Pydantic offers awesome runtime validation (using Rust).

GNOME. Love the simplicity!

Always ran xfce on my old used thinkpads!

I’ve been mostly a poetry guy but have tested out uv a bit lately. Two main advantages I see are being able to install Python (I relied on pyenv before) and it’s waaay faster at solving/installing dependencies.

In VS code these should work through the Remote-Containers flow, just like they do through Remote-SSH.

I have to use macOS at work and I sorely miss the efficiency and simplicity of gnome.

I’ve spent a lot of time configuring and tweaking various DEs in the last 20 years, but somehow gnome shell nailed it for me.

Happy to have many options as a Linux user!

It’s very minimalist and the project ditched the Windows-style approach some years ago. Personally, I’ve grown to love it and other DEs feel bloated now.

To each their own 🤷‍♂️

Hmm, I just re-read the blog post and GitHub where I thought I read that and I think I was mistaken…

Poetry support is on their roadmap!

I was gonna say, I don’t like to victim blame but why would people be grubbing around these days to begin with?

My company only requires that I run their AV agent (bit defender).

Microsoft Teams is even flakier than on Windows (yes, it’s possible…)

I was in those masses. They sent me a free CD in the mail when I was a teenager!

Sometimes I use Drawing for adding some annotations but I mostly just paste directly from the screenshot tool.

In terms of editing, I work more with SVG where I use a very simple editor BoxySVG.

Yea, none of those things matter to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had plenty of fun customizing DEs but I don’t really need that on my daily driver. I also have more of a terminal based workflow so perhaps shell customization scratches that itch for me.

To each their own :)

One man’s “basic” things are another man’s clutter …

That’s nice, I think I’ll switch from Firefox ESR on Debian!

You could package it and install with pipx

Crunchbang (#!) linux breathed live into some very wimpy hardware I’ve had in the past.

Loved the minimalism.

Desktop: Macintosh (<X) -> Windows (XP-10) w/occasional Ubuntu dual-boot (various DEs) -> Debian + Gnome

Server: Ubuntu LTS -> Debian

I’ve also had a number of used thinkpads over the years where I mostly ran Xubuntu and crunchbang.

I still boot into Windows every month or so if I need to model something in Rhino (CAD). Couldn’t get it working in Wine and my 12 YO computer isn’t performant enough to run it in a VM. The last thread remaining and waiting to be cut…

I plan to pay for Immich
