https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki I’m trying to use it as a knowledge base for everything (think about Evernote, but with vim-mode and markdown)… so far so good…

One of the most valuable hacks on OSX for me:

Nice one but linux has this since a long time ago I believe 2016.

Apps are launchable with the win key + number

It really does wonders with productivity

http://www.funk-isoft.com/display-maid.html

also this is in linux since ages

it’s basically one of the 2 major reasons I cannot work with osX

https://clients.amazonworkspaces.com/

I use this as my primary “work” space these days (~5mo)

I feel like it’s the best of both worlds

haven’t tried it.

It’s windows right ?

I’m using the Linux workspace

X windows

so I leave my laptop at work

have one at home

keep all work in the workspace and can use it anywhere

can even use it on iPad

supports dual displays

oh, nice. yeah that sounds promising.

The Amazon Linux WorkSpaces Desktop is based on MATE this is exactly what I am using, it is a continuation of gnome2 and it’s the most stable ( boring ) desktop enviornment of them all

lol

boring indeed

It was painful for the first ~2 weeks looking at it

but I’ve gotten used to it

What i’ve noticed over the years, in osX and Ios there’s always a (0,5 secs I presume ) lag in the GUI

and it has always bothered me. I don’t know if it’s on purpose or not.

I actually find this as a better replacement without the learning curve http://vimcasts.org/episodes/neovim-terminal/

on that line: https://github.com/github/hub

PR, clone, create, fork, etc made easy from the CLI

similarly

Easy ignore files: ~/.gitconfig

[alias
    ignore = "!gi() { curl -L -s <https://www.gitignore.io/api/$@> ;}; gi

git ignore terraform > .gitignore

neat, haven’t seen that

Another useful one is bclean = ! git branch --merged | grep -v -E '(^\\*|master)' | xargs -r git branch -d

to clean remote merged branches locally

Oh, and this one is great https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

I have a couple more useful function on my dotFiles, but I rather not spam

Any Evernote alternatives for Linux? I using Wallabag for page capture (something Evernote did great) for offline reading, but many times it fails really
