VM is probably the answer as long as your machine can run one well enough.

I used to use neovim for a while, the main reason I migrated to helix was because it just has everything built in, no need to spend hours getting lsps working and everything

The motions are vastly better than vim though imo, the select as you go thing makes it feel a lot more natural

(For example, w moves you to the end of the word and selects it, then pressing it again deselects and selects the next word unless you’re in v mode)

Meaning to delete a word it’s w+d not d+w

Also very good multi cursor support, instead of typing out a long sed command I can select a block or all, and do S,(regex) and it spawns a cursor on every match which can do everything the normal one can

As for it being everywhere have you ever used sshfs? It’s always my go-to when editing projects on a remote server and then you can use whatever you want

Listen we all know deep down the solution is to try to parse it with regex

I’m one of those people, they make a surprisingly good combo

If you’re doing nix right it doesn’t matter how unstable something is if it’s borked you just revert it

Have generally found hyprland to be pretty stable anyway though as long as you’re not on the unstable nix channel

Python is the gold standard for cross platform interpreted languages

If what you meant was are they all interpreted, no C# rust and python are the main 3 I use rn and are all cross platform

Pretty sure a lot of the people here are deathly allergic to anything meta. I know a couple people irl who just get on and use it also

The app knows if location permission has been denied though

They released their desktop environment publicly, which imo was the main reason to use it

I never found elementary really worked that well for me, though pantheon is lovely

What’s your sample size, do you actually talk to many gen z

If you asked them where they saved a photo on a smartphone they’re not going to tell you a filepath because that’s not how people use smartphones. I probably couldn’t tell you where photos are stored physically on my phone without going out of my way to find that info

Also Google photos is a valid answer to that question because the file is saved in Google photos, just because it’s cloud storage doesn’t make it not storage. In that case local storage is basically just a cache anyway

That’s a conscious decision though I said someone who doesn’t know

You’re probably right but it wouldn’t be a clean implementation for the os to do it. If it was more universal and better documented app devs could just put notices in themselves

I’ve seen maybe 4 people using Linux in real life and 2 of them are friends/family

If you’re in any of the Linux related discords for long enough to pick up on it you’ll realize there are a lot of kids there

It’s a pretty good indicator. If you spend all day working with computers chances are you’ll be able to type quickly

Pretty sure someone who doesn’t know to plug their GPU in is probably not running Linux

We didn’t have specific typing class but we had IT in both primary and secondary, at least late gen z got plenty of computer time in school and most I know in my generation are decent typists at least

Man look at millennials turning into boomers at record pace

“back in my day we did things properly, now all these damn kids… etc etc”

Did the people there actually believe they were robots? Impressive acting of course but you can see they’re costumes in the video and I imagine it’d be more obvious in person
