less or bat, but I usually use by paging up and down so it's not that different from more... My terminal emulator only pages up and down, I like it that way.
I did like BTR, just not as much as others praise it. Nice to hear that you already have Hidamari Sketch on your list, it's underrated in my opinion. The animation style is also really unique.
For me there really isn't anything better in anime then moments like the one you describe in K-ON! I have that same picture up as the banner on !kon@lemmy.world. I think older anime do these tender moments better than the newer ones. For example Bocchi the Rock is quite forgettable to me, especially compared to K-ON! (I watched them back to back).
If you are interested in this type of stuff, you might want to check out the genre "iyashikei" (free translation: "healing genre"). The border with iyashikei, slice of life and cgdct is often blurred, I argue that K-ON! is indeed at least partially an iyashikei anime. It's a bit of spectrum, most SOL will include some iyashikei but some have a much stronger emphasis on it. Other titles that may be of interest are Non Non Biyori, Hidamari Sketch and ARIA.
I'm in the middle of ARIA the natural. My sappy ass getting all weak when the golden hour light pours down and the music starts going. Very tender anime.
I understand the problem of "code it yourself". But if they won't code it themselves, and it ought to exist, who has to? Everything that is provided is provided for free and with love and passion. If something is lacking in that there are only a few options. Including code it yourself or pay someone to code it for you. The only reason you get anything at all is because of the "code it yourself" attitude of the people who developed the software in the first place, as well as their willingness to share it.
I started out on Void, then to Arch and finally to Artix. The Artix experience really feels like a mix of Arch and Void to me. As for gaming, I'm really not a big gamer at all, not having played for years. I do remember playing Minecraft without issues as well as a few Steam games such as CSGO. So it's fine as far as I can tell.
I'm on Artix and I have removed sudo after installing doas. I do have a symlink sudo -> /usr/bin/doas in /usr/bin. Have had this configuration for about a year, nothing broke.
I watched ARIA the animation, and yea, it's really good. I also finished NEW GAME!! Which is quite good, I like CGDCT in a workplace environment for a change (so not a school environment). Lastly I watched Yurumeitsu. Critics often say that nothing happens in CGDCT. The yuru mates really don't do shit basically. They sleep a lot. So yea pretty good, but nothing special. I started watching slow loop. Which is very comfy, they cuddle a lot.
Artix because it is more Arch then Arch according to Arch's own goals: "focuses on simplicity, minimalism, and code elegance". There is no way systemd is more simple, minimal and elegant than its alternatives. I don't think systemd is bad, but I do think it is a bad fit and Artix is what Arch should have been.

Ratings purely based on vibes and emotions nothing objective or weighted sum of categories.
NHK ni youkoso kinda hit hard the days after I finished it. I listened to the 2nd ending on repeat lol. In order to combat the big sad, I started watching ARIA. I have seen two episodes and it is very promising. Aria-sachou is so cute...
I like fish abbreviations. They are like aliases but expand when you press space or enter. That way you can edit it, and also still see the full command so you are less likely to forget it when you don't have your aliases. Of course I have some scripts as well.
Hidamari Sketch. The first two seasons have an achronological order. Each episode is a day in their life in one of the twelve months. Online you can find alternative orders that if you follow them, the story is told chronologically. Although I don't think it would make that much of a different experience given the episodic nature and lack of overall narrative. One thing about the release order is that sometimes the characters refer to something that has happened but the viewer hasn't seen that yet. That is something that would disappear with the alternative order. From what I heard the manga is mostly chronological so it would be more true to the manga.
