They aren’t exactly CLI but I really like obsidian for taking notes. It’s not open source though. Logseq is good too and is OSS. Both use markdown for formatting so if you are familiar with writing pages on GitHub you’ll have no trouble. Even if not markdown is super easy to learn. That and all of your data stays local and in open formats. I edit my stuff in a terminal anyway.

Just look up obsidian OSINT on YouTube you’ll find some good stuff on how to use it.

Another thought is just use markdown files and a directory structure in a private git repo. You’d be able to interact with it locally entirely in the terminal with vim etc and have the option of going online and searching or organizing etc. You could probably even use a cli browser for that part if you wanted.

I’m not sure where this software comes from, but you should try to get a merge to fix this to default. I’d give it a thumbs up after some testing for sure.

I remember when Ubuntu came out I was working in a PC repair shop. Not gonna give any opinion on this but the standard procedure for people wanting a fresh XP but didn’t have a license key was “well it’s $90 for a fresh install, or we can put a pirate pro corporate on it”. I e-mailed canonical and they sent me a whole stack of Ubuntu CDs in nice branded sleeves. I kept it by the register and started offering that as an alternative to piracy for people that didn’t have a license key and didn’t wanna fork over the cash for one, Not many people chose that option, but I had a lot of good talks with people and plenty of people took a CD to try the live Ubuntu. I hope some of them ended up making the switch. I’m kinda disgruntled with conical these days but I’m an old greybeard who grew up in Slackware. I still recommend Ubuntu to beginners along with fedora.

I would second any Thinkpad that has USB C charging. That’s what I’m looking to get next. Renewed ones are <$300

Everyone needs to hear this. But most people don’t even know about it.

Haha I love it. c++ is definitely super useful. I never got that deep with it but I’ve certainly benefited from many things written in c++. Wrote small things and I’ve had to debug it on occasion just to get something working. It usually ended up being a compiler flag I had to set. I ended up going into web and network related stuff after college. Perl was my goto back then but I’m loving these newer languages and the thought put into some of it. For example the struct, interfaces, and type systems in go could probably replicate a lot of what you would use the classes and objects for.

I used c++ in college, and I think it’s useful to know c because so much relies on it. That said if I’m going to do something that needs performance I’ll look to go first, then rust if go isn’t a good fit, but that’s mostly because I know go better. Both are excellent languages.

If I just need something functional quick and easily I’ll turn to Python. If I need a net service quick node.js is great.

VIM for the win. I really enjoy the built in file browser accessed by the command :explore

I also code in go frequently and go-fmt and go-lint etc work flawlessly. You can use whatever LSP you want so you get your code tips and autosuggestion etc.

The tabs and split window functions are nice too. Plus if you learn Vi well it’s on almost every system in existence. Nano not so much

Np. Trying to find the exact page but I just checked the last logs in journalctl after each crash to determine that’s what it was. If you search Wayland + kwin + Intel GPU crash you get lots of hits. It can be fixed but now that I know it’s very specific to my setup and already fixed in future versions I’m not so worried.

I have a similar issue specific to my Intel graphics, debian 12, and kde. It’s fixed in the newer kernel in debian Trixie. In my case I was able to set up a keybind to ctrl-alt-backspace which kills the graphics server. I have to catch it quick or it’ll lock up completely, but it’s something to try. I’m on 15 days uptime now I’ve probably had to do that about 5 times.
