpak solves too!
That’s what aptitude does. It says “these things are dependencies that are missing. Do you want to install them?” And you can say yes, no, or ask it to try to find a different fix. And idk what you mean by that’s a lot of work. If a dev can’t be bothered to tell people how to install their program then idk how they expect people to use their software.
I would rather Linux just be able to detect what’s missing and install it for me. In the case of a lot of missing components, what it says is missing will be named completely different from the package you need to install which makes it really hard.
That does happen, but Linux doesn’t have anything to do with installing packages, your package manager does. If this package was installed through apt for example, it would also download all of the dependencies. But this package is using a makefile to build and install, therefore it has nothing to do with your package manager.
Tldr: use the package manager, and don’t use DIY packages if you don’t want to DIY
Additional package managers like flatpak and nix solve different issues:
-
dependency mismatch: let’s say libreoffice and this package require a different version of glibc -> flatpak downloads both versions and symlinks them in a different location in order for each package to have the correct version while not impacting your system and the glibc your DE is using
-
newer packages: Debian freezes packages for 2+ years, flatpak gives you a fresh version
There are two specific problems I see here for the mentioned binaries.
rpm or deb the system package manager could/does handle. Thus, the package manager of your system does neither know that you’ve installed this binary nor what it depends on. The developer could have at least mentioned on which exact system the Linux binaries are supposed to work, e.g. Ubuntu 22.04, so that the user knows, that they might have issues running it on a different system.Nonetheless, you are encouraged to build directly from source.

Yeah screw that lol, I want my OS to just work and be easy to use with minimal fuss.
FaridI had to install Golang and build it myself to make it work with my version of glibc. But in the end the themes aren’t rendered properly. In other words, proper Linux experience.
Seems it’s been reported github.com/MHNightCat/superfile/issues/96a, and the PR to fix it looks like it was merged, so you should be able to run it soon
tsonfeirIt’s pretty fancy.
I like fancy
nfsu2Or nnn for that matter. I will test it anyway.
daisyKutterLooks very cool!
That name tho… Maybe could have chosen a different one.
delirious_owlNah, its easy to remember. Its a good name
What’s wrong with it?
Try saying: “I’m a (the name of the project)” out loud, and let me know how that sounds.
I’m a Super File… What?
Get your head out of the gutter. There is a difference between file and philia, the former being something managed by this program and the latter being Greek for “love”. Further, the phil- prefix/suffix is used in many words which don’t mean what you seem to associate it with. Take philosophy for example—the love of wisdom.
Why would you say I’m a anyprojectname?
mvilainLovely little utility.
Shut up and take my money.
It has a font requirement? That’s just weird…
HjalmarNot really? It has alot of icons which are all driven by nerd font. Also you can basically use any font you want, neard just addes some extra glyphs
Also fonts like ::: spoiler spoiler
OpenDysleiebnn
Oy! You rick rolled us.
Looks great, I'll give it a bash
Red_sun_in_the_skyI like nnn
This looks super cool, but I’ve been using midnight commander for so so long.
Not written in rust, yuck! 😆
Go is pretty cool, better than R
Why would you even compare Go with R though?
Because R would be weird for this use case hence Go being better for it
But why bring it up at all? Nobody said anything about R so why make that comparison?
Why dismiss all languages that aren’t rust?
UndercoverUlrikHDR and rust are two completely different languages…
You didn’t seem to understand my question
Dismissing all but Rust is a joke
Saying Go is better than R at things R isn’t used for is a joke because it’s obvious and someone doing this in R would just draw the question of why even though they could
My apologies then, I thought you were shortening rust to R by mistake
Apologies, I mean this
How else is it going to fit inside of 25kb?
Can they even make rust executables under 1GB?
thingsiplayDid you mean 1MB? With correct settings, you get under 1MB Rust binaries and with even more compression using upx it gets to 300KB, probably less for much simpler applications. Rust applications aren’t that big of a deal as people make it to be; within reasons off course.
The one issue I have with Rust apps is how much memory they need to compile (depending on the app ofc). I could not install Pika Backup from AUR on a laptop with 4 GB of RAM for instance because the compilation would run out of memory. It’s one case where I was glad flatpak is an option.
Not sure where you got the 25kb number from.
This tool is written in go and is a 7.8 MB compiled binary.
Oh wow, a text based file manager is that big ? That’s half of my openwrt router’s memory
Azzk1krBecause it’s a statically compiled binary, it tends to grow the size of the binary. Increases portability though.
“pretty fancy” or "pretty, fancy, and … "?
It looks like midnight commander with some upgrades
Nik282000I love mc for its sftp/ssh capabilities. It makes it so much easier to do remote admin/support.
Every time I install Windows the first thing I download is total commander. I can’t function without it.
Yes. I do like that.
Feels like
dired and mc, but way more stylized and cool.

Ah, Midnight Commander, how have I missed you.
