Hi Mike,
TDE dev here. I use Debian testing and TDE PTB as base but you can use any
distro you are familiar with, either in a VM or on a real computer. It
depends on your level of knowledge/confidence but go with a VM if you don't
want to risk breaking things while you are learning.
This is great insight - thank you! I might start with a VM or container just
in case. I'm using Debian as well.
I use neovim from Konsole, a bunch of tools, a few
plugins and a set of
scripts/aliases. It has its steep learning curve, but once you learn to
master it, you will be way way way way! more productive than in Kate.
Awesome! I use neovim as well so I guess I'll stick with that. What plugins do
you use most?
As for learning, the best way is to read code and
practice as much as you
can. Start small, maybe some simple GUI changes like adding a config option
for something and related logic. Then build over time and try to connect
the dots between the different part of the DE.
That's a great tip. Is it worth also looking through Gitea issues or just try
to scratch my own itch at this point?
There are mailing list and IRC chat rooms if you want
to reach out to the
devs, so don't be a stranger there :-)
Sounds good, I'll join and say hi!
