Nice setup! Couple questions:

• How do you like river vs Sway (if you've used it)? Which layout generator do you use for River?
• You use foot and neovim; I've tried using neovim inside of foot, but because of some odd term incompatibility, shift becomes unregistered in neovim by foot (this is a known issue). Did you face this, and if so, how did you solve it?

Thanks! Again, this looks super cool!

This is a much, much better article. I'm surprised at the NYPost's shoddy quality (though I don't know much about them); the headline especially feels misleading. Thanks for sharing a better source.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, because it has been the most stable and flexible experience I've had that worked out of the box. I have tried a lot of distros over the years, and openSUSE has really held up.

Additionally, I use Nobara for a multi-purpose machine that I also occasionally use for gaming (that's why Nobara instead of openSUSE: it gets me slightly higher %1 lows and is less effort to set up for gaming) and a Void Linux machine for programming. Nobara is pretty good, by far the best gaming oriented distro I've tried, but I do regret that it's Fedora based. Void is really fantastic, but for some reason it only boots on my System76 laptop, so that's the only device I use it on 🤷.

Void is an arch-killer for me; it's faster, has huge repos, and offers a similar experience. I honestly prefer it, and would probably use it on most of my machines if it weren't for the booting issue (it's been a few months since I last tried, so things might have changed though). OpenSUSE is king for low-effort stability and flexibility though.

Well, those are my two cents. Good day y'all!

+1 it was a tun of fun for me and rust is great

I love Nobara, but it regularly breaks between updates (though everything is usually fixed within 3 hours).

$120, Wireless Varmilo. Superb keyboard, except that the super key is waaaay too difficult to reach.

+1 for Quod Libet

I used Fedora, and am now leaving for the exact reason you're leaving Arch (plus IMO bad repos). Switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed a few months ago and am having a much better experience than with Fedora :D; I use the PC for programming, audio recording and mixing, document stuff, etc. (No gaming though).

Nobara is good but does break regularly, FYI... If you're a "power-user" I wouldn't recommend it as a daily driver.

There's also Void Linux, which hasn't ever broken on me due to an update, but is still a lot of work, due to its nature. It's actually quite stable though, and you might enjoy it, since it's quite similar to Arch and has very large repos.

I can't say much about immutable distros, as the only one I've used is bazzite, which was kinda horrible (broke constantly).

Well, I hope that helped. Good luck!

The power cable of my nightmares... Everytime I feel like they want you to brake it, just so you need to buy a new one

In Germany there are Dub Techno concerts, which are kinda like this. But they're usually late at night/early in the morning (more often the latter) and people are usually high on drugs. The music is great though! Check out Basic Channel

I use Extend by Dreymar which includes the alt, shift, and even control keys. This lets me almost exclusively use the homerow for key binds, which is great if you're on a laptop keyboard or similar.

Probably because layering and chording easily let you access the F-keys while not having them take up so much space.
