You should do a blog write-up on that, many would find it fascinating.

Been a long time since I last tried tmux but was not switching between panes something like Ctrl-B + Ctrl-<something_else>? I don't remember but if it was that it's still much more than Super-Left/Right.

You see what you want to see and I refuse to be dragged into a mud-slinging contest. Please reconsider your tone for the future. Start off better and we can chat.

No, zero mouse usage, you can both address each tab by number and just moving between them. I wouldn't have any terminal emulator without the latter feature at least, and all I've tried support it. I hate mixed mouse + keyboard wo

If you show me 10 in the last month then we can talk on a more objective ground. As it is, you're parroting something that multiple people in this thread said they're not seeing. "Drive-by" comments exist in every thread

Cool, but I'm 100% clueless as to how. Haven't migrated to Linux yet and this one of the next important items for me to learn.

Detaching is working just fine with `screen` as well. I like the idea of tmux but as another poster suggested, I prefer to just get better at my window manager to achieve similar results. tmux requires way too many key presses for me.

I'll wait for the stable release and will retest it. Not in a rush and not the early adopter kind of guy.

Recently tried multiple terminals because I am gradually migrating off of Macs and I liked Ghostty but the lack of searching the scrollback has turned me away from it. Opening another editor to do the same I tried but didn't like. WezT

This is a technical forum. People often flex on what they find better / faster / more productive. I've seen plenty of comments of people giving up on Rust and going for Go or Typescript for their internal company's tooli

I started periodically asking the same question and I get 20-25 upvotes and then eat 15 downvotes some hours later. One recent example (if ~75 days is recent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46291249 ). It is a very wei

Who is comparing to AWS and why? They can both be terrible at the same time, you know.

Thanks. I see much less. I am on Win10 though, are you on Win11? I have come homework to do, it seems. I have no idea why I see like 3x less distros. And huge shame if that comes with Linux 6.12 kernel. I might as well just bump Debian to u

Does it? Just last night ran wsl with `--list --online`. Is there another way to do it that would show Arch?

Maybe you can show me that person and their claims so we can work with them? Because I'm not that person. Sure I said users and not programmers. Sue me. I was criticizing Debian's model. I'll be getting Arch or a derivative o

I don't need 100% of all software. Just a tiny fraction and they're modern tools that are heavily iterated on. Is it possible they have bugs? Very much so! But "stay on an older version to be safe" is not the panacea man

I'm really not sure what made you so rude but I'm not participating. You're intentionally misrepresenting because I didn't say even one thing of those you so criticize, yet have the gall to speak about showing something

No, I mean latest non-RC kernel (currently 6.18). I want to have VMs that are kind of like Arch but a little bit more stable, yet have very latest versions of everything I need with minimal risk (no need for the bleeding edge at all times;

Does it come with the latest Linux kernel?

by pdimitar 8mo ago
You are getting too worked up about this, not to mention cherry-picking. Debian Trixie, to my knowledge, comes with Linux kernel 6.12 LTS. Many people with more modern hardware want the most modern Linux kernel -- currently 6.18 -- to suppo

I agree, it is a huge shame. And the R1811 boards are more or less 300 EUR (~360 USD). Not many companies would agree to spend $360 on a near-future e-waste, per device , just to be able to extract the high-quality display. True shame. But

Actually you are correct. I've been following the HN threads about Tahoe and even watched a few YouTube videos and could only facepalm. But then again I'll get rid of the iMac Pro this year. I'll have technicians butcher it a

True, nobody is stopping anyone and that's why I am gradually moving my stuff from bash/zsh to Golang and might even further migrate it to Rust in the near future -- LLMs make these things almost trivial and my only hurdle was how

So they just got there first? Not an impressive feat then. We all had to make do with shoddy stuff just to get a project done (and I am not talking only in programming but also in meat-space). But to then hold on to it with a death grip, ye

Well, my iMac Pro is not getting Tahoe. That's an Intel Mac. No idea why they figured that's their line in the sand.

You would be correct but your "eventually will level out the playing field" is doing some super heavy lifting. This "eventually" might be 50 years from now and somebody's business might be under existential threat d

I am with you and fully agree with your "it does not have to be an all or nothing" stance. A remark on one part of your comment: > What are you adding to the mix here? Your prompting skills? The answer to that is an unironic
