Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro 2018, and I'm dipping my toes into virtual machine, tried VirtualBox and then moved to QEMU with UTM after some recommendation on YouTube saying KVM is just better.

However, my Windows 10 virtual machine created with UTM is so slow and laggy. Then I tried the Parallel Desktop, which is propriety and the performance is so much better. Why is that?

I don't want to use a propriety paid program for VM, so I want to ask how to improve performance on UTM or any open-source alternative that gives the performance on par with one on parallel desktop.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, so I stumbled on some videos and decided to change my browser and search engine for more privacy. I wrote about it in my blog, hope u find it useful.

I already posted this on c/commandline but I think it's more suitable here.

Welcome to Tmux community, let's share your configs, seek technical help and have some discussions.

Hi guys, it's my new blog post on managing snippets with a TUI program called Nap. I know it not addressing Neovim specifically, but writing code in the terminal in general, and I'm requesting Tmux community btw. Hope you find the blog useful.

Hi guys, I'm a soydev trying to learn rust. It's hard, especially with the references, ownership, the compiler goes crazy every time and I just throw all the references, dereference until it stops. I'm not used to it coming from JS. Do you have some resource, tips to improve on this? Thank you very much. Side note: what is your first project in rust? And what are some interesting open-source rust projects, you go to learn from/ contribute to?

he gives some really nice tips with the the g key, I think u can learn a thing or two from this.

If you are like me, chances are you used Neovim for a period of time without knowing the basics. The notion of buffers windows and tabs in Vim is quite different from other IDEs/code editors. I suggest you read through this and this Stackoverflow answer to get some understanding of this matter.

I think the main pain point of distro hopping is learning a new package manager, I discovered Nix a while ago, it works on every single OS, has the biggest package repo out there. I replaced Homebrew on my mac with it. If this piques your interest, give it a go. Later, you can integrate with Home-manager to manage all of your program config to have a reproducible dev environment on any machine, as described in the tutorial here.

The catch is it's really advanced and got steep learning curve. You can adopt gradually tho. Just get started with nix-shell and nix-env

If you find yourself adding a new file with :e but the folder isn't there yet, this is for u
