I was looking for a mouse recently. My priorities were:

• Comfortable (i.e. vertical; after getting used to it I’m not looking back)
• Standard format replaceable battery, since built-ins always end up depleting or swelling and being hard to replace
• Nice scroll wheel (highly subjective though)
• Easy switching between Linux and Windows systems
• Small-ish, portable

I got the Logitech Lift. I am pleasantly surprised by how nice it is.

Granted I mostly use my mouse for browsing, scrolling and navigating UIs. The rest is all keyboard. For games I prefer controllers and game pads so precision/high performance wasn’t an issue for me at all.

Over about a decade: Win7 -> Mint -> Manjaro -> Mint -> Endeavour

Eyeing Nix atm, looks cute, might hop later

You mean Audacious, right?

zOMG!!

emacs-everywhere with a nicely crafted flyspell config? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Some commenter asked why they were using Brave. I saved it to check out the answer later, because I was curious, but now I’ll never know :(

Yes. But on the other hand, so is meth.

It’s the right side up tho :p

In Eternity, you just go to Settings -> Post Filter.

In Thunar it’s just right-click and “Open as root”

I really like Thunar

I switched to Linux when the “We’ve scheduled your free update to Windows 10!”-like popup started appearing again and again on my Win7 machine even though I disabled it. I didn’t like not having a choice and they only got worse from there. Meanwhile, you have full control over every part of a Linux system. You can even uninstall the update manager if you feel like it.

More like “My computer came with malware and I’m starting to realise that’s what it is” in most cases.

Well it’s really noob friendly. The introductory courses in programming all tell you to use it and it takes some time and experience to find alternative editors that 1. you like better, and 2. won’t confuse you more than the course itself does.

I used to use VSCodium and the Vim extension. Then I downloaded Neovim and started configuring it, but I was never really satisfied with the config. Then I found Doom Emacs. It was pretty much the thing I tried turning Neovim into.

But I wouldn’t recommend Doom Emacs to a first-year student that is still learning the fundamentals.
