I prefer tabs because they aren’t consistent
I personally find 2-space indented code harder to read than 4-space. If I’m working on someone else’s codebase which is indented with 2-spaces then I have to cope. But if it’s tab-indented then I can just edit the setting in my editor to display a tab char as 4 whitespace chars
Uses spaces instead of tabs.
I heard that he also moved the CDN for user-uploaded videos to xvideos.com
I would add:
cheat
- a tool that lets you make and use your own cheatsheets
gomi
- replacement for the rm
command that has a trashcan, so if you accidentally delete something important you can just restore it
bat
- modern cat
, with features like syntax highlighting, line numbers, etc
eza
- modern ls
, with cool features like file icons
broot
- a different than ranger
/lf
approach to navigating folders
mdr
- a markdown viewer
Also, I think you should add a note that ranger
should be installed from git because most distros package version 1.9.3 and that is 4 year out of date and has lots of bugs that have been fixed in the git master branch
NixOS. There are lots of great things about it (like atomic upgrades, easy rollbacks, no dependency hell, safely mixing stable and unstable packages, and more) but it’s killer feature is that (almost) everything about the system is specified in a single config file
I’d describe it as “NeoVim for people who don’t want to spend time configuring it”. It has syntax highlighting (for pretty much any language you can think of) and LSP support out of the box. And the config file is just a TOML file. Here’s my current config for example:
theme = "monokai_pro_spectrum"
[editor]
line-number = "relative"
middle-click-paste = false
[editor.statusline]
mode.normal = "NORMAL"
mode.insert = "INSERT"
mode.select = "SELECT"
That’s it. No need to deal with Lua or VimScript
Also using commands after typing the :
is easier than in NeoVim since Helix will show you a list of available commands and a description of the closest match (or the one you choose from the list with the tab key). It looks like this:
I use Helix for quickly editing files and coding
I’m not willing to use it even while it’s still free, so no. Mastodon FTW
Yeah, my mom didn’t have issues with that, but she did have issues with other almost as basic stuff
Yeah, but when I tried to get my mom to use Linux, she kept asking me how to do some things like moving a file, printing a PDF, saving a document in Libreoffice (even though she had no trouble doing it on Windows also with Libreoffice) etc. I’ve set up everything to be as seamless and close to Windows as possible but she still always had trouble doing something so I gave up, and reinstalled Windows. Ig my mom is just less tech savy than your family ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mostly yeah
I think the reason is that 1. Linux is still too hard for the average person and 2. The average person just doesn’t care
Yes, you don’t have to write bash scripts or compile the kernel yourself, but still, Linux is different in many ways from Windows. This is on top of the fact that most people don’t know much about tech in general and often have problems with (imo) very basic stuff. I honestly can’t imagine them downloading an ISO file, flashing it onto an USB stick and then booting from it. Most people probably don’t even know that Windows != PC
Then there’s also the fact that the average person just doesn’t care. They just want to get things done
(sidenote: I might sound elitist but I’m not. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect everyone to be interested in tech, just like it’s not reasonable to, for example, expect everyone to be interested in cars. It just so happens that the tech industry is tightly connected to freedom, privacy, etc. while the car industry is not)
AFAIK not yet
Polish (my native language) and english (duh). I also want to learn lojban for fun, but I keep procrastinating
