Image display is an important feature for me. If konsole supported it, I’d just use that. If I’m on a gnome system I’ll pretty much always change the terminal because gnome terminal has a lot of issues with font rendering that I find annoying

A union wouldn’t actually help in this case since MS laid everyone off anyway. They only cared about keeping the IP and wouldn’t have really cared about striking workers. Antitrust laws are supposed to stop industry consolidation due to a large competitor buying a smaller one, but courts have been doing their best to make them unenforceable.
I used to prefer Gnome before the KDE 6 update due to the rough edges in KDE. After KDE 6 came out I’ve tried it again, and it’s incredible. The team has spent a lot of time on polish for this major release and it allows KDE’s suite of more fully featured applications to shine. GNOME apps like gedit, nautilus, and gnome terminal tend to provide the minimum level of functionality, whereas KDE’s applications feel like they’re trying to work for power users. Kate goes as far as supporting the LSP for code autocompletion. KDE’s desktop is much more customizable as well, so you don’t really need extensions to get the functionality you’d be looking for in GNOME, stuff like the application launcher are built in. KDE connect is a really useful application you can install on your phone to get file transfers and notification sharing, among other things, between your phone and computer while connect to the same local network. Performance wise they seem pretty equal, even on older hardware, but KDE might have a bit of an edge in terms of RAM usage, YMMV depending on how you customize the desktop. The one thing I miss about GNOME is their “start menu” experience, I haven’t found a way to replicate that in KDE, but I haven’t looked very hard either. Overall I wouldn’t hesitate recommending KDE, plasma 6 makes me actually feel like the Linux desktop is ready for mainstream.
The fediverse could pose a threat to the market dominance of the Facebook platform and instagram, as there are applications that aim to be direct competitors (frendica, plemora, pixelfed) already in the fediverse. If the fediverse grows, there will be no reason for people to stay on Meta’s platforms without them reducing advertisement and increasing user privacy, which is obviously not something they want to do.
For neovim check out mini.align
You didn’t even mention the worst part, you can’t change the default terminal emulator.
The main killers for me were the lack of anything like the treesitter text subjects (contextual treesitter objects) the lack of anything like leap nvim. But it lets all the stuff that’s normally a bit of a headache to set up work out of the box.
I disagree with your photoshop vs gimp point. People don’t use gimp because the ui is complete shit. Tons of people switched to Krita for drawing when that came out because it actually had thought put into the user experience. People don’t use GIMP because no matter how much anyone begs for the devs to make the ui not suck, nothing ever changes.
He was the writer of This Week in Neovim for a while. I think he might have been adding tons of plugins to his setup and not all of them were well maintained or behaved. I’ve been quick to drop plugins that break more than once or twice, and I’ve never really had issues with stuff breaking update to update. Plus with Lazy’s commit locking for plugins it’s easy to restore your config to a working state.
That’s what config distributions like lunarvim are for
In the blog post, the author mentions using shim programs to translate between things like tree sitter and kakoune, how many of these sort of things do you use in practice, is it difficult to manage them? The nice thing with neovim compared to a setup like this is that I don’t need anything installed aside from git and the editor itself.
It’s also a nightmare if you want your config to work with both nix and non nix platforms. If I’m using my config on windows or at work, I’m not going to have nix and home manager to interpret the nix version of my vim config. On my systems with home manager, I’d like be able to install my nvim config as part of home manager rebuild. If I have home manager pull my configs git repo, it causes lazy to freak out whenever I try to update my plugins. It’d be nice to have some sort of integration with lazy that exists with cargo and similar tools but it doesn’t look like anyone’s been working on it.
If temps are going to be below 30F regularly, you’ll need an auxiliary source. My parents got one last year, if they don’t switch off it’ll run constantly to keep temps at ~55F and drive their electric bill through the roof. It works well for them during the day in the winter most of the time and during the fall and spring.
Also since this works on cards that are already old, it lets you eek out a few more years out of a card you already own rather than being a shitty excuse to overcharge for a weak card.
If you’re interested in using flakes, this repo was helpful when learning how to get my first system configurations set up in an organized way https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-starter-configs
This would be so nice in a mainstream language, I wonder if it would be possible with rust’s macro system?
Played it for a handful of hours, it’s unfortunately at it’s best when you’re rolling the enemy team or being rolled. Matches where the teams are even easily drag out into a 1+ hour slog. I did like the feature that integrates build guides into the ui.
