Linux@programming.dev•Users of Arch-based distros, why don't you use pure Arch?
5 dayswow thanks for noticing, this means my instance is officially one year old. Time to make a meta post! :D

5 daysSuper, that’s a complete guide on how to start with Voyager, thank you so much! 😁

8 daysThanks so much for that detailed explanation!
Whooo the Voyager, so nice! That’s been on my list for quite a while now, must be so handy. If only that price could come down a bit :)
20 wpm is brutal! That brings back memories from the dvorak struggles haha. So frustrating. But a good strategy of yours, to do the switch along with the voyager, that way the frustration isn’t focused on one particular thing which can then be easily tossed aside.
Ergonomics are important to me too, as I’m not really a spring chicken any more. I already switched to a trackball mouse, as that gave me the most problems in my hand muscles, they’ve gone entirely ever since. But my posture at the desk is still an issue, so voyager might help me out there.
I also see Colemak is more modern (than dvorak) and keeps a lot of the punctuation and shortcut keys in the same position compared to qwerty, that’s encouraging. I also see -DH moves d and h so the vim shortcuts remain? Ingenious, absolutely perfect! I feel giddy now, I might give Colemak-DH a try this weekend (and hopefully longer).
Vim had quite a few learning resources, little games to make me get used to the bindings/motions. Did you use similar games or exercises to train your Colemak-DH muscle memory?

8 daysbacked up somewhere
yea they’re in a git repo, one of the benefits of doing this
I don’t think it will be a matter of combining, more of commenting out one import while uncommenting the other (I hope 😆)
Different shortcuts, so custom setups for everything hmm. I don’t think NixOS has much if any advantage here :)
Have you been doing Colemak for long? I’ve always wanted to get off this qwerty, but the brief stint over at dvorak wasn’t too great. But I’ve since pushed through learning vim … somewhat, seems a similar wall of frustration. I might be up for another challenge.
Why did you choose Colemak?

9 dayshmm those configs get added to the nix files, not sure how I leverage that include directive in such an environment. Should be fun to find out!
NixOS wasn’t that bad. I’m not that familiar with the nitty-gritty of Linux so yes it was tough the first days. Setting up everything just right, recreating the Sway layout from before. Still, once that works, it’s smooth sailing. I’ve not yet had the misfortune of having to do a reinstall, perhaps I’ll reconsider then 🤣

9 daysI switched to nix not too long ago, and I must say, it’s been a smooth experience. I can’t imagine removing DMS to install the other one via apt or pacman would be safe for the niri config. NixOS could give me a clean separation. And if it doesn’t work, the rollback is easy, with 0 impact on my niri or DMS configs. My days of adventure are over I guess :)

9 daysI’m on nixOS, I wonder if I can easily swap DMS/Noctalia in/out via the flakes, to check the differences myself. I feel an evening or weekend project coming up :D Thanks for the tip!

9 dayshaha indeed, why reinvent the wheel :D I hadn’t heard of Noctalia, it looks beautiful. Once I’m done gawking over DMS, I might try switching :)

9 daysYea that 100 searches runs out really quickly! That’s how they get you: offer a great service for free with limits, a very cheap subscription to switch to, and within months you’re on it :D But I do like it. Upvoting, downvoting sources so they move up or down in each subsequent ranking, or blocking sources outright. All very convenient!
As for the bars, waybar on the EOS version, but what the vanilla sway came with, I can’t remember. Also, I made the switch to niri+DMS last week, saying goodbye to Sway after many years. Mainly for the extra workspaces, as the 9 in sway was too limited.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the evolutionary advantage of very long hair on human heads?
10 daysYou had it: people whose hair didn’t smell when burning probably died more often, skewing the chances of survival towards smelly-when-on-fire hair.

10 daysI used EndeavourOS for a long time. I liked it mainly for the Sway config making it all so nice out of the box. And of course the easy install.

Top of my list: Sunshine by Danny Boyle. I was blown away by the images of the sun on regular HD back when it came out. Still have to rewatch it in 4K.







What if society takes away the billionaire’s money so that he ceases to be a billionaire. Does the billionaire still exist then?
