I didn’t think of that - also for nvim you typically pull plugins from git repositories

Not sure what you want to show with that screenshot. It tells you that 700 MB of your installed RAM is reserved for your integrated GPU which doesn’t really have to do anything with Windows.

They’re both code/text editors, or what would you call VSCode instead? An IDE? you can make an IDE out of nvim if you want.

Yes, there is a vim mode in VSCode, but in some cases it can be very slow (like editing a few thousand columns at once), and is not as tightly integrated.

Most nvim users I know have their setup very much customized. That takes time, effort and is a pita. But afterwards you have a tool that just works like you want it to work, and is super fast (at least compared to VSCode).

you can change that if it bothers you

Get a 2 TB SSD (the one you chose is fine)

TeXStudio if you want something that is easy to set up. VSCode + LaTeX Workshop if you need features from VSCode (other extensions, git integration,…).

Note that you still have to bring your own LaTeX installation (I always use TeXLive, but there are other options)

For literature I’ve found Zotero + BetterBibTeX plugin very nice, otherwise JabRef also exists but is much more “raw”.

Reference management is one thing LaTeX is really good at. Especially if you use it with a literature management system such as Zotero.

VSCode + LaTeX Workshop Extension is what I use today, but I would recommend TeXStudio as editor if you don’t need any specific features from VSCode.

Sure you can do that, but it’s more work for both parties assuming the message hasn’t been read. I’m just saying that both Signal and WhatsApp have had this feature for quite some time now and it has come in handy for me a few times already.

That’s certainly an issue, but for me it was already quite useful for deleting unread obsolete messages (e.g. deleting “can you bring milk” after you realized that there still is some), or messages accidentally sent to the wrong person. I think limiting to a short time frame and/or only unread messages would solve most of the possible abuse.

the obsidian-git plugin. Auto commits and pulls/push every x minutes. Works great for me, I get full version control and works on all my platforms (Linux, Windows, Android). You just need to be careful with your .gitignore and add at least .obsidian/workspace.json to prevent conflicts.

Probably not suitable if you store larger files, but after a year of daily usage with tons of small images I’m still below 150 MB.

Well not if you’re on Ubuntu and need the latest version of e.g. npm for some nvim plugin, because that version is not in the repository.

somepackage requires otherpackage version >10.1.79

otherpackage is already at latest version

Have fun compiling it yourself and messing up what is managed by the package manager and what’s not. And don’t forget that the update might break some other package along the way

to double as security camera I guess

Yep, the other comment is even more ChatGPT-ish. And the account was created today. Guess that’s a bot.

Take that as you will, but you sound like ChatGPT.

well, I managed to upgrade from 16.04 to 22.04 without any major issues

neovim?

Yeah conda is slow af, but you can change the env solver which makes things much faster and there’s also mamba/miniconda which I haven’t tried but is supposedly much faster

no!
