  • Cool Emacs Things: Evil
    1 project | dev.to | 19 Sep 2021
    Once I learned Vim, Vim proper was my editor for a while. I learned all about plugins and had a small configuration file (now a Nix configuration). After a while though I found Vim itself cumbersome, and realized every other editor had a Vim plugin. So for a while I used IdeaVim, Atom's Vim plugin, and then finally VSCode's Vim plugin.

  • I finally understand the "I use Arch, btw" thing
    1 project | /r/archlinux | 22 Aug 2023
    I've been trying to daily drive Linux for the past 2 months or so. Started out on EndeavourOS and didn't had any problems until I tried to make it useable in secure boot (I really want to play Valorant and not bother each time switching secure boot in bios) and failed miserably due to a combination of lack of knowledge and stupidity. I briefly tried NixOS and while this config is beautiful, I just didn't enjoy the way NixOs is customized.
