VLC is heavily bloated with features you need a guide to use (may as well use a command line tool if you need to refer to a guide every time). It crashes (or did about 2 years ago) some of our Linux systems. MPV spanks the piss out of it.
Isn’t this more of a pseudo piracy from youtube tool rather than an alternative?
Awesome for being a free tool, but it pales in comparison to Photoshop.
I wouldn’t know any differences, as I wasn’t using Linux back when sxiv stopped being developed.
DWM, Newsboat, MPV, NSXIV
Other programs like Photoshop lose money though. FOSS devs should just quit as they’re their own competition.
