From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For me, it's hands down Flameshot. The best screenshot tool in the world - I've got it hooked up to my PrtScrn key for super easy screenshots.

I also love Kwrite as a Notepad++ alternative, and KolourPaint as a MSPaint alternative

  • patched dwm
  • polybar
  • kitty
  • a ton of tui's (mutt, ncspot, cointop, btop, dry, etc)
  • obsidian
  • vscode
  • rofi, thunar
  • blender and daz3d (wine)
  • discord, element

The only real piece of software I don't like is Zoom; it's the most badly behaved app I've ever seen. Suck my balls Zoom, stay in your own god damned workspace.

Can't you just use the zoom website?

Theoretically, I haven't tried. It's for a online D&D campaign, so I like having Zoom and Discord on a second monitor because my main monitor already has maps, character sheet, Obsidian for taking notes, etc.

Most of my video calling is over Teams or Discord, so I may have been thinking of Webex which used to give you a http link that would force you to download the client software and launch it.

I'd suggest Jitsi as an alternative to Zoom.

I really wish I could, though the DM is dead set on using Zoom.

[–] themarty27@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Is there any reason (like, at all) for him to insist on Zoom? Also, if he's more lenient regarding Discord, Revolt is pretty decent.

It's surprising that for someone as terminal oriented as you seem, your editor of choice is viscose and not vim or emacs

I use lunarvim quite a bit, however the application I work with has over 65k code files and sometimes telescope just doesn't cut it. I also use a number of VSC plugins that I just cannot for the life of me get working in neovim, like the gauge.org LSP stuff.
