Delta is great. Fortunately you can create a git diff TUI using `fzf` and `git diff` with pretty much a 1 line shell script. For example: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/blob/master/.local/bin&#x2

I use Termux to run SSH on demand, it's quite nice for rsync'ing files between my phone and desktop. The on demand nature of it is a major selling point to me. When I open Termux and run SSH it's up, if I shut down Termux, SS

One thing that I didn't see mentioned is making your own dry run for tools that don't have it built in. It doesn't always work but sometimes I use `diff` to help with that. For example, if you have a complicated `sed` replace

The good news is a few lines of shell scripting, grim, slurp and satty can be combined to create a decent alternative. Hit a hotkey, capture a region, get presented with a way to annotate it and easily copy it to your clipboard or write it

Oh yeah, 4 GB would be really rough on Windows 10. The machine I had before this one had 2 GB of RAM and I ran Windows 7 on it. It had a Core 2 Duo E6420 CPU and GeForce 9800 GTX+. I remember things being mostly ok for playing a bunch of ga

I'm definitely not defending Windows but when I ran Windows 10 Pro for 11 years straight, I had no problem with performance. We're talking a 4 core i5-4460, with 16 GB of memory and an SSD running WSL 2, Docker Desktop, real work

I recently switched to native Linux. I have a dotfiles repo that installs and configures a number of CLI tools, complete with theme switching for a bunch of years that works on Arch / Debian / Ubuntu and macOS, with WSL 2 support

I also switched to Linux last month. It hasn't been a smooth experience with my GPU as I'm encountering memory leaks in popular compositors. I also get 150-200ms keyboard input delay in all games using some compositors but not all
