Great question, actually. Cookiecutter is a way of using others' project templates, but you have to manually customize everything afterward (like if you need to add C to the gitignore, for example.)

In theory, kwinit could be used with cookiecutter. Maybe you generate a cookiecutter project, but you need to add issue templates, for example.

Generally, cookiecutter is more supported and maybe the better option. But I didn't like that it uses Python and I need to install a bunch of pip libs, and also I had too much free time. So I wrote this.

TL;DR: cookiecutter is more popular, but you may need to manually tweak things. Kwinit will generate common files, and can be used with cookiecutter to add missing files (like gitattributes, LICENSE, issue templates, etc.)

I don't use github

No problem with that. In fact, good for you. I'm still there because my friends are.

Spring Boot

Definitely something I didn't think of.

Now that you mention adding a framework, I should probably also let people pick node/npm and then pick create-react-app, default, etc...

Thanks!

I guess dying on a roller coaster. Link

I have installed Linux on a Chromebook, actually. There's a really good guide on MrChromeBox.tech

The screen on my Chromebook was fine, at least by my (admittedly somewhat low) standards.

And yes, the have EOL dates, which sucks. It's why I installed Linux on mine.

I wonder if there is a Linux distro targeted at the average user who just browses the web and needs office software. I guess Mint comes a bit close, but it also has many other apps preinstalled.

Honestly this sounds like a Chromebook to me.

Is Lemmy.ml really that bad? I haven't spent enough time on lemmy to know yet.

If "common sense is not very common", why is it called common sense?

Slightly off topic, sorry.

That's true. That would not be very nice.

Yes, but in one case you're warm and toasty and in the other you're dying.

This is me, too :)

Correct, it may not work on mobile because the font size is 6pt and the line may be too wide for a phone. That's something I should fix. The exposure, however, probably just needs a slider to increase or decrease what is considered black.

Thanks for the honest feedback :)

almost every new advance in technology was initially bashed as “that will never be popular”

I actually did know this.

But yes, history is important. Very nice response.

Great answer and I completely agree.

Well, that's a platform I'm leaving now.

Hunger and the need to do stuff to go through this life with less pain than otherwise.

I think it's pretty normal. I personally distrohopped every month until I finally settled on Void Linux. I know a lot of people have stopped distrohopping after using Void, but it may not be your cup of tea.

It's perfectly normal, especially if you found something you couldn't do or needed better support for.
