this channel has great tutorials. they’re up-to-date, too.

I have a thick as a brick vinyl from 1972 and it’s still in a great condition :) i know it’s not suitable for 8-channel recordings or anything, but maybe we should’ve invested in that type of research.

this is great.

Are you planning to compile the programs on the thin client? Although rust runs efficiently on a lot of hardware, compiling is gut-wrenching.

I have an rPi 1B running as a lightweight server and both rust and c++ applications take hours to compile (some of them take over a DAY). so, interpreted languages might be what you’re looking for. my favorite is python. most distros have a lot of native packages in their repos. albeit a little weird to work on, perl is great, too.

you can start out with wayfire, as it has basic a panel included.

is it woodwork? then there’s a decent workbench https://github.com/dprojects/Woodworking

check out other workbenches, too https://wiki.freecad.org/External_workbenches

i think gnome and kde both have graphical interfaces for this. i like doing config files.

she was just happy for me.

i’m not trying to convert her, it’s just that i’m comfortable in doing this, it feels natural to me.

because this video is a beginners guide and ventoy is irrelevant for that topic, yet here you are still talking about it.

wow, really wow.

i saw veronica talk about ventoy weirdos on mastodon, and here you are.

this sucks for some linux users. in some de’s and wm’s alt+left click is a shortcut for moving windows. notepad++ has the same bindings, too. it’s a little annoying.

R. because it’s really easy to work on spreadsheets. i know there’s pandas for python but at that time RStudio made it look really attractive. i will do anything not to work on excel.

yes, thank you

lemmy client? it would be amazing just to have a tui.

i’ve had a t420 for years and it’s still going strong

if you’re looking for an original distro, you should try void. it’s super lightweight. i used to keep away from gentoo because it was a source only distro, i would otherwise go fulltime on it, but now that it also has binary compatibility you should check that out, too.

as for wm, i love wayfire as a floating wm, and sway as a tiling wm.

which was made possible thanks to public funding.

zathura is amazingly lightweight and does the job right. i even use that on my phone (which is not that powerful).
