Tbf most of my layer toggles are happening with a thumb, which isn’t possible on a normal keyboars because they give you a 10x wide key for your most flexible digit, and no other keys in reach.
I recommend a keyboard with at least 3 keys in the thumb cluster. Once you figure out what you like and get used to it, it’s like a superpower
It was a real game changer for me. If you combine it with layers for accessing numbers, arrows, symbols, home/end etc without moving your hand, it makes typing so much comfier and faster
Funny enough I use Colemak with my ergonomic (split, columnar stagger) keyboards only, and qwerty on mobile (and on my laptop since it has qwerty keyboard labels).
I recommend, in order of increasing effort:
I used to switch back and forth between qwerty and qwertz on two different computers, and the laptop unlock passwords had a z in them. That was tough times.
I don’t know if they do but if they do I doubt they’ve improved. The technique taught by many touch typing courses is a recipe for a wrist injury. It blows my mind that regulatory bodies aren’t calling for keyboard layout reform. The “normal” row stagger keyboard as well as the qwerty layout should be in museums, not on billions of “modern” computers around the world.
got some examples of the woofs? I’m not doubting the claim just interested :D
It blows my mind that Linus is just so darn based all the time. That guy has a good take on like every issue.
eh the emacs folks are just chilling in a corner somewhere. Maybe in the old folks home together with the ed users
yeah but this isn’t newcomers making noise. This is seasoned devs making meaningful contributions, and getting reactionary responses
Nobody can maintan a fork of the linux kernel on their own or even with a team. It’s a HUGE task.
There already is rust in part of the linux kernel. It’s not a fork.
But I agree with your first statement, people are dumb as hell, me included lol
There is no “your” new rust kernel. There is a gigantic ship of Theseus that is the Linux kernel, and many parts of it are being rewritten, refactored, removed an added all the time by god knows how many different people. Some of those things will be done in rust.
Can we stop reacting to this the way conservatives react to gay people? Just let some rust exist. Nobody is forcing everyone to be gay, and nobody is forcing everybody to immediately abandon C and rewrite everything in rust.
With all that money, he could have given every person in the world $12.625 billion!!! It’s unfathomable!
not scary at all
I have seen some juniors really shoot themselves in the foot with rebasing, and I’ve been there as well before. I agree it can be useful, but it definitely requires understanding of what is going on :P
When people do a bunch of bulk renames on every commit, then you get this kind of problem a lot. But yeah still not gits fault
POV: Your codebase undergoes a full refactor for every feature
what’s with the hostility?
Basically the idea is to separate your system packages and your applications.
The system packages are installed and updated “atomically” i.e. in transactions. If a transaction fails, results in a broken system, or you just don’t like it, you can rollback anytime.
Applications on the other hand are usually installed in a containerized form. Basically, flatpak. You should avoid installing applications through the system package manager.
CLI apps is where it all gets interesting, and usually people use distrobox, docker/podman or toolbx to run stuff in containers. Although the universal blue project comes with brew prepackaged for when you want CLI apps installed system-wide without juggling containers.
The benefit is that your OS and your apps are separate. No dependencies breaking or conflicting. And if something does break, well just roll back.
Last time I had openSUSE hibernation didn’t work. I am just convinced that the entire linux community is gaslighting me about hibernation lol
I’ve tried to get hibernation working on like 3 different distros. Followed tutorials exactly step by step. Never works.
Linux doesn’t do hibernation. Anybody who says otherwise is not living in the same universe as me.
Dvorak was designed a long time ago for typewriters, i.e. it tries to alternate hand movements, which some people like but many find it makes them slower.
Colemak is meant to be closer to qwerty and was designed for computer keyboards.
Then again I’m sure Dvorak is already miles better than qwerty and the differencesneith Colemak are minor. I think the reason I chose it originally was because of some youtube video but I don’t remember what it was called.
Also I really like the Colemal DH mod.
