This command will just run an executable file on nix. Normally only executables which are installed from the package manager will work.

appimage-run is another option. Which can be used to run, you guessed it, appimages

Using a language server like nixd also helps a lot with auto completing packages and options in your config.

Apparently people are also working on the nickel configuration language to address some of the nix limitations and difficulties.

notify-send 'command finished!' works pretty well

Try Readest, open source, works on android, ios, linux, etc. Has syncing of books and highlights/notes. Still in active development though.

Not sure about that. They would probably start paying for cleaning offsets or something and claim that it’s the same as actually cleaning up their trash, so they don’t need to do anything.

I have a simple planck eotb, and carry it everywhere I go. It’s really convenient. I think I got used to typing on it in only a couple of weeks, but spend the past few years tweaking my custom ambidextrous layout.

Some of my personal favorites are:

• having backspace+ctrl combined on one key, enter+shift combined on another key.
• Having enter and backspace on both sides of the keyboard, so I can use either hand to use them
• Having a single hand numpad when holding a layer key. Very practical for number stuff.
• Putting any computer to sleep, or changing volume without having to look for the right key on my keyboard.

I put together an olkb planck 40% kit years ago, and it’s still my main keyboard for day to day use. (programming, gaming, writing, anything really) The main thing I like about it is that I can just put it in my backpack and carry it with me. It’s nice to take my laptop to a cafe or library and still have my good keyboard with me.

I’m not even represented. 40 % anyone? nobody?
