It's not really emphasized in the docs (it's very easy to overlook), but Homebrew does work on Linux. I use it regularly to manage Go (and many other tools) on my Linux machines, and the package versions stay fairly close to the official releases.

There is also Brave: built-in ad blocker, chromium-based, open-source.

Just a heads-up: It nudges users towards some crypto/NFT stuff and includes some telemetry, but these can be disabled.

Right now it's my 2nd favorite below Zen (despite Zen's bugs). That said, I'm planning to check out Thorium.

At least with this tool, you can use your RSS/Atom feed reader to make them easier to manage. It's source available, free, and self-hostable, btw.

Alternatively, you can use unique aliases + email filters for each newsletter (which is what I currently do, but it's somewhat convoluted).

Seems a bit self-indulgent, don’t you think?

🤓☝️ Ackchyually, if one considers (for example) KDE-based Linux distros, there are at least a few that ship a default terminal with native image rendering capabilities.

PSA: Burnout can happen even when you're doing something you love or are passionate about. It can be very sneaky, and one of the signs is getting tired of things you usually enjoy. Ask me how I know.
