Relatable. I spend my whole day ricing my linux. I use arch btw
29ReplyI once spent half an hour fiddling with the font sizes in Mint. Does that count?
27ReplyYou gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.

NixOS, Helix, and Hyprland 😁 But I'm graduated, so I just procrastinate everything else instead.
18ReplySell me on Helix real quick. I've heard about it and it looks interesting but I'm not sure what the hook is.
4ReplyI came from vscode and nano. I wanted something within the terminal as powerful as vscode. I tried doom emacs and vim but they didn't feel right.
Reasons I use it:
- I found it easier to learn than vim/emacs in my opinion
- Written in rust
- Pretty easy to get language servers running
- config is super easy
6ReplyIt's better than the Dome fossil. #PraiseHelix
3ReplyOne well rounded package that doesn't need a complicated config or possibly unmaintained plugins.

12ReplyI stopped using emacs because I was spending more time in config files than actually doing anything useful
11ReplyLook into Helix :D
It’s missing plugins… but aside from that, as of now, it’s about as configurationless as it can get.
I just have some extra keys mapped and that’s it. Single <30 line config file.
8ReplyHot take, micro is the best text editor. Easy keybinds Has plugins
Works very well for editing text

I'm have been NixOS curious for quite a while now. I am afraid I will be consumed by it, if I fully commit.

another day another game of whack-a-mole commenting out packages just to get a rebuild to not fail
5ReplyKinda like biology: knock out a gene (package) and see what happens.

To anyone who needs this in the future, a lot of scanners need some extra firmware files (found on their backend's subpage, accessible from here) and those can be added to your nix configuration in a way some good people discovered here. Knowing all this would have saved me around 3 hours yesterday, so you're welcome.
