chsh does not modify /bin/sh

Maybe you’re thinking of a certain video from a certain YouTuber who linked /bin/sh to fish?

That’s… all stow does, there’s nothing more to it. If you need some other feature don’t waste your time trying to make it work with stow, It’s just a meme in my opinion.

About the “package manager” functionality, stow was originally supposed to be a development tool for the Perl programming language, you download a bunch of libraries into a directory, then use stow to merge those files into the root of your project (like a caveman), as it turned out some people started using it to manage dotfiles, and here we are.

When I started trying to organize my dotfiles, I started with stow, but quickly found it very limited.

After that I found dotdrop, which is considerably more involved, but gives you total control. My config with dotdrop quickly started growing insanely huge, at some point I even had system-wide systemd services declared.

Then I found out I was basically reinventing nixos and home-manager, so I switched to that.

Does this happen on wayland, X11 or both?

Long-ish time Kakoune user here.

For those who have tried Kakoune, once you’ve included things like Treesitter and the clangd language server, which one feels faster, Kakoune or Neovim?

I never felt the need to install something like Treesitter because I feel selection-based editing is already powerful enough, if that gives you an idea of how much faster I am with Kakoune compared to Neovim. Maybe I just don’t know everything Treesitter can do 🤔

which apparently allows you to have one master Kakoune instance and multiple slave instances that would be in sync

It’s not a master/slave setup, it really is client/server, even the first instance of kakoune that you open will be a client that you can close without the other instances going down with it.

I’m not sure if Kakoune shares the clipboard with all of those instances?

Yup, all shared: registers, buffers, marks, hooks. (You can choose not to share stuff between clients)
