I really appreciate the write up. I’ll play around with those tools! Thanks!

Why the switch? What features drew you in and kept you in? I haven’t dove into multiplexing yet so no need to get too in the weeds, I wanna do some research then make a separate post about that later.

What’s your use case for ripgrep, or rather, what sets it apart from other tools for your uses?

Awesome, I’ll check the link out. Thanks for your time.

Oh wow, there’s a command line email and calendar client. Thanks for bringing these to my attention. I’m still, slowly, learning vim keybinds so vifm is out for me.

What’s the difference between btm and top/btop? What does ag do for you differently than grep?

So a quick look at the man page says its a fuzzy search. How do YOU use it? So I can get a point of reference to figure things out myself.

Not quite the answer I was expecting, but I still appreciate the participation.

I do love me some ssh, it initially blew my mind how simple it was to set up.

I have no idea what screen does, even after glancing at the man page, can you enlighten me on your use case for it?

I’m still learning (quite slowly) vim keybinds, but I’ve gotten to the point where I can “use” it and not get trapped.

I’ve never used git personally, what’s your use case if you don’t mind?

Thanks!

I’m familiar with the flac format, but not so much with the program. What do you use it for?

I’ve never heard of ffmpeg, but a quick glance at the man page says it can rip from data streams with sounds awesome! What’s your main use case if you don’t mind sharing?

Thanks, btw

Wtf happened here?

Haven’t played in a minute, but I remember being able to walk around the capital ships you can obtain.

Honestly the modern Linux experience is largely easy to start these days, but there are pitfalls and traps.

A little more than a year ago I was a complete Linux nooby, but I researched and asked questions before jumping in. Then I jumped in (my first distro was endeavour). I asked questions, read forums, tinkered, then broke my shit.

Then I distro hopped between the popular ones (mint, buntu, etc.) before finally settling on Cachy. There were pains along the way but for my use cases the main learning hurdles were learning the compatibility layers and FOSS software alternatives.

I implore you to tread the beaten path, on a tried and tested distro with an active community. Think about your use case, and which flavor of Linux distro better supports your intentions.

I’ve swapped to linux mostly due to aging hardware and low disposable income. I’m still running A PC that was lower MID a decade ago.

So far its a blast, nothing short of shotty anticheat gets in my way. ProtonDB is a great resource. Wine and the proton layers basically give you parity (and in some cases better performance than windows).

I second Rimworld. The DLCs literally only add content, and are completely optional even if you own them. In fact, let me shill Rimworld for a second…

Never have I felt every emotion possible from playing a game. From sorrow about one of my child colonists getting gunned down trying to move a rock, to triumph watching a lone colonist single-handedly repelling a mech threat with a bolt action and a sandbag. Rage, watching one of those bastards breakdown from having to sit in a shitty chair and murdering the only doctor in the colony, then dying to the wounds sustained from said doctor shortly after.

Well yes… And?

What goalpost you potato? What was said basically amounts to “your experience differs because of (completely optional customizations)”

I second Cachy, been running this for almost a year now and nothing major has broken.

No worries mate, thanks for the clarity.

I’m not sure how to take this comment as my sarcasm receptors have been burned to a crisp before leaving reddit. Did I say something wrong?
