Looking good!

I use Neovim, yes. I’ve actually rotated the trackball about 45° now, feels more natural for the right hand when I shift from the keyboard to it. Needs some adjustments but I think this will be better than with the regular mouse.

It’s really nice being able to scroll by twisting the trackball!

I like it a lot, but as you say it takes a lot of getting used to and practice. I don’t think my WPM is near what it is on a regular keyboard, but we’re talking a few weeks of use versus 30 years of muscle memory … I’m gradually switching over to the Glove. Funnily enough I write better on it when I’m not thinking about it at all.

Yes, or, I’ve had the mouse to the right, too. But I think it makes the most sense in the middle.

The Scylla looks pretty nice too!

2025 is the year of the Linux desktop ergomech keyboard

I actually cast Mage Hand when I need to use it while typing.

Got to spend your money on something, right? I figured it’s a tool I’m using for 8 hours a day to make a living, so it’s worth it to avoid more tendonitis/RSI.

No, this is actually my first split/ergo keyboard. I considered the Moonlander as well, but figured I’d go straight for the endgame, haha. The keywells really work great. My hands are on the larger side though, so I can reach all the keys with ease.

Yep! Having a great time with it.

Wearing sunglasses inside is very cool indeed.

I concur. It’s like HN but with less AI/VC BS.

Blatant rip-off of the Norwegian invention “roller burger”, which was a turd shaped hamburger intended to be served at gas stations using their hot dog rollers and a hot dog bun.

TECTONIC SHIFT

As for music production on Linux, I use Reaper. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

I like his little wiener.

I use it on my laptop which has a small screen. I have two or three workspaces/“ribbons” with let’s say terminals (with IDE) on the first one, browser(s) under that one and chats in the bottom row. I have at most two or three windows in each row, so there’s not much overhead. Also there are keybindings to jump to the start or end of each workspace. How many windows do you usually have open?

Niri is great!

Thanks for the tip.

I am currently reading Cloud Native Go, among other things. Seems interesting.
