From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using? (lemmy.ml)

For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

I've been using niri lately and couldn't believe so many apps wouldn't launch. I didn't know that was the issue. I had been manually editing so many desktop entries to make them work...

Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.

One of my closest friends also did the same thing for me, I quite enjoy playing beat saber :)

Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.

Virtual Machines, but I'm too dumb to figure it out.

What are you using instead of emacs? I'm very happy with my doom emacs setup and it doesn't feel slow at all imo

Nano. Everything except nano and its forks is weird and bloat.

Ed is the standard editor.

Have you tried neovim? More powerful than nano, but still super fast.

I'm not talking about performance but learning curve and unnecessary features. I don't really want to learn any key bindings or a whole new ecosystem just for a text editor I use to edit a config once a month.

Also that comment was sarcastic.
