I started playing Enderal, a total conversion of Skyrim. I like the deeper RPG mechanics, which the mod adds, although I'm a bit nervous about choosing something wrong and fucking up my character.

The game is set in a different world than Elder Scrolls. I'm not sure I like it as much, but that might be because of the different music.

Yes, it shouldn't. Unfortunately, the developers of GTK thrived on changes to the API during the GTK3 era. I don't know why Go devs don't (and I am indeed very glad that they don't). Perhaps it's because of the different structures of the development teams or perhaps because GTK has more hazy goals. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The GTK3 port has been in the making for a very long time. Long before anyone even mentioned GTK4. Porting an application to a different GUI toolkit is a lot of work.

How is Nushell? Is it stable?

  1. Keep up the good work. Your project reminds me of small "old school" distros from the noughties and I love the vibe!
  2. I get the aim at "regular" people. I'd wager there's an interest for a somewhat polished tiling experience; perhaps not among regular people, but among the a bit experienced (and a bit lazy) crowd of Linux users, which is definitely numerous.

Anyway, I'm just spitballing. Good luck with your project!

It's basically one click in VS Code. It's more clicks in Sublime. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ Turning Sublime to a full blown IDE for a bunch of different programming languages takes work and I'm lazy.

I have my eye on Regolith. Sadly it seems to be only available on Ubuntu and its derivatives, because they rely on apt.

8 DEs aren't enough for you?

They are, but a man can dream. And thanks for the tip!

It breaks some system keyboard shortcuts

And so does Sublime Text: CTRL+SHIFT+U for inserting Unicode characters doesn't work in it. :(

I recently switched from ST4 to VS Code (Codium actually) because of this and because it's easier to set up a Python debugger.

Cool concept. I really appreciate the "independence" from the project after the installation. It would be cool, if the author preconfigured some less common DE/WM alongside the ones they package now. I yearn for a distro with a preconfigured tiling WM, so I wouldn't have to use my half broken i3wm setup.

I was an avid Minecraft player in my teens. It being cross-platform (basically 100 % compatibility) made my switch to Linux quite painless; if Minecraft did not work, I probably wouldn't install Linux.

This is the library one of the Lemmy summarisation bots uses. It can be used as a CLi utility.
