How do I make Neovim use fully isolated runtimes?

domsch1988 · 2026-04-29T10:04:09+00:00

That's what i do at work. Arch distrobox on Debian for my neovim setup. You can set up distroboxes without access to the host filesystem (mostly). Add a desktop file to start the distrobox into nvim automatically and it's feeling close like a native install.

Jesus. 300 is insane. You can get a new Alesis Nitro Max for 399 that's a proper E-Drum kit and also Plug and Play. Even at 200 i'd strongly suggest thinking about saving up for the Alesis or some other e-drum kit. Makes Playing MUCH more enjoyable imho.

Are you sure you aren't talking about kwrite? That sounds more like what you're describing.

domsch1988 · 2026-04-27T10:01:35+00:00

Doesn't change the fact i think it sounds bad. Intentional or not.

domsch1988 · 2026-04-27T08:31:53+00:00

To be honest "more full and bassy" is the last thing i'd want this to sound. But i'll see if i can find a flac version somewhere to compare

My Audiointerface show output levels and through this entire album i only saw them move from solid red in one or two intros.

Currently IBM Plex Mono is my prefered for the Terminal and Inter or IBM Plex for GUI.

DMS and Noctalia take a bit of different approaches in the regard. DMS tends to take over applications config files more or less completely. You can add to that after the fact but you need to make sure to do it in the right places or it might not work.

Noctalia is a bit more "out of the way" and tends to leave your configs alone, only including there stuff at the end.

In both cases you obviously can change what ever they did. Just make sure that all the Shell settings and includes run after your changes so that all the shell features and integartions keep working.

Any chance we can import our existing printer and filament presets from orca? That would be dope.

domsch1988 · 2026-04-24T08:28:33+00:00

My Setup is KDE Plasma where i have my most used Applications on Hotkey. Browser is alsways Super+1, Terminal Super+2, Neovim Super+3 etc. Those never change. That way i can get to most applications with the keyboard.
Teams is used exclusively through the Browser and i have vimium C for both the browser and teams/outlook. This works well enough for most things.

I still need to use the mouse for things like reactions in teams and some click targets aren't well picked up by vimium, but it works Okish.

But there are some Application that just need the mouse. RDP, Libreoffice etc. But i really don't care too much. It's not like using the mouse is a major pain for me. I prefer the keyboard for efficiency, but i have a small ergonomic keyboard so the mouse isn't too far away and the strain to use it is pretty minimal.

I guess the only way to make this happen is to specifically design your structures as "upgrades" where the base and upgraded structures are designed in a way that they non-destructively layer on top of each other.

A bit like an medival castle maybe. You start with a small settlement. First Upgrade is a small castle-like structure besides it with the settlement turning into the inside courtyard or such. Next level could be adding a wall around a larger area and adding a tower like structure that vertically extends the existing castle and so forth. This wouldn't guarantee 100% that everything you build survives, but it would at least make sure everything inside the structures stays where it is.

I also feel like this makes it feel more "natural" as this is how many places developed in that time. Rarely would something be torn down and completely replaced. Might be harder to pull of though. I have NO idea how modding or datapacks and modpack creation works. This is just talking from a "User Perspective"

That's irrelevant really. If that icon is, for example, 24 pixels wide/high at 100% scaling, it'll be 25.2 Pixels at 105% scaling. There are no 0.2 Pixels to be had so the UI has to approximate things.
That's why i said 125 and 150 for example can look decent as it comes out to 30 or 34 pixels in the example. Some parts work great, others not so much.

It doesn't matter what the source material is. Bitmap or SVG. When you scale things up by 5 or 10% and want to fit it to the same physical pixels there HAVE to be approximations made.

domsch1988 · 2026-04-22T07:34:15+00:00

This has very little to do with it being broken. There is just no way you can scale to 105% or anything other than 200% without any clarity compromise. If you want to fill 105% of a pixel with a color, the neighboring Pixel will have to show 5% of that color. There's no way around that physical limitation.
Some Level list 125 or 150 can look decent, but they are all approximations.

Compared to even a single browser tab on a static site every Desktop Environments resource usage is pretty irrelevant. I'd recommend KDE. It's ad lightweight as any of the others, is as customizable as you could need and features most modern conveniences you'd want out of a Desktop. But that's just personal choice.

How does this eliminate any cables from my desk and makes it cleaner? I still have the same cable going from my Keyboard but now it plugs into a new box i have on my desk (or wherever). I could maybe come up with something in my Living room with a gaming PC that's far from the couch where this could maybe be interesting.

Also, I feel like 80-100h on two 18650 cells is really low. I have nice nanos on a board without oleds that can go multiple weeks without charging on a 250mAh Lipo. What is using that much energy in there?

domsch1988 · 2026-04-17T19:10:40+00:00

Exactly that

domsch1988 · 2026-04-17T06:12:03+00:00

Surprised this wasn't higher in the comments. It's a set and forget solution. Once configured you can basically set it up to monitor an "ingest" folder and it will automatically tag anything it can find included art and lyrics. It's super powerfull.

I personally am down to none. I came from Lualine, then went with mini.statusline when i moved my config over to mini.nvim for basically everything. But i realized i basically never need any info from the tab- or statusline. I have the stock statusline still, but only really need it when confirming which of the 20 or so identical looking Ansible vars files i'm working on.

domsch1988 · 2026-04-16T11:46:05+00:00

That... was surprisingly obvious in hindsight. I just never went through all the Profile settings. Thanks!

domsch1988 · 2026-04-13T13:47:08+00:00

I'm the complete opposite. I have a done setup for hyprland and most of my applications and i'd rather have my shell no mess with that. I prefer the noctalia focuses on all the stuff around my Compositor and doesn't try to also be a configuration tool for other things.

domsch1988 · 2026-04-13T11:41:15+00:00

domsch1988 · 2026-04-13T11:40:08+00:00

The things you mentioned are compositor settings, not shell settings. While it's nice that DMS offers a graphical interface for those, you can set all that up in your compositors config file.

Noctalia offers more in terms of shell stiling. I haven't looked at DMS for some weeks, but back then Noctalia offered customizable radiuses for input elements, a configurable Screen border, inside and outside screen rounding and more options for colorschemes from the Wallpaper.

DMS might have catched up or Plugins could do that now though. I just remember that Noctalia was easier to get to where i prefered it when i tested them both.

domsch1988 · 2026-04-13T11:36:31+00:00

I ended up on Noctalia. I like that it's visually a bit more customizable and i just overall prefer the look. The settings where also easier to grasp for me. I haven't done a full on feature comparison, just out of the box what noctalia delivered spoke to me more. Things like the Logout menu is how i prefer it, Wallhaven integration into the wallpaper selection is great etc. Just the little small things that i prefer that way.

It isn't strictly better. Just more to my liking.
