Here's a list of apps for Wii-Linux, curated by Techflash and some others, 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 | JWM | jwm | Fast, Needs additional configuration to look good |
| Xorg Window Manager | IceWM | icewm | Still relatively fast, but friendlier to new users |
| Xorg Terminal Emulator | XTerm | xterm | Blazingly fast, but may want to do some configuration to make it look nicer |
| Xorg Terminal Emulator | Suckless Terminal | st | Surprisingly faster than XTerm in some ways |
| Web Browser | NetSurf | netsurf | Not all too fast, medium compatibility, no functional JavaScript |
| Web Browser | ArcticFox | arcticfox | Very slow, decent compatibility, good JavaScript |
| Web Browser | Phantom Satellite | phantomsatellite-gtk2 | Slightly faster than ArcticFox, medium compatibility, good JavaScript |
| 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 | Mpg123 | mpg123 | Works great, but only for MP3 Files |
| 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. |
