  • About 0.00001% of my worth as a human being. Wait till you venture out of the DE world and into the WM world. i3, BSPWM, Openbox. Go even farther and try Wayland with Sway, Hyprland, Niri, MangoWC. Make your own bars. Configure your own keybindings. Cuss a lot. Pull your hair out. Feel the pain. When you come out the other side you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with so much bloat to begin with. And all of a sudden you might know some CSS and json.


  • It rings true but it’s not. It’s highly dependent on your upgrade plan. You can get a new CPU without a new mobo if you aren’t changing architecture like jumping from AM4 to AM5. The idea that only the cheap parts last the longest isn’t true either. I’ve been on the same GPU for nearly 7 years. It’s getting long in the tooth but when I do decide to upgrade I’m not forced to upgrade anything else. The GPU is the bottleneck but the bottleneck isn’t noticeable unless I’m playing some new AAA game that requires everything under the sun to run it.

    That last paragraph about parts being 5 to 10 years taking up close to 0% of your build just isn’t true for me either. The newest parts in my PC are three years old at this point. The case, the CPU and Mobo, Ram and an NVME drive. The case was purely for vanity reasons. I got an old GPU, and old PSU, 1 NVME drive, 2 SSD drives, and 2 HDDs that are 10 years old. All those parts are older than 5 years. The argument that most people are using PCs that are less than 5 years old sounds like some phone FOMO shit. I don’t buy it.


  • Yeah. This article pops up every once in a while and it’s always the same reaction. Skittles color schemes can suck. Good thing there’s an infinite amount of color schemes to pick from or create your own. AND the suggested solution this article gives also sucks. The bold and italics tip is cool but everybody has different tastes.

    I color keywords, comments, strings, and constants. Italics are used for function names and comments. Then errors and warnings are a red/yellow color. I can spot right away where I fucked up because the color of the word changes. It looks good to me and I can tell where everything is unlike in the examples given in the article.



  • Like Hyprland AND want to try Niri at the same time? BOOM MangoWC. Been using it for months now. Don’t ever see myself going back to Hyprland. Completely bypassed the Niri hype too. It has tiling and scrolling modes. You can toggle between them. Just as smooth as Hyprland without all the bloat. Plus whenever someone says something about some window manger or DE you can now respond, ‘no thank you, I’ll have the Mango.’
