Hey, things move too fast nowadays. I feel the same way. I’m still on manjaro because it works and I want to support those goofs lol. Just keep using cmus, it’s a cool project. Or you can have both. kew let’s you start music pretty easily, for instance:
kew moon # plays moonlight sonata if you have it
kew nirv # plays your collection of nirvana music (shuffled) if you have it
kew thriller # plays thriller album (in order)
So maybe it has different use cases than cmus I dunno.
@ravachol hows manjaro with legacy nvidia? anything that has a specific command for moonlight sonata has to be good lol
I think it handles the legacy ones ok. You mean the recent change where nvidia dropped support?
It’s just an example command, you can type a partial song name and it matches to the first song or directory you have that contains that string and creates a playlist automatically.
