Something to make you feel even older: yeet isn't really considered "new" anymore ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Visual Studio and VS Code are two separate products, I'm afraid. Visual Studio is a .NET IDE and build tool, as opposed to VS Code which is essentially an extensible text editor.

Edit: also the screenshot looks like it might be from Slack?

You know? Doesn't look like it's quite there, but it's the closest I've seen by far, I'll have a good look I think! Thanks for that!

Edit: Tempo has Podcasts, Symfonium does not. Time will tell, but that may be the feature that pushes me over the edge.

Symfonium. There are plenty of music apps, and I've used a lot of them, but none combine the UX and functionality that Symfonium offers to anywhere near the same quality :/

There was almost one but then Xitter nuked their public API which makes it almost impossible, from memory. They knew this would happen, and they did everything they could to stop it.

When you think about it, where else would you get The Blade of The Lich King, but a raid?

Congrats on expressing that in the most passive-agressive and gatekeepery way you could've. I've been using Linux for the better part of a decade now, and know my way around the usr dir - however things work a bit different on NixOS, whose package manager doesn't involve installation steps beyond adding the word "helix" to my packages list. I'm not great at reading though, so I absolutely would've missed something as obvious as the Installation page ๐Ÿ˜… As for your beliefs about postmodern Vim clones, what's the point (and fun) in the freedom of choice Linux offers if I can't install and try out the latest fun spin on an old fave from time to time?

Ooh, I'll keep that in mind for next time, thanks!

Helix Editor did this to me. They have so much documentation on their site about how to use the editor, how to extend it, theme it, etc., etc. What they didn't seem to document, though, is that the binary is named hx, not helix :/

Not to be all "it works on my machine" but like,, it does. I've never seen or heard of any of these issues on a framework on Linux - using Plasma in NixOS in my case, and frequently using Picard, Spotify, and Firefox. Given they have official support for both Ubuntu and Fedora (Big Gnome moment), and have done in-house testing on both distros, as well as having Arch(?) and NixOS users on the engineering team, I think you might be looking at a problem in your own config rather than something innate to Framework?

Was ready to downvote but this is actually a really good guide, well done OP! The one issue I will raise, though, because I faced it myself, is that as long as you're still using Windows, it is way too easy to just go back to using the Windows programs not the open source ones. Only through switching to Linux can you really "throw yourself into the deep end" and force yourself to learn these new things. Microsoft has made themselves the "path of least resistance" (or at least that of "most momentum" for a reason) and if you've been using a computer for a while, it's a lot easier to break the habits and realise the benefits by giving yourself no other option than it is by trying to discipline yourself into using the new options.
