In genuine amazement at a lot of the comments here - why not just dual boot Linux instead of using it in a VM? Productivity on a Linux machine can be so far ahead of Windows, especially if you've got a terminal-based workflow an maybe

This has to be one of the most inaccurate memes of all time. To counter with anecdata: I've been running Arch Linux testing repositories for over a year now with no issues whatsoever.

The class-based examples given are a bit disingenuous. Not only the author is not using anything like redux, the class examples look deliberately made longer than they should be. For example, one of them has 4 setState() calls after each ot

Counterpoint to #3: the <>s and ;s and {}s were very much appreciated during learning because of familiarity - basically same as typescript minus the turbofish.

Firefox also has bad input lag compared to chrome, everywhere from the address bar to basic textareas. I've filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1408699 quite a while ago with some measurements. Sadly, no

Linux is a third-class citizen for Firefox and its very obvious. Not only is the rendering performance and responsiveness subpar compared to Chromium, but even very basic things like XDG spec support have still not been implemented after si

Yeah, there's no hiding that, the fact that it's a find & replace CLI is declared upfront. Although personally, I've only really used sed for find & replace so sd solved my gripes with sed perfectly.

Shameless plug - I also wrote https://github.com/chmln/sd to replace my use of sed.

One major showstopper I have with this utility is that it doesn't obey my terminal color scheme and instead hardcodes some colors that probably just look good on author's terminal. [1] Would love to see this resolved, cause it see

With nvidia, you must absolutely make sure you are using the proprietary drivers if you want a good experience. Some distros (like Pop OS) use these out of the box, but most (like Debian) use open-source nouveau.

What specific issues did you have with the GUI? Not sure if you know but there are a number of other polished DEs apart from Gnome. Sounds like your graphics card doesn't work well with Linux. Is it Nvidia ?

How did you test the fps? I'm using the intel driver as well, and it's definitely not perfect. But it's pretty close, at least for me - I get hardware-accelerated video decoding with VAAPI, no tearing, and excellent input lat

I use a tiling wm (i3), so I can't exactly drag windows around, but I can drag-and-resize them. In my case, there is no lag. However, there is a tiny amount of stuttering since I don't use a compositor, but I can live with that.

These claims are blown out of proportion and/or simply untrue. Screen tearing: both Intel and AMD have hardware-backed "TearFree" buffering to prevent tearing. Bad performance: citation required - in my experience, Xorg is wa

You can and should have a separate, optimal configuration for each monitor. This is pretty easy with xrandr, and it's DE-agnostic

by chmln 7y ago
I would strongly advise not to rely on your DE and use xrandr instead, either via CLI or the graphical arandr tool. xrandr can scale to whatever you want.

With LitElement you are still encoding markup in strings and only the interpolated expressions are typechecked [1]. Not to mention that LitElement is far more clunkier and tedious. [1] https://lit-element.polymer-project.org&#x2F
