Ive been using it for several years. I hardly think about it at all, which is pretty high praise.

Sometimes I’ll start up ConnectBot, which is an android ssh client, on my meta quest. Then I connect to my laptop and attach to a running tmux session so I can use the laptop keyboard but see the text in a virtual window.

My actual laptop setup is pretty boring though

There’s a built in snippet system too, called skeletons, but most people seem to prefer the yasnippet interface.

Octorine ,

I would like Debian and the fsf to come to some kind of agreement so Debian can ship the emacs documentation.

There are companies working on providing that experience for Linux. System76 is one. You can buy a laptop with their is pre installed. Everything works, including suspend. If something breaks, you call the support number or email and they either talk you through fixing it or sending it in for repair or replacement. It’s not that different from having a Dell or HP.

Octorine ,

Soon we’ll be able to emacs the way the developers intended.

I tried and failed to install it on my laptop last year. Couldn’t figure out the problem and went back to pop. I’m messing around with it in a vm, though, and liking it a lot. I may try again when I have some more time to troubleshoot.

I thought that, but I had identical results using the stock install media and the modified nonguix one from systemcrafters.

The weird thing was that the initial install went fine, even after the first reboot. The problem was the next boot after my first system reconfigure.

Not only could I not boot my system after that, but I couldn’t boot the install media either. The only thing that would work was the installer for the most recent pop os.

I was thinking something to do with nonvolitile memory.

The real problem was that the guided install - guix pull - system reconfigure - reboot process took about three to four hours each time, so I gave up after a few iterations.

I did try playing around with bios settings a little, but I’m sure I missed some possibilities.

I’m pretty sure I was set up for substitutes, but this was a while ago.

I did end up replacing my router a few months after that, so it may have just been that my connection was very slow.

Also, every time I tried it and it didn’t work, I had to do a full Pop Os install in order for myguix install media to start working again, which added a few minutes to the process.

This is why I have a windows box. I’m hoping when they finally release SteamOS 3 for PC it will have stable SteamVR support.

Octorine ,

What about Redox?

Octorine ,

The way nix deals with packages is very different from most distros. If you install a newer version of a package, the older version just gets hidden, not removed. This makes it very easy to rollback or recover from errors, but it does mean you tend to use more space.

Octorine ,

Drm on Steam is optional. It’s up to the dev whether to include any or not.

However, if the game uses any steam features, like achievements, voice chat, leaderboards, etc., then those won’t work without steam.

Octorine ,

Fzf isn’t really experimental. It’s pretty mature at this point. I found it to be pretty innovative, though, adding an interactive spin to the find program.

Octorine ,

I have a Galago from S76 and am very happy with it. I replaced the SSD a few months ago and found the service manual well written and easy to follow.

My next machine will probably be one of theirs too.

Octorine ,

I really like the disk usage analyzer in gnome. The ui/visualization is really intuitive and useful, and I often wish for something similar on windows.

Octorine ,

Here’s a screenshot of the Gnome one, which is actually called baobob:

Wiztree looks interesting, I’ll see if I can install it, although my work machine is pretty locked down, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s off limits.

I just started using Linux... any great tips?

I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (Cinnamon) on an empty laptop a couple days ago and have been experimenting a lot. I’m coming from being a Windows user since I was just a little kid playing old DOS games on my grandpa’s Win-98 PC back in around 2000. My daily driver is currently running Windows 10 but I am pretty adamant...

Octorine ,

I think I’ve learned and forgotten that tidbit a couple of times. It’s something that I need to do seldom enough that when I finally do, I don’t remember the keybind .

Octorine ,

It doesn’t. All the time you spent reading manuals and tweaking configs to get it to boot quicker does.

Octorine ,

A couple of years back, Samsung either released or leaked some images of a headset that looked a little like flamera. I wonder if they were working on a similar kind of light field passthrough.

Octorine ,

It may be a sort of shy Tory effect. People don’t volunteer that they run Gnome because it’s seen as the default mainstream option, but if someone uses xmonad, they’re going to tell you about it.

Octorine ,

I hate FPS games. They’re probably my least favorite genre. I really enjoyed HL2.

Although, I was playing through the series to get ready for Alyx, so that may have colored my perception.
