Is there plugin for **visually** installing and configuring neovim + other plugins?
  • I think lazy.nvim has a pretty decent UI box for when you have plugins already installed. Things like managing updates and uninstalling for a session. But yeah it would be such a mess for a separate program to mess with the actual nvim config, or it would require enough setup to make it not even worth it in the first place. 99% of plugins can be “installed” by just pasting their remote Git repo urls into your package manager setup so, it’s not bad really. Part of the trade off for more control and efficiency I guess!

    Suggested Distro?
  • Yup, at the end of the day, do whatever works. I’ve never had to mess with hybrid graphics but I’d imagine some distros handle it better, as you found. PopOS is great and their next update should he real sweet (they’re developing their own Desktop Environment in-house).

  • Suggested Distro?
  • Yeah this pretty much sums up where I landed after like 8 months of Linux desktop usage. The only reasons I ever boot back to windows is Valorant (which also requires me to turn Secureboot back on… I should just stop playing that game) and whenever I need to compile programs for Windows. But I’m gonna fix that second problem by turning an old laptop into a Windows build machine that I can access remotely.

    Honestly, I’d say overall my experience with Linux desktop has actually surpassed Windows. KDE just runs snappier in every way and the app ecosystem you can access via flathub is so vast and polished. Everything feels like it has a lot of care going into it. Windows-only programs with no good Linux alternatives still exist, but for my use case I no longer have that problem.

  • Suggested Distro?
  • https://nobaraproject.org/ Nobara is EXCELLENT. It took me weeks to tweak my last distro to get to the point that Nobara is out of the box, and GloriousEggroll sets it all up and keeps it updated for everyone.

    As for dual booting, you should be able to follow any online guide (and the Nobara installer might even have an option for it). The only caveat is Nobara does NOT support secure boot, so you may have to disable that in your bios (you can google the benefits of secure boot, I find that for a stationary desktop in the hands of any reasonable user, it’s not necessary. Only reason I ever turn it on is to play Valorant on Windows 11 🙃)

  • Anyone using rustic?
  • A lot of the time, rust rewrites are more for devs, than users. Rust code is just easier to maintain (in the long-run 😉 and harder to make buggy. But some times the apps do just run faster when compiled with Rust.

  • Anyone noticing GitHub reliability issues?
    www.githubstatus.com GitHub Status

    Welcome to GitHub's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.

    I’ve only been getting alerts for GitHub statuses for a month or so now, but it feels like they have an incident like once a week. And it’s to the point where I am actually noticing when they go down at work and in my programming hobbies. Have they always been this rocky, is this a more recent thing, or is it just me?

    Does anyone know of a program to parse and display JSON downloaded via Bulk Downloader for Reddit?

    > Hi, > > I recently used bdfr to download all the comments and contexts for one of my accounts. It’s great to have, but it would be cool to have a program that can parse it all and allow me to do things like search and view the comment structure with a simple GUI. > > It’s all just JSON so I could write it myself, but I figured I’d ask first if anyone knew of an existing program for this. Thanks!
