macOS is my favourite operating system. Finder in column view with arrow keys to navigate, combined with space for file preview, is incredibly fast and intuitive. Trackpad integration also results in less hand movement. I’m building a Linux (Bazzite) desktop, though, and I’ve set my sights on the stars.
nnn looks to be an incredible file manager, and was a great recommendation. It looks even more capable than Finder, albeit without scrolling/zooming previews, thanks to macOS having unmatched trackpad functionality. Not to mention Spotlight, which makes opening apps trivial–especially with Alfred available as well. I want to go beyond mere file management, though.
File managenent, browsing, gaming, everything. Just how much can you configure a Linux system to eliminate mouse usage? Shortcut guides welcome (I already know the major ones). I also have a keen interest in tiling window managers, but I’ve not delved that deep yet. I don’t know how to set one up.
Guess I’m forced to learn Emacs/Vim/similar.
Damn, nice. That’s the card I keep telling myself I should upgrade to. I have a 5700 XT and I really like it but I kinda want something newer with more power
The build is comedy.
Ryzen 9 9950X
Radeon 7900 XTX
4TB SSD
64GB RAM
4k120hz TV. That’s something I didn’t mention–this is a living room build. The ultimate infodumping experience.
It’s important to note my current system is a MacBook (emulating retro), and a PS5/Steam Deck. My PC at work is an old desktop running Arch (I experiment in my free time). This is why I’m doing a build. If your card is only just starting to fall behind, I’d wait until next generation. It’ll save you in the long run, which I think matters more than anything.
Ooohh nice. That’s a beast of a system. Although mine isn’t a slouch it doesn’t quite compare to that. I have a 7950X, 10TB of total NVMe but with raid it’s only 5TB, 64GB of ram…and my 5700 XT.
