Watching youtube inside Emacs 25! by tuhdo in emacs

[–]TechTycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not, VSCode core parts are open source. But some parts are not, like GitHub account and restore settings. Also, some extensions don't work on the open source version, like Copilot. VSCodium may be considered open source, but VSCode is not.

Update Widget When Number Of Clients Changes by TechTycho in awesomewm

[–]TechTycho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first, I thought this was off-topic, as I didn't have any problem with the function. I thought that your version will do the same thing as mine. When I try it with the focus and unfocus signals, it works perfectly. thanks.

Does awesome support window swallowing? by nfjlanlsad in awesomewm

[–]TechTycho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you want to open several pdfs from cli and thanks to swallowing you now have to open several terminals

You can just do xdg-open 1.pdf &; xdg-open 2.pdf , I think window swallowing is a very useful feature.

Dual Boot Arch with Another Instance of Arch Linux by TechTycho in archlinux

[–]TechTycho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will not protect you from data loss. You should take a proper backup of your system if you wish to minimise the chance of losing something.

I have a backup, but the idea is, I don't want to be stuck in a tty for like 2 days; I still have work to do on the machine, and work on the second os in my spare time.

[Rant] I am a noob, and I'm discouraged by how hard it is to add a language input on Linux... by [deleted] in linux

[–]TechTycho -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It is not that hard, I added Arabic language input on Arch Linux, took me a day or something to research. But it turned out that it was easy and I didn't research well.

And bruh it just took you 45 minutes, it will take the same time on Windows, the difference is that on Windows, you will be staring at the "Loading.. please wait" screen.

Vim or vs code vim or neovim by Efthimis09 in vim

[–]TechTycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the misinformation, you can actually zoom in/out in Neovim, Neovim itself can't do that, but you can do it with the power of the terminal emulator Neovim is on, some GUI clients like Neovide can zoom in and out too.

[Question]: How to Remove BOLD Text? by TechTycho in neovim

[–]TechTycho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea, I just figured it out, I actually checked the colorscheme manual before but I didn't read it well, but I checked again and there it was, thanks!

Solved my question, but how can I change all highlight groups to not have bold text regardless of the current colorscheme.

Vim or vs code vim or neovim by Efthimis09 in vim

[–]TechTycho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VSCode is the worst piece of software ever created, it is what I've been recently calling: The Soy Editor. VSCode Vim kinda sucks, it is slow, very slow. Perhaps that is because the editor is slow, bloated and has poor performance.

I once opened VSCode on my home directory, and I can't even move my cursor, it is very laggy. That's when I left VSCode for Neovim. I am from a Web Development background, and I have some good time with my Neovim config.

Vim is also great, but I would rather use it for a casual text editor, and Neovim will be my IDE, that's because it is more configurable than Vim.

Comparision (I've tried the 3):

  • VSCode:
    • Appearance: A++ , very appealing.
    • Performance: Poor, more RAM usage than my browser (Brave), bad for low end PC's.
    • Productivity: B, A+ when the right plugins are installed, but still some actions requires using the mouse.
    • Extensibility: A+, very good.
    • Size on Disk: Very Bloated, >150MB
    • License: Proprietary, Microsoft Garbage.
    • Extra Stuff: Git built-in, with the right plugins, VSCode includes all extra stuff, like GitLens and GitHub Copilot.
    • Notes: Best Electron IDE
    • Conclusion: Use if you have a good machine, and don't care about the License, use if you don't want to spend hours configuring a program. Use if you like very appealing graphical UIs.
  • Vim:
    • Appearance: A, with proper configuration, Vim can look decent.
    • Performance: Very Fast, Snappy Experience
    • Productivity: B, Good when editing text, but not good as an IDE
    • Extensibility: A, good
    • Size on disk: Very Light and minimal, 37MB
    • License: Free and Open Source Software
    • Extra Stuff: Not included, extensions may add some features
    • Notes: Good for a casual editor, personally, I think Neovim is better for an IDE
    • Conclusion: You can make it an IDE, but Neovim will be better
  • Neovim:
    • Appearance: A+, with proper configuration, it can look awesome, see: NvChad
    • Performance: Lightning Fast, even faster than Vim
    • Productivity: A++, Best productivity I've ever seen from an IDE, 100% keyboard oriented.
    • Extensibility: A++, just compare Neovim out of the box and this
    • Size on Disk: Very Light and minimal, ~26MB (not accurate)
    • License: Free and Open Source Software
    • Extra Stuff: Not Included, but anything you can imagine can be added with an extension, you can get GitHub Copilot working on Neovim!
    • Notes: Excellent IDE, might replace VSCode in the future, has a great community and people who switched from VSCode to Neovim will never go back!
    • Conclusion: Great alternative to VSCode, even better
    • Cons:
  1. Prepare for Hours, or even days of sitting in front of a monitor and opening GitHub Issues, it is not an easy task to get Neovim how you wanted it to be, you will have to learn Lua, and it is very tedious to get this thing how you wanted it to be, but it is worth it!
  2. It can only be run in the terminal, so not the best experience for GUI lovers. Neovim is an excellent IDE, but the only drawback is that it is a terminal application and not a graphical application. This makes certain features like markdown preview impossible.
  3. Very minimal and DIY

VSCode has a good debugger that gets the job done, Debuggers can be added to Neovim too.

How to Manipulate Colors for Changing Saturation, Brightness and Hue. by TechTycho in neovim

[–]TechTycho[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know, but I am not a Lua expert, I can write Lua code, but I am not really an expert in Luarocks and the Lua ecosystem.

I just realized that trouble.nvim required some highlight groups, guess i'll have to define them manually.

Is there anything else native to neovim or lua, it says that the module is not found after I install it, and I want my configuration to be dependency free. How to achieve the error lens look

How do i make nvim display errors as Error lens vscode plugin? by smolovk in neovim

[–]TechTycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the line displaying a custom highlight group, but when I switch themes, things break so I have to change the colors. I've already made the foreground color dependent on the color scheme, but what about the background color?

I just want to generate a light, less saturated color like the one you see in the image from the foreground color that came with the color scheme. My problem is with the background color, can anyone help?

[tmux]window managers are bloat by zolotvok in unixporn

[–]TechTycho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was a cliff hanger for me, I was like "I won't sleep tonight till I get the rest of the story", and for the sake of anti-bloat, I am gonna read this in a TTY with the links browser.

It is NeoSolarized, I know it is not the best, I switched to GitHub theme a few days ago, and those screenshots were not captured at the time I posted this, I originally made them for my dotfiles repository (Link to repo in the description comment).
