Ah let's see, do they still want you to LOGIN, in order to use a local dev tool? Yes, yes they do. No thanks Docker. You can keep your buzzword reasoning as to why this is needed.

He said his app is a one time payment. Presumably there isn’t a backend and he relies on App Store purchases. I know, it’s shocking an app could just be an actual application rather than a web view.

I see you have a .button, cool! So did you load the entire context of your project into your mind, and calculate every possible iteration of kind, size, color etc this button may have? And once you did that, did you come up with a semantically correct naming scheme that is clear and will not succumb to the inevitable .button_checkout_special_page_cta_widget a particular page will end up requiring?

No? Neither did I. I stopped thinking about CSS entirely almost a decade ago. Thanks Tailwind.

Hey may I suggest CachyOS + KDE? It’s very gaming oriented and you have a lot of great built in features. Everything just works.

So far in 6 months I ran into a single issue: On day 1 of the new Subnautica early access I had to do some debugging and downgrade nvidia drivers to a previous release. But this was fixed after about a week.

No other game gave any issue what so ever. I run everything on the cachy proton version. 4090, 5070 Ti, 5090. All work perfectly. DLSS, Frame gen, older titles too.

If you want to there’s convenience flags to auto upgrade things like DLSS to latest versions etc. It’s not something you have to use, but I found it really nice compared to the Windows equivalents.

I’m so beyond happy to have zero Windows left in the house. :)

I really want to like this. Ideologically I'm on board. Who wouldn't want to avoid all this multiplexing complexity and pitfalls? But deferring the window management to the OS sounds great in theory, but in practice it falls short (at least for me).

I work on both MacOS and Linux. Even if I were to figure out a perfect window management approach, I'd have to do it twice, and then figure out a way to "attach" to a layout of windows essentially. And then make it cross-platform... or live with zero organization, or at best some kind of flat structure. That's a immediate non-starter. Even if I focused only on a single OS, I still don't consider this a viable approach. It would be like removing browser tabs, and saying let's let the OS manage all this nasty UI stuff.

So then the next immediate idea is let's just have the Terminal itself manage UI. Ghostty supports tabs, splits etc. Great. But if I need to restart Ghostty for whatever reason, my entire layout vanishes and I have to set it all up again?

For me tmux is not just about the attach/detach part. A session is a personal "layout" of the workspace I've organically landed on for this task. Maybe it's a few windows with splits. Maybe it's just the single window with or without a split. Maybe it's a more browser-like just X amount of windows (tabs). If/when things get overwhelming I branch off into a new session for one (or more) sub-tasks. Little fzf-based utilities allow for nice fuzzying over sessions and what not. Or maybe you just run the different sessions in actual different physical OS windows. You can mix and match however you feel that day.

So if I'm in project x, working on feature y, and I detach and walk over to my other computer I can SSH over and continue as if nothing at all changed and retain the exact layout of what I was using before. Simultaneously in another physical window (or a tab) I can just switch to another local (or not) session and instantly be mentally in a different context, working on a different project or feature. Or I can SSH into a server and resume a debugging session left (intentionally) open for a while (which may consist of a few splits/windows/what not).

Maybe I'm missing something. I'm curious how your day-to-day workflow looks like. I imagine if I was 100% bound to a single machine, I could make it work with a tiling wm. But even then Ghostty crashes or something else happens and poof your entire work layout is gone and needs to be re-created (even if the individual pieces are safe).

Turn off vim mode if you use it. There is some kind of bug with it I found it basically unusable. With vim mode off it sort of works ok. Only breaks occasionally.

But hey coding is a solved problem.

Just got this via email. Well that's great, just as I moved a high bandwidth client to them a couple months ago. I love the "if you don't like it feel free to cancel" in the email also. SMH.

I have tested all of these also, and settled on borg + borgmatic. It has been absolutely rock solid. Borgmatic just rounds everything together in such a nice way. The documentation is great.

I'm pushing it all to a Hetzner storage box, as well as a local NAS. Super affordable!

Wow TIL, thanks!

Add me as another vote that misses them. I totally understand you need a break and other obligations take more time, but I hope you can still find the time to do them occasionally. :)

My use case is for gaming. I know there is some preliminary support now but I'm going to wait until everything is stable and "mostly works (tm)". :) Thanks though!

Maybe I am just lucky, but here is my experience as of literally today.

I just installed Fedora 40 (KDE 6) using the Fedora-40-20240304.n.0 nightly ISO. I then enabled the NVIDIA and Steam repos and installed both. Also installed asusctl. Everything seems to work perfectly.

This is on a Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 from 2021 (GA401QM) laptop with a Ryzen 9 5900HS + NVIDIA 3060. The screen is at full resolution at 120 Hz. Keyboard lights work, audio works, WiFi worked out of the box, sleep works etc.

I tried a few games on Steam and they all worked out of the box without any tweaks what so ever. I also find I am really enjoying KDE. It must be over 15 years since I last tried KDE but now I really think it is way better than Gnome.

My desktop is still on Windows, I'm waiting for HDR support. I'm so excited to get off Windows forever. It really feels like Linux is finally good enough.

Does it still require a login? If so thanks but no thanks.

Taking them an awfully long time to start shipping to more EU countries. At this rate I doubt I'll ever buy one. Not really keen on using freight forwarding services and dealing with all that in case of needing support.
