Replying to nobody

I've been technologically regressing. I spent years scrolling YouTube and using Visual Studio, then paired down to books and CLion...

Now I'm learning to code in Vim and seriously eyeing tiling window managers and using the CLI for almost everything. I don't think I realized how many distractions were in my life.

I haven't regressed to man pages yet, but it could happen.

wmaker and blackbox.... :)

or xmonad but its too much of a "both" to actually be effective.

i think vim is for people that hate themselves, why do you need a set of seperate keys every time you want to run a command? lol.

i enjoy the CLI, but i also enjoy a gui that doesnt get in the way.

i prefer my books on paper in front of me. 👌🏿

i learned linux from manpages and f around and find out. when i started back in high school

I'm Plasma on Arch for now, Yakuake for a always-on terminal. Been looking at hyprland for a few days, but I'm not ready to change just yet.

Went through a Gentoo phase. Loved the result, hated maintaining it. But yeah, my first was Slackware on floppies. Those were brilliant and rough days all at once.

i just use debian 11... and its straight forward enough.. xfce4..

i want a terminal i just click F1 and there is tilda..

guyake is too resource intensive..

xfce is super clean.

I really enjoy it. I switched over when gnome became unusable around 2010. recently in the past few years i had a few issues to iron out with lightdm vs the others, and i think wayland kinda screwed things up but i think they learned and fixed it

We agree on Gnome for sure then. I shouldn't have to install a tweak tool to minimize a window.

btw i run an irc server, you idle anywhere? this is so much flipping overhead just to have a simple conversation... and so inefficient.

Vim just started clicking for me, and LunarVIM made a nice gateway drug for coding. 😉
