Water1053, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

I’m going to put together a SteamOS system for my daughter with an old 3900X and RX480 so we can play side by side!

victorz,

old 3900X

Oh God, I need to upgrade soon again, don’t I…

Water1053,

Has it been more than one month since it’s been out?

victorz,

I know right? I have to remind myself that I built this computer in 2020…

A_Porcupine, in Name em

We clearly need a “Periodic Table Song”, but for libs. 😅

You can also put vim inside VSCode via extensions!

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 :)

passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

Was he electroncuted or something?

bram was a chad, mate. I once opened vim without any file(just plain vi) and saw help poor children in Uganda. read whole uganda.txt file and then saw how his organisation is fully involved in getting material benefits to the ground. further went down the rabbithole and saw his org’s photos in uganda.
made me really appreciate the man.

to answer your punny question, he was ill.

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.

whoa, that guy is really a vim plugin artist. imma go and install it now. thanks for sharing!

I don’t have much experience with zsh other than using it on office mac. but will try it anyway.

bonjour123,

If you’re going to check out zsh, make sure to take a look at oh my zsh! There’s a lot to explore there, but the plugins are cool.

Wait til he learns about doom emacs which is emacs + vim keybinds (and a lot of other QOL features)

Emacs is a great OS with a bad editor

Jesus Christ. you’re telling me this now?
I had heard about doom emacs, but never bothered to really look into it.
there goes my weekend.

32b99410_da5b,

Doom is EVIL! github.com/emacs-evil/evil

Well, Doom has Evil, evil collection, etc enabled by default. But that’s less quippy.

rtxn,

DistroTube is a great source for Doom-related knowledge (as long as you ignore his “old man yells at cloud” videos).

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

thanks to your comment, I looked up a couple of his videos. Emacs(especially org mode) sounds very interesting. I’ll be investing more time in it.

Black616Angel,

Lol, haven’t heard that name in a long time.

I watched him for a while and even kinda liked some of his “old man yells art cloud” videos, but he lost me around the time of his “explaining Linux to newbies” video.

Vim is a great editor without an OS*

This new year is my year of Wayland. I’ve got Hyprland going on my new work laptop. Still using my old one with i3 for the time being since I’m too busy during the day to thinker around, but I’m slowly getting this new one ready. Hopefully will be done by the new year.

victorz,

What do you like about Hyprland compared to i3? I’ve been using i3 reliably for over a decade, but did try Hyprland and thought it just felt like a new Compiz in its default state. What drives you to it?

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

That’s pretty much exactly what drove me to it, plus the excuse to get started on Wayland. Like it or not I think Wayland is the future.

I’ve been on i3 for near a decade for what it’s worth.

victorz,

Interesting. So the wobbly animations and stuff is up your alley, basically?

Neil,
@Neil@lemmy.ml avatar

Yessir.

only0218, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

Get to Linux and use full vms on windows Hopefully And an AMD card

Immersive_Matthew, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I cannot move to Linux despite desperately wanting too. I am a VR developer and right now you do not have any open source game engine options that support VR and due to the SDKs I work with, I am tied to Windows right now. Given that spatial computing is the next platform, I really hope Linux options develop but it is not looking likely.

PoolloverNathan,

AFAIK Godot supports VR and runs on Linux, but it doesn’t have good 3D performance currently

Immersive_Matthew,

That is true, but it not only has poor performance, none of the industry SDKs are compatible. Hopefully this gets fixed one day.

possiblylinux127,

Could you get away with Linux in VM? Also you could run it on a separate device like a laptop

Immersive_Matthew,

How will this help me with VR development? Can you explain the envisioned setup?

foster_hangdaan, in I love vim

I have been using Vim for over 3 years now and still learning new things. Today I learned about ci". Thank you.

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

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.

Telodzrum, in Come tell Tux🐧your Linux plans for next year to cheer him up

Made the switch to full-time daily driver Linux this year instead of dual booting. Next year is the year of Arch.

Murdoc,

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’.

Telodzrum,

I managed to get the last few of mine like that (all Ubisoft, fuck them) running through Lutris. I know some people swear by bottles, too.

puppy, (edited ) in I love vim

TIL. Thanks OP. I have been using “vi” followed by “x” followed by “i” all this time.

cabhan,

For what it’s worth, you can replace xi with just s or c

somenonewho, in I love vim

Funny I had to Google ci" to remember what it does even though I use that sometimes.

I’ve committed to learning vim years ago and in most situations im faster in vim than in nano etc. (especially because of muscle memory) I still feel like I’m not properly using vim to it’s full extend (like whenever I remember using registers it feels like magick and I’m sure there’s more like that)

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

how often do you use macros on a day-to-day basis? it’s next on my learning list.

dukk,

I personally use them pretty often. They’re not natural to me, I spend a little bit thinking about them, but they’re still decently useful.

lemmesay, in I love vim
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

explanation for the command ci":
c: change. analogous to delete(d) followed by insert(i)
i: inside
": the double quote
so, it’s basically change inside double quote(easier to remember as it sounds exactly what it does).
you can similarly do di((delete inside parenthesis).

an inferior alternative on vscodium would be shift + alt + right/left arrow

ExLisper,

What about yi’'?

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

that also works. thought users would figure that out.
