it’s kind of a hassle to get these themes working on HDPI, especially if you’re trying to use multiple monitors with different resolutions (and the pixel graphics scale horribly). I have an rpi attached to a 1080p monitor with no scaling and it’s really chill to use. also, because web browsers only support a few tabs before slowing down, I get less distracted and can focus on some real computer poo poo, like configuring Xresources. its the closest I’ve been able to get to the time I really liked computers. Best Bi Geek Squid posted:tfw when linuxers unironically defend using vim in 2021 while also complaining that windows 10 is too hard to understand I’m embarrassed to say this but I’ve mained BSD and Linux for more than 20 years and never had any reason to use an editor that wasn’t nano or a graphical one (scite, later sublime). I knew how to delete lines and insert them in standard vi (nvi on bsd iirc) in order to configure FreeBSD but it took me until this year to learn vim, which has been pretty useful to know in my day job where I’d just use nano (or copy a binary of micro over scp). mawarannahr fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Sep 16, 2021 |

I use vim with a bunch of plugins and it pretty much mirrors every neat little trick you can do vscode and makes for an overall a good experience. Also I feel like I’m lazy so I only have to learn it once and now I’m good for the next 25 years until I retire. gently caress da man and learning editors. muscle memory for life.

lmao @ JavaScript anywheee also does the new sublime kind of suck or what? AUR helpfully upgraded me to v4, which I have not bought a license for, and I really don’t think it’s worth the money if you’ve already got 3. it seems buggy and starts slower, which is not what I want my general scrawlspace/personal pastebin.

It did occur to me that MS is slowly making my life as a linux jockey easier. I started using a vim plugin that consumes .vscode files that people checkin to projects at work. Lets me clone work repos and make small changes to code I'm not super familiar with without messing up their bespoke spacing and tab setup. Another example is the Language Sever stuff MS put out. Now my vim editor is talking to all the language servers for the p-langs I work with and telling me compile errors and stuff before I ever even save the file. having been using vim for a decade. It feels super futuristic and slick.

I assembled a new Linux desktop today I installed Fedora Silverblue on it and then installed Steam and played a bit of Sekiro under Proton. It ran almost perfectly; there was a bit of stutter at first. Don't know if it persisted after the game got going but if it did then it was probably too brief to notice. Gaming was the only thing I still used Windows for so I really hope that Valve manage to fix up that last elusive 10%. Really not a fan of having an encroaching first-party malware infestation on my computing devices.

I mostly use nano for simple config file editing, because It Does The Job. But I do use vim for a few specific things, like prepending identical text to a bunch of file names to create download URLs. Just ls > file.txt, then open in vim, ctrl+v, shift+g, shift+i, ctrl+shift+v, esc. Done. Could this possibly be scripted or done in some sort of fancy one-liner? Sure, but I already knew enough vim to just do it like this in a couple of seconds. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 11:58 on Sep 16, 2021 |

wasn't nano just spun off the alpine text editor, which itself was an open source reimplementation of the pine mail client? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_(email_client) There seemed to be some pretty draconian restrictions on Pine that would make a reimplementation a reasonable step

Sapozhnik posted:I assembled a new Linux desktop today yeah, a few games i play tend to stutter a bit when i first run them, in a way that's super noticeable. i think it's compiling dxvk shaders on the fly as needed or something. after a few minutes it's barely noticeable and after about 10 minutes of play it goes away completely, and it seems to get cached since the stutter isn't there anymore when playing next time i think right now the only games that i know wouldn't work for me are the ones with really lovely drm or anticheat schemes, which i don't buy anyway

Yah sure, I'll just start this hardware + sofware integration on line 1 and finish on line 2000. No problem Of course if I need to change position I can just take my hand off the keyboard and use the mouse to click in the general area of where I need to be, then take my hand off the mouse and use the cursor keys to navigate on a per character basis until I'm in the right position then return my hand to the keyboard. Great.. that doesn't break my concentration at all..
