I’m very pleased to discover this. I’ve been using this online editor for a while—good to have a local alternative.

This is absolutely nuts—even macOS doesn’t have a single program that does all of this.

Cool to see COSMIC in the wild!

Also, tell us about your experience with Mullvad—seems to me like it’s 90% similar to Librewolf.

Chezmoi looks interesting. I’ve just been using xstow.

The people I know in my program (undergrad History) use their computers for little more than Google Chrome (specifically Google’s Office suite), a PDF reader (sometimes also Google Chrome), sometimes Zotero, and sometimes MS Word. We get a lot of Mac’s around here, so one can imagine Microsoft products are not highly relied upon, generally speaking.

Everything’s through the browser nowadays, so I’d say just pick a stable distro, install 2 or three browsers in case something doesn’t work (like Google Docs with Firefox in my experience…), and submit everything as PDF.

Can’t speak much to LibreOffice as I write my papers in Typst (and before that in LaTeX, which got me brownie points with some of the older professors), which I find much faster, easier, and more flexible than WYSIWYG word processors.

Love fuzzel! Glad to see some much anticipated features!

I tried imv and hated it. I just use feh (through XWayland) or mpv now.

Very cool. yabai is a great project that makes macOS actuallly usable.

I think it’s possible to remap Helix to be almost (if not completely) Vim-like. I got it to be (I think completely) Kakoune-like with like 15 lines in my config.

Grass. He’s outside. He’s escaped the computer.

Good question, I don’t know! I haven’t touched a Chromebook since at least 2020…

If I were to do it now, I’d probably still use crouton, but get it to download something other than Ubuntu 16.04, or I’d just dual boot.
