Here's a list of apps for Wii-Linux, curated by Techflash, to help you get the most out of your Linux experience.
Most of these will need additional on-disk swap space. helpmii can instruct you how to do that fairly easily.
| App Type | App Name | ArchPOWER package name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Xorg Window Manager | i3wm | i3 | Faster, but not very friendly to new users |
| Xorg Window Manager | IceWM | icewm | Still relatively fast, but friendlier to new users |
| Xorg Termainal Emulator | XTerm | xterm | Blazingly fast, but may want to do some configuration to make it look nicer |
| Web Browser | NetSurf | netsurf | Not all too fast, medium compatibility |
| Discord Client | Abaddon | abaddon | Dreadfully slow, takes minutes to load Requires very fast swap to be remotely usable |
| Audio Playback | aplay | alsa-utils | Works great, but only for WAV files or raw audio |
| Audio Playback | play / sox | sox | Works great for all formats I threw at it, but you'll need to install the "optional dependencies" for most formats. pacman will list these out after the package is installed. |
