  • Possibly look into using other level modifiers. I use caps lock as level 5 mod to use navigation at home row. You could then map custom keys to say Caps+0

    This would also help avoid polluting the ctrl, ctrl+shift layers at they are typically application level keybinds.

    But this would have a higher learning curve than using other tools for key mapping.

  • All the apprehension in the comments are valid. Many govt departments have adopted linux in the past but continues using Windows. Seen a few govt supplied devices come with dual boot with Win and some custom debian distro but those are seldom used.

    Most of India, like the world, is heavily reliant on MSOffice suite. And the govt cant get enough of documents, so unless they have a good migration plan off of office or have them pre-installed on their linux distro, this itself would be a major pain point.

    Other than that, of the govt employees I've seen in the education field, most are pretty computer illiterate. They basically use the browser, file explorer and office and only learn enough to do that. So migrating them to linux would work if they are willing to learn the minimal platform differences with those.

    So unless these departments have incompatible software or sites that only work on IE this might work. You might think its cant be that bad but many places used floppy till some 5-7 years and have successfully transitioned to CDs for submitting internal department documentations. Although recently many use whatsapp and use DVDs for archival. Then theres are the poorly designed portals launched with every new government scheme. Many of those function poorly on firefox.

  • Unless you are looking to work on shared systems/servers as sysadmin or other jobs, explore shells like zsh or fish and customise them rather than stick to bash. A lot more user friendly and accessible advanced features. Helps with learning a lot. Zsh is compatible with bash but fish isn't. So choose based on what your goal with learning shell is.

    If you are sticking with debian based distros, try apt and synaptic(GUI) to install your software. At some point you might also need to install tar archives. Don't get worried as most guides should be easy to follow.

  • Like other comments mention, neovim is way better and use preconfigured setups (like Astrovim) when getting started to discover features you like and then get to writing your own configurations.

    Also micro is way better than nano foa simple edits and available on most package managers.

  • Thank you. Had tried kodi plugin for YT and had a terrible experience. Pretty much stuck to using YT only on mobile or browser for so long thinking removing ads on TV wasn't possible. Now can enjoy some good videos without 3 unskippable ads nearly after every video.

  • Follow the other comment or, open the 'App Info' of default YT app (by holding dorn on the app icon). Goto 'open by default'. In 'Open supported links' choose 'Dont allow app to open links'. For Revanced follow above and set it to 'Allow app topen supported links'. The supported links should already be availablefior revanced.

    Or you can set 'Ask everytime' for both and chose when opening an URL.

  • China is bad

  • So its alright as long as you aren't directly affected. Lets push it all onto desperate economies to mine the earth and bear the brunt of pollution while I enjoy the clean air and pristine water bodies.

  • More than old friends. India is heavily reliant on russian arms. Replacing them would be a slow, expensive process. Considering it is surrounded on two sides by aggressors with regular conflicts, jeopardizing relations with Russia is not an option.

  • ( Like mentioned m3u8 ) Video streams are often not easily downloadable with just default browser options. You have to dig into the network connection, hope the site doesn't block you, get the mentioned file and pass it to a tool like yt-dlp to finally get the video file.

    The other option is to use extensions like IDM, etc. which do the above for you.
