• Lists available npm commands

cd ~/'Projects/2004Scape-Server/src/' && npm run

• Useful for standalone-like client launching
• Convenient for external screenshot tools and OBS window captures

sudo dnf install 'chromium'

• TODO

• Ctrl + r to refresh to workaround audio bugs (logout first to avoid 60s timeout)
• F11 to exit Fullscreen

• In-client Take screenshot does not work (use Print Screen key or external screenshot tool)
• Sometimes this stays open in the background and plays music even when Ctrl + C'd from Terminal
