Mine is using the arrow keys to navigate typed text while writing and editing. It helps speed things up, versus having to move your hand to the mouse to navigate.
Use the Up and Down Arrows to move/jump vertically.
Left and Right Arrows to move/jump horizontally.
Combine Left or Right Arrow with Shift to be able to select text. Use Up or Down Arrow with Shift to quickly select whole/nearly whole sections of text.
Combine Control with Left/Right Arrow to jump whole words to more quickly move to where you want to type.
Linux is the easier to install, less headache to run, less configuration needed, better to game on platform compared to windows.
That’s my life hack. Get over the Stockholm syndrome.
I don’t know shit about Linux but I’ve been using Mint for the last year with no problem. It’s pretty idiot-proof and I haven’t had any issues with software since gaming is largely solved on Linux and Adobe can eat my ass.
I agree, the hardest thing with linux is learning the alternatives. Thankfully adobe is pretty well covered and you are not missing anything by quitting it.
Wish we got an alternative to fusion 360 that had a good, fast workflow tho.
I too volunteer for Adobe to eat my ass. That’s cool though that LM is working out for you. I’m sure Clem would be happy to hear that.
Would say that GNU/Linux is actually *more * customizable than Windows which then requires more config. For a techie like me, not a downside as I can figure it out… but wouldn’t say this is true for all distros even with vanilla Gnome compared to Windows or something like ZorinOS. IMO, GNU/Linux still takes the cake on this one unfortunately.
Yes if you install gentoo or something. I run arch btw(endeavour) and there was no customization needed other than installing an app store of my choice.
Yeah, I understand the mindset behind “if I tell people Linux is easy, they might actually switch.” Getting people to switch means overcoming a lot of social inertia. But the issue is that this makes you an unreliable source when a newbie inevitably runs into issues. They’ll be more likely to go “eh I was told it was easy but this isn’t. I guess it’s just not for me.”
Providing a realistic outlook may make Linux sound less appealing, but it will mean those who do try it are more likely to stick with it.
What distribution do you use?
Recommend CachyOS, not US centered and pretty stable.
What makes you consider a distro as US centered?
What distribution do you use?
Currently am on endeavour os but honestly, I started on fedora. You can get mint or ubuntu or whatever cause honestly they differences are basically about as noticable in day to day use than different editions of windows.
