Finally fixed #dmenu to launch scripts from my `~/bin` correctly.
The issue is that my home directory is an import from my previous Pop!OS install, but currently running on CachyOS, and there's some differences of implicit assumptions between the two. The short version is that I was missing a `~/.xsession` file containing:
```
#!/bin/sh
. ~/.profile
```I already had a `~/.profile` that worked correctly, but it wasn't being executed during X11 login, so I had the system default `$PATH` but nothing user-specific. I also needed to delete my `~/.cache/dmenu_run` so it would recompute my path-available executables. Now I can properly launch Zen browser, and a wrapped version of Signal that actually uses the correct credential wallet, when using #i3.
I'll probably have to figure out similar fuckery again if I ever get #sway to work on my graphics card.

What’s your feeling on Google #keep #notion Or, do you have a preference for sharing a text or checkbox-type list?
In a perfect full GNU/#linux world, I would want the list to be in #dmenu (#suckless software), but idk about the file sharing aspect.
I don’t like Resilio. It just hasn’t worked out reliably when I tried. Plus, it is a bit of a drag being proprietary. Dropbox functions better anyway, so it remains a little lingering tech question of mine: what is the best free (FOSS) alternative?

This is a really lovely launcher.
https://github.com/vicinaehq/vicinae
It will replace #dmenu for me (RIP Xorg).
One piece of software I miss is sxhkd for defining global shortcuts with a plain text file. Does anything like that exist for #Wayland? #Linux

CW: mention of suckless, fascism
I have an obscure problem.
I really like #dmenu for its simplicity and functionality.
But I don't like nazis. And I'd really like to use software that isn't made by them.
I've tried configuring and using #rofi but I just don't like it. Has anybody found an X11 launcher with the same feel as dmenu, but with devs that are less bent on seeing people like me dead?

I got tired of Windows Start Menu's bloat and lag, so I built WindMenu, a dmenu-like launcher for Windows.
Keyboard-first, minimal UI, instant response, pure Win32 APIs. Here's how it took shape:

If you are into heavy use of the terminal, #dmenu is an essential piece of software to include in your system. (you can even use it to display qrcodes)
https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/
Emacs has a similar function as well:
(ido-completing-read "Select your Distro: " '("Debian" "Fedora" "OpenSUSE"))

I can't believe it took me until 2025 to realize that I needed a rofi-based address book for email address completions everywhere.

I found this project called `tofi` that seems to work the same way as dmenu but for Wayland. It is not in the Arch repos only in the AUR, so I guess it is not that popular.
Might be `rofi` the good option? It seems to have a Wayland-compatible version, too. What do you think?
