Your best bet is Dolphin, i don't use xattrs myself, but it seems like dolphin supports it

While dolphin does support tags, it puts all of the tags into one extended attribute value, user.xdg.tags. This won't work for my use case, as I intend to use multiple extended attributes.
While Nautilus has extensions to support extended attributes, they can only be viewed for one file at a time. Files cannot be sorted by the values of a specific extended attribute.
After looking through the arch wiki, I have decided that a CSV table would probably be better for my use case than xattrs.

What floating DE/WM is there that's lightweight and not janky

JWM (Joe's Window Manager). XFCE for a full desktop environment, or LXQt if you can't tolerate GTK.

It doesn't require anything but editing the configuration file to match the theme of whatever you're using and comes with a visual pager for your workspaces IE those little squares on the panel showing either numbers or an overview of the window layouts on other workspaces.

I plan to dualboot Windows 11 with a 10 GB partition made for TinyCorePure64 on a Dell 15. I shrunk my C: partition by 10 GB, and flashed TinyCorePure64 to a USB flash drive via Rufus. For Rufus, the options I selected were:
  • GPT partitioning
  • DD image
  • In the BIOS, I set "Secure Boot" to off.
Upon getting into the USB drive, I get put into GNU GRUB with these options:
  • tc
  • tcw
  • core
  • corew
Nothing displays when I select either one, but my USB flash drive flashes a bright red for a couple of second and then stays glowing. Nothing still. WTF happened, and how can I fix it?

Live images still vary in quality and ability to boot on different hardware. Is it just TinyCore that's doing it or have you tried other distros?

Packagekit has a surprise for you if you have it installed. Pack2TheRoot (CVE-2026-41651): Cross-Distro Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability [A]

This GNOME shitware is such a fucking joke.

The GNOME software center could just have used gksudo or whatever they call it nowadays to run apt-get install/upgrade or whatever yum commands with various root privileges. This would have been reasonable, normal, auditable- and it would have been the UNIX way. Naturally footfags rejected this in favour of creating Yet Another DBUS Monstrosity that:
  • lets GNOME software center and any forks pop up a 'request for administrative rights' that doesn't actually reveal what the program is trying to do as part of the command- as would be the case if it was just trying to run a package manager command
  • caused this vulnerability to exist for NO REASON AT ALL
EDIT: Interesting, I see that Arch has recommended against packagekit for a long time. Partially for the sensible reason- that it's superflous at best, and that the way it doesn't show users what is being done with their root credentials is unsafe. But partially because not showing the actual output of the arch package installation commands could mean that a warning that a package upgrade will break your system would not be shown (I would argue that it would be better not to package things in ways that mean your system gets broken but hey that's Arch).

Out of all the security theatre faggotry that exists among Wayland cultists, GNOME is probably one of the worst offenders. Yes, they fix the X arbitrary keylogging and screengrabbing issues, but not only are portals hideously cancerous to configure, if you happen to install the full GNOME DE it has a bad habit of overriding user settings after updates or version bumps. Not to mention niggerlicious behavior like shilling exclusively tranny shit in their Bazaar bloatware then closing PRs that tries to make them less commoiepedotrooncoded:
not inclusive to provide a powerful customization option, then to cater it only to the minority of LGBT people—

What's wrong with that? Straight people can also use it you know. I am not gonna "turn gay" cause I switched the progress bar to the pride flag.

what’s more, to the minority therein who want to make their sexuality/gender identity a core part of their aesthetic.**

Again, what's the problem with that? The reason there is an "aesthetic" to being queer is cause it distinguished by what its not in term of societal constructs. There is no aesthetic to being "straight" cause its both all encompassing and the default. In fact, everything is assumed to be straight coded by default as well.

Nobody bats an eye if a Teacher at a school gets pregnant. Nobody tries to picture "How did she get pregnant". But if a Male teacher goes to an event with his husband or dares to have a picture of him at his desk all the sudden his sexual life becomes political and a subject for school debate? Why do you think this happens?

This update makes the progress bar customization feature inclusive to all users of Bazaar,

Please stop normalizing the all users narrative. The whole point of "Pride" events and aesthetic is to highlight that not everyone fits int the "Default" straight-cis box and acknowledging that our society is constructed solely around that box.

This is plain reversism and racist. You understand very well what a "Straight Pride" parade and "Christian Family Values" parade are. You know very well what "All Lives Matter" meant. Yet you try to perpetuate the same exact thing here, and if anything using a "queer identity" as some sort of escape hatch to either justify your internal phobias or as a plain cover.

I don't know if you made this PR with good intentions and without understanding the dynamics of your own existence in the society or if all this is done in bad faith. But it doesn't matter to the end result here.

Remember kids, if you use GUHNOME, you are using software made by pestilent tranny faggot chomo supporting freaks like J. Petridis, or actual child rapists like Jeremy Bicha. I double dog dare you to find anyone in the XLibre/X11 sphere that comes even close to this tier of degeneracy. Nobody in their right mind would ever think that a fucking display server of all things would reek of tranny gashes, but, here we are. Strange times indeed.

i dont think im asking for too much that i can copy and paste text in a terminal
that may be the thing that drives me to emacs

It's just Tiny Core. I wanted a distro with a lightweight ISO that could fit on my 262 MB USB flash drive.

Something with Legacy Boot maybe? There are other similar distros to experiment with: 4M Linux and SliTaz. If you're feeling particularly masochistic, you can boot whatever works up, download Alpine's minirootfs archive, unpack it into the partition you've prepared and do a chroot install. In theory.

In many terminals, it is CTRL+INSERT and SHIFT+INSERT. I don't use Konsole.

There is yank and paste in vim/nvim and then there is the clipboard in your DE. I think they don't know about one another. I am not a hardcore vim user, just use it to edit config files.
