This is probably not a solution you would want, but I will mention it anyway…
Emacs has a built-in app called “TRAMP mode”, what it does is it works as back-end for all of Emacs’s own built-in text editing and file browsing commands, then it uses ordinary SSH and POSIX shell commands on a remote host as the primitive APIs for this back-end. You could say it uses SSH and a POSIX shell as a RPC mechanism.
What this means is you can use the ordinary Emacs editor with the entirety of your usual Emacs configuration, but all filesystem changes (including editing files, directories, and running shell processes) occur on the remote host via SSH. In order to activate it, you just use Emacs’s special TRAMP URL scheme as the file path you want to edit, and it works seamlessly, (especially if you setup your SSH agent so you don’t need a password). An example of such a URL would be /ssh:user@remote-host:/etc/hosts.
There are Vim emulator apps for Emacs, and you can use them with TRAMP mode for remote file editing as well. Doom Emacs and Spacemacs both provide extremely good Vim emulation that work consistently throughout all Emacs modes, including TRAMP mode.
Thanks for checking. I asked ChatGPT3.5 to make a solution with excel since I have limited access to it at work. CG came up with making my data a table with Power Query & using a Fill tool, but Fill>Down isn’t doing what CG is saying it’s supposed to do.
I hope I could do this at home though because I only have Onlyoffice & Libreoffice, & excel in the browser is so limited.
This is a shit-tier post. Why hide the relevant information that’s 2 sentences long?
Relevant information:
Better integration with Steam. By default the Steam Deck uses KDE as the desktop mode. This inherently means it receives updates from Valve in terms of desktop related fixes, and they are actively working with KDE developers to bring updates to KDE (reddit.com/…/is_there_any_cooperation_with_valve_…)
I know reading is hard but you realize this quote was reason #5 of the many reasons listed… I’m not going to copy-paste the article, it’s all relevant info.
If you have ssh/SCP you can use sshfs to mount the remote host as a fuse filesystem. That would let you edit files on your workstation, but more or less all other commands would still need to happen on the remote system.
KDE on Fedora is great. My only complaint is by default Firefox doesn’t use the KDE file picker, it uses (presumably) Gnome’s file picker. This is fixable but I shouldn’t have to do it.
There isn’t usually much to do on an embedded router other than use its own commands to change settings or manage packages. And if it has enough juice to run more advanced stuff it probably has bash available too.
Anyway, there’s NFS for mounting filesystems remotely. It’s not very complicated, the catch is that the same UIDs and GUIDs on the host must exist on the guest, because it doesn’t do any uid translation. On an embedded system most stuff is owned by root, meaning you’d have to use root on guest too, which may not be a great idea.
Secondly, you can’t run commands over NFS, just manipulate files and I’m not sure that’s something you really need to do a lot of on a router.
I don’t recommend using the shell on routers for day-to-day management. Instead, consider using a network configuration management system like rconfig. I’ve used RANCID in the past, but I suspect something more modern like rconfig will be useful to you.
My experience with Fedora KDE has been very positive with the caveat that the default package selection has been a bit bloated and it’s not just my impression. github.com/edythawne/KDE-Minimal-Install exists for a reason. Stability-wise the experience is good, the liberal update cycle is nice.
Personally, I did not find Kinoite so appealing but maybe things changed since then (I think I tried it out a year or so ago).
This has less to do with distro, and more to do with Desktop Environment choice. Anything on Wayland is great with touchscreens. I’m on Plasma, and it’s pretty fantastic.
