  • Look, some of us old farts started on Linux back before nano was included by default, and your options for text editing on the command line were either:

    1. vi/vim, a perfectly competent text editor with arcane and unintuitive key combos for commands
    2. emacs, a ludicrously overcomplicated kitchen-sink program that had reasonable text-editing functionality wedged in between the universal woodchuck remote control and the birdcall translation system

    Given those options, most of us chose to learn how to key-chord our way around vim, and old habits die hard.


  • I was a longtime Debian/apt diehard but I’m coming down on the same side of late. My homelab runs Proxmox (Debian based) with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS containers for more up-to-date packages, but my attempt to use KDE Neon (Ubuntu-based) for my desktop PC was a disaster. I’ve switched to Nobara (Fedora-based), and other than having to switch from Wayland back X11 because Wayland on NVidia breaks a bunch of things I need for work it’s been relatively smooth sailing.
