    I love this meme but I always wonder what they’re doing with Linux, like if I had an old thinkpad I think I’d only be as creative as to play movies in VLC 😔

      Polishing dotfiles for the color schemes and vimrc. Version controlling those dotfiles. Using neovim to edit the dotfiles configuring neovim. Scripting the tiling wm to open neovim in a way that fits editing the neovim config. Configuring ansible to be able to deploy the neovim dotfiles quickly from codeberg after reinstalling arch because it’s the weekend and the kernel had some bloat parts so the whole system felt wrong.

      With mine, I’m working on a few things:

      • Getting better at CLI, specifically tmux and helix. I’m ok at it now, but could use the practice.
      • Learning Rust. It’s nice to not have distractions when I want to focus.
      • Experimenting with some alternative OSs. I’m extremely conservative with my main machine, but I don’t really care about these laptops.
      • Enjoying simplicity.
