I love linkding, couldn’t live without it.

I’ve used herbstluftwm on my main desktop for years. Love it. Manual tiling works well for me. Totally flexible and customizable. Switch between floating and tiling with a keypress, etc.

And then on various other machines.

  • Xfce on my desktop at work that I don’t use that much (work mainly from home) and just needed to set up quick. It’s totally fine, like xfce always is.
  • Gnome on my tablet (basically a Surface knock-off). I don’t really like gnome, but it’s the only thing I’ve tried that works well OOTB for a touchscreen.
  • PekWM on an old macbook running debian. Great stacking WM. Super flexible, and the tabbed windows for any app are cool.
  • LXQT on an ancient (2009?) dual-core laptop that I mainly just use for writing in nvim. Works well for a simple setup.

Linux Mint Debian Edition. Very windows-like + automatic updates = ideal for people who don’t really want to have to learn anything new (assuming your parents are like mine in that respect).

It can be set up to work with a webdav database. So yes, you could self-host the database and access it from clients with local zotero installs.

That’s impressive even just from a n/vim perspective. Thanks.

I’m on it now on arch. TBH it’s kinda making my life harder because some things I’m used to using have moved. I’m sure I’ll see the advantages of it at some point.

With that minimal self-hosted version, do you know if you can log into it using the firefox extension on linux? The only client they mention is the iOS one.

Can you please ELI5 tmux?

I am fairly familiar with Linux, I’ve been using different distros for some years now and have done some config editing here and there. I am also a web developer and use the terminal quite a lot and so I always stumble on people’s recommendation to use tmux and how good it is, but I never really understood what it does and,...

The irony is that once you find your way around through the default keys and search a little you soon discover how easy it is to reset them with “sane” settings. Same for window frames, etc. But yes, there’s definitely a learning curve.
