The Saga Begins
I tried using Hyprland with Debian Linux a few months ago but the packages are a little out of date even when using the unstable (SID) distribution. As I had been using SID packages, then the Debian Linux system had become a little too unstable for day to day use. Interestingly I installed the KDE desktop and that worked very nicely before I started again from scratch.
Hyperland is kept up to date in Arch Linux although there is a lot more work to learn and maintain arch linux compared to Debian Linux. pacman command options are quite cryptic and I found them hard to memorise. Its also easy to break things doing an update (the downside of a rolling release based distribution).
Garuda Linux adds some nice tools on top of Arch Linux (and can also used the Nix sub-system) to simplify overall package upgrades and a range of other maintenance tools.
Supporting the editor-code-assistant/eca-nvim project via testing and feedback. Contributed a plugin spec for lazy.nvim plugin manager. The eca-nvim plugin is in very early stages, but I got a prompt to appear in Neovim
Health and fitness continues to improve and the number of cycle rides and distance continues to increase. In July I completed 800km distance from 11 distinct rides, totalling around 35 hours of riding across the month (not including stoppage time).
Cycling maintenance seems to be complete for both the Ribble SL Disc and Bianchi 928 RC road bikes.
Aims:
- DONE: new cleats for the black & red Lake shoes (and readjust cleats on white lake shoes)
- DOING: upgrade OS on rangerone (Garuda Linux Hyprland flavor)
- BLOCKED: continue eval of shuttle and rust experiments - on hold due to service outages
- TODO: update Practicalli Clojure hot loading examples
