-<p>2023-04-13</p>
-<p>Everyone seems to be running some version of VSCode as their main editor these days. 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&#8217;t try to devour all of my machine&#8217;s available memory or spike my CPU.</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p><strong>Note</strong>: It&#8217;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&#8217;re using a beefier laptop or desktop&#8230;</p>
-</blockquote>
-<p>In case the title of this post didn&#8217;t make this obvious, my editor of choice is Sublime Text. It&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;t played around with it yet, I highly recommend giving it a try. At the very least, I guarantee you&#8217;ll be impressed with the editor&#8217;s performance and speed! [&#60;#1&#62;]</p>

-<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&#8217;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 &#60;YourUsername&#62; flatpak
-flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https:&#47;&#47;flathub.org&#47;repo&#47;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&#8217;s set that up.</p>
-<h2 id="creating-system-links">Creating System Links</h2>
-<pre><code>doas ln -s ~&#47;.local&#47;share&#47;flatpak&#47;exports&#47;bin&#47;com.sublimetext.three &#47;usr&#47;bin&#47;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 &#8220;IDE&#8221; applications to work best for me.
