I have to use a windows computer for about 1 day a week for work currently. It always amazes me how fucking slow and laggy it is compared to my arch setup (which isn’t riced/dialed basically at all). System update? Have fun waiting for 30 minutes with random restarts. Want to check your files? Forget about the onedrive nonsense, fucking file explorer takes my work laptop a full minute to open and be usable. It’s really something.
With the advent of endeavor and cachy, I would argue there’s zero point to using Manjaro. If you like the arch style and figure on reading updates to ensure things don’t break, might as well be on a distro that’s just arch nicely preconfigured with a nice installer.
Manjaro adds another later of complexity to that by holding some updates back for reasons, that as far as I’ve seen doesn’t really do much in the way of helping stability.
At first I wondered why, but after reading I think it’s a fair change. I’m not sure how I feel about nura, but it’s definitely fine.
I’m exactly the opposite. If socks aren’t on, I can’t focus on anything except all the non-sock textures touching my feet
English is my primary, so that does make it easier. I use it for general conversion things, like asking it questions about the Titanic or making up a new story or something. It doesn’t work as well as I’d like yet, but like I said, it’s just an other thing for me to mess around with and change.
I do, I use ollama. I mostly just tinker, but I use with with home assistant for a quasi Alexa like experience with the voice assistant, I use it for summarizing some YouTube transcripts in too lazy to read/watch, and I’ve tried to see how capable it is with coding.
Why is that?
Yeah that’s fair, but at the same time, nothing has to go upstream as far as I know. As long as they have their own little sandbox to enshittify, I don’t care if I can get Linux support for my windows only programs
Not particularly, but if their big OS was Linux based, people could get their corporate support, and most of the software keeping people locked into windows would theoretically be able to run on any Linux distro. That’s the dream. I want to run solid works on Linux natively
Imagine a world where they discontinue windows and just focus on azure Linux. I’ll keep dreaming
Just like the g* rmans, the d* nish, Ir*sh, *nd the ch *nese. Fuck unnecessary censoring.
I wish it were that easy. I’m probably north of 10x faster designing in Solidworks compared to freecad, ignoring drawings. Obviously that will chance in time and practice, but right now I can’t really do something that people expect to be billed ~50 hours of design and it takes 250, that ends things pretty quickly. There also isn’t a lot of down time on the job to tinker and learn, so that’s done on my free time. And I’m in the position to choose what we use to design, not everyone is.
Thanks, dearrow, not arrow block. I’ve had it installed and haven’t looked at it in ages
I’ve used arrow block for so long, I’ve forgotten that these stupid thumbnails exist. I hate them so much
Yeah I think them adding a cloud sync as a paid option is entirely fair, but not something I want.
Thanks again for sharing the project!
This looks solid. I’ve been using SuperProductivity for a while, but the json syncthing uses to sync between my computer and phone keeps breaking. Your project looks like it has a very similar interface, which I like. I’m looking forward to giving this a shot.
Edit: any chance for a mobile app on f-droid down the road?
In the past I used CAD 95% of the time in the form of Solidworks, so I had to use windows. The other 5% of the time I used excel, so i probably could have dual booted, but I never bothered. Fortunately (kinda) my current job uses it a lot less, so I main Linux and for small prototypes I use FreeCAD on Linux and dual boot windows for the bigger projects that demand the speed in Solidworks
That’s a fair point, I didn’t see what supports it or not. I guess I like the idea of it more than anything. I guess I have more research to do!
Yeah windows 10 was fine for me, and I really liked 7 and XP generally speaking. It really feels like 11 is constant obstacles and harassment from Microsoft. Maybe that’s because I’m more of a “power user” but I can’t imagine a normal person enjoying the experience
