- Moonlander keyboard. I was experiencing numbness in a couple of my fingers, and having the keyboard split into two pieces lets me relax my shoulders and just feels much, much more comfortable. Plus the programmable layout means I can make all the stuff I need for coding (curly braces, brackets, oft-used combos like =>) much more accessible.
-48” 4k OLED screen. A single large screen, combined with a tiling window manager, is just so much better than multiple smaller monitors. I typically have my IDE taking up 2/3 of the screen and my browser covering the other 1/3 - but I can easily adjust this depending on my needs. Plus it’s got HDR and a decent refresh rate (120hz) so it’s great for playing games too. It’s technically a tv, not a monitor, but it has a “PC mode” that fixes text rendering and enables vsync.
It’s money. The answer is money. Somebody makes money by producing lead-infused products, so they pay off lawmakers to add a loophole that allows them to continue making money.
I’ve found that copilot is actually pretty good at generating tests, although I’m sure that depends on how the code under test is written. I can usually just write the test description (sometimes a whole describe block) and it fills out the test(s) for me. I usually have to make some adjustments but it sure beats typing it all out by hand.
Same boat. I went the VFIO route: my desktop runs headless Fedora, and I run desktop Linux, windows, and macOS in VMs. I bought an extra GPU so I can run two VMs at a time. 99% of the time I’m on desktop linux, but if I want to play a game I just switch my monitor input and hit my USB switch and I’m good to go. If I want to run ableton, I shut down windows, fire up macOS and bam.
This lets me completely isolate windows and only use it for games. And ableton runs just fine in a vm, so I don’t have to have a separate Mac. Plus it makes it really easy to try out the new Linux flavor of the month!
It was a bit of work to get it figured out but it’s been running smoothly like this for a few years now. I refuse to install windows as a first-class citizen on any computer I own, because as you said, it’s fucking garbage.
