Future:

• Helix
  • I want to learn Helix’s keyboard workflow
  • Helix’s lack of extensions has held me back.
    • Helix has been working on extensions for a while though and I’ll re-evaluate it once it does and the community builds the needed extensions
  • Zed has some helix commands, so I may switch to that from vscode to get helix commands + extensions.
• OSs
  • I want to reduce my windows 11 maintenance
  • Held back by anti-cheat games (PUBG, then Helldivers 2, and will try Arc Raiders these holidays, potentially Marathon next year)
  • I’ll experiment with KDE / Cosmic / Niri in 2026.
  • If no anti-cheat games have captured my attention in 2027, I’ll switch another one of my personal machines to Linux
