I’m wanting to do that, and steam has made it possible, but I have just a couple of games holding me back still. Not the games’ fault, it’s just that I’d have to buy them again on steam and I’m po’.
I just switched from fedora 39 plasma to green debian, it’s been very pleasant to have “it just works os” take care of things, including X11 just doing it’s regular old thing.
But if course, Wayland is the future and I will happily use it by the time it becomes stable enough for a debian release. Go Wayland!
The whole point of using Linux is the freedom that we can use what we want. Don’t play down other DEs you might not like, because the variety is what makes our environment amazing.
You can use what you want. I just say X11 is not developed anymore really, since years. It is decades old and insecure by design. Wayland just works, if not supported XWayland is chosen automatically.
If you use MacOS or Windows today, you will see that Linux has no permission system at all. This is simply insecure.
Now that you know about ci(, I highly recommend taking a look at tpope’s plugins. Especially the surround plugin. It can change the surrounding parentheses and tags (if you’re editing an HTML or XML document). Quite cool. Also, there’s much more in tpope’s library of pugins.
PS, did you know that zsh has a vi mode, where you can use typical vi commands to edit the command prompt instead after the default ones? Quite useful as well.
vim’s shortcuts like these are giving me 'gasms and regret(that I wasted so many collective hours using Ctrl + arrow/mouse over this). it’s a weird feeling.
and yeah, you never learn vim. you just learn it enough.
I tried it twice. it require enabling affinity support, which causes vscodium to freezes after an hour of use. might be an issue just on my machine, but it made be use just nvim :)
ive been using arch for a couple of months and the only thing that has broken is the timezone
i have tried using the same command to set the time as i did when i first installed (it worked) but now it just wont changev. if anyone wants to help, id be pleased :]
i tried using the wiki to fix it and now it has the correct timezone. realpath answers “/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo”
though the xfce time still shows that the pc time is 16 minutes late. date command does the same. (exemple: phone shows 15:16, which is the actual time, while pc shows 15:00)
though i dont live in sao paulo, it is just a little north of here and should be in the same timezone. also, when i installed the OS with that timezone, it showed the correct time.
Well, the other side would be operating systems you can’t really screw up too badly because they are locked down harder, so perhaps it’s fear of the unknown?
Or in the office, the hardware-software relations between the laptop and Windows and in some parts Linux are strained at best, where drivers, power management, and so on get crappy. E.g. after a year or two of updates, it gets out of control and nice things like hibernations don’t work. It’s usually a driver for some small thing you don’t care about that forgot to read the Windows specification change and now it can’t do that power handling in a good way. Oops the computer refuses to sleep and your bag is burning, your battery is 1% when picking the computer up again.
I completely understand that with windows, especially with hibernation like what the fuck is “windows modern standby”
but with Linux, it depends on the distro you use.
if you’re using something such as Pop_OS, I can pretty much guarantee you you’re never going to run into a power management issue or even a driver issue for that matter since its based off of Ubuntu and is very well supported.
That’s a lot of money, but same sentiment in the opposite. I would avoid any dev job requiring me to use Windows. Chances are they’re also using some crap tech stack too.
I’ve seen plenty shit stacks on macos tbf. Windows has better window management which saves a lot of time when you’re juggling between seperate windows.
I’m not sure, many developers use mac to get working unix tools and working “enterprise” tools at work like Teams and other crap that the company uses for “everyone”. Sadly many of these tools work like crap on Linux and maybe in best case the web-version is workable.
You’re confusing developers with power users here. At my company, the developers can do one thing well, but are far, far from power users with any technology. The amount of times I’ve seen them get stuck at a simple error message without doing more than throwing their hands up thinking they don’t have permissions or something is actually broken, without doing the least bit of troubleshooting is both baffling and frustrating.
