vim, fvwm and Debian after 10 years of use.
I found firenvim which allowed me to edit text boxes in Firefox using neovim. couldn’t do it with vim, so I switched. love it
I bought a new laptop with a 4k screen. had to have different scaling on my external monitor and laptop screen. fvwm wouldn’t handle it… switched to kde/plasma and arch.
not sure if this is the kind of habits u were looking for 😃
why exactly do you prefer run0?
with sudo I can allow certain actions I do myself (e. g. system upgrade or change timezone) to proceed without a password, but require a password for everything else. this is important because some scripts elevate privileges via sudo. if I allowed all sudo without password I might be ruined byone badly written script…
save 80gb for root, sone swap (if not on an ssd) rest for /home. that way reinstalling or switching has minimal risk of losing my /home
i use arch. I’ve got it set up and it works really well for me. I’d only switch if I had some feature I needed in atomic that I can’t have in arch. (not just a feature atomic has, but a feature I need that atomic has)
how much air conditioning do you have? if you take public transport, is it air-conditioned?
what has red had done that makes you say the law is meaningless to them?
lol. i wonder who is paying for this?
thank you. I’ve been burnt by the lock screen bug and happy to see it fixed
lol. so I guess fedora is pushing flatpacks now? I know Ubuntu was pushing snap, so I guess fedora followed suite with a different standard. yay.
thankfully arch isn’t getting into this nonsense
it also means don’t risk everything you have for a somewhat opaque promise of something better
honestly the distro doesn’t matter so much as long as the hardware i supported. run a minimal desktop, disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.
I used fvwm on Debian for many years on old computers. worked great. now I have kde/plasma on arch. my 10 year old laptop handles it fine…
hilarious. tx for sharing. updating to include the latest OS airlines tht constantly push ads or ai would be nice
lol ditto. but the first thing I do on new installs is chsh /bin/zsh, replace caps lock with control and enable vi keys. otherwise I’m dysfunctional
you should especially do this on Friday 5:00pm in production, right before going on an international vacation with bad Internet.
i used to use zfs for backups via snapshots. but I find using rsync and hard links is much more convenient. i can use standard tools to look through backups and track which files changed if needed.
why do you want to make the switch?
just leave them. i thought I would miss some of my communities. but I don’t at all… and the toxic right wing propaganda doesn’t make the front page ever.
api changes breaking my ad free client (reddit is fun) got me to leave. never going back
honestly most distros will be fine. what matters more is your desktop environment. pick something light where Bells and whistles can be turned off. i used fvwm for many years on a lower spec system. now I use kde/plasma on wayland.
I’ve used arch and Debian on low spec systems. both were fine. slightly prefer arch cause it’s more up to date
