  • I face some issues with updates on linux breaking things (Arch btw) but it’s usually an hour debugging and then a “hey, someone already made a fix for this as a pull request that you could install now if you compile from git”.

    That’s a hassle, but it’s better than spending an hour debugging, realizing the only real solution is to wait for a hotfix from the powers that be, then several more hours trying to get a workaround, then the five stages of grief ending in admitting defeat and waiting for the hotfix that’ll break something else.

    On Linux, there’s always a way to do what you want to do, with all the risk and reward that comes with that.

    When I uninstalled Windows and switched to Linux (CachyOS (which is Arch BTW)) I also took the time to free myself from VScode to completely escape Microsoft’s fuckery.

    I learned how to use Neovim. I’ve got a configuration that I really like and I took care to make it portable enough that I can just copy over the init.lua file to set everything up on a different computer.

    However this is only earned through weeks of Lua hell. You are effectively building your own editor from almost the ground up. I only recommend Neovim if you want the first medium scale project you work on to be Neovim itself.
