i just use vim plugins in the other editors i use.

kate has a vim mode,
vs code has a vim plugin.
intellij has a vim plugin.
obsidian has a vim mode.
a lot of editors have vim modes.

if you have a current non vim markdown editor,
try looking for a vim mode.

if you dont, obsidian is all about markdown,
and vs code has a markdown preview plugin.

i work in IT, so linux at work was an immediate hit for me.
It sounds weird, but doing it stuff on linux just feels kinda natural.

because of work i tried to use it at home (asside from tinkering) but it didn’t work out nearly as well for a long time.
the lack of game support meant i was mostly on windows.

but thanks to minecraft and valves linux version of dota and csgo, it evened out.
and now thanks to proton im almost 99% on linux.

i like linux for its customizability,
its centralized & unintrusive updates,
its advanced features (mdadm, btrfs, powerfull scripting), and because of the controll i have over my system.

i dislike windows because of the design since win8,
the lack of controll( bloatware just appears on my start menu, onedrive, cortana, recall),
intrusive updates (installing updates on shutdown and reboot and “all your files are encrypted exactly where you left them”),
constantly pestering me about getting the latest release,
reseting my configurations on updates,
and the ever changing labyrinth of menus when i need to fix / change something

dayum,
two keyboards with failing keys.
the usb i was planning to use for the ventoy free install died.
kde on my current setup keeps crashing.
constant software issues at work.

did IBM curse me for daring to stray of the path of the hat?

anyway, using a directly flashed stick instead of ventoy resolved my issue.

apparently flashing the stick directly did the trick,
thanks for the help

i used the offline installer images with ventoy ill try again with a stick i directly installed it on

didn’ check that yesterday,
ill try again with an image i checked and without ventoy

i checked my manboards settings after the second attempt and secureboot was already disabled.

afiak the prase “i use arch btw” is mostly sarcasm,
instead of genuine appreciation.

its mocking the stereotype of arch users that constantly bring it up to sound smart or feel supperior.

think of arch like “vintage car culture” with a touch of minimalism.
its restricting and breaks all the time,
but thats kinda the point because fixing it becomes a part of your lifestyle.

hold on,
did it only delete the programms gone too?

open your home folder and set the option to show hidden files.
if there is a .minecraft folder check the saves folder inside that.

is it not in the trashbin?

i have used photorec to resore deleted files on several occasions.
but i dont think there is a filetype for minecraft worlds available

i updated the title

finaly,
one of the verry last things i was missing.

now $(date +“%Y”) will truly be the year of the linux desktop

maybe on some public displays,
but those surely wont update to such a new kernel for a long time

ive seen it a few times on those screens that buses here have, that shows the next stations on the route.

but never on any of my computers

(im refering to those old ‘kernel panic’ messages)

went about as well as the release of the zune

as long as it can run steam, its a win for them.

think of steam machines, steam controllers and steam links before the the deck.

the goal with most (excluding vr) of valves hardware has been to appeal to the console player audience.

it doesnt matter who builds those things at the end, as long as they bring more users Into their ecosystem

i recently dusted of titanquest (diablo clone)
and even kinda got tqvault to run on linux (not very well though)

i also played a lot of streetfighter 6

im also pretty new to fighting games.
but from what i heared, playing arcade mode is verry diffrent from playing against other players.

especially in older games hi level cpus tend to fight dirty,
using input reading and op boss characters.

input reading cpus basicly have inhuman reflexes,
and will counter big comittal attacks like jumpins or tatsu as long as they are free to move.

so throw out non-commital pokes, untill they do something you can counter.

if its the bosses you are struggeling against,
only perseverance will help. (unless you find a move the ai cant deal with)
they are designed to take your quarters.

welcome to the club 😂

did it overwrite your GRUB partition or did it just remove the uefi entry?

iirc the later is pretty easy to fix with efibootmgr if you have a live cd / usb

im staying optimistic, as long as it will be cheaper, the fastfood industry will massivly lobby in favor of it, and imo. mostly balance that out.

it will probably just have an awfull reputation, like mcnuggets “pink sludge”
