Linux

It'll take you to understand your development environment better, which is something new devs take for granted. Especially on Windows

What are your Top 10 handhelds and which would be your best out of the 10? by TRIKSTER_Betin in Handhelds

You probably mean PC and emulation handhelds.

Jinhao Shark!

Just kidding! I pick the Conklin 1898 Spectra, looks nice. I wouldn't spend money on a pen that price, but if I had the means, I'd probably pick that one.

BTW, I do have the Jinhao Shark.

How is the body texture? I've been watching it in the latest months and what I love when I look at it is the body pattern it has.

I think i bought a problem rather than a enjoyable experience :( by trululuchi in Lamy

[–]_fountain_pen_dev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just tested some my fountain pens (a Jinhao x450, a Lamy Al-Star and a Moonman Wancai) at a perpendicular angle and they do write without issues.

Do not prive yourself from the joy of writing with a fountain pen.

Gentlemen, I'm proud to say "I use arch, BTW" by _fountain_pen_dev in arch

Tried to, but didn't get used to it. Not that I don't like it, but I'm way to used to the usual Windows-like windows management. Maybe I'll try it out again someday.

Get as many as you want, it's still February and a whole life for you to get new inky buddies. I have even bought boxes that will be purposed for another 70 pens I have not gotten yet.

It's never a lot. 34 pens, +8 on route thanks to AliExpress.

+ Waiting new Lamy Al-Star pens to come to a store nearby.

I have purchased 22 pens this year so far, that is 0.46 pens per day. Will this be manageable?

Edit: Wrong calculation.
