I still find it better than Android TV though.

At least in my experience, most of the poor UX can be explained by the fact that LG shipped underpowered hardware for the OS and apps that are expected to run on it. I bought my TV a year ago and it lags or loses input on the main menu, and it's even worse in apps. Forget it if you want to use the overlay menu to change a setting lol If you remember Palm/HP webOS, it had Preware homebrew that didn't require exploits…

The only software that I want to run on my TV are TV channels, and all the streaming operators, for anything else I have devices that I don't need to root.

My Android TV on the other room is equally just good enough to run Android, also not going to win any benchmarks.

Agree that the overlay menus on WebOS take their time to come up, but I am not going into them all the time for them to get into my nerves.

>Sometimes that means having a side panel. I do not even need that. Modal editing is enough to keep me away from all the VI clones. I hate it with a passion. I have a fully customized Emacs that I use for anything Lispy and it's great for that purpose but everything else is just "ok". I try to use Zed but since it is a commercial offering it is just a matter of time until it gets entshitified too. Vscode is/was reall…

Honest question, what is it that you hate about modal editing?

It's annoying. I'm fine with being in one mode. I'm fine with selecting 7 lines and typing "whatever". I hate "7ddiwhatever".

And yes, it may be the case that you are faster in VI(m) than I am in (choose the editor) but that doesn't matter. For me speed of typing is never critical.

why not just use a big ol' monitor with a smart TV box and plain Android TV? or, even better, build a HTPC with Plasma Bigscreen or Bazzite?

Because that would be a crap solution.

less crap than tons of buttons with region-blocked content, imho

Kate is such a refreshing change. Super responsive and fast under Asahi. It's the best dev environment I've worked with in a very long time. A few niggles with the switch, like it seems to assume Git but I'm using Fossil. I also haven't found a decent cheat-sheet for keyboard controls. I got duplicate block and move block working, and really enjoy the column editing, but still using cut for line delete. I think KWrit…

Yeah KWrite is a lite Kate. If you go through the settings, there's a Fossil checkbox, too :)

ah, that sounds hopefull thanks, although I must have something configured wrong because it still complains no .git directory.
