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.

Good times

Laundry, drinking, and gaming. In that order with a side of the Monday scaries that fully kick in on a Sunday afternoon.

Used to buy these religiously every month about 15 years ago. They used to come with distros on a disc and I had pretty rubbish internet at the time so they were pretty handy for distro hopping.

They also did a really great podcast at that time too!

Glad to see they're still going!

This is the kind of shitpost I subscribed to see. Thank you.

Ferrari radio has been comedy gold this year, so far.

I regret getting up early for that. Nice to see the top 3 stick together all race long but could have done with something to mix things up a little.

Quite enjoyed it. Like a small moment of meditation during the breaks.

Thanks for putting this together!

I should count myself lucky that I can stand still...

Get a bump in pay and it immediately all goes to cover increases in bills/essentials. No better off than this time last year...

Same, the internet has ruined us.

Well, yes... In hidden folders cause I was a l33t h4kz0r in my youth. But that's just between me and you.

And then backing them onto zip disks. Good times.

I went 100% -> tkl -> 60% -> corne (couldn't do it) -> lilly58 -> kenisis -> dactyl

If you can solder then kits aren't expensive vs pre built. Go for hot swap and you can start out with cheaper switches and experiment from there. And if you can't solder then it's actually good way to learn 🤣

A true inspiration to us all

Bro literally giving 110% 💪👊

Don't compare yourself to the rest of the comments. If your setup works for you then it's a good setup.

If you're interested in becoming more keyboard driven, start with learning vscode/db gui shortcuts for things that you do a lot: executing queries, jump to definition, or renaming variables, etc.

We're all on our own journey as cringe as it may sound. Mine was due to wrist, thumb, and shoulder pain rather than being super productive.

For normal text I do have home/end bound but use it so infrequently that I forget them 😅
