Oh thanks for this. I’ve been using history | grep $something for the longest time, but i always end up copy pasting the actual command cause i didn’t remember how to invoke the number, and copy pasting is so quick that you end up never looking up how to do it properly lol.

Based Void enjoyer

I did try evil-mode, but i just couldn’t get used to the differences between vim and helix, so that’s why i went with helix-mode instead.

What really helps for me is pressing control with the inside of my pinky knuckle, and alt with your thumb. That way your fingers can stay on the home row. If you have a very low profile keyboard or are on a laptop, best you can do is probably remap capslock to be control.

I’m using Emacs, but after getting a bit used to the vanilla keybindings for the past couple of weeks i still feel like vim-like motions are better, so now i’m playing around with a helix-mode package to emulate helix keybindings (i was using helix before switching to emacs). One change i did make though is bind end-of-line and beginning-of-line to $ and 0 like in proper vim. Helix uses END ans HOME keys for this and i hate it lol, no idea why they thought it was a good idea to move that far away from the home row for that.

Yeah that’s true. On the desktop since i was already using more DIY-type distros it’s not that difficult to avoid it, but with a more specialized usecase like the steam deck it’s hard to find something that mimicks the SteamOS experience without using systemd, or at least there’s not an OOTB experience distro for that as far as i know. I’m still using the stock SteamOS on my deck for that reason, it doesn’t feel worth it to replace, especially since i only use mine to game and don’t tinker with it like my desktop.

Idk, i mean there’s Artix. I’ve used Void for like 2 years and gaming was fine.

Shepherd gang. Pretty sure only one distro uses it, but i’d love to know if i’m wrong.

Well yeah i’m not saying you should do that and have never done that myself either lol. It did happen at the pcmasterrace subreddit though, which is funny cause it seems like these days i hear more of them complaining about people mentioning linux than there are actual people mentioning linux. I ended up muting the subreddit cause it got so annoying.

This is pretty much what it feels like when you suggest this in the pcmasterrace subreddit or a windows community lol

When i said unique i was purely referring to consoles going up in price instead of down. RAM cartel was already a thing long before trump though, as much as i hate the turd.

Even if that were true, the prices wouldn’t increase either. I think there’s more factors at play though that make consoles cheaper over time.

The market conditions are very unique right now since this is caused by all the AI-slop, and consoles going up in price like this has never happened before. If we think long-term though, i think it will still apply like it used to.

Yeah the other reply has a lot of good information, but it’s also briefly mentioned on the wikipedia page. Debian and Fedora consider it to be non-free, and it’s not FSF-approved.

Yeah like the other reply said, most of the actual kernel is libre since its gpl licensed, but you still need firmware blobs for a lot of devices that are proprietary. The libre kernel is patched in such a way that they don’t even allow you to load firmware if you wanted to, so you need the regular linux kernel for that.

Well the reason i care is because i use a distro that is exclusively libre (Guix). I do have to use a separate channel to get the regular kernel cause i simply can’t go without it, but i figured i may as well use libre-only as much as possible, especially for something as easily replaceable as a font. I can still get the font by other means but chose to use something else. I’m currently using Lato, which is fine and i’m getting used to it now, but i probably still prefer the look of Ubuntu. In the terminal i use Mononoki, have been using it for years now and haven’t even felt the need to try anything else, i still love how it looks.

I hate the fact that i like their font so much. After i found out the license was pulled into question and my distro wasn’t packaging it, i switched to something else, but so far nothing really hits the same way for me as a GUI font.

Me after 3 months of using PopOS 5 years ago.

I don’t know why this is a thing, but i’ve seen it before where people claim wayland is only good for gamers, and since gamers are cringe to them they don’t like it lol. It’s funny to me considering wayland had forced vsync for the longest time and they refused to change it.

Same for dutch :)
