    HJKL for ◀️🔽🔼▶️ (Vi layout) under a thumb layer key.

    Let’s me use at least the basic movement everywhere both in and out of (Neo)Vi(m) etc. Games excluded of course, I use WASD there (or ESDF if I know I’ll be playing a game long enough to justify remapping things)

    NGL that block pattern thing is something I never really noticed but it makes a lot of sense. The messy way to do it in C++ would be with a lambda that you then just evaluate, but being about to avoid that and instead using standard scoping syntax for the same thing neat. I’m pretty sure I’ve even done this before without even thinking about it.

    And if you put all of the definitions you need right at the top it’s super easy to split out into a function if/when you need it elsewhere

    I always, always have the urge to update my image and flatpaks even when I have zero reason to. And if I have nothing productive to do anyways, why not lol.

    On Windows I always delay big updates by, at minimum, a week. I don’t trust them.




  • The 64GB drive is indeed rough. I had massive troubles downloading, updating, and launching games, even with a large fast SD card. The only thing that ever truly fixed it was swapping to my current 512GB SSD.

    256GB would be fine though if OP can manage to snag one. It’ll be a bit tight if you want to have multiple modern AAA games installed, but most everything else will run comfortably on an SD card.





  • Last time I tried to use Arch for gaming I ran into constant issues like what you describe. Almost like it wasn’t using the correct graphics drivers for the games even though I could verify it was. I never could quite figure it out.

    If you’re not against distro hopping, I suggest switching to Bazzite or Nobara. Plain old Fedora is usually fine too if you’re not using an Nvidia GPU or don’t mind futzing around with RPMFusion, but the extra utilities and tweaks provided in Nobara and Bazzite are really nice.
