• Trying to find the real MinGW

  Hi, I have been learning C++ recently using Visual Studio and Replit and wanted to switch to using a compiler with the windows command prompt. When I search up how to install MinGW there are multiple tutorials of indian people and other people who use totally different links and download pages in each video and I'm not sure which one to trust. Is msys2.org the correct website or is sourceforge or a different... Source: 12 months ago

• Getting “QT with MinGW support”?

  Apart from what other people already said, http://msys2.org/ is another easy-to-setup option. Source: over 1 year ago

• I Hate Windows!

  Also FYI: there’s a project called MSYS2 which derives from Cygwin and seeks to provide a proper set of Unix tools on Windows, including split: https://packages.msys2.org/package/coreutils. Source: over 1 year ago

• std::cout << "It's a pain";

  Still, it isn't a compiler. You also need to install the Visual Studio build tools, or GCC and/or Clang through MSYS2. Source: over 1 year ago

• Installing MinGW W64 with FFMPEG on Windows and fixing the weird "file downloaded incorrectly" error.

• WezTerm is a GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator

  Alacritty is not minimal in its memory consumption. Foot is probably the best wayland minimal terminal emulator with an average memory consumption of ~2mb per instance. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Anyone here use tiling window managers?

  Hi! HHKB user since 2004. Linux user since '95. I've been using tiling window managers for about 20 years. I've tried a few. Ratpoison first, then ion, then xmonad, then spectrwm (which is my favourite), but since I moved to wayland a couple of years ago, I've settled on sway (https://swaywm.org/). Meta-Return spawns a terminal (https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot, which is blazingly fast, using very little resources).... Source: over 1 year ago
