This. The arch wiki is a treasure trove of information. The more you do, the more you’ll learn.

Also, don’t blindly copy paste configs for editors or window managers. Just slowly build them up based on your own use. It’ll be painful initially but worthwhile in the long run

And I thought I was doing well on that front…

I mean, it’s not wrong…

Did it about 10 years ago. Didn’t really understand half of what I was doing at the time but it was a fun way to spend a weekend 😁

I use the steam deck as my main computer running the stock steam os.

I’m currently using distro box to set up different programming environments. This is possible on steamos, which has the system directories as read only, by installing podman into the home directory. Distro box have a guide for steamos setup.

I run neovim but I would think you could run vs code if you use it. Haven’t tried running a web server on it yet, but again, should be possible. Or, you can get yourself a cheap vps from digital ocean or linode if you really want to learn Linux the hard way!

Just put everything into tables. That’s how we did it when I were a lad

Cool, didn’t know that! I usually use a distro hop as a fresh start to ignore my ever growing “to-read” folder 😂

No, I never bothered as I like to keep my work/personal stuff separate (on different machines)

I never had it disappear right enough… However, I ended up installing chrome after Firefox losing all my stuff twice.

Firefox is a snap package on Ubuntu and I had a similar thing happen where it would lose all my settings when it randomly updated.

You could try installing it as a PPA package: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04

Didn’t bother learning to cook until my mid 20s. You will be a disaster chef before your a master chef but sick with it and always have cereal on standby!

Start out with the basics: if you like pasta, try a basic tomato sauce recipe. If you like eggs, try an omelette with some veg. Figure out what you like and use that to keep you interested and growing your skills.

You will learn as you go on how to prepare/cut up different vegetables. YouTube is a great resource.

The more you do, the more confident you will become. Watching YouTube videos on cooking is no substitute for time in the kitchen cooking though!

You will cremate food, undercook food, over season, under season, ruin pans, smash dishes, have food weld itself into oven trays, laugh, and cry - and you’ll be all the better cook for it.

Good luck!

I like this idea, interested to see how they get on with it

Not enough beans. Needs more beans.

I’ll wait with you in awkward silence.

Using liftoff, seems ok so far. Was getting random crashes with connect, however, connect is pretty comfortable coming from RIF
