dotfiles VS boxkit

Oh you'd still use a Git repository (e.g. like I do here), stow just takes care of creating the necessary symbolic links (and skipping those that already exist).

I experimented a bit with running rust-analyzer under Bubblewrap when using it through NeoVim's LSP integration (see here). Overall it's doable, but it's a tedious process of finding out what needs to write and where, what capabilities you need, etc. I don't see this seeing adoption unless it becomes a first-class feature of the tool in question.

You can also use Bubblewrap, but getting it up and running requires a lot more fiddling around. For example, this is what I use to isolate Zoom from the rest of my system: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/blob/0a0492c78b6...

In my case I'm using Bubblewrap because Firejail was only used for Zoom, and this felt a bit of a waste considering Bubblewrap was already installed.

This is implemented using some custom Lua code.

There's no first-class API for this. I use this setup. This is OK, though I only have two abbreviations, and it does feel a bit overkill for just that.

I've been using neovim-remote for quite some time, and it works perfectly fine. Here is what I use to open NeoVim as usual outside of an existing NeoVim session, and inside the existing session whenever I run nvim from NeoVim's terminal emulator.

You can use this code I wrote for that. You then hook it up like this.

Adjust the icons LSP uses for various symbol types like this. If you leave this out, you need to adjust these lines to use the correct text/icons instead.

The documentation is there, but it's a bit lacking/confusing here and there. It's also mostly foundational work, and you still need to cobble things together (either manually or using a plugin).

With that said, you can build things quite nicely with it. For example, I have a custom linter setup, custom loclist/quickfix list formatting and populating from LSP data, and a bunch of other things; all using the foundational work coming in NeoVim 0.5.

If anybody is curious, you can find my NeoVim configuration here: https://gitlab.com/yorickpeterse/dotfiles/-/tree/master/dotf...

p.s. In case anybody wonders "why Lua?", for me this mostly comes down to this: I hate Lua, but I hate Vimscript even more.

Using the Bazzite image has replaced Windows for me. Basically everything works.

There are a slew of images built on Fedora Silverblue and a lot of them are very interesting. The ability to rebase in and out of base images safely and atomically is really powerful and liberating. If you haven’t tried an “immutable” distribution, I would highly recommend it. It really does feel like the most logical way to run Linux with zero fuss and maximum flexibility and safety,

There isn't something completely like that, but Fedora Silverblue comes really close (and [Universal Blue](https://universal-blue.org/) pushes it slightly closer)

Once installed run the Universal Blue rebase script to make the Kinoiite OS more user friendly. (https://universal-blue.org/)

I'm thinking about Silverblue and Kenoite. Especially, I'm looking at the Universal Blue project. UBlue, because creating your ISO is dead simple because it starts from an OCI image declaration (docker compose).

I'm on a https://universal-blue.org/ -based "custom image" of Fedora Silverblue and I love it. In my image, I ship some essentials software and other things that are just easy to have in there like fonts, plus a script for installing gnome extensions. Then I have a Nix home-manager -based shell configuration containing some common developer tools as well. The bulk of the (GUI) software I use comes as Flatpaks, and my development environment is a distrobox arch container.

I've set all updates to be automatic and almost never have to worry about them. I am on the :latest tag and my computer updates between major versions automatically, and I haven't had any breakage yet. I feel pretty confident in the stability of my system and feel like were the disk to corrupt, I could get back up and running with the exact same setup very quickly.

Hi! I worked on this with some friends over the past two years or so (we had to work on the generic tooling first: https://universal-blue.org/)

I'm happy to answer questions you might have! Thanks for checking it out! (I'll be at KubeCon Chicago with stickers if you want the live demo on a Framework 13)

This is actually run my computer, with a fedora-silverblue based image but my CLI is running alpine images.

So I made a little kit so anyone can do this on any linux so you can try all the cool stuff in there without the downsides of running a less popular configuration on the bare metal.

And since it's Alpine it's always a fast download vs. a heavier container.
