In case it can save you few more lines, here is what I use to automatically save the cursor position when a buffer is closed:

autocmd!
autocmd BufReadPost * call setpos(".", getpos("'\""))
augroup END
]]

I've looked at the pull requests again and realized that this feature was already requested in June 2024.

In the absence of response to this ticket, the hope to see it implemented is pretty low though :( Not sure how I can fully benefit of this plugin then...

When setting up your SSD, don't forget to use TRIM to preserve it if possible. See the Arch wiki. You can follow it even if you use another distro.

That's why he get me: minimalism is my motto ;)
Another suggestion: Magic Earth for navigation Also curious to know if we'll see you on mastodon one day? (my client is Yuito btw)

Thank you for taking time to share this detailed feedback. Very useful!

We're exactly on the same page: "the tool is not the goal". The only difference may be that I see chosing options for an app as options for a tool. If I want to cut wood or metal I need a different saw. Even though the tool is basically the same it doesn't serve the same purpose. Hence I configure options once and for all, like I would consider which hardware I need exactly in terms of use, ergonomic, power... before buying it.
I don't spend time tweaking the look of a tool because it's doesn't fit my approach of things anymore. As such I don't even use a DE. But I feel the need to build the right tool (i.e. system app) I need to perform a job as efficiently as possible while keeping the tool itself minimalist and as invisible as possible. On my daily use I have tools that I couldn't live without anymore but if you ask me a list I will either forgot them or put them at the bottom because I will not think about them right away since they became a second nature.

I certainly see the comfort of the out of the box approach and it can serve a lot of people. In my use case I just realize that - using the example above - it could be like using a wood saw on metal in some cases. It may work but not as good as you would expect to have the job done properly. Also, the fit them all approach means building an app with tons of options activated and I prefer to have available to me only the options I really need. The philosophy feels less bloated to me and I'm not overloading my system with stuff I'll never use. It's more time consuming at first to chose the right app but with time it became quick enough and it definitely save me way more time in the long run when I use my system.

I've been biased in my interpretations because of professional deformation where we use "should" as "you have to do it unless exceptional situations that prevent you to comply".

Very nice explanation. I also recognize this point for NixOS.After reading so many comments, they all confirm what I've read before and I may realize that my real problem is already having a stable system which means not being in need for some "advanced" recovery options. That being said, I'm still curious and will continue testing NixOS.

Not that I really have too much spare time but I do enjoy learning and tweaking NixOS. With its current development state, things are changing a lot so it can keep me busy for months. That's probably what I was mostly looking for: another toy to play with. Will see if I actually switch to NixOS at some point. Thanks again for your feedback.

Great feedback, thanks! I've appreciated being able to replicate my system in NixOS within only few hours. I found NixOS actually pretty easy to take a grasp on, though I still didn't look at flakes in detail. You spot on the reason why I'm using Arch and a bunch of applications you can tweak to perfectly meet your own specific needs (neovim, neomutt, bspwm, rofi...).

I love spending time to config them and to learn new things. This is basically why I'm interested in NixOS as well. Being entirely satisfied with Arch and not being a distro hopper, the fact that I installed NixOS means a lot to me but now I need tangible reasons to fully move to it. Maybe time will help me in my decision.

All the great feedback in response to this post so far confirm how great NixOS is and I had no doubt about that. I may realize what it can bring me after some weeks of serious use. Thanks again for the time spent to write your feedback, very much appreciated
