Agreed, always amazes me what the open source community can do. It’s also very humbling, I generally like to think of myself as a competent developer but then I see crazy shit like this being done and I’m like damn still got a lot to learn, I wouldn’t even know where to start with reverse engineering a GPU.

How’s the build quality compared to other brands, particularly macbooks? I haven’t found a brand with even remotely the same build quality as a macbook.

Also I don’t think most people understand just how ineffective true vibe coding is. I tried it a few times and could barely get something slightly more complex than a demo todo app working, and even if it was working it was barely prototype level quality of user experience, there is zero chance somebody is deploying vibe coded features into a large, serious production system and not suffering major and immediate consequences because shit just didn’t work at all.

The best you’re going to get out of it is it shortens the amount of time wasted on tiny adjustment to the UI or something.

That sound badass, where do I sign up?

That’s insane. I thought it was already amazing that you can almost see some amoeba with the naked eye.

There’d also probably be luminescence-based racism since different people would shine with a slightly different color.

Are these percentages referring to total biomass or population count?

How’s Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it’s probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?

Eh I’ve seen colleagues that use Vim heavily do their work and they’re like at best 10-20% faster than me when it comes to pure text input/editing, honestly not worth the effort to switch to Vim for me.

Just switch to VSCode or something similar, it has enough features and shortcuts that will quickly make you like at least 80% as productive as you were in Vim. It even has a Vim mode so you can wean yourself off of it more easily.

Honestly never got the appeal of Vim, you need to spend so much time learning and configuring it only to squeeze out a little bit of extra productivity out of it when compared to a “normal” editor/IDE. I don’t see why it’s so important to be able to edit and write code as quickly as possible since most of the time you’re going to be debugging or looking at the code or reading docs.

EDIT: Just noticed you said you don’t code a lot. I think most of what I said still applies, I imagine you don’t spend 99% of the time in the editor typing away.

For what I see as a helpdesk guy, most problems that are encountered origin from Windows being Windows, not tech knowleadge of some person.

Yeah but things just work by default more often on Windows than on Linux. “Linux being Linux” is also the most common cause of Linux problems.

Linux usually does give you the tools to fix problems more easily than Windows but that’s where the tech savviness comes in.

Just bail out, it wasn’t meant to be. I tried a similar thing with family a few times and they always went back to Windows.

Linux is unfortunately not for people that aren’t at least a bit tech savvy. If you insist on them using Linux you’re gonna be on call to fix their shit all the time.

Idk they creep me the fuck out with those legs and also they move way too fast.

Not sure what you mean exactly. The Windows workstation machine could be accessed remotely from anywhere. I mean sure you’re gonna have to hook it up to a monitor to set it up but after that you shouldn’t have to access it directly, at least not often.

I don’t like VMs because I need to allocate memory upfront for it, and considering it’s a Windows VM and depending on the dev work you’re doing on it you might need to give it 10Gb+.

If it’s at all possible for OP I’d recommend getting a separate physical workstation and then just remoting into it with your Linux machine, if you use VSCode the process is pretty much seamless, you use VSCode from your Linux machine normally while all the work is being done on the remote machine.

You literally called one of the trailblazers of the entire field a “new age mystic”. I don’t really plan on taking you seriously anymore, thanks for all the kind words tho, take care.

Now stop being a redditbrained contradictory little shit and read my comment.

No, you wrote it all for nothing.
