Agree with the chromium dominance but ats up with crypto?

Its bloat in the browser but I spend maybe 5 mins turning those off and they never bother me again. Haven’t seen one of their features magically turned on like what MS does.

Have they done anuthing sketchy to question their privacy commitments? Most I’ve seen was their Tor implementation was improper.

I don’t recall if there was any limit per person but it made clear it still cost them to manufacture and ship so asked not to abuse them.

I only ordered once and got the disks for ubuntu, kubuntu and server edition of 10.04.

Took me a few years to realise what the server edition even was. Sadly I lost all disks but pretty much used the ubunutu gnome disks quite well.

I too had same reaction when i received three disks. Till then i hadnt held a professional CD of anything and here i had for free. Subsequently got fedora and got turned off by how laggy it was for me.

At that time my access to internet was through a relative and it took ~9 hours to download 1GB. Net plan was 5GB free per month except 11pm to 3 am something wouldnt count against the free limit.

Signed up for Ubuntu free CD. Got 10.04 LTS. Was such an improvement from vista on a core 2 duo and 3gb ddr2. Only moved complete to linux in 2019 after years of tinkering with couple RPis and getting the hang of using linux.

Possibly lock-in to their ecosystem of wearable devices. Those often poorly integrate with android.

Exacty hows it more performant than nvim? Sure has some GUI functionalities but nvim supports many mouse actions even.

I’ve mostly used ST as my primary choice for quick edits or other raedom files thats not part of my project files. I use NVim while working on the CLI and dont need to do large rapid edits. If I need I can learn some advanced commands of nvim to make better use of it or set up some good key binds.

In terms of plugins, they both have all basic ones for daily dev needs. Nvim honestly have a bunch of useful integrations thats very easy to do if using something like astrovim.

Haven’t seen any performance drops in either with bunch of extensions. On that note vscode has even more extensive plugins available for most setup needs without too much of a performance hit. I’ve only seen it perform bad on a 6th gen i3 with 8gb ram when run along with eclipse, dozen chrome tabs and postman. Thats the reason I chose ST initially.
