Meanwhile as a guix+nix user i can just build it against that old library version because nothing can conflict with each other anyway

Nah, just declare your packages programmatically

I’m not a programmer so maybe i can’t be too harsh of a judge on this, but i’ve heard multiple programmers claim that AI writes better code than them, and i just find that alarming, cause based on what i’ve seen genAI do in every other field surely it can’t be that good right? Makes me wonder how good they really are at their craft to begin with.

He is dealing with it, that’s why he’s venting here. Not too difficult to grasp i think.

on Linux users switching back to Linux after 10 minutes of using Windows in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
I’m not sure what the correlation is between gnome 3 and standalone window managers. Initially i switched because i liked the idea of it being more minimal, but i also like the dynamic tiling model, which is something that doesn’t seem to work as well with most DEs, aside from maybe cosmic, but atp i have no reason to try it.

Yes, openbox is a standalone window manager. I used it as my first standalone window manager years ago before i moved on to tiling.

I think your problem with tiling is a matter of switching mental model, or it’s just not for you. But you’re right, having like 5 or 8 windows open on a given workspace on a dynamic tiler is not a good experience, which is why i never open more than 3 or 4 windows on a given workspace. I either close what i don’t need or send it to another workspace. The benefit of tiling is that you don’t have to bother arranging your windows cause it already does it for you, and you can see all windows that are open at a glance. Even in a floating environment i doubt having 8 windows open at once is a good experience. You’re gonna be doing a lot of alt-tabbing and clicking the window you want to switch to, or whatever keybind DEs use for that.

Yeah i never bothered with separate /home because it feels like such a balancing act to decide on size compared to root. Especially when you use nix/guix, it would be annoying to have a small root with the store filling up over time and having to do garbage collecting often. Also, i just back up whatever files i want to make sure i don’t lose, and when i do a clean install i actually want everything to be wiped anyway, including home.

Yeah, i guess it basically comes down to when i want to tinker vs when i have to tinker.

Oh thanks for this. I’ve been using history | grep $something for the longest time, but i always end up copy pasting the actual command cause i didn’t remember how to invoke the number, and copy pasting is so quick that you end up never looking up how to do it properly lol.

I did try evil-mode, but i just couldn’t get used to the differences between vim and helix, so that’s why i went with helix-mode instead.

What really helps for me is pressing control with the inside of my pinky knuckle, and alt with your thumb. That way your fingers can stay on the home row. If you have a very low profile keyboard or are on a laptop, best you can do is probably remap capslock to be control.

I’m using Emacs, but after getting a bit used to the vanilla keybindings for the past couple of weeks i still feel like vim-like motions are better, so now i’m playing around with a helix-mode package to emulate helix keybindings (i was using helix before switching to emacs). One change i did make though is bind end-of-line and beginning-of-line to $ and 0 like in proper vim. Helix uses END ans HOME keys for this and i hate it lol, no idea why they thought it was a good idea to move that far away from the home row for that.
