    Thanks for the suggestion! I’m now using Kanata which is inspired by Kmonad and it’s working well so far. Despite the cool things that come with external keyboards split or not, I don’t want to be uncomfortable with my built in keyboard when my laptop is on my legs or I just don’t have access to a table in general

    Thanks for the comment. Neither, I’ve been typing with 10 fingers for 3 years, and my fingers are normal. I just want to access my number row without having to move my hands as much. It’s a hyper optimization I know but I would move closer to typing and editing with the speed of thought if I do it












  • I love being in control, I use neovim for this reason. But I remember when I bought my laptop I originally wanted to use awesomewm again as I was on my family PC but I remember spending so much time on basic features like brigness control and such that I moved to KDE insteadd which had these features out of the box. Am I missing something here? Or do people who use window managers actually implement every feature they need from scratch? No offense to anyone or any project, they are all awesome


  • I use arch but I don’t take pride in it like a loser. What makes arch even slightly “superior” tho? The installation? Pfft despite having installed arch many times in the past 4 years I still have to pull up a video tutorial because I usually forget steps. Want to truly feel superior? Go make a big contribution to open source or use LFS as daily driver

    I have both VLC and MPV and VLC used to take 0.5 second to seek forward while MPV being completely seamless. But I just tested again today and VLC has become seamless too with very minor differences. idk what changed

    Edit: to answer your question I can’t say much other than preferences. I like MPV because it’s minimal, but VLC is good too
