space, ctrl, or sometimes the entire numpad at once. it’s just one big button :P

oh. i guess i’m using the wrong editors then :P

i’d probably use tabs if they weren’t so massive by default.

do people actually use 8 space wide tabs? if so, what for?

the real Year of the Linux Desktop™ was the friends we made along the way.

they are very similar. my only problem with hyprland was that the mouse is still required for some things, and it’s a bit annoying having to switch back and forth.

on sway, everything can be done by keyboard. i still use the mouse a lot, but there’s less switching in the middle of tasks.

it’s a little difference, but it was worth it for me.

there’s also the drama about some people being transphobic (i think?) in the hyprland discord, but i try not to pay too much attention to that.

hyprland accomplishes it’s goal of being pretty (and i got some really cool screenshots), but sway is pure functionality, and it’s damn good at it.

i feel a little more comfortable commenting here.

being a smaller community, i feel like i’m actually contributing when i post something, instead of just adding to a sea of noise

it also helps that i’ve come up with this new “persona”. i’m able to be more of the real me than i can with my main account.

it’s like half way between anonimity and publicity. this account has very little connection to my meatspace existance, so i feel safe to say anything. but at the same time i’m not gonna act like some 4chan user. halfway_neko’s a good girl lol

ye. i’ve been using wayland since forever.

started on hyprland, and then moved to sway, but it’s been an almost perfect experience for me

sometimes i have to install a different version of a package or smth, but otherwise everything works fine.

i think it’s really cool in theory, but only the anonymous ones. i don’t use crypto personally, but it’s important that something like it exists.

cryptobros and capitalism have ruined what little reputation the name had, and it’s obviously not going to replace “normal” money any time soon.

i feel like it’s kind of similar to the cashless systems that most banks use, but you’re trading lots of electricity for “not having the economy be owned by a couple of massive corporations”. obviously it has it’s flaws, but i see that as a worthwhile trade.

edit: oh yeah, i didn’t mention it, but this is another vote for monero (it’s private and it’s an esperanto word :P)

btop because pretty colors :3

i still need to learn how to use top well though, just in case that’s the only option some day. if all else fails i just resort back to ps and (p)kill.

(Arch, btw)

Technical: Better, easier to use APIs for pacman. The last time I tried to do alpm stuff, it wasn’t fun.

Social: Less rtfm. The manual is good, but it’s not cool when people are super elitist (especially towards newbies).

Deleted my entire efi partition while trying to install some grub themes.

And then my backup didn’t work when I tried to restore it.

I have pretty colours now though, so it was all worth it :)
