swaywm

I'm sure most folks are aware of the list on Are we Wayland yet?, which has a lot of great apps. Most of the standard desktop ones are already included with Manjaro Sway edition. However, one glaring omission was a calculator app (bc is of course included and usable on the terminal, but can be rather cumbersome for complex calculations).

Today, I stumbled across a very nice alternative: speedcrunch. So far it's been working great natively on Sway thanks to being based on the latest qt5-tools. Nice fast keyboard-based interface with the option to use a GUI keypad, binary ("Bitfield") input, support for expressions, functions, mathematical constants, smart completion, complex numbers, and more!

Really much happier with this app when compared to the more basic gnome-calculator, and even GNU bc ("basic calculator" or "bash calc" as I like to call it).

Helix because it is a nice code editor and has a catpuccin theme by default

There is a lot you can do just with rofi … yes, this fork works with Wayland, and with a just a bit of gluing together, you can get completely functional applications … e.g., https://github.com/svenstaro/rofi-calc, I am in the process (patches welcome!) with writing a pinentry program just with bash at https://git.sr.ht/~mcepl/pinentry-rofi (for some reasons all pinentry programs are written in something weird, so it pulls unwanted dependencies to the host system on MicroOS).

foot + emacs ( yes I know it doesn't sound like minimal ;) )
