I’d just like to interject for a moment…
People keep saying this, and i can’t entirely rule out that idea, but on the other hand i can’t help but feel like it would be very stupid for rockstar to attach themselves to a cryptoscam. The crypto part of the leaks just makes them look really bad if they are truly behind this.
Yeah i never bothered with separate /home because it feels like such a balancing act to decide on size compared to root. Especially when you use nix/guix, it would be annoying to have a small root with the store filling up over time and having to do garbage collecting often. Also, i just back up whatever files i want to make sure i don’t lose, and when i do a clean install i actually want everything to be wiped anyway, including home.
Yeah, i guess it basically comes down to when i want to tinker vs when i have to tinker.
And GNU is Unix!
How many times are these star wars games going to get cancelled man lol
Bottom right is basically RMS/extreme FOSS enthusiast lol
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.
I use GNU Guix. I already did a package search for it once and they did have it packaged, so that’s nice.
Nice write-up! I read about Luanti a few months ago and have been meaning to check it out at some point. This gives me a better idea on what to expect.
I hadn’t heard of this one before, but it looks really impressive!
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.
Continued support = nerf heists even more?
Now i feel less special with my 6950xt that i’ve had for a few years :(
Helix is a solid choice tbh. I’m not sure if it works on NixOS, but you could always try something like Doom Emacs that comes preconfigured, similar to things like Lazyvim on the Neovim side. But yeah Emacs is a lot to take in and can be a pain sometimes. I actually just got done troubleshooting and making some changes to my config to solve an issue i had where simple things like scrolling up and down in a file was causing very high cpu usage. I ended up figuring out the issue with the help from a kind redditor, but i was kinda on the verge of considering a different editor if i hadn’t manage to solve it lol.
If you’re just using it to declare packages and some configs then yeah you could definitely run like a post-install script or something on top of a minimal distro. I’ve done this for a while when i was using Void. It’s get trickier though when you consider that nix can also lock your config at a specific version of all the software you have installed, which i don’t think can easily be done on the average distro. There’s also the rollbacks, though i suppose you could use btrfs for that, but i’ve never tried it.
Haha, yeah i’m just goofing around, but at the end of the day, just choose what is most interesting to you. It’s kind of ironic how i got into Emacs anyway, cause before that i chose to use Helix instead of NVIM, cause i didn’t want to bother spending so much time configuring it. Then i tried Guix, which is a distro that you configure in Guile Scheme, so Emacs felt like the perfect fit for that, but in the end i still spent hours configuring my Emacs lol.
Well, that is true lol. I shouldn’t be surprised if a company makes a stupid decision.
