  • As a non native speaker: what the fuck

  • I'd recommend Zorin. It has a UI similar to windows, easy to get into, great defaults, and being based on Ubuntu, most help on the internet will work just fine

  • It's because the installation is old, new ones are always grounded

  • But who is this for? New laptops?

    Apple has a closed system, so they can use whatever layout they want, but how can Microsoft require that manufacturers will implement this key?

    I know that it happened before with the Win key, but I'm too young to know the details of how that became the norm.

  • yay for the win

  • I'm used to this kind of guy

  • I wish

  • Americans plugs are very strange

  • I guess Firefox market share will be closely related to Linux desktop market share

  • Oh, I understand. That's not what I was thinking tho, I misinterpreted the "cross-instances" thing, I thought it meant supercommuties taht includes communities from various instaces

  • MIT is basically "do anything you want with it, I don't care". I means some company can reuse it in its closed source projects freely and without notice or royalty.

    There are plenty of other licenses that require you to also go open source if you include and/or modify it. Basically "you can use ot however you want, but if you modify it, it has to be open source as well"

  • Are there cross instances communities in Lemmy? How does that work?

  • I'm Brazilian and, although I'm not in the hottest area, summer easily hits 40°C, so yeah, 25°C is not perfect, that would be 20°C, but is pretty good still

  • I tried it out, and it was so cumbersome to install packages that I gave up. I understand its application in servers, but for home computers it's a pain in the ass

  • :wq!

  • Why are these hard to understand editors still the default on most distros and flavors

    I think nano is usually the default nowdays. Nano os pretty minimal and has it's keybinds always on display so you don't need to memorize them.

    Why haven't they reinvented themselves with easier to understand shortcuts?

    Nothing about vim and alternatives feels intuitive or easy to use

    (Neo)vim doesn't need to reinvent itself to be more accessible, because it does what it does very well. I'm a web dev and have used vscode like anybody else for a long time. I decided to try neovim because vscode was performing badly, but kept me using it because of how good the developer experience is. Once you learned how to use it, there is just nothing better.

    but when every other software with keyboard shortcuts agrees on certain easy to remember standards, I don't quite understand how software that goes against all of that hasn't been replaced or hasn't reinvented itself in newer versions

    In a way, it has been replaced. Most people will use a user friendly IDE and ignore vim. The thing about vim is that it does things in a fundamentally different way than any other editor, so reinventing itself would mean loosing everything that makes it good, then you better off using something else.

    Then again, I have no idea what the difference between vi, vim, emacs, and nano are

    Nano is a simple, easy terminal text editor; vi, vim and neovim are three versions of the same quirky and hard, but very good text editor/IDE; emacs is a quirky, but kinda bad editor that has amazingly good extendability.
