Falling further down the RH adventures.... just discovered and that might be the clincher for me. My writing is very much outline-driven, and I've always wanted an outliner with movable sections (had something in the early PC days that did that). When you combine all of the other functionality, gets more and more attractive. Key binding memorization is overwhelming but just saw some good advice: use M-x and functions at first. So we continue.

@birv2 Org Mode, Agenda, and Roam are my primary use case for emacs. Yes I can also browse/look at code quickly, and I'm slowly getting used to writing some code there, but for me it's all about the writing and task management.

Then I keep all my org roam notes in git, which I can easily share at work in a readable format since GitHub supports rendering org mode.

That's great news: Gentoo is now part of the SPI (Software in the Public Interest) like many others, e.g. The Debian Project https://www.phoronix.com/news/Gentoo-Linux-SPI-Project

It is also the reason I am not bullish on (anymore) - we are living in golden age of cli/tui-tooling and I am less than interested in an editor trying to be the baseline for all workflows. It starts and ends in my iTerm2 with .

louis, to openSUSE
@louis@emacs.ch avatar

Two full months into Pop_OS now. While genereally happy, I struggle a bit with the system getting slower and slower over time, I need to reboot every 2-3 days to get back to normal. Resource monitors shows no havoc procresses and no excessive memory usage.

For some other reasons I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed in a VM with KDE 6 and now find it very tempting to switch. It was super fast and KDE seems just so much better at this point.

Switching distro is a huge PITA, so if you have any arguments against it, I would appreciate that before I go down that road 🙂

@withoutclass@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@louis as some others have pointed out, desktop environment and operating system are best to separate in your mind. You could try a different DE first, or decide to go all out and switch to a different OS.

If you want to switch distributions, I'd focus on one that promoted flexibility as opposed to tight defaults like KDE/Gnome etc. Pick a Linux distribution that has a philosophy that appeals to you, the desktop environment (or lack of) can come after.

@withoutclass@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@louis nah that totally makes sense. If you want to just get to work and not have to fiddle a bunch going with a full DE makes sense :)

For me I love the simplicity of a tiling window manager and just having the couple utilities I need installed such as Network manager.

There is also an Emacs Window Manager that exists...😁

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.

So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)

It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

https://nextcloud.thelinuxexp.com/index.php/apps/forms/s/XQRzMrs8QTtCjDfSyP4koA9o

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.

Sigh, on one of my two machines, the upgrade to profile 23 is having trouble on the install phase of .

@Wyatt My primary laptop had no problem at all, which is a more complicated installation compared to my mini PC, that is on a bare bones amd64 profile with openRC surprisingly.

@withoutclass@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@gabrielesvelto Maybe I need to sync and retry. The error isn't very clear, but it's failing during the install phase after compiling for some time.

I started over, redoing the steps from the news/install guide and am compiling gcc again so I'm hoping that it works this attempt. If not I'll move to heavier troubleshooting.

@Wyatt It's hard to strike a balance between usability day to day and having fun going for a bunch of custom bits 😁

@gabrielesvelto I'm going to start looking at these later. Unfortunately I've run out of time for now. I am definitely considering converting to his system over to binary packages since it's a low power mini PC. Thank you for the suggestions.

@withoutclass@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@gabrielesvelto I ended up doing an emerge sync to see if there had been an update and now things are just installing no problem so there must've been a fix.

withoutclass,
@withoutclass@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@ScottE I did see some folks having to do that on the forums while I was poking around a bit. It must've been some error the devs found because between yesterday and today, a new emerge sync corrected the problem for me

Modern software development is broken, worse by the day.

  • Tried out / to use -jdt-ls for Java.
  • Scarce docs to configure formatting.
  • Want see source of eclipse-jdt-ls, use
  • Import project, 4 popups, but all had all buttons except 'Cancel' disabled.
  • Cancel, install manually, retry from scratch, some tycho-thing still missing, nothing on the marketplace.

And note: this is eclipse to edit an eclipse project. Wow.💩 🤦‍♀️ 🤔
Next try. Most recent eclipse, lets see.

@HaraldKi my experience with jvm language servers is they stink, particularly in emacs. I've tried a few times now to get kotlin and lsp to play nice and I can't get it to work well enough to use.
