  • What kind of text editing do you do? Coding? Config files? Hard to recommend if we don’t know the use case :P

    If you want to get into terminal text-editors, I recommend https://helix-editor.com/ . It’s modal like vi/vim/neovim etc., but has much easier and more intuitive keybinds, and comes batteries-included and doesn’t require extensions.

    Downsides: Not fully mature, there’s no extension support so not suited for very niche use-cases. And if you ever have to administrate a server through SSH, it will likely only have vim which has different motions and keybinds.

    Been using it for 99% of my coding for three ish years, very happy.


  • What I’m saying is that integer scaling is no longer required. I’ve been using non-integer scaling on laptops for the last three ish years on Plasma, and I’ve seen the number of apps that can’t handle it go from a few to almost none. I’m not missing out, I’m living the dream :D

    That being said you make a good point. With (good) fractional scaling support on linux being very recent and only working properly on certain desktops, some resolutions are not optimal. I imagine 1440p and such isn’t great. A linux laptop should at least provide a warning.









  • IMO if it works for you then there’s nothing wrong with using AI this way. I wouldn’t recommend it myself but you do you. No need to feel guilty.

    Well the one thing that kinda wrong about it is the immense energy usage of most LLMs. But you aren’t putting an artist out of a job or anything like that.
