I’m old (not much, though) but back in my day it happened the same thing with people like me. Only that instead Arch+Hyprland it was Compiz Fusion+Beryl because the cube and the flames was the tits.

Also I just happen to be a graphic designer so hopefully this post of yours helps into letting die that idea that Linux is only for devs and sysadmins.

No, for example I can open two or more splits (horizontal or vertical) - the catch there is that I can’t open an horizontal split AND a vertical split. If I have two horizontal splits and want a vertical one, the previous two would go vertical (?). I read somewhere on the issues list that this was rather a temporary solution to be able to “see”/“edit” more than one file at the same time.

Not to mention there aren’t things like tabs or windows. They want to let that be managed by a window manager, which sounds like the sane thing to do, but as I was telling before - not enough people with enough time to pull that off. The discussion about the RPC interface goes from a while back: https://github.com/martanne/vis/issues/59

The thing about good plugins is relative - I just have vis-pairs, but I am not a seasoned developer (I’m not even a formal developer/CS person, just a graphic designer doing frontend and a tiny bit of backend!) so I don’t really miss anything else. vis’ phylosophy relies on the unix-as-ide concept, though. Still I do know that there is stuff like a LSP plugin.

What I really miss from vim is buffers. vis still does not have a client/server feature so you still have to rely in its allegedly temporary split panes kinda solution. It seems vis’ main developer got some personal issues going on so volunteers are doing some little changes here and there but with so few manpower it doesn’t seem like those needed big changes are happening anytime soon. Hence why I’m trying to spread its gospel in hopes to get people interested in contributing to it.

If by any chance here’s someone else using vis, I salute you!

I am from a third world country and find this offensive.

To those who downvote, really?

Not a long time lemmy user but as I’ve said here from time to time, it seems this inherited Reddit’s toxicity. People downvote here things just because - not because something doesn’t contribute to a discussion in any way whatsoever, but because they just don’t like it. It’s so stupid.

Take my posts in Colombia@lemmy.world - all of them have at most 0 net upvotes. Nobody there posts anything but me and nobody comments anything, but I do get downvotes because…?

TL;DR - don’t pay attention to downvotes here. You’re right, he’s an asshole. Though as with almost all social media you shouldn’t take no one, not even someone as influential as LTT, as a reputable source of information.

Edit: See how they just proved my point with this comment?

It’s just jan 4 and it seems the systemd jokes have already run out for this year. I for one haven’t seen all those “systemd bad” posts/comments/blogs/whatever. Instead there are tons, TONS of “gnome bad”, “kde bloated”, “wayland bad/xorg good” posts/comments/blogs/whatever, but god forbid if someone says something about systemd.

Farmer is systemd/kerneld*

Kind of the same syndrome of that people that want to feel opressed by made up reasons

TIL Gnome devs have (left) foot fetishism

Not sure but it seems to me most major distributions offer you to do a separate /home partition by default? I may be wrong but this happens with the likes of Fedora and Ubuntu? Or at least they do recommend to make it that way

Of course not, they also need to pay tribute to our Lords and Saviors Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds and make reverences to our supreme god Tux.

It’s just that they make all of that with extra steps.

ChromeOS and TempleOS swapped places. You don’t use TempleOS because you want a computer, you use TempleOS because you want Jesus in your computer.

Now the question is why Terry did all that job instead of making a Clippy version of Jesus for Office and call it quits.

Actually there’s some support for Wayland. Tried it last year, but had to do serious rummage trying to make it work. For starters I can recall it spitted a video but the command throwed an error at the end and could not understand why. Also i seem to recall the video stopped way after finishing the command.

Even had to recompile all of ffmeg to add support for wayland recording (though Gentoo makes this really easy). One thing for certain is that Gentoo’s ffmpeg stable version is fairly behind from upstream’s so that could have had a hand on it too.

Yep, no dice, that’s why I came here to complain lol. Both Fdroid w/ Izzy on Droid and the Play Store say its “incompatible” with my phone

Alas can’t install it on my phone (xperia 1ii) because “unsupported device”. Bummer, it seems actually great.

I was heartbroken when Google killed their Reader service. To this day I can’t fully understand why they did it - many people used and loved it.

Moved to Feedly but things were never the same. I’d like another app or service that lets me read my subscribed feeds and sync their read/unread status (and save them for reading them later in a separate collection, as you can with Feedly) between android and pc - but being visually well designed as Feedly, without the caps it puts to you like that ridiculous cap on searching into your feeds, being completely free and that is no self hosted (don’t have a pc turned on 24/7 nor can afford it)… so yeah maybe this is asking for too much.

However, I absolutely agree RSS is absolutely awesome and wish more people get into it

Isn’t that the purpose though of Ubuntu though?

No, because back in the day when Ubuntu was “Linux for human beings” you could literally feel that in almost every aspect of it, from the ease of its installation to its icon theme and system sounds to its help pages. It was their “selling” point - it made Linux friendly and reachable for many people, as it did for you and me.

It’s been more than 15 years since I used Ubuntu but from that point I really could feel that what @merci3@lemmy.world says is true - it no longer offered any real benefit compared to Fedora, Solus, Mint or whatever distro targeted at people getting into Linux. You won’t find many people saying that Ubuntu really stands out from their similars about something. It just became another option, forgot what was “Ubuntu” about (remember the Amazon ads scandal?) and seem to be really stubborn into impose to the community their way of doing things (snaps, mir…). Or tell me with a serious face how the snap thing makes the life easier of someone wanting to install a deb.

It’s correct what you say - as many other distros, they have done a great amount of work over the years and most of us are grateful to it because we could get into Linux thanks to it, nobody can deny that. It’s just that said work no longer seems the case nor they seem really interested about that.

Sadly Lemmy has gotten so much Reddit toxicity so I don’t get why you got downvotes. As a non native speaker I won’t mind if I got some downvotes too if I could get advice improving my english on my shitty comments instead
