Great list! Thanks for sharing!

Better UI consistency. It’s always really annoying when you have your nice dark theme and a bright white page pops out of nowhere and fry your eyes.

For ease on the eye, keep everything black on white, and turn down screen brightness if the environment is dark.

I beg to slightly differ, but it’s a good take overall:

• Aeon Desktop or Fedora Silverblue, any sane immutable system, really
• Zig + Rust + Scheme / Clojure
• systemd,
• wayland,
• pipewire,
• gtk,
• Gnome,
• nano / gedit / whatever y’all are using instead of glorious Emacs
• flatpak,
• distrobox
• light mode

Aeon Desktops it is

Aeon FTW

Aeon is the way

Love the light on that shot! I hope you’ll keep going with the hobby!

Here are a few things:

• “Kit lens” such as this 18-55 of yours are typically not that great. It really depends what you plan to shoot, but going with a prime lens (50mm f/1.8), if you can afford it, or something vintage (Helios) can be a great experience; also for “forcing” you to shoot manual, as other advised.
• Great to see you are on Linux! I have no idea about the webcam stuff. I also didn’t had luck trying to use a Sony camera myself, but I’m guessing if the proprietary software doesn’t work, the only option is to get a capture card for your PC.
• For editing, I strongly recommend Darktable, also as advised before!
• Shooting manual is rewarding; shooting “blind” (idk if there is a specific word for that), where you estimate the exposure “by hand” is a lot of fun imo, and very forgivable on digital camera! If you can, give a shot at the “Sunny 16 rule” technique. To me, it makes shooting outside very relaxing since I don’t have to care about the camera settings that much once it’s figured out.

Have fun, but beware! It’s a deep, deep rabbit hole.

Always love to see article of non programmer people using Linux or Emacs!

pfetch anyone ?
