@hamm8934 4 месяца назад

I think the benefit of his approach is that the skills, tools, and environment you learn with neovim and linux is applicable outside of neovim and linux. Vim bindings exist everywhere and unix is everywhere. Emacs on the other hand is restricted to emacs and lisp.

Prime nailed the whole reason I use i3 as well - I love how quickly I can just jump to exactly the thing I want to be at. There's never the question of "Oh, where is that window again?" because the answer is "It's exactly where I decided that thing should live" and "I can get there with one combo".

@anon_y_mousse 4 месяца назад

I just use KDE because it does everything out of the box and then some, it's easy to configure 100's of shortcut keys for it, and I generally don't have to do anything to get it working and keep it working. One of these days, maybe after I retire, I'll have the time to sit down and try doing LFS.

The main takeaway I'm getting is that unless it's for content, trying to sort out your distro cuts into your schedule and time to produce videos which are your livelihood. I'm lucky enough where YT is just my hobby while I have another job, so I'm free to mess around with my distro as much as I want as there isn't an opportunity cost.

@conjurermast 4 месяца назад

I switched to Linux, because I found unable to force myself to continue using Windows. However I'm still fascinated by all the computer human interactions that are possible with window managers. (workspaces, window rules, vertical bars, hiding title bars, user customizable keybinds for everything & to a lesser extent tiling) I don't think I could go back, even if Microsoft decided to fix everything I had a problem with. So yeah, I think wanting a good WM is a decent enough reason already..

It feels like a mess and I dislike it. Persoanlly I like the idea of only having the software I'm actually using running, keeping it simple, no settings panels etc, simple + clean config files, on my linux. However, take this will a grain of salt as I've only had around 20-30 hours on the macOS side as it was my friends computer, and I've never actually used any other operating systems other than BSD's and GNU/Linux.

But when it comes to personal usage, I prefer macOS, being unix based, I can do basically all the things I could with a linux box, with the added benefit, that I know is never going to break, and I've never have to dealt with drivers or hardware compatibility issues. Yabai is a key player here, so if someone comes from advanced Linux window managers, they definitely need to try Yabai, the rest of macOS window managers are not as feature rich and customizable.

I did a Gentoo install and several Arch installs. I just use endeavourOS for my ThinkPad now cause AUR and all that good stuff, great mobile computing platform. I do like Debian as a base for docker containers or VMs that I don't really intend to upgrade often. I have a home server running AlmaLinux cause it's RHEL compatible but that's it. My PC still runs Windows cause it's too weak to justify running Linux with Windows VM, and I do sadly still need Windows from time to time, otherwise I'd probably run endeavourOS or maybe nixOS.

I ran Gentoo for 2 years (no longer do), I wouldn't say it isn't worth it. It's the same type of thing as saying linux isn't worth it, it depends what you do or need. Gentoo is worth it for learning, or customization, like custom initramfs, custom encryption setup, custom kernel etc. if it isn't your thing it means it isn't worth it *for you,* not that it has zero worth altogether.

I use Linux and macOS on my main machines (and Windows on gaming and extra machines). I totally get his "needs to be Unix" position! I can't imagine working from Windows! As for preference, I'm totally with him on i3 or a WM that follows that style of "workspace means function". I prefer macOS overall for its stability and UI consistency, and I've tried multiple ways of setting up the same experience on macOS. Yabai is nice but not perfect, but I'd recommend it (along with skhd and maybe sketchybar) for those interested in that kind of workflow… :)

20 or 30 tabs... that's _adorable._

@complexity5545 4 месяца назад

I have so many tabs open that Akamai banned my IP addresses twice. They thought its a web scraper. I have at least 100-200 tabs open at once (just for one computer). I have a 40 computer laboratory, and then some VMs running on the servers. I verified that I was blacklisted by looking up all those blacklist database like you find in snort and sorbs (and other security firewall and intrusion detection programs). It was funny and scary at the same time! I couldn't get at my own web sites. P.S. I moved all my websites off cloudflare and akamai. They have a hidden agenda to create a internet membership. People are going to eventually have to pay to get their IPs unblocked. I think I witnessed the testing bed. I used to be a U.S.P.S. intrusion detection guy. It came full circle. If you run wget or anything downloader to get files, then they're looking at you. It made me get more involved with selenium again. I don't webscrape, but it made me aware of how akamai and cloudflare work and mis-diagnose their problems.

07:28 i use one desktop/workspace for each 'theme' (work, study, fun, randon, etc) then i open 1 browser window por topic (1 per search topic, 1 per consulting documentation, 1 for youtube, etc) with all the tabs related with that theme in it .... that consumes a lot of ram, in this workspace alone i have 15 browser windows, i might have hundreds of tabs idk, so, its a good system ? no, but worked for me for years since i'm used to be anxious and cluttered :}

@seasong7655 4 месяца назад

Not sure if that happened to anyone else, but I would just run an update on Linux, and some random feature would just break. I never had that on Windows.

@Nocare89 4 месяца назад

I've had it happen but definitely 100x more on linux. Definitely a major pain to just lose wifi/modem drivers when you do an update lmao. SOL if those aren't on-hand.
