Yeah, it’s fine. Haven’t had too much trouble in a good 10 odd years, once the WiFi drivers settled. Mind you I’m not fucking upgrading to 24.04 for another couple of weeks.

Vscode does not handle this well the one time I accidentally created 2 files with different cases. On one level it recognises them both as separate files, but other time thinks they’re the same.

If it had an accelerometer and Bluetooth I’d have it already.

I kinda just hold it all in my head and fix stuff when I notice it’s broken.

Curious how they define professional use, like my work desktop is windows, but all the servers are rhel

Ha, I recently upgraded to an nvme drive from SATA, cloned the drive and then realised I need to move the windows partition all the way to the end to let me expand the Linux partition. Which broke windows. After about 2-3 hours of troubleshooting it was working again. It was around then I realised I hadn’t booted into windows in 2 years!

Can we disable the prompt?

Hurd, surely?

No squeal

Alias sudo=run0

And it’s cloning NT

It’s a lovely OS no doubt, but I just want an editor.

No self respecting person would use Emacs.

Arch?

That’s GNU/Hurd thank you

More cat abuse

Haha, I’m in an awkward place with FreeCAD, I love it for what it is, but I’m definitely not saying it’s without its shortcomings. The latest dev build seemingly has some great QoL upgrades for the sketcher. The topo naming issue is an absolute pain and the various assembly workbenches can be excruciating to work with at times. Everything takes longer than bigger CAD packages too.

I can normally get there in the end though. The principals are the same, sketch/pad/pocket/fillet etc. there are definite issues with the underlying CAD kernel as well, fillets are just batshit sometimes (like, it won’t round an edge, let’s you round an exact mirror of the edge on the other side of the model, you close the program and open it again and now you can round the edge).

Honestly, I think they can get there - probably more direction in the project would get it further and more paid devs working on core components would help (for instance there’s a guitar design workbench but no midpoint constraint in sketcher, but it’s open source and someone wanted to build a guitar design workbench and that’s that) I suspect they don’t get anything like the funding Blender does (160k+ pcm) which is probably needed for a number of years to get it where it needs to be.

I think FreeCAD is still the best bet, it does.seem to be making a few strides recently. Topo naming and sketcher workbench are both getting updates. For me personally it’s definitely usable for personal projects. I want better FreeCAD rather than an alternative new thing.

Naw, it’s closer to 0.5% but they talk about 8 times as much as everyone else.

You mean GNU/Hurd
