I see a lot of people here bitchin about bad Linux desktop experience and they I see they were all using Gnome. Just give KDE a try people. It is very light, clean NixOS KDE5 installation consumed 450MBs of RAM.

It's Angular all over again.

VLC has a plugin called VLsub which works almost perfectly as subtitle downloader.

I hope that you are aware that VSCode is not free software.

Now try and open up Sublime after some time spent in VSCode. You will see what I am talking about, yeah go and try scroll that Side bar, scroll editor, enter some text fast, scroll fast the minimap. Everything is very smooth! I mean I get it, if you want rich plugins and all that fancy stuff go down the Atom/VSCode way. Even though I was using Emacs and Vim for the biggest part of my development time, I always had Sublime somewhere in there, I use editor just as an editor. Some nice light git integration, fast file searching and fast and correct code navigation is all I need that goes out of the $EDITOR scope. I have all of that with Sublime and it works reliably and flawlessly.

Wow that’s good! I want to get used x220 and new 9 cell battery. If I could pull of 7-9h battery life I would consider it a great success. Btw i would be using only StumpWM, Firefox and Emacs. For media consumption I got MacBooks.

How’s the battery life? OpenBSD is nice and nifty little UNIX experience, definitely geared towards users who know what they are doing/wanting.

It makes really nice workstation operating system, believe it or not.

Then check out lobste.rs, I use it as much more concise, more smaller scale version of HN.

Problem with C/C++ is maintaining and writing code. I am sure you are well aware of Jonathan Blow's efforts in writing Jai programming language. If not take a look at his Youtube channel. Pretty eye opening. (I am no game dev btw)
