  • I…I don’t understand. Why would you use Bazzite for software development and not gaming when user is not a gamer but just likes KDE?

    you can literally put KDE on anything. Bazzite isn’t friendly to installing anything that isn’t a flatpak or whatever.

    Just use a different distro. you don’t need Bazzite. Switch them to like Fedora KDE or something.

    And to people in this thread trying to push a camel through a pin hole…why? you’re talking about setting up VMs and Distroboxs or just using flatpaks on Bazzite when the most painless solution is to just switch distros.

    You picked the wrong distro, just switch them to something more appropriate for what they want to do.




  • yeah man do it. I’m making money hand over fist cleaning up AI slop, sure I’d love to have more clients in Toronto that need to dig themselves out of the LLM mess they made. get that government money that will eventually go into my pocket.

    I’d rather that billion go towards housing though. But hey if they want to throw away a billion dollars over 5 years I’m more than happy to take a little bit of it off their hands.

    Protip: If you’re a developer and you’re struggling to find work, bone up on your code review and freelance yourself to companies to clean up AI slop, been doing that for over the past year and I’m making more money than I ever did when I was just a regular web/software dev.



  • If i’m using firefox I prefer trydactil over vimium.

    Trydactil is more inline with Qutebrowser. and honestly it actually does quickmarks better than qutebrowser. what I like about Trydactil is you can have quickmark binds set up to access sites. Works awesome if you also install the i3 firefox theme.

    Only issue is Mozilla is an absolute paranoid android about certain things like using these extensions when opening new tabs or using them to navigate ANYTHING that Mozilla directly controls. then you have to get ANOTHER extension just to make tabs work the way you want. it’s annoying. So I just use Qutebrowser instead.



  • DOOM Emacs + Everywhere. I use this.

    Doom Emacs is essentially a vim version of Emacs. same nav and everything. With the Everywhere plugin you can quite literally use emacs and thus vim to type…well…everywhere. For example I’m typing this reply right now using Emacs and thus vim navigation. I can use it to write emails in other programs or have it included in my TUI email client. use it for writing comments on websites, pretty much where ever there’s a text field I can keybind it to use Doom Emacs. It’s pretty neat.
