yeah, the new Plasma is hard to beat. I want to like Gnome… I just see no compelling features, really.

You don’t really compile anything during or after install with arch linux unless you find something on the AUR that needs to compile? If so, just look for .

Otherwise, a really nice system is NixOS.

Another is GNU Guix.

And Krita!

i think Zotero is indeed open source, free software

I think you might like to try it. Maybe to get a taste for it try the nix package manager first. Right now I’m kind of struggling on whether or not NixOS is the one for me or Gnu Guix. Both are pretty awesome.

Right, thank you. I haven’t had my coffee yet. I should have been more clear.

Okay, so I haven’t installed Debian in quite some time, but I think I know what’s happening here.

It’s looking for the CD / DVD “repos” because it may be enabled in your apt sources. You just have to comment out the lines involved with CD and DVD in your /etc/apt/sources.list file I think.

Uh, yeah. Cheers

Says them, I guess. Feels kinda weird to me.

And at this time, our telemetry system won’t be rolled out to any team or business using 1Password.

Uhh, what? If it’s opt-in why does it matter if team or business doesn’t have this? Different standards? To go through such lengths to explain this telemetry stuff to convince people, “Oh, no worries, yo! It’s OPT-IN! Trust us!” feels very dirty to me.

Yeah, I have been experimenting with Helix. Configuring it is so much easier than other editors out there. So far, the keybindings haven’t been too hard to manage (coming from vim.) I really like how the cursor works in relation to text editing. I may jump ship at some point.

The only reason I stick with (neo)vim is, well… vim is EVERYWHERE. Remoting into a server never has me confused because vim … is … just … there.

Silverblue is surprisingly good.

For 3D/2D -> Blender

Office stuff: LibreOffice

For programming -> Neovim, Insomnia (for testing out REST api’s and whatnot)

Virtual Machines -> KVM/Qemu (Virtmanager, Boxes, etc) This one was a huge improvement for me

I use VLC for most of my multimedia needs

For game development (related somewhat to 3D/2D) -> Bevy and Godot

Plus a tonne of others I’m leaving out. It’s really a nice feeling.
