CalyxOS is the alternative to Graphene mentioned above. CalyxOS has a bit different goals - it cares about privacy more than security and complete removes Google services instead of sandboxing them (they get replaced with MicroG which is a

The way I see it, is that being able to demonstrate specialist-level skills in something is a good signal no matter the problem you need to solve. It means you can learn. As a specialist you have already shown ability to master a skill, s

Moka pot is such a wonderful little invention! If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot (pun intended). It produces great tasting espresso (the flavor is just a little different that from an espresso machine) an

To be devil's advocate (despite being a long vim user): Lapce has a GUI, so they are not in the exact same category. Having lightening fast GUI is still a novelty, because the most popular IDEs like VSCode or JetBrains IDEs have slow d

Column staggered and even more so ortholinear are easier for my brain to work with: the layout can be made almost symmetrical and fingers always go up. One thing to watch for is that many have same size modifier keys as letter keys, which I

I'm writing this message on that keyboard and I don't really recommend it. It's a literal copy of the modern ThinkPad laptop keyboards, only a little worse. It's mushy for a proper desktop keyboard, the TrackPoint is too

You can do that with Firefox Beta too, which likely will give you better experience / stability. It's a shame you have to jump through so many hoops to get it working.

Not sure what you mean. Of course I cannot live and pay taxes in every single European country. All I say is based on limited experiences of visiting multiple countries for 1-3 month long stays and then living and paying taxes in Poland.

Poland. I travelled around Europe and chose Poland for a mix of personal and quality of life reasons. Whenever I mention Europe I speak about what I observed in majority of places I visited in Europe though.

Poland. I travelled around Europe and stayed for 1+ month in several places last year before ending up in Poland. Since I have recent first-hand experience with multiple countries I say "Europe" when it applies to what I observed

My current building is different than majority of buildings with A/C here (and note - A/C is non-standard in central Europe). In my case the entire building I live in has "central A/C". I'm not an expert, but I

There are poor people anywhere in the world. I have friends who only make a little more than minimum wage here in Europe and of course they cannot afford many things like nice vacations or perhaps even the dryer at home (people just hang cl

But I do have A/C and a clothes dryer. Again, things like that are easily affordable if you work in the tech or professional fields in Europe.

I moved from the US to Europe a year ago and I think articles like this don't capture quality of life in Europe well. Just think about healthier food, walkable cities, great public transportation, safety, free education and healthcare.

Second this. Storygraph is great and has a ton potential. It just needs a bit more development put into it to match Goodreads minus the bad parts. I wish had the "plus" subscription tier set at $10/yr not $49/yr. I'

Because these are not exactly comparable. I have Thinkpad X1 Carbon which is more comparable and I'm easily getting 8+hrs of battery life. But the real benefit is that it runs Linux. It's just a more productive environment for a p

I use GNOME with a few extensions. I love that GNOME setup that comes with PopOS has great keyboard shortcuts, snapping and tiling (if desired - on my 14" laptop I don't use it much) out of the box. From macOS GUI I miss: 1) And t

I consistently get 10+ hours. I'm currently using PopOS+GNOME and my typical workload is a combination of a web browser + development in terminal (vim) + Obsidian for notes + cloud sync + listening to music + IM (but not Slack ;) ). It

I'm having a very different experience. I've been using Linux on and off for many years, but 2022 was the first time I installed it on a new laptop (Thinkpad X1 Carbon) and I like my overall setup + work experience more than on a

If you're in the tech industry then you may want to strongly consider what keyboard does a laptop have. ThinkPads still win IMO despite Lenovo making keyboards thinner in the recent years. One absolute killer feature of ThinkPads for m

This used to be true, but no more. There's a lot of great hardware built for Linux or officially compatible with Linux. I'll just list a few comparable to MBP 16" since that's what I'm most familiar with: * StarLabs

Yes it takes quite a lot of effort to get there. Vim motions take weeks to become your second nature, and then you'll probably spend 20-50hours finding plugins and configuring Neovim until you reach the Vimvarna. That's a ton of e

https://github.com/mateuszwieloch/dotfiles/tree/master/.conf... I'm rewriting it to be 100% Lua at the moment. It's 80% done and I've just pushed it for you. Take a look at the init.lua an

Sure thing! https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-context is what I use nowadays. It has a little clip demonstrating how it works so you'll instantly know if you want it or not ;)

The advantage of (Neo)vim is that it lets you create a PDE (personalized development environment) [1] where you can customize every little detail to your liking easily [2] and as a result program and navigate at the speed of thought. It tak
