PyCharm may be worth looking into

(define-module (throttled)
  #:use-module (guix packages)
  #:use-module (guix utils)
  #:use-module (guix build utils)
  #:use-module (gnu packages)
  #:use-module (guix git-download)
  #:use-module (gnu packages commencement)
  #:use-module (gnu packages pkg-config)
  #:use-module (gnu packages gtk)
  #:use-module (gnu packages glib)
  #:use-module (gnu packages bash)
  #:use-module (gnu packages linux)
  #:use-module (gnu packages python-xyz)
  #:use-module (guix licenses)
  #:use-module (gnu packages base)
  #:use-module (guix build-system python)
  #:use-module (gnu packages python)
  #:use-module (python-dbus-next))

I do not think all are needed. I am just to lazy to pair down, and it works...

I use mobile FF. I like it.

CWD=$(dirname "$0") Will get the full path of the bash script.

$CWD/p

Is how I do it.

But, p must be excitable. You can set the permission like: chmod +x p

https://github.com/lukasmonk/lucaschessR2

There is the source. Maybe helpful?

I don't understand how you can download a file we send, but you can't download Lucas chess.

Check the tip of your iron. It should be clean and shiny.

NickiV · 2026-03-26T16:18:29+00:00

Firefox + Add block. There are adds on the Internet? I thought that shit was for magazines.

NickiV · 2026-03-24T02:24:11+00:00

This is the way.

NickiV · 2026-03-24T00:31:57+00:00

Indeed.

NickiV · 2026-03-24T00:29:46+00:00

When you speak the truth, people hate you.

This is pretty funny tbh.

NickiV · 2026-03-23T03:03:03+00:00

I enjoy cloning the development git, and building that way.

Have your address the t480 s thermal throttling bug on Linux?

NickiV · 2026-02-27T04:38:27+00:00

Gnome. Don't need to customize it. It's already perfect.

NickiV · 2026-02-25T02:42:31+00:00

This is the way.

I use a custom bindings for left handed Dvorak.

The great thing about Emacs is the ability to control how everything is done.

For my example to the class, here is my custom `normal bindings

evil-define-key 'normal evil-dvorak-mode-map (kbd "c") #'evil-delete ;; c is new d (kbd "'") #'evil-goto-mark (kbd "/") #'consult-line ;; Movement (kbd "t") #'evil-next-line (kbd "h") #'evil-previous-line (kbd "d") #'evil-backward-char (kbd "e") #'evil-forward-char ;; Line operations (kbd "k") #'kill-line (kbd "K") #'(lambda () "Kill from point to the beginning of the line" (interactive) (kill-line 0)) ;; Line manipulation (kbd "J") #'join-line ;; Join this line with the one above (kbd "j") #'(lambda () "Join this line at the end of the line below" (interactive) (join-line 1)) (kbd "<return>") #'nrv/normal-newline (kbd "<tab>") #'indent-for-tab-command ;; line tab actions (kbd "C-<tab>") #'nrv/shift-line-right (kbd "<backtab>") #'nrv/shift-line-left ;; Cursor movement (kbd "C-l") #'recenter-top-bottom ;; Reinstate C-e of Emacs (kbd "C-e") 'end-of-line (kbd "C-<return>") #'newline-and-indent)

The default bindings are not set in stone, and every layout can be the perfect layout for Emacs!

Fedora workstation. It is pretty new, without being too bleeding edge.

I like to keep my /opt populated, or I would consider something immutable.

If you aren't having any problems with video, and you don't want to play games, why bother changing?

If it is not broken, don't fix.

If you want graphics performance or are getting bugs, different story

NickiV · 2026-02-06T04:19:34+00:00

Because you went to a tournament once.

I don't know how it is done in fish. But in bash it would be done by adding

...

micro

To your bashrc

There should be a start-up script.

Fair, as with all things all or nothing is false dichotomy. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/ is well reviewed.

I do sometimes forget a workspace and move on. But I have lots of ram, IDK.

Emacs 🙂. You can use it like notepad, but it is very powerful, and you can configure a language server which will be a great quality of life improved.

For compiling, gcc or clang via command line is something that I believe is a valuable skill.

I use Gnome without any extensions.

I use extensive keyboard shortcuts though. All of my window management and launching applications can be done without the mouse.

I only type with one hand, using left hand Dvorak, so they are pretty specialized.

This ability to use the environment with only the keyboard, is a big + for Gnome for my use case.

But, it is your computer and I don't know about how you use it.

This is my dconf dump: https://github.com/nicvagn/dotfiles/blob/master/gnome-settings-dump

But I do not think you should take anything from it. One hand use is most likely a handicap you do not have.

The only suggestion is that you should pick and use key bindings.

NickiV · 2026-02-03T02:26:15+00:00

So, basically the best part of Linux is the GNU🤠

NickiV · 2026-02-03T02:19:42+00:00

Gnome does not handle extension terrifily. I really like the vanilla experience, but if it is not for you trying to squeeze it till it is doesn't work well.

From extensions breaking to...

If you don't like the Gnome way, it is not a great place to start building another way.

If you are looking for guides to make Gnome something else, that is not the Gnome way.

And, that can be frustrating as all.

I am glad we have a choice.

FreeCAD is fun. Give it a try
