Neovim. I tried to use it a year ago, but I felt like I was fighting it every time I just wanted to make progress on my project. VSCode doesn’t get in my way. I’m going to give it another shot in a few years.

Goun ,

Haven’t used neovim, but I had to try vim way too many times. I can’t use anything else now.

theshatterstone54 ,

Try kickstart.nvim. I was skeptical until I tried it. It’s a very good starting point for Neovim. Pretty much eberything else I’ve ever tried is either too bloated, too complicated, too outdated, too overwhelming, or a mix of the above. Link: github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim

docker I guess, I still don’t know how it works, create them, etc

kionite231 ,

You don’t have to know how it works in order to use it. I don’t know either but I could host services using docker. trust me it’s way easier than it seems.

warmaster ,

Same here. Even easier if you use an app to manage it for you like dockge, portainer, Cosmos, etc.

IronKrill ,

You don’t have to… if the project you want to use has a good setup process. Otherwise you’ll be scouring Docker docs, GitHub issues, and StackOverflow for years.

I kind of want to try wayland just to be modern, but I’m pretty happy with xmonad and don’t want to learn another window manager.

cizra ,

I migrated from XMonad to Sway, it checks all my requirements. I don’t miss the Turing-complete configurability.

You might want to look into River, a tiling Wayland compositor inspired by xmonad. Disclaimer, I’ve not actually used xmonad before so I’m not in a position to compare the two. But River is configured entirely through riverctl commands. Its “config” is an executable, by default at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/river/init but you can point it to a different path, which can technically be any executable file that just executes when River starts. Ordinarily it’d be a shell script calling all the riverctl commands you want to get your River set up the way you like it, but it could be any executable you like really. You can also use other languages other than shell scripting.

It’s still in pretty early development, but I daily drive it for my main general-purpose machine and it works completely fine. I use it for web browsing, coding, gaming, chatting, general productivity, etc, all works. I’ve noticed some minor hiccups but nothing breaking or unusable. Tbh I would say it’s more stable than Hyprland which I’ve also used and have noticed that Hyprland updates (especially from git) would frequently break it, whereas I was running River compiled from the latest commit of master branch for a while and never had an update break things.

UKI. I’m still using grub because I know how to use it. I will definitely make the switch one day when I have an afternoon free or something.

Zed - I’ve been kind of using it for one-off edits, but it’s just not mature yet for most languages.

Have a source?

Somewhere on Lemmy but dont bother to look as it has no search.

There also is a Github issue. Search for “zed automatic download plugins”

I think a lot of the recent AI tools could be fun as toys to play around with, but I’m just very uncomfortable using tech that exploits everyone who doesn’t own a huge megacorp.

Also, emacs as a replacement for my graphical editor. It feels like there isn’t a “neovim” style modern version, and there’s a steep learning curve to configuring it.

Also, Wayland. Come on, Cinnamon. ;_;

dragonfly4933 ,

If you want something similar to vim or neovim, but without all the fuss learning how to configure it and install plugins and such, you could try helix.

Mainly Firefox. It has quite a good extensions engine, but the overall UX just still isn’t there compared to other browsers. I really don’t care about all the ethical or moral reasons people try to come up with for using it, I just want a browser that has a lot of good functionality in comparison with Edge or Vivaldi.

And while I am aware of some of the forks like Floorp and Librewolf, I find the latter to be too hardened, and the former to be behind compared to upstream.

moonlight ,

Firefox is really pretty customizable, more than most other browsers.

I've been using this theme:

This is the one I’m using, if anyone needs another suggestion. I also have some local modifications to remove the minimum tab size. I don’t have a hoarding problem.

Virtual Machines, but I’m too dumb to figure it out.

Wanting to spin-up but constantly delaying…

Elkenders ,

The dependencies and wonky updates mean it’s not a bad thing to wait but it is good.

FrederikNJS ,

The dependencies get drastically easier if you use Docker. Likewise many, but not all of the upgrade issues also get fixed with Docker.

Lapce, an IDE written in Rust. It’s nice and light compared to most IDE’s, so I use it a bit on my aging laptop from 2015. However, it doesn’t have the extension ecosystem or polish of my favored IDE, VS Code.

Common Lisp. It would take a long while before I’m comfortable working on a project using that language. There’s also Lem editor but setting it up is a pain on NixOS.

gramgan OP ,

That’s my first time hearing of Lem—it looks fantastic. What’s the issue with it on NixOS?

konidia ,
  • There is no lem package on NixOS.
  • Common lisp related packages tend to be outdated
  • NixOS violates FHS to allow each packages to build against specific versions of dependencies, so CL tools might not work as expected.

There a few things I’ve wanted to try for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it.

AstroJS (I’ve tried it, but only half-arsed)… It’s cool, but the lack of native react support scares me…

Cosmic DE… Still waiting for the alpha.

Python. It’s a good language, I’ve spent some time learning it, I’m just failing to find a use case for it atm.

Textual (Python framework). It’s really cool, but OOP scares me.
