I didn't know this. Would it be possible to run multiple projects as 42yeah said above, with kdevelop too?

It's what I know and love, just Debian, bspwm and startx. Servers and desktop both. I feel somewhat grumpy that I can't run xorg on remote servers, but I made my peace.

Apart from my current complete move to Linux, I'm contemplating setting up a prettier Debian for my folks.

QOwnNotes is a fast loading, Qt based, plaintext editor that supports markdown and preview, plenty of helpful plugins, heavily customizable, has nextcloud support, supports workspaces in the form of note folders.

No affiliation but a happy user and also sponsor it.

Aww, too bad

I see a comment inbox but can't see here. I'm pasting it here

I switched to the fork as soon as I read this news. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes:
Just install it in parallel with the mainline app,
export your existing configuration to the default storage location, import it in syncthing-fork (it'll detect the export file automatically),
and you're done. Uninstall the official app so they don't compete for the daemon and port.

I was not even aware of this fork let alone a long timeline of existence. I am adding this onto my weekend project list. Thanks for the recommendation.

Cool, I will spend time on it. From what I see, v24 is when gitea and forgejo went their own routes.

on Forgejo v9.0 released · c/linux · 21 pts · 1y

Has anyone have personal experience moving off of gitea and using forgejo

I'd love to do this but it's hard to find any written experiences yet.

;Edit: I will probably just try it

Thank you for the awesome comment.

As mentioned a few times here, its between Kate and Sublime although it looks like it will be Sublime unless Zed becomes good soon.

I did not renew my office license since a year for this exact reason. Though it is good, I could not justify it anymore. I am slow-exploring Calc.

I am done with Visual Studio faster and before other lesser dealbreakers. I will get to use it in any work environments anyway. Personal and OSS Dev will be done on a Jetbrains Rider.

Wrt One drive, I am keeping it as an eventual piece of puzzle for a nice backup strategy along side others like Borg etc. I will explore Nextcloud once again.

Thanks for sharing. Agree, In had a few of these separate running, dual booting episodes and moved only now completely due to the right mental space and bandwidth.

I proclaimed multiple times in my life that Linux will always have less than 5% desktop users and that is perfectly fine. Forget normal people, even the most tech savvy users could never make the move.

For those of us who do, after the navigating the technical challenges, elitism, and hostility, it is indeed a lovely journey. I know everything will not be smooth and there will days of halted usage due to some breakages. The system if setup in a sensible way just like a server, it could reduce this friction to some extent.

Python professionally (may be Go too)

Go, C++, Erlang for personal and OSS projects.

Glad to know your experience. Once I have the stable resilient setup I will definitely explore flatpaks. Thank you again!

on My move to Linux · c/linux · 1 pts · 1y

Absolutely yes, I definitely have my eye on becoming a polyglot dev in the next 5 years. So it is quite the journey, but I am in it for the long run. Switching to Linux was also the easiest way to do this as I realized.

Whoa, thank you for the elaboration. As I said in another comment, I was vim user for a short time but it may take a long time to use it again. I don't rule out vim from my OSS life. Who knows what will transpire :)
