hitagi , in linux boot times

I did not make any accurate benchmarks but I think my boot time is faster with systemd-boot as opposed to grub.

atlasraven31 ,

Is tinkering with boot types something you would recommend to a beginner? Is it safe?

Ashiette ,

It is definitely not beginner-friendly. But not undoable.

estebanium , in Most uncomplicated Printer that just works™?

I recently ordered a Brother printer, and it just works. “Brother MFCL3730CDNRF1” At one point it was a bit tricky to add it to Cups, but after it, it worked flawless.

forgotmylastusername , in Coders, what is your workflow on Linux
  • Sublime Text.
  • Whatever build toolchain of the current thing I’m using.

Yup a lot of the stuff he says, is true. Especially the vocal Gatekeeper minority and the problems with hardware support.

SinJab0n , in KDE Connect possible alternatives?

Valent

I just make a quick search and found about it, looks promising. If u test it out tell us how it worked.

fushuan , in Improving zsh autocompletion?

Every time I install a new machine I install zsh and then run the install script in here: github.com/romkatv/zsh4humans

It’s a simple script created by the powerlevel10k zsh terminal theme author, and it’s simple and awesome.

theshatterstone54 OP ,

Okay, I LOVE this. If I ever decide to do a new zsh config, I will definitely use that. There’s some pretty cool stuff in here, but I’ve already got everything configured pretty much the way I want it. Thanks anyways.

Another alternative I like is zim. I feel it’s snappier and less fiddly than oh-my-zsh.

theshatterstone54 OP ,

I’ve just skipped “frameworks” and straight up source the .zsh files directly into my .zshrc. Less bloat, more speed.

sagrotan , in Coders, what is your workflow on Linux
@sagrotan@lemmy.world avatar

My workflow is: my neovim config is - at last - nearly perfect, quickly configurable for many languages on the go, nevertheless I don’t code because when I get home from work I have barely the energy to play for half an hour.

Croquette OP ,

Yeah I get that, I have a job now where I can pretty do whatever I want, so I at least get the feeling of creating something while at work and doing fun code.

But I don’t feel like coding when I’m done with my day

Literally not even slightly what you’re asking for, but have you considered using bash with ble.sh? I’m also a former fish user, and ble.sh replicates all of fish’s quality of life improvements (that I used, at least) and then some, all with a single source command in my .bashrc.

theshatterstone54 OP ,

Just tried it, it’s alright, but it seems that zsh meets my needs better currently, so I’ll stick to zsh.

southsamurai , in KDE Connect possible alternatives?

Join? It’s pretty much the default for android usage.

SinJab0n ,

Nah, I just check out and its close source proprietary shenanigans.

HERRAX , in Distro suggestions

I’m using EndeavourOS on one PC, and Pop_OS! on another. After a bunch of distrohopping (pure arch, manjaro, Linux mint, fedora, etc.), these are the two I like the most and have decided to settle for (for now at least lol).

flakusha ,

I would recommend EndeavorOS too, easy to install, sane config, nearly pure Arch.

Testing out Artix right now - I wanted to try out lightweight init system.

MiddledAgedGuy OP ,

I do find I like the idea of not having systemd. I don’t hate it, but it feels unnecessary. If I end up back on Arch, I’ll check that out!

akash_rawal , in Red Hat refuses Alma's CVE patches to CentOS Stream; says "no customer demand"

That’s too much effort. Just advertise the CVE fix and let a paying customer do the effort.

humanreader ,

Free market at work!

kylian0087 , in Distro suggestions

Maiby opensuse Tumbleweed is something that might intrest you. Although it is company tied.

happyhippo ,

Probably the most underrated distro ever.

Scraft161 , in Improving zsh autocompletion?
@Scraft161@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

you should be able to reconfigure the plugin, I have it set to pull from history first and after that look for standard command completion using the following:

<pre style="background-color:#ffffff;">
<span style="color:#323232;">ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_STRATEGY</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">=</span><span style="color:#323232;">(history completion)
</span>

important is that you put this BEFORE sourcing the plugin.

the github should carry more information on how to configure this plugin.

PS: I use all of 4 plugins (fzf-tab-bin, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, zsh-history-substring-search) and I have a better shell in zsh than I will ever have in fish, I don’t need anything more fancy and oh-my-zsh is hell to work with compared to a simple .zshrc I handrolled because it’s got any other shell I know beat (yes I know of nushell and it is cool, but it’s even less posix than fish). also, once you’re done run zcompile .zshrc, you won’t regret it.

theshatterstone54 OP ,

It worked! Thank you so much. That’s all I need. I have seen people use zsh-history-substring-search and fzf-tab but I don’t currently need them, so I won’t use them. Once again, thank you so much.

No problem, I was looking for this after I tried using fish seriously for a month and it was the only thing I needed

Commenting so I can remember to try this out! Cheers mate!

Scraft161 ,
@Scraft161@iusearchlinux.fyi avatar

You can save posts on Lemmy, for me it’s a bookmark icon (I use liftoff) they will show up in your bookmarks.

I love this feature as a nice “come back to this later” button

nlm ,
@nlm@beehaw.org avatar

Yup, did that too! :)

INeedMana , in Improving zsh autocompletion?
@INeedMana@lemmy.world avatar

autosuggest commands from PATH and autocomplete directories

I think you might have autocompletion disabled. I have these features in my zsh

theshatterstone54 OP ,

It works now, thank you for the help.

Mubelotix , in Fuck nvidia.
@Mubelotix@jlai.lu avatar

This is not accurate at all. It always works using Ubuntu’s GUI and you don’t have to reboot or anything. Only issues I had was that you have to reinstall those drivers each time you upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu

Ghoelian ,

I have upgraded from driver 525 to 535 on 3 different systems (work PC/laptop and personal PC). Every single time the screen would go black and I had to force reboot.

This is absolutely accurate, at least for some people I guess.

ZeroPointMax ,

No, my sister’s system has the exact same symptoms, despite using the Ubuntu GUI. So at least under some conditions it’s accurate.
