   @rooster I've been really happy with my move to Neovim + LazyVim. It took me a little while to learn my way around all the plugins but now it feels super comfortable.

   My trajectory was Vim -> VScode -> Neovim so it feels like coming home.

     Ok,

     I'm leaning towards a very lean debian install with wayland and sway, and moving to neovim maybe starting with trying out LazyVim in my offtime to learn the ropes

     Debian just feels right for my "Pursuing power and reliability and not flashy tech" goals, I think. I don't need to be on the bleeding edge, I just want my computer to be powerful and stable and not spy on me and not waste energy making things prettier than they nee to be.

     To sum up my motivations when it comes to tech:

     I want to eliminate surveillance

     I want sovereignty over my data

     I think pursuing graphics and pretty devices has really fucked technology and that instead our advances should be promoting more powerful and reliable tech, not pretty tech.

     I'm not interested in needs invented by capitalists to sell me RGB shit and higher DPI monitors. I just want to code and own my data and go out into the world to find beauty

     I'm considering the following moves and the public comment period has begun:

     Fedora -> NixOS**
     Plasma -> sway*
     VSCode -> nvim

     * hyprland removed due to apparently involving jerks
     ** apparently didn't escape the jerkification, open to other options
