I'm glad I used Infinity for Reddit, which was always FOSS, and there is now a new fork Eternity for Lemmy.

EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma. Plus Tiny11 in a WM whem I need to run some Windows programs that don't work with Wine.

I did

Some things just can't be forgotten.

That's cool! Do you know about any similar solution for KDE Plasma/Kwin by any chance? Also, would it be theoretically possible to save the process to some kind of swapfile on disk so it doesn't take up space in RAM?

For copying from Tmux, I recommend tmux-yank. There are also multiple plugins allowing you to copy predefined set of text types (IP adresses, URLs, etc...). I'm currently using tmux-thumbs. Note that you have to set custom command in tmux-thums to actually copy the text to xclip or whatever you are using. example in my dotfiles

Vim has a ton of clipboards and I still couldn't figure them out.

I believe they added this in windows recently. Otherwise I absolutely agree though.

How did you setup auto scroll? It doesn't work for me.

Yes, but people find this interesting because historically, Microsoft was actively trying to destroy Linux (look up Halloween documents) and even said that Linux is cancer.

Thanks for explanation!

They do not distribute any binaries to avoid copyright issues I believe. There are some telegram channels doing what you described, but I wouldn't trust it enough to use it.

Yes, always search it on github and tell people to find it on github if you can't provide a link for them.

I don't use VSCode for the exact reason. I used VSCodium but switched to Neovim. I see this problem more with GitHub (also owned by Microsoft). I was not able to get off GitHub yet, but I'm planning to switch to Codeberg probably. I heard that GitLab is also closed source?

So it's basically something with big impact?

https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts

Works great, is well documented and trusted. If I remember correctly it has multiple ways of activating stuff and you can select the one you want with explanation and pros/cons of each method.

EDIT: Documentation is here: https://massgrave.dev/ And it can even activate Office or change Windows edition.

Downloading the script and checking if it's the same script as the one on github is definitely better. Or running the curl but on raw.githubusercontent.com adress, because then you can be pretty sure it's not something else than you see.

These are the most well-known activation scripts that many people trust. They are well documented and often recommended, with more than one contributor. Written in powershell, I believe that if they were malicious, some of the 46k people who starred the repo or 4.8k people who forked it would notice. That being said, you can only be sure if you read the code, which is luckily not that difficult in the powershell script case. I personally trust them, definitely more than I trust Microsoft itself :D

Sadly, some people have to use Windows.

Oh, I thought disruptive is a negative adjective. Translator translates it to my language as a negative adjective.
