compatibility with my sensibilities.

I don't mind giving up a little inconvenience if something is beautiful, and that Magic Mouse is beautiful.

But it wasn't going to work on Linux, so I found something else.

The MS3 is nice, but I sometimes do wish the Magic Mouse was pretty good.

If you're a developer, you should learn how to control your environment with the keyboard.

It's just, it's faster, it's more fluid.

I think one of those silly things I've come to truly appreciate about my Amakoop setup is that I can, in whatever time it takes to refresh the screen, probably five milliseconds, switch from one virtual desktop to another.

Even on Windows, can't get it that smooth.

You can get close, can't get it that smooth.

On macOS, for whatever reason, Apple insists on having this infuriating animation when you switch between virtual desktops, which makes it such that you don't want to.

You don't want to run full-screen apps because it's too cumbersome to switch between the virtual desktops.

The kind of immediacy that you can get from...

a wonderful Linux setup in that regard.

It's just next level.

it changes how you use the computer.

It really does.

It's funny, I actually had to watch, I think it was the Primogen on YouTube when he was showing off his setup, and I was seeing how quickly he was switching between those virtual desktops.

I'd always been using virtual desktops, but I didn't like switching too much because just of that latency and it's like, oh, you can do that on Linux?

Oh, that's pretty cool.

So I run that, and then my editor of choice now is NeoVim.
