tsar9x··on Eclipse Theia 1.0 – Open-Source Alternative to Visual Studio Code
Remote dev extension is a huge advantage of VSCode and is not open sourced.
tsar9x··on Firefox 75 on Wayland now to have full WebGL, working VA-API acceleration
Did you try to use WebRTC PipeWire for screen sharing?
tsar9x··on WireGuard Gives Linux a Faster, More Secure VPN
I don't know try to read parent's comment again and see it's about GUI?
tsar9x··on Linux 5.6 is the most exciting kernel in years
Intel iGPU driver (i915) is broken in 5.4 release, I think there are still big issues with QA.
tsar9x··on Ubuntu 19.10: It’s fast
While Gnome 3.34 is great, there is still some basic (for me) functionality missing (talking about Wayland, because I can't stand screen tearing on Xorg):

- no option to set mouse scroll speed

- hidpi support

- no tray icons (and extensions doesn't work great...)

- notifications system

- gestures/trackpad

I'm planning to move to MacBook to see how it is, in case I need more power, I will just use my workstation/gaming PC (with Nvidia, right now I'm using AMD with the only reason being Wayland support, because hardware is much worse).

tsar9x··on macOS no longer allows changing wifi mac address
VIM is all about efficiency and comfort, I'm wondering why any vim user would use ESC key in default position, to exit insert mode you can write:

- ESC

- Ctrl-c

- Ctrl-[

- Configure Caps as Ctrl when held, ESC when tapped

- Use key chord, for example 'jk'

tsar9x··on FreeBSD on the Lenovo Thinkpad
Wayland fractional scaling doesn't work for Chromium and Electron apps, with X11 it's at least possible to make it work.
tsar9x··on From Mac to Linux – the setup I've grown to love
There is VS Code Remote Dev extension, so you can have everything in ssh/wsl/docker and only use VS Code in Windows as UI.

I think Huawei Matebook has even better display than MacBooks, 3:2 ratio hidpi screen. Also something from Surface line, not sure about Linux compatibility though.
tsar9x··on GNOME Shell and Mutter
Monitor/laptop makers don't help either by introducing weird size/res combinations. The only reasonable company seems to be Apple with 220dpi displays that are perfect for 2x scaling.
