1·4 days agoless hard than running debian or redhat back in the 90s
Zoomers will never know the pain… and the joy and actually getting it installed!
Stable means not updated.
Oh no! I haven’t got the latest push from 30 seconds ago. My operating system is so out of date and I’m so uncool!!11

No flavour of Linux works well with them. That’s the joke or something.
If someone is accepting the fact that shit might go sideways, is willing to learn through experiencing issues first-hand or simply likes to spend time fiddling with their OS to find the perfect setup for them - that should be the Arch- and Arch-derivatives audience.
But once you leave the comfort of your parents house, time is money and no one has a spare twelve hours to get a functional OS together when another distro would do it in minutes.
Although Ive been using linux for 2 years now, and i still want an installation manager with sane defaults.
Have you heard about our Lord and Saviour, Debian?
I remember installing Debian before Ubuntu was born using an ncurses type interface and spending five minutes selecting the packages I want to install, (only for it to tell me that one package was incompatible with another and the installation couldn’t proceed!) but being able to do it somewhat graphically made it so much easier than simply by text.
An OS stays out of your way and lets you do what you need to do. Having to essentially create the basics is unproductive and a waste of the user’s time.
I’m pretty sure “Power users” don’t use Ubuntu.
1·12 days agoThis looks awesome - thanks! What’s the all-in price?
1·13 days agowhat’s “large” and what’s “cheap”?
Also forgot to point out, you can buy keys with a transparent cover over the top on ali so you can shove a piece of paper underneath the transparent bit to use as labels.
Amateurs. I use butterflies.
I get this, but an IDE should be invisible and grow as you do and not require you to learn lots of janky things before it becomes a little bit useful for you.
Need the basics, great, here they are. Don’t understand some advanced feature? Well the IDE has it here, but it isn’t in your way, mess with it as and when you want. It’ll still be there.
I don’t think one IDE does everything for different languages and its ok to swap editors depending on your workflow, your project and your ever-changing skillset.
I’m using Mate and it allows me to easily define custom shortcuts to open apps and so on. I suppose autoIt / the linux variants / custom script can add additional functionality to the keypad as well!

Other than it being your password, why?
What do you use Wayland for? Gaming?
I’m using ch57x-keyboard-tool to configure it
Great! I’ve bought similar without the dials (I wish I didn’t have to pay extra for the stupid LEDs) and was hoping there was something open sourcey to configure it with rather than their dodgy codebase for the same reasons you list!
It sounds beautiful! It’d be really nice if there were transparent rubber keypads available that could be put over phone screens. Then you could fashion an old phone as a keyboard with infinite layers. A simple flutter app to set up the shortcuts and make them configurable and badda boom!
Mechanical keyboards have a huge, fanatical following! /c/mechanical_keyboards - shame it’s dead. I expected to see posts of why the IBM Model M is better than everything else!
You’re going to be horrified to discover the software versions the military use.
