Can somebody explain in essence what the difference between kakoune and helix bindings are? Edit: What I found so far https://helix-editor.com/?ref=medevel.com https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/2138

Not sure about the alias part but definetly give fuzzel a try as a wayland launcher.

what is a regular desktop non-workstation??

I also use Debian Testing as a work computer. But I am used to more bleeding edge distros. So if somebody strives for rock solidness, I think default debian stable is even a better choice.

Sane defaults, thank you.

That sounds like an excuse to waste lifetime. A good UI should be what makes or breaks an audio player. If I have to enter text queries to play songs this might work after I configured a script which handles all the shit I want to do OR the UI is in itself easy to use so I don't need to go to that length.

yayja, real nice and elegant tiling window manager for people which are fed up with tedious configuration and manual tiling of e.g. i3wm. Really want to test it for gaming at some point.

What is the appeal, I understand fb2k was the shit back in the days. But nowadays I want a music player with elegant defaults instead of customization?

Biggest gripe with cmus are are the hotkeys, its totally unintuitive and frustrating if you don't use it daily and everywhere. Additional small gripe: no album covers, but thats with most terminal players.

I mean we are using Exchange email accounts at work with thunderbird, would be really lol if emails just get "lost". But yea for sure a problem of Thunderbird. No user nor microsoft problem... ;>

Its the best distro for gaming. Valve is using it, rolling distro.

nala

Why play the old iterations? Is there a reason? I think the newer ones are more "beginner friendly"? With training modes and such.

Thanks for the link, so whats left is to have a proper rollback/snapshot feature. I know there are snapper integrations with btrfs for void. But they are not on par with e.g. Opensuse Tumbleweed.

More upvotes needed.

Windows.

Work supposed to be done on the machine would be interesting.

The suggestions made here are already spot on and I can just support the suggestion to use the least amount of extra repos as possible. Packman is the only one I'd consider, also check your repos regularly and see if you can make sense which is what, otherwise get rid of the ones where you have no clue why you had them in the first place (obviously check first which packages they install).

Not sure what you are saying?

I am long-time Tumbleweed user and it really boggles my mind how something like this goes past "quality control" and "testing".

By SFF you are talking small form factor? To my knowledge there is only one big player in this field which is Intel NUC and I am not even sure THEY have business support. Thats a big argument for laptops, because you get proper business support compared to niche products like SFF devices.

But maybe I completely missed your point.
