Euphoma,

Its funny because a lot of people do this even though its completely unhelpful in solving their problem.

Euphoma,

Emacs keybindings are in the terminal and are in MacOS (from what I’ve heard online).

Euphoma,

I’m not using lsp in Neovim so if I need lsp I’ll just pull out emacs. If I’m already in the terminal I’ll usually pull out Neovim to edit a file, but if I’m writing like markdown or something that uses images I like the ability to display images inline in emacs. LaTeX is always something I do in emacs because there’s a built in pdf viewer in emacs and there’s built in spell check also. In the terminal in emacs, sometimes I open up Neovim to do a quick edit because of muscle memory from the terminal. One thing that’s really cool about Neovim is that you can embed it in other applications, so if I really have to use an ide that’s not emacs, I’ll just do that.

I don’t use Neovim for complex tasks, because personally I find it a bit hard to discover commands compared to emacs. The menubar in emacs is really useful for finding useful commands in different major and minor modes.

Yeah there’s a thing called EAF, which allows python and javascript to be embedded in emacs. It allows for more complex applications to be built in emacs, similar to VSCode. I’m not sure how difficult it is to make something with EAF, but I haven’t really seen any things written in it that aren’t in the EAF organization. I think the future could be EAF or maybe something like EAF to be able to leverage the power of the javascript ecosystem like how VSCode does for a lot of plugins. There have been some attempts to rewrite emacs in different languages, but emacs is too large, and you would lose the old ecosystem by doing that.

There’s a larger community around Doom Emacs, and Doom Emacs looks nicer. Honestly though it doesn’t matter that much which one you use since they are both pretty good.

Euphoma,

Nvim is more optimised, while emacs is more extensible. Basically you can modify core parts of emacs while it runs. I tend to use both, depending on the situation, with a lighter nvim config. Sometimes the 3 second emacs startup time is annoying so I use vim then. I think its fine to try both.

Regarding emacs declining popularity, I think that in the long term it could be a problem, since most people don’t want to learn elisp just to configure their editor. Elisp is very powerful in emacs, but its design is very different to other languages, so as emacs contributors get older, it could possibly lead to less and less new contributors.

Idk about the vim distros, but I think Doom Emacs is easier for beginners to get into.

Euphoma,

When I used wsl, it felt fine. There were some problems with running more GPU intensive tasks, but being able to use linux-only software while I was restricted to Windows was pretty good.

Euphoma,

What are you trying to do on WSL? I think the whole point of WSL originally was to have a linux terminal on Windows, before they added graphics in WSL 2.

Euphoma, (edited )

In my experience, any HDMI’s or Display Ports plugged into my GPU have terrible performance on Wayland while working perfectly on X11, so it seems there are still problems. Though tbf X11 doesn’t work at all with HDMI’s plugged into my motherboard so it could be a hardware issue? I have a 11 year old motherboard so idk.

Euphoma,

I’m on amd

Euphoma,

There are extensions for obsidian compatability in Vim and Emacs.

Euphoma,

There’s an installer that makes a basic config for you where you can choose KDE as your DE.

Euphoma, (edited )

You can add something like this to your config: stackoverflow.com/…/how-to-add-nixos-unstable-cha…

You just need to have it fetch the tarball for nixos 23.11 instead of nixos unstable.

Euphoma,

If you hold down the mouse button while hovering over the address bar, that starts selecting stuff. Is there a reason your usecase isn’t covered by this?

Euphoma,

I think pretty much any wireless headphone should work on Linux; my Airpods seem to work fine.

Euphoma,

Nix flakes are a feature of the nix package manager to make nix packages more reproducible.

why doesn't GNOME have a mascot??

KDE not only has 1 mascot, they have over 6 or more mascots!! Yet GNOME only has the foot, that’s interesting, they need a mascot. And made by Tyson Tan or someone with a similar art style, it would be amazing!!! But anyway GNOME is the best desktop environment and it’s better if it’s vanilla with some small...

Euphoma,

Just stumbled upon this comment. Actually, Windows has been using anime mascots for years in asia. Notably, they haven’t made a new one for Windows 11.

web/low memory alternatives to Krita and GIMP please

recently I bought a Chromebook, I love it so much, it has Linux container enabled and I downloaded Firefox, GIMP, and Krita, but my Chromebook is only 64GB, so that can be a lot!!! So what web apps or low storage alternatives can I use?? I know Photopea, but what about drawing? Thank you!!

Euphoma,

I think magma is something else, the tos on aggie.io doesn’t mention anything about copyright.

Euphoma,

Aggie.io is pretty good, it supports pressure sensitivity and layers. It also has online collaboration.

Euphoma,

It seems to work fine on my browser. What adblock are you using?

NixOS on OnePlus 6 with Extra Steps, or the Diary of my Descent into Madness (pavluk.org)

My biggest blog post yet, and it’s about running (almost) vanilla NixOS on a (formerly) Android phone! This was 50% fun and 50% exhausting… you solve one issue and another one crops up right away… it was certainly an interesting educational experience....

Euphoma,

I’m not them so idk. Also I think Canonical uses a slightly different ubuntu logo these days.

Euphoma,

ubports has been completely community maintained and separate from Canonical for longer than it was actually under Canonical.

Laptop not working after installing nimdow

I have installed nimdow window manager. I have auto-login enabled. Nimdow is the default option. The only options I have at boot are (from the bootloader): default, timeout, edit, resolution, print and help (help is not working). How am I supposed to go back to GNOME or disable auto-login? I tried accessing the recovery shell,...

Euphoma,

Yeah. I just thought that the OP was unable to boot or something like that.

Euphoma, (edited )

There’s a guide here to show Japanese fonts by default and also how to configure your browser to show Japanese fonts by default.

Euphoma,

I’m using a cpu from 2013 and gaming in containers seems to work as well as it does outside of containers.

Euphoma, (edited )

I think performance may vary depending on your setup. My experience is definitely not universal, but I’ve never experienced VR that works well on Linux yet. IMO you should keep trying and see if you can get it working, but if not Valve could fix VR on Linux when they finish the rumored Deckard headset.

Euphoma, (edited )

I got PCVR working on Manjaro (my main installation is NixOS and I installed Manjaro to see if VR would work) on my Valve Index, but for some reason audio sounded like it was bass boosted a ton and games ran at 30 fps. IMO PCVR on Linux just isn’t there yet. The steam vr dashboard didn’t work at all either, might’ve been because of the new Steam VR 2.0 not prioritizing Linux use at all.

Not sure what the experience is like on quest, but I would think its not too far off from my Valve Index experience.
