For about a week, every AUR check on Manjaro has looked like this:
Before chasing fancy shell prompts, make sure your session survives a disconnect. A resilient terminal matters far more than another zsh customization.
Tools like GNU screen, tmux, and Zellij keep long-running remote work alive when your SSH connection drops.
I’ve always appreciated one small detail in Manjaro: matray. As a long-time user, it feels like the distro respects my time by providing a simple tray app backed by a dedicated news source (https://manjaro.news/). Important announcements reach users through one official, consistent channel instead of expecting everyone to monitor forums, blogs, or social media.
Nx 23 is out, and buried in the performance section is the line that made me nod hardest: the daemon’s memory footprint on their own repo dropped from around 1.5GB to roughly 200MB — about a 7× reduction.
I wrote a three-part Jupyter series and still didn’t really get it until someone reframed it as discovery vs. execution — not “another IDE you use alongside VS Code,” but the step before VS Code when you don’t know what the code should be yet.
Updated Part 1 with that mental model.
Fresh Kubuntu install, a handful of common apps — and
snapd alone is already ~6 GB.If you install Mattermost on Manjaro via pacman/AUR — not Snap; the Snap build does not hit this — do not enable “Start app on login” in Mattermost’s own settings.
Dear NX, are you going to update to Angular 22? I’m waiting!
You may do apt dist-upgrade or yay or pacman -Syu everyday, but do you nvm install --reinstall-packages-from=current 'lts/*' too?
Who made this mega commit? I should fire him!

oops.
SpaceX locks in a $60 billion deal to buy Cursor (Anysphere). Someone call Elon Musk and tell him not to fuck it up — I only just got used to it.

Switching from GitLens to Git Blame and Git Graph was the right call; I was just keeping some bloatware out of habit.
Spent way too long debugging a “broken CLI tool” in Cursor… Turned out it wasn’t broken — it was Snap. Wrapper-based installs (like Snap) can quietly change how CLI tools behave inside IDE agents and scripts. Switched to a native package. Problem disappeared instantly.
Git 2.54 is another reminder that core developer tools still evolve in small but meaningful ways. Even when a release does not introduce flashy headline features, updates to Git can still affect everyday work through improved reliability, workflow polish, and bug fixes that shape how teams collaborate. For people who live in repositories all day, these incremental changes often matter more than they first appear.
Now that React is no longer under Meta and it’s “The React Foundation”, I think I should keep an eye on it next to Angular. No.
Prettier fixed the compatibility issue with Cursor.
This is a known issue with Prettier v12+. Cursor didn’t support ESM extensions until recently. The fix is already included in version 2.4

You wouldn’t build a React app just to crop a few images. You’d open an image editor.
Jupyter is the image editor of programming — interactive, immediate, disposable. Understand first. Build in your IDE later.
Just discovered Jupyter while browsing the most popular VS Code extensions. Read up on what it is and how people use it — and now I feel like half the successful folks out there have been quietly running a handy tool this whole time while keeping it hidden from me.
Manjaro 25.1 “Anh-Linh” just breathed new life into my ASUS Vivobook Pro 15 (Ultra 9 + RTX 3050 + Intel Arc) — battery now lasts noticeably longer and games run way smoother, all with zero extra tweaking. Everything finally feels right out of the box.
Angular v21 is out! 🥳
