 # linuxSmartie
 Alphanumeric LCD controller software for Linux (kind of LCDSmartie for Windows but no GUI, no config file, no plugins, no Windows). 
 
-~~Written with C++26 (`-std=c++2c`), will need at least gcc 14 to compile.~~ Uhm actually written with C++20 now, I was only really using `std::print` from 26. Let us not fall for memes. Will need gcc 10 to compile. GCC actually made C++20 the default since v16.
-
-We can't go lower than C++20, we use too much shit introduced by it (std::format, std::chrono stuff mostly).
+Big ol rewrite in C, like God intended because GOOD LORD C++ IS A MESS.
 
 Hardcoded to work with 4x40 character display because that's what I have and I don't plan on using anything else. Uses Matrix Orbital protocol over serial. Should work with most other display sizes by modifying `src/LCDDisplay.cpp`. Best of luck if you try to make it work with anything else.
 
 Vaguely inspired by suckless software philosophy, as in:
 
 ## The config is the source code
-Same as plugins. Just write in more features scrub, learn some C++, damn

 ## TODOs
-- Use `std::string_view` or `const std::string &` when possible, its faster, no copy
 - Extra screens support perhaps? just halt sensors monitoring thread and print another struct on display if needed, have a semaphore or sth
 - Maybe not even screens, keep the 1st line and change lines 2-4
 - Media playback screen (use mpris, get playback info with mpris)
 - In the LCDDisplay lib, reimplement all the features I have in picoSmartie + maybe finally add keypad support for both so I can toggle backlight (?) or change screens if I want any
 - Screens could be automatic tbh, like if it detects media playing it switches to media screen, if in media screen and GPU power > 80W it switches to main (hwmon) screen
-- Try to be C++, avoid globals, wrap in namespaces, use naming conventions, use classes, avoid pure C way of doing things unless it makes more sense (which it often does tbh, better for reading small files)
 - **FUCK C++, HUGE REWRITE FROM SCRATCH IN C LIKE GOD ALWAYS INTENDED** but fuuuuck display thread would be so painful without std::string. And I really would need to start a whole ass project from a clean slate since I made it a point to use a lot of C++ features which now bite me in the ass. 
-- Fuck it man, nvm let's leave it. Make it C++17 or 20 or sth so it compiles on yo mama or sth.
 
 ## LCD layout
 It looks something like this
