- Docker to start IntelliJ and access remotely from my Laptop, will have to tunnel. Hm, I should give this a try. I was not sure if Docker+GUI goes well.
- Valid points, completely forgot about that part, and even with installation script, I manage to waste a good amount of time downloading and setting things up.
Question, I use VirtualBox, but I feel it's kind a laggy sometimes, What do you use? Any suggestion on performance improvements?
- I would say, Claude is a proprietary software after all, No?
- Yes, but it requires JetBrain running on the client too.
- Wondering if it would be a good idea to setup a VM with this. Setup remote connection, and intellij. Just have a script to clone it for a new project and connect from anywhere using a remote app.
It will increase the size of the VM but the template would be smaller than a full blown OS
Aside from dev containers, what are other options? I'm not able to run intellij on my laptop, is not an option
I use Nvim to ssh into my computer to work, which is fine. But really miss the full capacity of intellij

- One use case, when doing unit tests, Docker containers, would make it too expensive with many tests. SQLite's type checking is far less strict than Postgres, which would not catch errors that would occur the real database due to type mismatch.
Having something like this, that I can quickly spawn and know, I am getting exact behavior as prod database would be a lifesaver!
- Well, you can simply use `Meta + H` to hide the window too.
- Workspace being froze or causing issue, is just the symptom of the actual problem. It's not the workspace are the problem. So, maybe you should investigate the underlying issue.
Which version of Gnome are you using? Older version of Gnome had an issue with workspace switch, which has been fixed over a year ago.
You do realize, Surface Pro 3 is a 10 year old laptop, which only have 4GB of RAM, and iGPU, and I have opened up 14 workspace, with multiple applications. And, obviously it had some lag, but it never became unusable.
- To be honest, I do not like the dock either, but for different reasons.
But, it doesn't waste any space at all. Because it's always hidden, unless you trigger the overview.
- I can assure you, It's not about organization, not for me at least.
I just can't stand too many windows open in a single workspace, I get anxious, and close window, and then I close an important window and get lost.
With workspace, I don't have to close any window, go to another workspace, and keep working. If I remember something, on some other window/app, I can just move it to the current workspace.
So, now come to the point with too many window, traversing them become a huge pain. So, for that, I use `rofi` with window list option, so, I can just fuzzy search and jump to any window.
Switching by search is absolutely must if you are working in workspace and have too many windows.
I try to keep my projects in separate workspaces, and terminals related to the project in secondary monitors, and IDE on the primary, that's all organization I have
- Well, I'll do a small experiment, working on my Surface Pro 3 (Yes, you read that right) which I am using as a Thin client to my desktop.
Just opened 14 workspace on it. Opened up terminals, text editor, disk usage tool on all the workspace.
gnome-shell is sitting on 154mb, and Firefox is 1.7GB. And I am not seeing any unacceptable performance degradation at all.
Put them in same workspace, memory usage seemed to increase slight to 168mb but no unacceptable lag.
I put all the window back on individual workspaces again, now memory usage went down to 163mb
- In Gnome, the top bar stays in the Primary monitor only, and worse, even the app switcher always displays on Primary monitor, NO MATTER which monitor you are in! Which is absolutely infuriating. I can't imagine how messy the Global menu could be in a multi monitor setup. Why would one want that pain!
- Well, is it logical, if you buy an EV, and then complain it does not sound like a sports car?
- Was never a fan of Desktop icons, nor dash or dock. I use none. And I feel they just adds clutter. Only reason I have the top panel visible, because I need to see the time. Heh.
- You don't move windows that you do not need right now to other workspace. You move to a new workspace with the window you are working on. Which is more logical, and workspace are cheap, and quick to navigate to.
There are even extensions, that opens new windows to a new workspace automatically.
But of course, I have few complaints about how multi-monitor workspace are handled in Gnome, I prefer how i3 handles workspace.
- Which can simply be achieved by switching to another Workspace. The concept is not much different. Just slightly different presentation.
- If you are okay with terminal based one's, Yazi: [https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/] is pretty nice.
Yes, I would love that in Nautilus, but I'm not very depended on GUI for managing files, so not a big deal for me.
- Ah, bicycles, something that I love so much. Yes, agreed, someone who never rode will never realize how amazing it is feel the air in your face, the gentle sound of the tire rolling. I miss it so much.
But, when you keep changing your bikes, and start fiddling with the mechanics of it, you forget, what made it worth in the first place! What was the thing that gave you the pure joy.
PS: Using nvim and IntelliJ(Ultimate) side by side is for a personal reason. I have to be away from my main desktop for a really long time. So have to SSH into my desktop using a Surface Pro 3 (Running Linux) to work. It's a really portable setup, and works well as a thin client. And it is an experiment to fully utilize CLI tools, to get my work done.
