I think there’s still something wrong with your setup… You should be able to have as many Firefox windows and tabs as you’d like without using too much RAM, since they should de “suspended”.

I regularly have hundreds of tabs running fine, on 32GB of RAM.

Most likely it’s a vscode extension that’s leaking memory, and this problem will still happen after your upgrade, just take longer.

chsh does not modify /bin/sh

Maybe you’re thinking of a certain video from a certain YouTuber who linked /bin/sh to fish?

That’s… all stow does, there’s nothing more to it. If you need some other feature don’t waste your time trying to make it work with stow, It’s just a meme in my opinion.

About the “package manager” functionality, stow was originally supposed to be a development tool for the Perl programming language, you download a bunch of libraries into a directory, then use stow to merge those files into the root of your project (like a caveman), as it turned out some people started using it to manage dotfiles, and here we are.

When I started trying to organize my dotfiles, I started with stow, but quickly found it very limited.

After that I found dotdrop, which is considerably more involved, but gives you total control. My config with dotdrop quickly started growing insanely huge, at some point I even had system-wide systemd services declared.

Then I found out I was basically reinventing nixos and home-manager, so I switched to that.

Does this happen on wayland, X11 or both?

Any rolling release still wins because they are at version 2024.1.9

Hahaha, there’s a video where he says this. I guess most people here don’t know about it. I think Nick shared it on mastodon, but I’m not sure now.

For me the appeal is potentially being able to verify that my code at least compiles and has basic functionality on Darwin. No idea if this can be useful for anyone other than developers.

On gnome super+left click allows you to move windows, by default.
You can also enable super+right click to resize with gnome tweaks. In my opinion this should be the default.

Maybe you used bpytop, not btop? They look the same iirc.

~/go is created when compiling go programs, you can change it’s location with the GOPATH environment variable to something like GOPATH=$HOME/.local/go, and moving the directory there.

Never seen ~/perl5, could you provide the output of perl -V

Maybe you don’t have a short attention span 🤣 The only reason I use Kakoune is because I completely lose my train of thought if I can’t get an edit done quick enough.

☝️ 🤓 If by master/slave you mean “A system in which the master node is responsible to do everything a slave does plus coordinate slaves”
and by client/server you mean “A system in which a server is responsible only for coordinating clients”.
I don’t think so, because the first window is not special, it just spawns a server if none is assigned.

Long-ish time Kakoune user here.

For those who have tried Kakoune, once you’ve included things like Treesitter and the clangd language server, which one feels faster, Kakoune or Neovim?

I never felt the need to install something like Treesitter because I feel selection-based editing is already powerful enough, if that gives you an idea of how much faster I am with Kakoune compared to Neovim. Maybe I just don’t know everything Treesitter can do 🤔

which apparently allows you to have one master Kakoune instance and multiple slave instances that would be in sync

It’s not a master/slave setup, it really is client/server, even the first instance of kakoune that you open will be a client that you can close without the other instances going down with it.

I’m not sure if Kakoune shares the clipboard with all of those instances?

Yup, all shared: registers, buffers, marks, hooks. (You can choose not to share stuff between clients)

~/.config/mimeapps.list contains a line “terminal=foot.desktop” (tried also without .desktop).

I don’t think that is a real option.

There is no standard way to set the default terminal emulator, you need to tell your launcher application(sometimes through your DE settings) to use that terminal. For example, j4-dmenu-desktop has the option --term.

As a file managers I use lf and nnn, they both contain .desktop-files but I can’t launch them with keybinds or menu launcher. Same applies to vim.desktop, nothing happens.

How are you launching these programs? For keyboard shortcuts you generally need to specifically run the terminal emulator together with the program: bindsym Mod4+Return exec alacritty -e hollywood

Edit. I managed to find a workaround for lf and nnn by editing the Exec= line in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop file. (Exec=/usr/bin/foot -e nnn) but I still can’t figure the swayimg imageviewer.

I would advise you to copy those files to ~/.local/share/applications so they do not get overwritten during updates.

Maybe your .bashrc has some logic that conditionally modifies your environment when run in a interactive terminal?
