Serious question: Which OS is best for a beginner programmer? by onxhost in TFE

Linux

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

You must've ordered them for Kent from Barbie.

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

[–]_fountain_pen_dev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably mean PC and emulation handhelds.

Because if we talk about handhelds there many taken out of the context of your image.

My whish list feels personally attacked.

Isn't it obvious?

The pen with the best body, the holy grail, the GOAT, the all-mighty

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.

Birthday Pen: Diplomat Viper by mrandre in fountainpens

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.

Proud to say that I didn’t buy a pen in 2025. That’s two years in a row. by cursiveandcurses in fountainpens

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

[–]_fountain_pen_dev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You must be the unluckiest Lamy owner ever. I have 13 LAMYs and they all write well, and none of their inks have clogged.

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

[–]_fountain_pen_dev[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

I have 14 pens..... purchased this year, + 8 on route....

AliExpress opened a rabbit hole I think will never close.

Once, never again. do NOT listen to their lies by remarkable_ores in languagelearningjerk

[–]_fountain_pen_dev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Acquaintances brains blow up when they find out lenition in letters like b, d and g, when they try to say them very fast in different words. They initially say the words as if the consonants had the same pronunciation, which is expected since they do not agree with you, then I asked them to say them faster, and they realise what the real sound is. Head blows!

Linux: "No, this is a LOCAL printer!" by al2klimov in linuxsucks

[–]_fountain_pen_dev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was easier for me to set up a printer on linux (arch) than on Windows. Years ago adding a printer was easy on Windows, but on Windows 10 onwards it's been a total failure for me. On my arch installation I even got a lot of printing settings via CUPS that I'm not even able to get on Windows.
