  • I haven’t checked back on it since I stopped using reddit (and I no longer use a surface pro) but there was a pretty active surface Linux community there as well with some good resources. For a lot of models you’ll need a USB keyboard/mouse to actually install the distro but once you can load the custom surface linux kernel things worked pretty well for me.








  • No, I’ve never touched my .config file for KDE directly (I have made settings changes, but none that would cause it to clear hotkeys), I just can’t set hotkeys without them clearing on reboot/session end. Apparently it’s a known problem: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484682

    That report mentions 6.0.3 I’ve had this issue since I installed NixOS with plasma 5 last year and remember finding forum posts about it as well. It hasn’t been too much of a deal for me because the only thing I was using it for was remapping the Konsole shortcut to launch Kitty instead.

    Edit: also that issue I linked looks like it’s resolved in 6.0.5 but I’m in 6.0.5 right now and I just tried to set a keybind and it’s still clearing on reboot.







  • To me at least angular makes a bit more sense than React’s way of doing things does. React tries to be functional with its components and yet it seems like they end up basically trying to mimic classes with useState and useEffect. To me Angular’s class-based approach makes a bit more sense (though I am primarily interested in backend development more than frontend so that could be why)

    It does kind of fall into a lot of the traps of Object-Oriented programming though so I can see why a lot of people don’t like it




  • You know neovim can use the exact same LSPs (Language Server Protocol) for intellisense as VS Code right? There’s intellisense, git integration, code-aware navigation, etc. Neovim can be everything VS code is (they’re both just text editors with plugins), except Neovim can be configured down to each navigation key so it’s possible to be way more efficient in Neovim. It’s also faster and more memory edficient efficient because it isn’t a text editor built on top of a whole browser engine like VS Code is.

    I use a Neovim setup at home (I haven’t figured out how to use debugger plugins with Neovim and the backend I work on is big enough that print debugging endpoints would drive me insane) and I can assure you I have never given variable names one letter unless I’m dealing with coordinates (x, y, z) or loops (i, j) and usually in the latter scenario I’ll rename the variable to something that makes more sense. Also, we don’t do it to seem hardcore, it’s because there are actual developer efficiency benefits to it like the ones I listed above.

    By your own logic you “can’t be bothered” to learn how to edit a single config file on a text editor that has existed in some form for almost 50 years (vi). Stop making strawman arguments.
