What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
^ How old is the Chromebook? First time that I have heard that Crouton breaks at every update.
Someone told me that I am delusional, I almost fell off my unicorn.

sim: It's an HP 14. I haven't kept careful track or anything when it comes to crouton updates or breakage, so I'm working with an exaggerated impression. I just think it's cool that crouton makes this bit of plastic into something actually useful. And if a chroot gets weird, it's nothing to delete and start over. I learn more each time I do it.

I am running Cream. FVWM-Crystal is my goto out of the wm's, but I play around with all of them.
Sir! Put down the hammer and slowly step away from the computer.

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
Lately I've been having some issues with my pinky, my sweaty palms, and my wrist hence i am willing to invest a lot of time trying anything that might help.
Long story short, i bought used Microsoft natural keyboard, rubbing hand sanitizer whenever my palms starting to sweat (you might noticed it in my EDC post), and learning alternative keyboard layouts. Hoping it'll alleviate some of the issues.
I decided to pick Colemak as my daily driver. Went cold turkey since 4 days ago. It's been excruciatingly painful, especially in adapting my dotfiles. Typing speed is pretty embarrassing too. I only got 22 wpm on average in gtypist.
For some reason i can't explain, the damn palms don't sweat as much as when i use QWERTY. I think I'll keep this...

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
^ I'm at 47-50 now... so slightly better than you, right? ;P
that's a great idea, i should get one of those usb aircon. Emacs might've been a significant factor too.... I've been using evil-mode (*gasp*), a vi like emulation mode for emacs about a month (since before moving to colemak), now i adapted its config to colemak as well. It's pretty good, and definitely helps. :)

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
That's good, i dont think i'll ever be able to remap my brain to use another keymap, let alone using vi commands in emacs.
wow they do make a little desk fan which is water cooled.

This topic tracks all my history from CrunchBang till today. Wow, amarcord moment.
Anyways, only using 2 PC at the moment:
- the already praised HP media server with Debian Jessie and all I need to get/stream films over my network
- the Dell XPS 13 wit Ubuntu 16.04 with all I need to work everyday (usual suspects: Emacs+CIDER, Opera+devtools, ...)

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
I'm just jealous :)
although I frikkin' love my X1 to bits. has not had anything (other than my fuckups) go wrong with it, kids walk on it (with i3lock on) and gets crap spilt on it, works out on the patio, on the bed. runs at a tranquil 0.06 load most of the day.

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
Last week, i ran the ME_cleaner ( https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner) on the Gigabyte Z87 and the H97N, truncated the OEM bios size as well. No more /dev/mei!
Using both internal and external (pomona + rpi) method, all works well.

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
I'm still running this old Lenovo T500 with two external drives velcro'd to the lid, lols,
KAos, OpenSuse, Linux Mint, Solus, and the perfect workbeast which is my JWM (or my Spectrwm) on Linuxbbq Lunchtime!
I have managed to break KAos once, OpenSuse twice, and Linux Mint many times!
The only ones I have yet to break are Solus and Lunchtime.
Lunchtime is perfect- I feel no need to do any more tinkering with it. I can do just about anything I want to do with it. So if I need something absolutely done, Lunchtime is where I go.
I have got to get the money to upgrade RAM, though. 4GB just works it way too hard.

Haha. 4 GB RAM is what I use and it was a nice upgrade from 2 I had previously. :)

Re: What are you actually running for daily/primary usage?
^ This. On my x230 i rarely go anywhere above 1.5GiB of RAM usage, save when running Chrome on multiple tabs or uhh Expo/Genymotion. 8 is the right number these days, but i can do with 4 or even slightly less.
^^ I would get an extra large SSDx, rather than RAM on your case. :)
