s1nistr4,

As much as I like FOSS it’s significantly harder to fund.

With proprietary you keep the source code, ship the app, collect data & sell it, and charge for a premium /subscription. They then use that money to fund talented devs and give them deadlines to make good software.

With FOSS it’s largely contribution work by people who work on it in their free time. They use donations or paying for enterprise support, and if they do add a subscription service / premium version you can just modify the code and get it for free.

That’s largely why FOSS software is behind, what’s the direct incentive for someone to make it good?

s1nistr4,

Sounds more like they don’t want any users

s1nistr4,

Honestly I don’t think there’s a truly good git hosting website right now.

GitLab works if you wanna get away from Micro$oft but the UI is all over the place. Every other alternative either has an infinitely worse UI or charges money to use

Dems do the same thing with Trump. Moral of the story both sides suck

Edit: Bring on the downvotes, can’t prove me wrong tho

s1nistr4,

There are literally 0 numerical statistics to back that up at all

s1nistr4,

That has literally nothing to do with your previous point

I encourage you to chill, wipe the sweat off your face while you furiously type to me so none of it gets in your keyboard and ruins it. K thx

s1nistr4,

Why yes, I will help, just give me your credit card

Nova has a monopoly on quality, nothing even comes half close.

However, a decent FOSS launcher is Lawnchair, use the latest builds from github actions, it works fairly well and can allow for basic home screen customization, folder customization and custom icons

s1nistr4,
  1. Learn coding from YouTube videos/books/etc whatever you prefer
  2. Break the information you learn down into small, applicable chunks. For example: How do you add heading in HTML? Use <h1> tag.
  3. Write that information down. Handwrite it, don’t type it. This is because handwriting things helps you memorize it a lot better. Focus on what you write and try to understand what its doing and why it was designed that way.
  4. Use the information in small projects, using the stuff you wrote as a reference. Those small projects can be like “simple python script that uses a for loop to print text”, aka simple things you don’t release to the public and solely exist for practice
  5. Revisit the stuff you learned after a couple days aka try making the same projects again or a new project that uses the same concepts.

Using this pattern I’ve been able to learn things much faster than most others. It’s based on a lot of tricks people use for memorize things better, such as writing things down and spaced repetition.</h1>

s1nistr4,

Thank you very much kind sir, have an awful day 😇😇

The trick is to pirate everything first and if it’s good then pay money afterwards to support the creators

s1nistr4,

I miss the good ol days where inflation was so low, you could pick fruit off a vine/bush/tree and it was free

s1nistr4,

Yeah I vaguely heard that from google searching, seems like the other comments agree as well. Thanks for the help

s1nistr4,

LunarVim is great but I really think its better to make your own config and spend the initial investment of getting that set up.

You’ll understand the editor better and because of that can configure it to exactly how you want, and integrate things you regularly use into it (such as plugin features and bash functions) and also learn some Lua along the way

s1nistr4,

It is, I don’t see the problem here
