Yeah, I used Artix and Arch for a while, but I switched to Void a few months ago and I like it better.

Not having to go through a bunch menus to do stuff, not using the mouse, having --help for commands...

Or just for simplicity. For example, I use simple commands to manage my files: mv, cp, ls, rm, mkdir, etc.

There's also Neovim, my preferred editor, which runs on the terminal.

I prefer to use GUI for visual things, like drawing, since that's what it's best at.

I usually just press F2 to rename things in a GUI

Pretty sure they meant to type "Emacs"

Wayfire - basically Wayland Compiz

Unimatrix - CMatrix-like program

cellular-automaton.nvim - neovim plugin, check out the video in the github page, i don't know how to explain it but it's cool

Appimages do not have repositories, unlike Flatpaks and Snaps. It's harder to install or update them since there isn't a package manager for the Appimages.

I don't know about Snaps, but Flatpaks are sandboxed, which basically means more security, since apps won't get access to your system without permission. It's kind of like Android where apps have to ask for permission to things like camera access, filesystem access, etc.


While I do use Appimages, they remind me of Windows and having to go to websites to download stuff.

Personally, I prefer just installing software with my distro's package manager and resort to Flatpaks or Appimages when it's not available in the repos.

there's also Endeavour which I'm pretty sure uses the Arch repos

I've heard about it due to the Ion shell which I tried out once

(notice: I am not a Rust or C/C++ expert)

Doing all that is creating a completely separate programming language from C. Rust is that programming language.

Fix shitty imports

Rust does that with modules and crates.

Improve syntax rule

You mean having consistent/universal style guidelines? Rust pretty much has that with rustfmt.

Improve memory management

Safe Rust is memory safe (using things like the borrow checker), and Unsafe Rust is (usually?) separated using the unsafe keyword.

Although Unsafe Rust seems to be quite a mess, idk haven't tried it

Other new misc features

Rust has macros, iterators, lambdas, etc. C doesn't have those. C++ probably has those but in a really weird C++ way.

Yes, I'm using swaywm right now and I'm typing this comment on Firefox.

Although most (if not all) tiling window managers are configured with a text editor, not a settings program.

[–] callyral@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

DistroTube argued that the killer feature of tiling window managers is the workspaces, not the tiling

non-tiling window managers can also have different workspaces, or even DEs such as KDE Plasma. IIRC even Windows has those (although with inconvenient keybindings imo)
