  • My first tiling window manager was Xmonad. There is simply no such thing as going back to a full desktop environment when your first tiling window manager was Xmonad. I haven't even considered using a full desktop environment in years, and I never will.

  • I can remember saving my allowance for however long I had to, to be able to get the game I wanted, and then riding my bike to Walmart, or the used game store, or wherever it was, and then riding home with a stupid grin on face. I feel bad for kids who will grow up to be adults who won't have memories like that.

  • I hate having any more tabs open than I absolutely need. Right now, I have none. I'm probably gonna either fire up a YouTube video or find someone to watch on Twitch here in a minute, at which point I'll have one tab open. I'm not gonna say exactly how much RAM I have, but I have as much RAM as my motherboard will take, so I can definitely afford to open more than one tab. I just don't see any reason to, frankly, and it drives me up the wall.

  • I used Hacker's Keyboard for years and I loved it. A few years ago, I switched to Dvorak, and the Dvorak implemention in Hacker's Keyboard is weird and awkward to use (I think, anyway). I've been using HeliBoard recently, which is still pretty new; it's a fork of OpenBoard which is no longer maintained. I think as long as HeliBoard keeps working as well as it has been, I'll keep using it forever, honestly. I would say it's basically like getting to have Gboard except also FOSS.

  • My dad uses NixOS. My dad knows precisely nothing about computers; just ask him, he'll tell you. I figure, since he's gonna call me for free tech support no matter what operating system he has, anyway, I might as well make everything as reproducible as possible for my own sake. I tried putting Debian testing on his computer, and honestly, that was actually pretty good except that I had to update it for him at least once a week in order to keep everything running smoothly, lol.
