  1. Allegedly SteamOS 3.5 adds support for installing software via nix. I'm eager to try that out and can totally see it changing my desktop approach.

  2. If you want a wireless option, AndFTP supports rsync over ssh.

  3. I'm really excited because I'm at an inflection point in my life where I'm looking at changing out my entire stack. Hyprland tricked me into trying kitty, and it's probably going to get me to switch from elementary terminal. tofi took almost no work to make it look absolutely gorgeous. I'm also liking ironbar so far. If I can't figure out how to set session-specific themes on Thunar or nemo, I might give up and learn nnn like a real nerd. If people have any suggestions for a Wayland-compatible hotkey daemon / key-remapper that works with X-input, please let me know—I'm looking to upgrade past input-remapper. Vanilla vim with a minimal vimrc is a philosophical choice (and my hedge for the real possibility of needing to work on airgapped systems). And then the biggest change for me is that, outside of active development, I've been able to ditch conda (mamba) for pipx, so thanks, Brodie, for promoting that a few months back.

  4. Every macOS developer I know has a .zsh_profile as long as their arm. Everyone who does serious work on Windows carries around their vscode settings file on a thumb drive. Meanwhile, I've customized Ubuntu and now elementaryOS for over a decade exclusively through graphical settings applications that are way easier to use than Windows Control Panel (switchboard is bae).

  5. Do you know if it supports X-input (as in, 🎮)? I've been looking for an alternative to input-remapper.

  6. Me but with gedit completely unironically. Thank God there's a flatpak of it.

  7. A fish-lover wrote the Ansible playbooks for my former employer's entire data science stack, which meant that every time I logged into an EC2 I had no idea what the 🐠 was going on.

  8. ​ @volodymyrkilchenko I was going to ask the same question about pulse until I remembered that if you install pipewire-pulse (the best way to purge pulse pulse, if nothing else), then you don't have to change anything on your system—any audio routed through pulse will get redirected through pipewire as a drop-in replacement.
