I'd like to see more opinionated distros. I don't know if #omakub is what I want, but I love that someone put their values on the table and said "this is a good user experience". We could really use 5 takes on the "Apple of Linux" or the "iPod of Linux". Not even Apple is Apple anymore - poor UX dominates the industry.

A lot of distros, especially the B-tiers and also-rans, feel like the view from nowhere. They exist for a reason, but either the reason is unclear, or they lack the resources to polish it to what it should be.

I suddenly seem to have come across posts about hyprland / omakub / omarchy etc.

Now I feel like I'm missing out (I use xfce).

#XFCE #omarchy #Hyprland #omakub

Whether people like #DHH, #Arch or #Hyprland is immaterial, there is no denying that #Omarchy & #Omakub are very good for #Linux in the development userspace.

The corporate userspace is still a whole different set of problems. #YearOfDevelopmentLinux

@eric has written a rather good how to #neovim with #phpstorm article. I made the decision to move to #linux. I’ve been experimenting with DHH’s #omakub, while waiting for pop-os cosmic, omakub includes LazyVim ‘out of the box’ & I’ve been playing with it and today I’m going to config that instance of PHPStorm per Eric’s article. Incidentally, I’ve fallen in love with LazyGit & LazyDocker, TUI’s can rock! & old dogs can learn new tricks 😂

If you like DHH’s Omakase developer setup #Omakub for #Ubuntu and you’re into #nix and #nixos or want to try it out, check out #Omakix a port of the project I made using Nix and NixOS. It even has an installer ISO you can use in a VM or on bare metal.

Nice Ubuntu setup for developers

I am playing with it and enjoying it a lot!

#Omakub videos will do more to sway developers towards #Linux than many of the "deeper" technical reasons. The popularity of TextMate for Ruby on Rails development back in the day (again thanks to these kind of videos by DHH) was a big factor in the mass #MacOS adoption by the dev community.

And it's not shallow to prioritize eye candy and ease of configuration. I personally don't enjoy having to configure things that should really have smarter defaults. It's like writing code with lots of boilerplate.

Which is why I find #LazyVim absolutely wonderful. My "vim config" is now a handful of lines. I use #Zellij occasionally and I like it as well. I am finding it harder to get rid of my custom #Tmux and #Tmuxp configs, but I am sure it will happen at some point. Have I mentioned yet that I hate configuring things for the sake of configuring things?

For #Zsh I use #Power10k which has a quick and fast automatic setup.

My distro of choice is #KDENeon because I get all the latest #KDE eye candy without having to fiddle with anything. I use the #Polonium tiling script for KWin because it gives me a nice tiling wm experience without configuration.

Finally I use a #Thinkpad that's on the #Ubuntu hardware compatibility list. It was great value for money, and everything worked out of the box with Linux. Installing drivers manually is also configuration, but worse because it's a series of steps instead of a declarative config file.
