Hey #elixir peeps. Please tell me about what you're using for an LSP and formatter?

I'm using #helixEditor with elixir_ls. I assumed elixir_ls was also the formatter as well (aren't most LSPs also formatters?)

But it wasn't formatting. I've read to use mix.. which seems to work, but also seems to have a different opinion on syntax and lags a bit.

Just curious what the standard way to do this is

In 2026, I want to change my OS. I'm hesitating between

• Arch
• Devuan
• Gentoo
• Guix and
• Void
  

Things to consider:

• I've already installed and used Arch some years ago; I'm considering Artix, excluding the s6 init (I'm not prepared for this one);
• gentoo and Guix are probably the most complex distros1
• Void is certainly the most comfortable choice.
• It's to install in real hardware: Intel i5-7400 3ghz, ssd 1to, 32gb ram, nvidia geforce 1060 3gb. Yes, I want to play light videogames sometimes Main purpose would be to learn Linux, Web, writing MarkDown and Org, zettlekasten organisation, etc...

Just shared my WezTerm¹ configuration. It’s not very long and mostly just adds a few keyboard shortcuts that I find more ergonomically-pleasing, specifies light/dark themes and improves colour scheme consistency and also, if you use Helix Editor², automatically implements light/dark mode theme changes for it in line with the rest of the terminal.

Here‘s a little tip if you’re using (the latest version of) Helix Editor:

Add the following keybinding to your config (if you don’t use Ctrl+b for page up, that is; otherwise, change the key):

[keys.normal]
C-b = ":echo %sh{git blame -L %{cursor_line},+1 %{buffer_name}}"

Now, when you press Crtl+b in the editor, you’ll see the git blame for the line you’re on. Very useful for seeing which commit the line last changed in and, for teams, who committed the change.
