As an amateur radio operator, I can confirm this as factual. Over.

Man, that’s wild!

Vid didn’t work for me on boost. Had to follow the permalink chain to https://gvid.tv/v/sU06qlMa

Haven’t tried the voyager but did try a corne and missed the number row.

I use vim so make heavy use of the symbols. My brain just couldn’t click with the layering I had to do.

I moved onto a lilly58 which I preferred for programming before ultimately building a dactyl.

Think it depends on your primary use case to be fair. I could type general text fine with the corne but missed the extra symbol keys for coding.

Home row mods on whichever one you go for is probably worth a look!

Looks cool!!!

Nice write up, I enjoyed reading this! 15-20 years ago I would have loved nix and dumping hours into configuring every little detail.

I’m at the point now where I just want a distro I can install in 10-20 mins, copy over a couple of dot files, install a few apps, and be up and running.

Same. Though in my case, I over caffeinated this morning.

How do you fix “absolute fuckwaffle”? Asking for a friend.

This is the way. Obviously you have to eat the spillage to avoid food waste.

Yep, started of with the stock OS and distrobox for dev stuff. I had occasional issues with multi monitor setup so ended up just using 1 on its own.

Recently put cachyOS handheld on it instead.

No problems with it so far. For gaming I mainly use it hooked up to either a monitor or TV but handheld works fine too.

Dev wise, I’ve gone down the docker rabbit hole and had no issues so far with it.

Too soon

Was not on my bingo card.

Took me a minute… was expecting void in the foreground

It’s beautiful, I’ve looked at this for five minutes now. You’ve won at the internet today, gg

Thank you for ruining my day. And a Friday no less…

Was my first thought too

I use mine as my main desktop pc. I’ve put cachyOS on it (handheld edition).

It depends on what software you need to run though. I’m a programmer so Linux for me is great but it might not support all the software you currently use.

I still have my old laptop, again running cachyOS, for sitting on the couch or going portable. I have tried using the deck on its own sitting in a dock with a Bluetooth mouse and KB. It works fine but the screen is very small so I prefer the laptop.

You could maybe try dual booting your laptop with a beginner friendly distro like Ubuntu, fedora, or bazzite (if you want gaming) to dip your toe in the water before fully diving in.

Based on past experience, fairly truthful.

I’m still a bit sceptical over LLMs but I’ve used copilot for line code completion for a few years now.

More recently I’ve started playing about with agents. I’ve been using avante.nvim for a couple of months with Claude and quite like it. The setup was a bit of a faff but it works quite well and has support for the more mainstream agents.

Over the last few days I’ve started trying out augment code which has a neovim plugin. Still on the fence about that one.

I’m no expert when it comes to any of this but this is what I’ve been messing about with. Hope it’s useful!
