Just wanted to share my progress: I'm finally learning how to use Cmus, now I can select and play music, had to solve a no sound issue before though, thing was I had to configure the output device and installed pavucontrol to do that. Haven't figured out yet how to add music to the library; I can navigate to the music folder and select a file to play but that's as far as I've got till now. After reading about Mutt here https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/wikis/MuttGuide I could set it up which to be honest was easier than I thought it'd be, so now I can read my mail with Mutt. Today I plan on configuring Compton so I can get some basic and nice compositing effects. :happy:

Intriguing...I'm setting up a VM right this minute to try and do just this. We'll soon see how it turns out.
This is from old antiX forum.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

When I read old I thought it'd be like 3, 4 years old but it's from 2010! lol Still, very informative and useful, already picked up on a couple of tools, some links are dead though. Thanks for sharing!
