I’d just like to interject for a moment…
I’m not sure what you mean. I think all TVs should have displayport, since regardless of what model it is, people also like plugging their pc into the living room tv for couch gaming. I just mentioned the C series as an example because they’re popular with desk gamers. Alternatively, having hdmi 2.1 support would be another solution, and seems more feasible than trying to get tv manufacturers to put displayport on their TVs, because they refuse to do it for some reason.
LG C series OLED in particular is a popular choice as a gaming display, no displayport on those puppies. I got one myself because it was actually a better deal compared to a similar OLED monitor.
And not just an editor, but an entire environment! I’ve only been using emacs for a few weeks now, but i’m really enjoying it. I’m not a developer, but i still find magit really awesome to use for my git needs, and atp i’ve replaced yazi with dired as my keyboard-driven file manager.
In emacs ctrl+y is paste, which is weird to me because i’m pretty sure even in emacs the logic is that y stands for yank, but in every other program i’ve used so far yank means copy, not paste. In the end though i feel like muscle memory from other editors don’t bother me as much, and i can learn multiple at the same time. I started with evil mode for vim bindings for a short while, but now i’m diving into pure emacs bindings.
If we’re talking purely something basic to be able to edit some shit on the system i think i would choose nano, purely because i’ve used it for years to edit everything (yes, even config files in full programming languages lol) and thus i’m very familiar with it. If we’re talking anything terminal-based in general, i like helix as a modal editor. I chose it over neovim at the time because i didn’t feel like configuring the whole thing, and helix is pretty much ready to go with lsp and everything ootb. A few weeks ago though i decided to make the switch to emacs, since i use guix now, so it felt like a natural fit. I might check out emacs in the terminal at some point, but i’m sticking with the gui for now.
Guess i can throw out my adapter that i bought literally like 2 months ago, and haven’t even really used it yet cause i haven’t been gaming much in that timeframe lmao. I guess it’s good news though. And an obligatory fuck the hdmi forum.
This is the funniest copium when the argument usually is “oh these games don’t work on linux? That’s because you should use windows cause it’s actually what those games were meant to be played on!”.
Yeah, at this point i won’t even consider using it anymore. If it means i can’t run a handful of games, so be it.
I’m not sure what GNU is going to do. A while back they announced that they wanted to make sure free software phones were going to be a thing, but i don’t think they’re forking android to do it.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong i 100% agree.
From an ideological point of view i respect the fact that people want software to stay free of AI, but realistically how feasible is it going to be to have something be completely free of it? If someone for example contributes to this project and they used AI assistance to write the code, but never disclose it, how would you know? When that happens this “minus-ai” fork will also have AI code in it and there’s nothing you can do about that it seems.
I’m sure this post isn’t going to be controversial at all lol
I’m confused on why you think ubuntu and omarchy can’t also be part of that “culture” you describe. It’s also a bit different for omarchy. Part of it is that it’s just another arch flavor that isn’t all that special, but everyone started talking about it all of a sudden, which made people grow tired of hearing about it pretty quickly (kinda reminds me of what happened to ghostty tbh). The other part of it is its creator being a conspiracy weirdo, which puts people off.
When i read the first sentence of your comment i thought you were talking about the real-life emperor and i got very confused for a second there lol.
You can choose between things like flatpak or aur packages, but you’re gonna have to use pacman either way, since your core packages are still managed by pacman even if you decide to install most things through flatpak. Just wanted to point that out in case you were thinking of not using it at all anymore, cause it’s definitely not good to have your system get extremely out of date overtime. Having said that, it’s a matter of preference. The aur has more packages available, but flatpak has verified packages available, so assuming you stick to those, it could be safer. It also offers things like sandboxing. When i was on arch i only used the aur. I usually go with whatever has the most packages available or whatever is most convenient.
I don’t think elogind hooks into other inits directly, but it it is a fork of the logind part of systemd that has been altered so that it can work without systemd, if that’s what you mean.
I had similar thoughts, but at the same time i honestly think that wouldn’t be an issue because of the nature of linux and it being free and open source. There’s bound to be distros out there that won’t conform to whatever bs the corpos come up with.
Luckily i barely use discord, but i have one small usecase for it where it is pretty much irreplacable, which is that i use it to voice chat with a friend when playing games with crossplay support, since he is on ps5, and discord now having ps5 support makes that the go-to app.
Why are you so against this? Just because it’s a smaller group of people that needs this feature it’s not worth implementing, and the people that need it can just suck a fat one? Also, assuming technology keeps advancing, wanting more than 4k60 output isn’t going to be a rare request as time moves on.
