1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Relatable. I spend my whole day ricing my linux. I use arch btw

    I once spent half an hour fiddling with the font sizes in Mint. Does that count?

    [–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 25 points 4 months ago

    You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

    [–] poinck@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

    That is very fast. I count in days.

    NixOS, Helix, and Hyprland 😁 But I'm graduated, so I just procrastinate everything else instead.

    Sell me on Helix real quick. I've heard about it and it looks interesting but I'm not sure what the hook is.

    I came from vscode and nano. I wanted something within the terminal as powerful as vscode. I tried doom emacs and vim but they didn't feel right.

    Reasons I use it:

    • I found it easier to learn than vim/emacs in my opinion
    • Written in rust
    • Pretty easy to get language servers running
    • config is super easy

    It's better than the Dome fossil. #PraiseHelix

    [–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

    I initially read that as "It's better than dome." Which is an objectively solid pitch for anything.

    One well rounded package that doesn't need a complicated config or possibly unmaintained plugins.

    I stopped using emacs because I was spending more time in config files than actually doing anything useful

    [–] stetech@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

    Look into Helix :D

    It’s missing plugins… but aside from that, as of now, it’s about as configurationless as it can get.

    I just have some extra keys mapped and that’s it. Single <30 line config file.

    Hot take, micro is the best text editor. Easy keybinds Has plugins

    Works very well for editing text

    I'm have been NixOS curious for quite a while now. I am afraid I will be consumed by it, if I fully commit.

    Addressing your concerns in order: You should be. You will. It's not up to you.

    [–] halvar@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

    To anyone who needs this in the future, a lot of scanners need some extra firmware files (found on their backend's subpage, accessible from here) and those can be added to your nix configuration in a way some good people discovered here. Knowing all this would have saved me around 3 hours yesterday, so you're welcome.

    another day another game of whack-a-mole commenting out packages just to get a rebuild to not fail

    [–] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

    Kinda like biology: knock out a gene (package) and see what happens.
