I had more of a need for android emulation when i was still using subscription services that don’t have a native linux version and their webbrowser version is kneecapped. Something like apple music is a good example of that. But i gave up music streaming and starting buying CDs and selfhosting them, so now i’m not sure what need i would have for android emulation honestly. I can’t think of any android app that i would want to run on my pc.

Ah, did not know that actually. I think i used the official mullvad cli on NixOS once since they had it packaged anyway, but on other distros i always used wireguard to connect, so that explains why i haven’t encountered that.

Kinda curious what applications give you trouble without systemd? I ran Void linux for like 2 years and now i’m on Guix, and never really had issues with applications because of systemd not being present.

Depends a bit on your setup. If you’re using systemd you can use the logind.conf as already mentioned, or if you’re on a non-systemd distro you can use the forked elogind, which works pretty much the same way. For locking your session when suspending, since i use wayland, i use swayidle for that. In its config i just put before-sleep 'swaylock', which will execute swaylock before the system goes to sleep.

I don’t have any experience with those drives, but i do have an LG BE16NU50 drive, which i already had when i was still on windows, and it worked on linux no problem. I also use it to play/rip CDs. I’m not sure if it’s any different for 4k bluray drives, since mine is older and 1080p only, but from my experience it just works.

In emacs ctrl+y is paste, which is weird to me because i’m pretty sure even in emacs the logic is that y stands for yank, but in every other program i’ve used so far yank means copy, not paste. In the end though i feel like muscle memory from other editors don’t bother me as much, and i can learn multiple at the same time. I started with evil mode for vim bindings for a short while, but now i’m diving into pure emacs bindings.

If we’re talking purely something basic to be able to edit some shit on the system i think i would choose nano, purely because i’ve used it for years to edit everything (yes, even config files in full programming languages lol) and thus i’m very familiar with it. If we’re talking anything terminal-based in general, i like helix as a modal editor. I chose it over neovim at the time because i didn’t feel like configuring the whole thing, and helix is pretty much ready to go with lsp and everything ootb. A few weeks ago though i decided to make the switch to emacs, since i use guix now, so it felt like a natural fit. I might check out emacs in the terminal at some point, but i’m sticking with the gui for now.
