Currently it just sounds like an alternative to work trees, but with no explanation on how it’s better. Seems early stages, use of btrfs is cool, but unsure why I’d use this right now
Strongly disagree with this post. And I am not a DHH fan.
The biggest problem with Linux as a desktop gaining more popularity is the learning curve. In our bubble, you might not want any software installed and want your first install to barely have a desktop environment, but the average Joe wants their browser, music player and password manager ready to go. If omarchy is nothing but a gateway drug to making leaving windows much easier then I am all for it, even if we bikeshed about whether or not it’s a distributed (I agree it’s not). Once you have it installed you can customise just as much as you would any other “distribution”, it just makes that first step that bit easier. Linux, if it wants to win the war, needs to make it easier for new folks to onboard. The winning desktop distributions (omarchy, cachyos etc) make onboarding easy.
very nice, lovely tui. Does it support viewing the diff of unstaged files? I tend to do a lot of commit amending locally so would be nice if I could see the status of these before I amend the commit
This doesn’t sound like a “you might not need tmux” argument. It more just argues than tmux is a pita on the terminal ecosystem which I’m sure is true. But the workarounds described are just reimplementing tmux features by taping together a bunch of tools. A better argument I think is - a lot of people do need tmux, so perhaps we should rethink protocols etc to make many of these features more native
I recently spent a weekend building this fun little project when a friend and I were comparing legacy codebases we'd worked on. I had the sudden idea that it would be funny to compile old TODO comments to see who else procrastinates tech debt as much as some we've seen.
The site is pretty slow; namely cloning and git blaming on repos with a large git history is naturally slow. If anyone has any fun hacks to make this more efficient - the code for this is open source!
