Its funny because a lot of people do this even though its completely unhelpful in solving their problem.

There’s a guide here to show Japanese fonts by default and also how to configure your browser to show Japanese fonts by default.

Nix flakes are a feature of the nix package manager to make nix packages more reproducible.

There are extensions for obsidian compatability in Vim and Emacs.

I think he’s probably talking about Macbooks, since MacOS comes with zsh instead of bash and is certified unix.

I think pretty much any wireless headphone should work on Linux; my Airpods seem to work fine.

TBH, the default steam DRM is trivial to remove yourself with steam emulators and stuff, and many indie games dont even use it. The real problem is 3rd party DRM like Denuvo, which Valve probably can’t remove even if they wanted to.

I’m not using lsp in Neovim so if I need lsp I’ll just pull out emacs. If I’m already in the terminal I’ll usually pull out Neovim to edit a file, but if I’m writing like markdown or something that uses images I like the ability to display images inline in emacs. LaTeX is always something I do in emacs because there’s a built in pdf viewer in emacs and there’s built in spell check also. In the terminal in emacs, sometimes I open up Neovim to do a quick edit because of muscle memory from the terminal. One thing that’s really cool about Neovim is that you can embed it in other applications, so if I really have to use an ide that’s not emacs, I’ll just do that.

I don’t use Neovim for complex tasks, because personally I find it a bit hard to discover commands compared to emacs. The menubar in emacs is really useful for finding useful commands in different major and minor modes.

Yeah there’s a thing called EAF, which allows python and javascript to be embedded in emacs. It allows for more complex applications to be built in emacs, similar to VSCode. I’m not sure how difficult it is to make something with EAF, but I haven’t really seen any things written in it that aren’t in the EAF organization. I think the future could be EAF or maybe something like EAF to be able to leverage the power of the javascript ecosystem like how VSCode does for a lot of plugins. There have been some attempts to rewrite emacs in different languages, but emacs is too large, and you would lose the old ecosystem by doing that.

There’s a larger community around Doom Emacs, and Doom Emacs looks nicer. Honestly though it doesn’t matter that much which one you use since they are both pretty good.

Emacs keybindings are in the terminal and are in MacOS (from what I’ve heard online).

Nvim is more optimised, while emacs is more extensible. Basically you can modify core parts of emacs while it runs. I tend to use both, depending on the situation, with a lighter nvim config. Sometimes the 3 second emacs startup time is annoying so I use vim then. I think its fine to try both.

Regarding emacs declining popularity, I think that in the long term it could be a problem, since most people don’t want to learn elisp just to configure their editor. Elisp is very powerful in emacs, but its design is very different to other languages, so as emacs contributors get older, it could possibly lead to less and less new contributors.

Idk about the vim distros, but I think Doom Emacs is easier for beginners to get into.

I’m not them so idk. Also I think Canonical uses a slightly different ubuntu logo these days.

ubports has been completely community maintained and separate from Canonical for longer than it was actually under Canonical.

I think performance may vary depending on your setup. My experience is definitely not universal, but I’ve never experienced VR that works well on Linux yet. IMO you should keep trying and see if you can get it working, but if not Valve could fix VR on Linux when they finish the rumored Deckard headset.

I think this might be changing in the U.S., because my friend group only talks on Discord. I don’t even have their phone numbers.

I got PCVR working on Manjaro (my main installation is NixOS and I installed Manjaro to see if VR would work) on my Valve Index, but for some reason audio sounded like it was bass boosted a ton and games ran at 30 fps. IMO PCVR on Linux just isn’t there yet. The steam vr dashboard didn’t work at all either, might’ve been because of the new Steam VR 2.0 not prioritizing Linux use at all.

Not sure what the experience is like on quest, but I would think its not too far off from my Valve Index experience.

If they were able to guess your pin, you should probably switch to a longer pin or a password. It seems insane at first to type a long password, but if you pick two long scientific words, its secure with only letters.

Clip Studio Paint and Krita are fantastic options for 2d art, and can be better than Photoshop for drawing and painting.

I keep losing my usb c to headphone jack, but I usually use it a couple times a week when its not lost. I have airpods, but I’m on android so I lost the charger for it, and nearly lost the airpods many times.

Simple terminal applications like ping or curl or yt-dlp. I also like using python -m http.server to access my files over the local internet. w3m sometimes works when my mobile data is very slow and can’t load web pages. I also do use ssh a lot. I don’t need it if I have an ssh app but it is nice to have, and I switched to android for it.

I use it locally.
