Nylas all over again... Why complicate and bloat things as if it's the obvious sensible choice?

The time to finally learn how to configure mutt is that much close...

Not entirely sure but I think mpv works without X like mplayer.

What's that algebraic syntax'ed language he mentions?

> What Windows has going for it is that it supports a lot of different desktop/laptop hardware very well.

I don't think that's the case. It's not that Windows itself supports more hardware, but the fact that drivers for said hardware are built only for Windows. It could even be seen as a vicious cicle: 1) HW manufacturers create drivers for Windows because It's more popular; 2) Users use Windows because "It Just Works (TM)" and so userbase grows; 3) goto 1

> Linux supports a lot of hardware but much of it not very well.

Hence I think Linux supports more HW but driver support isn't as good.

I get what you're saying though.

(I just tried "translate:this" and it didn't do anything, so I'll assume that's not how it's supposed to be used and that it translates something on google translator)

The '!gtranslate' bang does that

Some people might not need as much functionality out of the box as i3 offers, if you're one of them you should try DWM :)
IIRC, theres a section on ProGit[0] about GUI Git clients
