Tbh I don’t know what gamescope is, but I’ll look into that and try it out to see. Thanks!

I thought about trying it out, didn’t get to it yet. I will now. Thanks!

It’s Gentoo. That could be possible, maybe something to do with the open vs non-open variant. I will look into it.

Weird question, but what does GnuCash do that you wouldn’t get easily from excel? I haven’t used any of these apps and wondering what I’m missing out on.

First time Linux user you mean?

I wouldn’t recommend it, unless you can navigate the terminal well. When you install arch, it installs no desktop environment, only the ability to talk to a terminal.

It’s technically possible and very doable with some googling, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

This makes matrix even less attractive to me lol. But you’re right, that’s a very good point.

I have a feeling this is a joke. Either way I’m not following sorry 😭

Guix is almost like nix but with scheme, right? Any other differences?

I do like scheme. Nix is quite impressive. But my unpopular opinion is I am not convinced it’s philosophy is necessary. Nix feels like a workaround to legacy baggage in POSIX to allow for all its features of full reproducibility of packages and the overall system. Although Gentoo is not exactly reproducible, I feel like the level of control is sufficient to give me the benefits I want.

Nix works for maybe 95% of cases, but the 5% where its workarounds do not work sre annoying to deal with. Gentoo on the other hand doesn’t break so much from the traditional unix way of doing things, but still grants the user a great load of freedom and choice.

I love when people on the Internet say “X did Y quietly” to make it more suspenseful. This doesn’t look quiet to me…

That’s a fair argument, thanks for showing me the other perspective!

Imho, I prefer an editor that focuses on doing editing right, and provides the interface and APIs for integration with other things. I get the appeal of built-in LSP working OOTB, but I prefer this gets done by distributing the a good editor pre-packaged with LSP and other plugins, sort of like how you get lunarvim or nvchad as neovim with config and plugins ready. This way you get LSP out of the box, but others can customize if they need.

helix […] shares kakounes keybindings and input system

I get that it is inspired from it, but it felt like a strange in-between to me. It still has 3 modes, and the two non-insert modes seemed not to have a well-defined boundary. It didn’t just click with me. Kakoune seems to do it much better imho.

You can do this [shell integration] in vim and helix as well

I know vim has some basic she’ll integration, but it is not the same as Kakoune’s, unless I missed those features in vim and helix. I don’t wanna duplicate things, so I recommend you read the shell section of this page: https://kakoune.org/why-kakoune/why-kakoune.html

Windows is just not ready for this stuff. Most of this stuff is built for Linux. Linux is THE server OS. And windows is painful for developers too, so there’s less solutions for it.

You’ll be a lot better off with Linux for self hosting.

I’d love to clarify if you tell me which part of the post you didn’t understand.
