But not me. I find VSCode to be too bloated for my needs - not to mention being built on top of electron instead of <em>native</em> code. I prefer running programs that don’t try to devour all of my machine’s available memory or spike my CPU.</p> -<blockquote> -<p><strong>Note</strong>: It’s important to remember my personal machine is a ThinkPad X201 with only 6GB of RAM (plan to upgrade to 8GB soon!). Obviously your mileage may vary if you’re using a beefier laptop or desktop…</p> -</blockquote> -<p>In case the title of this post didn’t make this obvious, my editor of choice is Sublime Text. It’s fast, has a robust plugin ecosystem, and a very friendly community of users. Because of its popularity, troubleshooting any issues you might encounter becomes much easier with the amount of information freely available online.</p> -<p>The only minor downside is that it isn’t <em>fully</em> open source. Personally, I think it is well worth buying a license directly from the developers to support their efforts.</p> -<p>If you haven’t played around with it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. At the very least, I guarantee you’ll be impressed with the editor’s performance and speed! [<#1>]</p> -<h2 id="one-small-problem">One Small Problem…</h2> -<p>Sublime is precompiled against glibc and Alpine uses musl. This makes things a little difficult. Luckily we can get around this roadblock by falling back on flatpak (which is unfortunately still locked at version 3 for Sublime).</p> -<p>You’ll need to install flatpak, give your current user permission to install flatpak apps, and then install Sublime.</p> -<p>(The following snippets assume you are using <code>doas</code>. If you are using <code>sudo</code>, be sure to swap accordingly)</p> -<pre><code>apk add flatpak -adduser <YourUsername> flatpak -flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo -</code></pre> -<p>Congrats. You now have setup <code>flatpak</code> on your machine! Next we install Sublime Text:</p> -<pre><code>flatpak install flathub com.sublimetext.three -</code></pre> -<p>You could stop now and simply open Sublime anytime by running the following command in your terminal:</p> -<pre><code>flatpak run com.sublimetext.three -</code></pre> -<p>This works perfectly fine but I find it a little cumbersome. I would much rather open my programs directly through dmenu. Let’s set that up.</p> -<h2 id="creating-system-links">Creating System Links</h2> -<pre><code>doas ln -s ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/com.sublimetext.three /usr/bin/sublimetext -</code></pre> -<p>Now that those directories are linked, simply open dmenu and start typing <code>sublimetext</code>. Done and done. No more terminal commands needed to open Sublime!</p> -<hr/> -<p>1. I am aware that using a terminal-based editor such as vim or emacs would be even <em>more</em> efficient. For my own personal use I find more classical “IDE” applications to work best for me. -</p> -<footer role="contentinfo"> - <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> - <ul id="menu"> - <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> - <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> - <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> - <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> - <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> - <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> - <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> - <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> - <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> - <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> - </ul> - <small> - Built with <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/barf">barf</a>. <br> - Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> - Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> - The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. - </small> -</footer>
