Linkarzu Podcast | Neovim, macOS, Emacs, Linux, Terminals and more.

Kovid Goyal is the creator of the Kitty terminal and the Calibre e-book reader. We had an interview around 4 months ago. After that interview, I became a fan of the myth, the legend. So much so that I switched back from Ghostty to Kitty as my main terminal. Well, not just because, but because he implemented a feature I was missing in Ghostty: Sessions. So I was able to replace my beloved tmux with kitty and I've been running without tmux for a few months now, it's been good.Video:https://youtu.be/SY8L-cj4x6kWhat's the best way to support me?https://linkarzu.com/about/#youre-a-fraud-why-do-you-ask-for-money-isnt-youtube-ads-enoughTimeline:00:00:00 - Highlights00:02:31 - 2nd time00:03:24 - choose-files kitten image and video preview demo00:07:30 - Does it replace the open file dialogue on macOS or just Linux?00:09:13 - Why do you create all these protocols and tools?00:10:34 - The itch of improving your workflow.

I've been thinking about Linux lately, a lot. But I'm still not sure which distro to go with, everyone keeps saying arch, but my brain, wisdom and soul say Debian.

In this lively discussion, Tony (Linux educator), Henry Misk (workflow engineer), and Joshua Blais (Emacs expert) dive into the complexities of modern work setups. They debate whether multiple screens enhance productivity or complicate workflows, and ponder the merits of ultrawide monitors. The trio shares tips on keyboard-centric workflows and tools like Nix for reproducible environments. Finally, they challenge the notion of over-engineering tools and emphasize the importance of simplicity and practicality in tech.

There's a community of 8 users, that are very persistent, and always trying to get you to install NixOS. They swear by it and say it's the best thing ever happened after the discovery of fire and the invention of the wheel. @tony-btw is one of those users, and he will share about NixOS with us, so we can see if it's just hype, or if we should give it a try.
