Yeah. Everytime I’m for a visit, I have to show my mom again how to copy/paste things, access files on her USB drive, where to click to do an update,…

But she loves Bitwarden. Has been app consistent in using random passwords for logins, both on desktop and mobile.

Thanks, but for the little C# I need to write I’ll stick with nvim :D (Yeah yeah I know)

Incidentally, when I started to learn programming, I definitely was using an IDE (I can honestly not remember which one - I was following some book which included the setup of the IDE and instructions for that IDE only).

But even back then it always bugged me that I did not know what was going on in the background. When a button did not do what the book said it would do, that would turn into frustration because I could not understand what had happened, or why something failed. Sure, part of that was just inexperience, but even today, I easily despair at GUIs.

I could for example never get started with Godot because my brain just does not connect all the checkboxes and sliders with what is happening in the background. Bevy, on the other hand, was super easy to pick up precisely because there is no GUI.

Maybe I am just weird.

(Also I do not want to discourage anyone from using GUI tools, I originally just commented to support the “Linux is dev friendly” statement)

Hm, yeah, if you have an IDE made for your language, I suppose you can get around it for most things. (But that is not Windows-specific, most of those exist for Linux as well, after all).

Still, I have (for example) not worked in any project yet that did not have some bash scripts to automate project-specific tasks. Ireonically, the only person using a full-blown IDE in my team is also an absolute crack at the CLI.

I know those are anecdotal, but I would still maintain that it is very difficult to completely get around the CLI, and frankly, I do not see the benefit of doing so. An IDE is esssentially a nice wrapper around tons of CLI tools, and being able to use and understand them can only be beneficial.

Fair, but for those there presumably is a CLI as well? And conversely, what is stopping you from using a GUI debugger onLinux?

I was more thinking along the lines: you’d be hardpressed to find a debugger that does not have a CLI

Can confirm, moved to NixOS.

Same is true for Windows.

Frankly you cannot get around the command line when developing.

Sorry, I though my comment was sufficiently self-humerous 😅

Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D

All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.

Don’t get me wrong, that’s also janky, but it’s my fault jank.

I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were… seedy.

Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it’s worth it for German language audio IMO.

Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.

I have not had a failed download yet.

Generally I agree with everyone else, Linux Mint is great.

However, if you really want to not worry at all, you could just buy a laptop from e.g. Tuxedo or System76. They come with Linux preinstalled (I think in the case of Tuxedo at least, you even have a choice of which Linux Distro?), and are guaranteed to have no hardware “difficulties” with Linux, i.e. even if you put another distro on it, you won’t encounter driver issues.

(Those have become very rare anyways, but do put a damper on the “Firsttime Linux Experience” if you do encounter them…)

Matrix does have stickers

Is there something like r/okbuddychicanery on Lemmy?

As others have said, you can completely disable the stock launcher through ADB commands. At that point, if you hit home, you’ll be asked which app to perform that action with. Select your launcher, click “Always”, and done.

We get birthdays off, not counting towards the 30 days paid holidays, which is completely separate from unlimited paid sick days. Oh, and also since last Wednesday, the entire company is on holidays, we’re back 2nd week of January. Doesn’t count towards the 30 days, of course 👍

Dang that’s impressive

Or disappointing, Idk

Newer bathrooms here just don’t have doors. Just two right angles. Can’t see in from the outside, but don’t need to touch a door handle.

It’s perfect.

No need to push beginners towards arch, they’ll become curious and check it out just for the meme anyways

On an unrelated note, have you heard the good news about our Lord and Savior, NixOS?

Thanks! Yep, same thought about the version checks. I’ll spin up a VM for now and see if that allows for suitable experimentation, otherwise fingers crossed I don’t brick the device.

The web-server thing is probably safer, agreed, but packaging my own update is just so much more tempting… :D
