There is literally and figuratively no reason to not use Neovim for both.
No, I use Neovim. But this I use 100% of the time.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?
1·2 months agoA few years ago I’d say Vim but nowadays it’s Neovim for me.

Linux@lemmy.ml•How do you feel about distributing small Linux tools via GitHub and Gumroad?
21·2 months agoGitHub is not acceptable for new projects since June 4, 2018.
It’s already hard to find an actually fully working Linux phone that is even close to being a daily driver.
You can also replace individual components. It’s basically a bunch of binaries using an API.
The main problem is that people don’t understand that it is NOT “just an init system”

Linux@lemmy.ml•What is really likely to happen to you if you use an OS that doesn't comply with age verification laws.
9·3 months agoEver heard of parents? It’s not the job of the OS or the browserto monitor and control a kids internet access.
In most jurisdictions you need to be an adult to legally get an Internet access.
So people using the Internet are either adults or under the supervision of adults.

9·3 months agoThe browsers sooner or later will always respond “18+” and do not ask the OS.
Time to roll back various workarounds in dozens of projects.
It’s the normal driver in the state it was when Nvidia dropped support. @Ooops@feddit.org described it very well.
I don’t know the situation with Ubuntu, but on Arch Linux older Nvidia drivers are available as legacy driver DKMS modules working with the current kernel and tools.
So basically: Yes, this will work on a technical level.
My 1080 is supported by one of the legacy driver packages and is roughly 10 years old now.
I am pretty sure something similar exists for Ubuntu.
No, get a ladder.
Not-wired connections are always and without exception a workaround for devises where it is impossible or impractical to use a wired connection with.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Which directories should I back up in Windows before moving to Linux?
14·4 months agoExactly! Your user data is stored in
c:\users. This includes, well, your user data for all of the users, including all user-spefific configuration files and application data and actual files and directories created by the user.Unfortunately lots of configuration is stored in the registry and is useless for transitioning them over to Linux. Same with most Windows software that doesn’t use the registry. You’ll unfortunately also find configuration files all.over the place. Might it be in the application’s installation directory
c:\ProgramData, or somewhere else.

Linux@lemmy.ml•A modern and simple font (pre)viewing application seems to be an impossible thing …
1·5 months agoI did, and I just don’t “feel it”. Those is all great software but none of them really fits my specific use case. They all seem to be deeply connected with desktop environments or being just plain old font managers.
My dream is something like an image viewer, but for fonts. A bit like
displayfrom ImageMagick does it, but more like this.





So all we know is that some company wants to sell something at some point in the future.
