It’s a rite of passage! I had to learn it so now you do too! Why, when I was young I used to have to walk to school, uphill both ways, in the snow… :-P
Disregarding the DE-shaming (which, lol who cares? let people use what they like) how do you even figure OP uses Gnome? I can’t make out anything on their screen from the picture apart from the neofetch.
Uh, no need to apologize? I’m not offended at “Gnome being garbage”. I don’t feel any offense at all, to be honest.
I am slightly annoyed at the “too-bad-it’s-Gnome” comment, which is why I pointed it out. It’s fine to not like Gnome, heck, I don’t like Gnome. I don’t see why that should translate into having a shitty attitude towards people who do like it. I’m just glad people are using FOSS, whether it be some nerd dev on an obscure tiling WM perfectly customized to suit their needs, or some tech-illiterate noobie using Linux Mint and a GUI software manager.
I guess I was wrong. But I just can’t stand gnome. Their devs are insufferable and it’s so incredibly unconfigurable. I have to use it at work (at least I can use linux) and it’s just so frustrating. I can’t stand people voluntarily using gnome
I feel like Emacs is going to suffer with the prevalence of window managers that are shortcut heavy. I looked at learning Emacs but the keyboard shortcuts all interfere with Awesome so it’s a nightmare. The only way I’d manage is by switching TTY to terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F-key which kinda ruins it!
I already got functional laptops (an Alienware M15 r3 and a very recent HP Pavilion) but none of them come close to my Thinkpad T480 in terms of comfort of use, the overall build quality and the damn awesome keyboard.
Too bad that all (?) recent Thinkpads now have soldered RAM.
I used emacs when I first started programming because it was what my dad showed me and I always thought it was easier than vim. Then I used a bunch of other things for a while and mostly use vim now and whenever I try to use emacs I am so confused because it makes so much less sense than vim after actually using both
I’ve always preferred vi commands, they make sense and are mostly abbreviations or regex, all the other editors have the strangest commands…
To write and quit in vi :wq
To write and quit in nano: ctrl-o, confirmation dialog about tmp files, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog about exiting… weird feeling that I didn’t actually save the file… reopen, okay it saved, ctrl-x, confirmation dialog, weird feeling that I accidently edited the file…
I used nano for years until I forced myself to learn the basics of vi(m), now whenever something opens nano by default it annoys me and I immediately change the editor to vim 😂
Meaning quit without saving. If no changes have been made, you can :q and that will work. If you’ve fumbled and made any change to the file, you’ll need the ! to get it to quit without saving.
Yes, it’s him, I was just pulling your leg for the “literally me” kind of comment
(btw, Terry is literally me (I am the best programmer that’s ever lived))
Probably an average. I think the above average types usually have a vim keybinding configured to send current buffer to CIA via curl so they don’t have to use bloated web browser for doing everyday task.
Honestly, when I learned that rEFInd supports loading dxe modules natively I swapped and never looked back (NVMe boot drives on ancient computers, my beloved)
I broke it the same way years ago! And now I haven’t updated openSUSE Tumbleweed in 4 months and I know I won’t have any issues when I do, there’s no rush!
The worst I did, a computer without turning it on and not being updated for 2 years. Long long ago. I think I even got a huge change, don’t remember if it was a big kernel version or the change to systemd. It basically just worked and there was a single thing I had to do that was in the news page.
I keep meaning to set up timemachine but just roll the dice every few weeks. I think it bit me once and it was only for the weirdo wifi driver I needed and installed the lazy way.
The blog is probably smart to check if you see anything weird in pamac but otherwise I’ve either been very lucky or things have been pretty stable.
