Trying to get Heavy Gear 2 to work
I can’t just let Plasma be.
At one point in college I decided to make myself take notes in ed for a semester for the lulz
How did it go? I use ed once in a while, but honestly just for fun, I wish I had time to learn it better.
It was fun, but vim ultimately made more sense and is what I used for note taking most of the time now.
i self host
Using runit instead of systemd, everything these days is made to work with it so redoing system services to work with runit is a headache, but the boot times make it worthwhile
My laptop will not allow my to login via GUI since upgrade to fedora 41/GNOME?/mutter47. Works with a New account. I have jet to fix it
I haven’t had to compile a kernel in 20 years.
I don’t have to… I get to!
I am inside neovim and I cannot quit
Only 5 hours? That’s quite fast! It took me years to configure my NixOS system. It’s not even complete yet. It would be great if there were a GUI that took care of the entire thing, could lock dependencies (no, not flakes), add it to version control with signed commits and secrets, and the configuration could be shared across devices. That’s all possible with manual labor but having that out of the box for GUI users would be amazing.
Anyway, I feel this post too much 😅
I mean the part with configuring Nix in a GUI is what Snowfall is trying to do and there are a lot of GUIs for Git as well.
It’s nice that separate solutions exist but noone is going to understand what’s going on, what version control is, what pinning is, and so on. And even if they did, finding separate solutions for them is a pain. An all in one solution would be the best.
I run gentoo. Going to be doing a manual kernel soon. Wish me luck.
My Arch never break every time I update it, honestly it’s pretty boring
Yes. I don’t fear updates anymore but then i install everything, AUR, flapjacks, several DE’s and break the system. I’ve come to realize that I like tinkering since DOS, I’ve accepted it and I shall be installing arch again this weekend
I customised my keyboard layout so now when using Corporate Laptop i always type with errors
I can’t live without the EurKey layout! Even had to get approval to add it to our systems at one megacorp I worked for.
EurKey
Interesting layout. What do you like about it?
I do a lot of programming, which is generally easiest with the US layout (since most languages were designed using this) but I also type frequently in a couple other languages which have extra characters. For me it’s easier to use than switching layouts.
The only rebind I use is tap <caps lock> to <esc> and hold <caps lock> to <ctrl> and that is already enough to confuse me when using setups not configured that way
The most annoying thing is “;” vs “.”. I switched them because the dot is much more useful. So now i always type twice to find out which comes first 🙄
Ive spent way too much time trying to compile and install coreboot
I don’t have a million “fancy” cloud features and the latest software support but I don’t care. I’m happy and my computer does everything i want.
The only pain point i have is that KDE plasma 6.3 removed the option to toggle off the audio icon from programs that are playing audio. So stupid, why would i need to see constantly whats playing audio. I know what’s playing audio because I told it to play audio
I have a similar Plasma 6.3 issue. I use a software KVM to control my work laptop. Now I get a pop-up notification when my controls are being captured and sent to the other computer. Yeah, I know I’m doing that, it’s deliberate. I’ve been using a software KVM for 8 years. No way to turn it off that I can find that doesn’t also turn off all pop-up notifications.
I check my backup notifications by looking in my junk mail for anything labeled “Spam Quarantine Notification” because I can’t be arsed to fix the SMTP whitelist rules to allow local network relay.
