I had a dual gpu Dell Xps laptop a couple of years ago, and the best experience I had with it was PopOS. It was the only distro that worked with that laptop out of the box without just completely disabling the dgpu.

people like to hate on LTT, I wouldn’t take it personally or anything

I don’t think it’s that unreasonable to have something called “video podcast” in the scenario where you have an actual podcast, which also happens to have a video recording available on the internet as well. Sometimes I like to watch the video versions of podcasts to see the facial expressions of the speakers. “video podcast” seems like a natural shortening of “video of a podcast”. I think the important part is that the content is first and foremost a podcast, where it is meant to be listened to. As soon as it stops being possible to listen to the podcast as audio only, for example if they start relying on visuals that can only be seen in the video, then it is no longer a podcast.

theres a plugin called hardtime.nvim that does almost exactly what you have described. It goes a bit further and actually prevents you from doing certain things if you meet a threshold (like spamming j to go down a bunch if lines instea d of something like 15j to move 15 lines down)

vim + terminal is actually objectively more powerful than any IDE, and most IDEs include a way to pull up a terminal as a crutch for things they can’t do. In any case It seems you can’t be reasoned with. Your argument is just a strawman about what you say other people are saying.

I’m actually fairly young and wasn’t around in the 80s. I graduated college with a CS degree in the past 5 years, where I was exposed to many different tools and software. What did I come out of that experience with? I like the terminal more than any IDE I had to use in any class.

Now in the real world, we don’t always get to use our favorite tools for every task, obviously. I do need to use other, more enterprise, software from time to time for work. But whenever possible I go to the terminal because I’m faster there, and I can quickly automate things.

I’m not saying the terminal is the best tool for every job, I’m just saying it is the best for ME. Notice I’m also not putting down other tools here. It seems to me like you might be the one with a superiority complex.

it actually does work by default, you just probably missed how to do it in the help pages in vim. For those curious, the system clipboard is its own named register in vim (:help registers to learn more) and can be accessed with either “* or “+ depending on your how your system is configured.

To copy a line: ”*yy or ”+yy

To paste a line: ”*p or ”+p

You seem to believe that people only use the terminal if they HAVE to. I doubt anybody these days HAS to type any amount of code in the terminal, but choose to anyway. Like probably anyone else I have access to modern tools and infrastructure, but I choose to do work in the terminal because I’m more productive there. I use (neo)vim because I like it more than any other text editor I’ve used, and have no problem writing code and debugging in the terminal.

yeah I had the same thought when I read this post. I like hyprland, and will continue to use it because I like it more than all other WMs i’ve tried, but with every new post by Vaxry I cringe more and more. I was hoping to learn about some honest criticisms of Cosmic, because like many others it is something I am excited about and would like to keep up to date with its progress, however the post reads like a child doing nothing but complaining and making strawman arguments. I mean seriously, nobody is saying Cosmic is the “coming of christ” or whatever, so there is no reason to spend so many words explaining how it’s a problem.

I actually recently decided to make a CLI blackjack game as well! It was a fun exercise, although my focus was more on the visuals since I enjoy making ascii graphics.

It was this comment where I learned that Gilles Castel had passed away :/ what a loss

Obviously you know what they meant, no need to expect newcomers to have a complete knowledge of what exactly linux is. As far as someone coming from windows or OSX is aware of, “linux” is the alternative.

You can’t get around not having a VPN if you don’t want your ISP to know you are doing. Sounds like you might not have a complete idea of what exactly a VPN is doing and why you need one.
