I see a lot of people here bitchin about bad Linux desktop experience and they I see they were all using Gnome. Just give KDE a try people. It is very light, clean NixOS KDE5 installation consumed 450MBs of RAM.

Wow that’s good! I want to get used x220 and new 9 cell battery. If I could pull of 7-9h battery life I would consider it a great success. Btw i would be using only StumpWM, Firefox and Emacs. For media consumption I got MacBooks.

How’s the battery life? OpenBSD is nice and nifty little UNIX experience, definitely geared towards users who know what they are doing/wanting.

Problem with C/C++ is maintaining and writing code. I am sure you are well aware of Jonathan Blow's efforts in writing Jai programming language. If not take a look at his Youtube channel. Pretty eye opening. (I am no game dev btw)

Emacs and elfeed combined with swiper were the revelation for me personally. I am finally satisfied with offline RSS Mac experience.

Ok, so what are options in terms of external displays? I guess this will make my Dell 1080p monitor much less appealing... I planned to jump to 4k 24inch anyway... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For my next desktop build I’ve decided to go with AMD, except for GPU where I have to stick with nVidia because of CUDA. I would gladly drop 15% gaming performance, and invest saved buck into better monitor for example but CUDA is so much b

Org-mode. I won’t be wasting any words at it since I think it is well known thing here. Besides that I use Apple Notes. They sync and work flawlessly between iOS and Mac devices. And lastly, pen and paper. I like writing things down.

Used Gentoo and FreeBSD for years. I knew what i was up to with Arch. I’ve used it in high school for few years with different desktop env. So I think I was more than prepared for Linux experience. Operating systems are my fetish if I may s

What the fuck?! I don’t get it, why?! They want us to focus on Metal? I definitely need to but desktop now, plus I want CUDA! Ryzen 5 2600X with GTX1070 and I’m done.

I am really sick of monopoly and centralization of internet. For last few years many of important projects changed hosting to GitHub... Now this? We have alternatives, and good ones (one may argue much better than GitHub), but where is all

I totally agree with you on that. But the whole point was that there is much certain possibility for things to go wrong with inexperienced developers. I won’t quote the comment in the reply below, but that is the thing... edit: typing on th

I like this blogpost. But as stated in it, “my project”. Writing C project, alone is pretty different than writing C with 1 or more persons. In highschool we had group project. Writing simple tcp/ip protocol in C. Holy shit did I see s
