I've been using xterm, urxvt, and st. Also tested alacrity, kitty, and wezterm. Your shell also plays a critical role in your terminal usage (but I won't deviate here).
For my use-case, the latter are overkill so I stayed with st. The only missing feature for me was image support even though I use it sporadically. To cover that I use a script that relies on ueberzug or ucollage if I need to browse folders.

I've wrote a small post about ucollage if you're interested.

If you're looking for an in-browser alternative I'd highly recommend you take a look at the LibRedirect extension for Firefox and Chromium. It'll automatically redirect any youtube URL to your preferred alternative between Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, CloudTube, Tubo, FreeTube, or Yattee.

If you're looking for an external app and like using a Linux terminal then ytfzf may be a good choice. I've briefly talked about it here. It will even allow you to search on Youtube (through invidious), Peertube, and Odysee if you so desire.

If looking for a phone app, I personally like NewPipe.

Great idea. Thanks for sharing. Great choice of laptop BTW ;)

I forgot about the distro. Any should work I think but Arch is fully supported if you're interested.

https://frame.work/es/en/products/laptop-13-gen-amd/configuration/new the 1600€ but is so expensive for me, but i like it very much even the concept

Have you looked at the DYI option instead of the pre built one? Assembling this laptop is doable in 5 minutes for a 3 years old kid ;) You can even find step by step guides videos and that will bring the price down to your higher limit of 1000 euro. That may be a good option if you like the concept so much. I'm personaly looking to get one of those for my next machine.

Also, this discussion may help you. It's on the framework forum but comments are not only all positive which reflects liberty of speech. Another plus in my view. Finally, always remember to compare apples to apples and take longevity in consideration. Not all processors with similar specs are the same for example.

Quite recently I moved to my first trackball (Elecom Deft Pro) and that was a life changer. I've shared my experience here.

When setting up your SSD, don't forget to use TRIM to preserve it if possible. See the Arch wiki. You can follow it even if you use another distro.

Thanks for sharing.
I was personally not motivated/good enough to write a new tool so I've wrote scripts to use rofi (easily adaptable to dmenu) as:

  • an app launcher
  • a clipboard manager
  • an infobar to show things like the date/time, memory usage, disk space, battery level, wifi signal…
  • an omnibar to perform an internet search, quick units conversions
  • a calculator for simple math
  • a bookmark manager (list, open, edit, add, remove)
  • a password/2FA token manager (list, edit, add, remove, autofill internet fields)
  • a wifi manager
  • a vpn manager

I've explained the basis here if you're curious. Even though I was bad at keeping my code up to date you may get some ideas to expand your program.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I've spent quite some time trying to create a minimalist and efficient theme. Very glad to hear that I met this goal.

I've explained my choice for zsh here

Nicely configured it's so convenient that I spend most of my time in the terminal and don't even use a file explorer anymore. It can also be expanded with some plugins for specific use-cases.
