It's pretty easy. You either get it from Cargo (the Rust package manager) or add a custom repo to apt.

Cargo is the easier and safer option: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh && cargo install eza

Custom apt repo:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gpg

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eza-community/eza/main/deb.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg] http://deb.gierens.de stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y eza

In my opinion though, you should also try lsd. It's even better than eza. You can also get it from Cargo, just a simple cargo install lsd.

You might like lsd even more than that!

You have to enable it in your shell config. For bash it's eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

That will give you the z command.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just yay -Syu to update everything, normal packages and AUR packages?

The new Element X is written in Rust and thus memory-safe. SchildiChat Next is based on it.

Fluffychat and Syphon are pretty good

+1 for Servo

Yes

Finding anything FOSS with Spotify integration will be basically impossible. Clock You is a great clock/alarm app in general, of course no Spotify integration though. But you can choose custom music you have downloaded on your device.

OSS Document Scanner is great. It's also available in the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.akylas.documentscanner

I highly recommend the Prism Launcher. You can find it in the standard Linux Mint Software Manager.

They have an install script that makes this much easier. https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale

I summed up the steps:

Create an account at https://login.tailscale.com/start

Open Konsole and copy-paste the following commands, then hit enter to run them:

git clone https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale.git; cd deck-tailscale

sudo bash tailscale.sh

source /etc/profile.d/tailscale.sh

sudo tailscale up --qr --operator=deck --ssh This will give you a QR code, that you need to scan with your phone. You will have to log in to Tailscale to add the Steam Deck to your Tailscale network.

Try running sudo tailscale update

If this works, i.e. if you don't get any error messages, run sudo tailscale set --auto-update

If you use Decky Loader, I recommend installing the Tailscale Control plugin, which lets you control Tailscale from the Steam menu. You can also use KTailctl to control it from desktop mode.
