I once spent half an hour fiddling with the font sizes in Mint. Does that count?
You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
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
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
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.
another day another game of whack-a-mole commenting out packages just to get a rebuild to not fail
Kinda like biology: knock out a gene (package) and see what happens.
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.
