Haven’t tried the voyager but did try a corne and missed the number row.

I use vim so make heavy use of the symbols. My brain just couldn’t click with the layering I had to do.

I moved onto a lilly58 which I preferred for programming before ultimately building a dactyl.

Think it depends on your primary use case to be fair. I could type general text fine with the corne but missed the extra symbol keys for coding.

Home row mods on whichever one you go for is probably worth a look!

Looks cool!!!

Nice write up, I enjoyed reading this! 15-20 years ago I would have loved nix and dumping hours into configuring every little detail.

I’m at the point now where I just want a distro I can install in 10-20 mins, copy over a couple of dot files, install a few apps, and be up and running.

Same. Though in my case, I over caffeinated this morning.

How do you fix “absolute fuckwaffle”? Asking for a friend.

Yep, started of with the stock OS and distrobox for dev stuff. I had occasional issues with multi monitor setup so ended up just using 1 on its own.

Recently put cachyOS handheld on it instead.

No problems with it so far. For gaming I mainly use it hooked up to either a monitor or TV but handheld works fine too.

Dev wise, I’ve gone down the docker rabbit hole and had no issues so far with it.

Took me a minute… was expecting void in the foreground

It’s beautiful, I’ve looked at this for five minutes now. You’ve won at the internet today, gg

I use mine as my main desktop pc. I’ve put cachyOS on it (handheld edition).

It depends on what software you need to run though. I’m a programmer so Linux for me is great but it might not support all the software you currently use.

I still have my old laptop, again running cachyOS, for sitting on the couch or going portable. I have tried using the deck on its own sitting in a dock with a Bluetooth mouse and KB. It works fine but the screen is very small so I prefer the laptop.

You could maybe try dual booting your laptop with a beginner friendly distro like Ubuntu, fedora, or bazzite (if you want gaming) to dip your toe in the water before fully diving in.

Based on past experience, fairly truthful.

Laundry, drinking, and gaming. In that order with a side of the Monday scaries that fully kick in on a Sunday afternoon.

For sure, and even on my own computers, the amount of times I used one of their Ubuntu isos to fix my broken grub was non zero! 😅

Used to buy these religiously every month about 15 years ago. They used to come with distros on a disc and I had pretty rubbish internet at the time so they were pretty handy for distro hopping.

They also did a really great podcast at that time too!

Glad to see they’re still going!

This is the kind of shitpost I subscribed to see. Thank you.

Ferrari radio has been comedy gold this year, so far.

I regret getting up early for that. Nice to see the top 3 stick together all race long but could have done with something to mix things up a little.

Quite enjoyed it. Like a small moment of meditation during the breaks.

Thanks for putting this together!

Same, the internet has ruined us.

Well, yes… In hidden folders cause I was a l33t h4kz0r in my youth. But that’s just between me and you.
