it's just an os, you're not better just bc you memorized a bunch of terminal commands and willingly subjected yourself to a poorer user experience

if you don't give a fuck about user freedom and just want to use a unix os, then fuck off to any bsd out there and stfu

yes and that sucked. i'm glad we're not like that anymore

what is it with linux nerds not understanding that you can have configurability without it being mandatory? i'm not saying the terminal shouldn't exist, just that i shouldn't have to use it

every time you need to open a terminal for some basic system operation is a defeat for the system

(i get that this is not a very common operation, but still)

it's not just that this is not for me. i genuinely don't see the point of a terminal-only editor (even vim has a gui version) without any extensibility. the reason vim and emacs are still being used despite being old and full of cruft is that their extensibility makes them very adaptable. treesitter et al seem enough now, but what about ten years from now?

it's also weird their motivation for being terminal-only is better performance, as if guis are this super resource intensive thing and not something that's been mainstream for at least 30 years

there's no such thing as politically neutral

obligatory reminder that us-american domestic politics are so skewed to the right that what appears "moderate" in the usa is right to far-right anywhere else

your "liberals" are right-wing your "conservatives" are right-wing both are liberals

for the terminal

no thank you

there is currently no plugin system available

lmao

i didn't read the entire post and likely won't, but this caught my eye

making task lists so that I can see everything and make sure it gets done

this kind of commitment might be getting in the your way of getting anything done. it might sound paradoxical, but you need to fully accept and embrace your limitations, including not being able to get done what you set out to get done. instead of trying to do what you "need" to do, focus on just doing what you can do and accept that everything else will not get done. which might mean that you might fail to do important tasks, but that's a better alternative than getting nothing done

having adhd, especially if you're unmedicated, means you're constantly mitigating the consequences of not completing essential, periodic tasks. half your efforts will go towards paying interest (metaphorically and literally). this might sound bleak, but once you truly understand and fully accept that, it will be easier to cope with not being able to do everything you need to do and celebrate whatever you are able to. then you will be able to make the most out of your efforts with the least amount of suffering possible

(if you can, delegate tasks you have the most trouble with to people who are willing to help and fully understand what having adhd means)

also, whatever method you use to manage your tasks, it is crucial to make it as simple as possible and make it auxiliary instead of binding. in my case, what i found to help recently are post-it notes. in your case, it might be something else

good luck!

agreed. they already told us the company is based, no need to tell they have ties to the ccp

oh, i forgot gnome forces you to reboot after each update (plasma just installs the updates in the background after you ask it to)

if you don't mind me asking: why? in my experience, keeping the system up to date is usually effortless

emacs (the master branch)

it's surprisingly less buggy and way faster than the prebuit, stable version. it also doesn't take very long to compile new changes if you keep building from a local git clone

i wish i didn't need a terminal emulator

in the meantime, emacs is a decent replacement

eh

my last personal anectode with ubuntu is this: my company decided to setup our office as a remote-onsite hybrid workplace, so our working machines were moved to a rack elsewhere to be accessed remotely and the local machines were supposed to act as basically dumb terminals that can be used interchangeably by us

we develop on rhel, but since the local machines are just to access our dev machines remotely, support decided to install ubuntu because it "just works". turns out, since ubuntu does a lot of stuff its own way for no good reason, it broke under our network configuration (it's complicated) and no snap application could run -- so, no slack or firefox. not a great scenario for a workplace. in the end we decided to replace ubuntu by rhel and no longer had any issues

you're right that ubuntu might work flawlessly for you and that it might never break. but, it also might break in unexpected ways. i cannot reliably recommend ubuntu to a beginner because this risk might forever put someone off of linux

i mean... when it doesn't break, it works better than anything else. 5-minute installs, supports a ton of configurations and peripherals out of the box, makes gnome a little more usable, etc, etc

...but it breaks, eventually

you're right, but the issues with ubuntu crop up later, when you have to update or after you install enough incompatible stuff that it breaks your system. which is a shame bc ubuntu is the most user friendly distro there is imo

this is us-american domestic politics brainrot

please ignore any us-american terminology and concepts. both so-called "conservatives" and "liberals" in the usa are liberals. "libertarians" are also liberals. politics in the usa are so skewed to the right compared to the rest of the planet that you think all these are fundamentally different political ideologies, but they're merely fringes of the same one. in the end, they ultimately defend private property, imperialism, and us-american hegemony. republicans and democrats act on behalf of the same interests, they just mold their presentation to appeal to different demographics

right-wing "libertarianism" is a non-philosophy
