    The distro hopping thing is funny to me. I remember when I first started to play with linux I got hung up on it too until I realized that there really isn’t a huge difference outside of kernel version, package management and preinstalled software….well and I suppose the release cycles too, but even those follow pretty close to either rhel arch’s or debians Then I got my first job as a Soc operator, and have just stuck to Ubuntu since that is mostly what you see in production systems anyways. Your desktop looks snazzy btw.

    In terms of laptops, I've found the battery life on the new AMD FrameWork laptop pretty good. I tend to have the brightness pretty high on my laptop (probably higher than I ought to) and I can usually get 6-8 hours of battery life if I don't have too many browser tabs open and avoid electron apps, or 4-ish hours if I have four or five TH-cam videos open alongside discord and spotify.
    That said, if you don't have any software that requires x86, the recent ARM laptops with Qualcomm snapdragon CPUs can get upwards of 12 hours of battery life. I've only heard of people using windows on them thus far, and I understand that proprietary software for x86 computers can be pretty slow due to emulation issues, but FOSS software should have no such issues.

    • @JoshuaBlais

    I'm not sure if AMD thinkpads would benefit but on my Intel thinkpads, for battery life issues, try installing TLP. Even it's default config helps battery life a ton on my thinkpads. Granted they are all intel based but I would assume it works for AMD as well.

      @JoshuaBlais  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Thank you friend! Tmux is a bit more than just a multitab feature for me - it helps to spawn work sessions, saving across reboots, and I also use is extensively in the server (albeit I have different leader binds to not conflict with my desktop's tmux session). It also is more widely used, thus for me it's become my mainstay in all terminal sessions

  • @Mywifeleftme3
    @Mywifeleftme3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Good stuff. I’m also a die hard tmux user, and I do a lot of remote work. I have my own personal solution, but I would be curious to know how you deal with like nested sessions, if you’ve ever ran into that problem? Example, I’m in one tmux session locally (usually I do this to run scripts locally to offload work across many remote machines), ssh into one of the remote machines and attach to a running session remotely, within a local tmux session. It gets wonky if you try to do this without a bit of tinkering.

    • @JoshuaBlais
      @JoshuaBlais  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I assume you mean the issue that you run into is that if you have the same key binds then you're going to be in a bit of hurt when trying to switch between the local and remote sessions? I personally use one leader bind (ctrl + space) for my local sessions, and then the default ctrl + b for remote sessions.

      @@JoshuaBlais and whether or not the package is available is another detail altogether. Sometimes you have to build from source, and just hope and pray that it doesn't end 5 hours later with dozens of build tools, Google searches, and it's still not installed. That was my experience with MPV, and as of late, ffmpeg (with Nvidia hw encoders). Debian is the most well supported generally, and yet I still encounter install issues all the time. I would feel concerned trying with other distros

    Very cool! Still using the Chocofi or did you switch? I am not a fan of intel/AMD Thinkpads in their current format, but I was pondering getting into an ARM Thinkpad. Mainly to support ARM on Linux and the battery life.

      Still using the chocofi, I think the only other board i would get is a ferris sweep/ferricy as it has the same key stagger just is 34 keys. I agree ARM could be interesting, but I don't think it is there yet for linux, it might be worth looking into in 12-18 months (unless you're developing for it, then get one right now and help out the effort!!)

      thumb cluster is pretty hand specific, if you have really big hands I could see it being an issue for some. I naturally fall on the middle of the 3 buttons, so use that as my space/backspace button on either hand.

      That sounds awesomme, make a video about your thoughts on it! Ferricy looks cool, it cuts off the extra parts of the ferris and looks like the chocofi.
