Queue any discussion of Wayland/Xorg, Systemd, flatpacks, snaps, distro choice, ~~Pipewire/Pulseaudio~~ (last one is easy, Pipewire ftw), Vim/Emacs, GPL/MIT, immutability, etc..
Cue* in this case. English sucks.
Thanks. Wrote cue first, but changed it because I got confused.
Hah yeah it's crazy. Anyway, zsh or death.
Fish is obviously superior (:
It's POSIX shell or nothing
Nvim > emacs
It begins
Tried Helix yet?
C++ mfs: Nvim <=> Emacs
Unless you're good at Emacs
How does Emacs in evil mode fit?
Nvim < Emacs + Vim keybindings (aka
evil).Apt is the superior package manager. Everyone else is wrong.
Lol
but does your package manager show a video game animation when you download a package? (pacman for life)
Pacman + yay is superior. pacman for most packages, and yay to use the AUR, where you can get pretty much anything that can be downloaded online, but as a package so that you can more easily manage what shit you've downloaded before but no longer need.
Until the package adding and removing entropy lits your whole system on fire and you have to untangle dependencies, purge keyring, flush your system and reinstall
Luckily that hasn't happened to me yet, though I'd say pacman is still far better than something like apt, even if you have to untangle dependencies.
Literally never heard of paru before now, I just went with yay, since it's better than manually
git clone-ing the aur package and also manually reviewing the PKGBUILD and then building it. I'll try it out and see how it is.xbpsFTWHave you tried out our lord and saviour
xbps?I think I only recognized like 5 words in that entire paragraph.
Wayland and Xorg are responsible for display, Systemd is an init system, flatpaks and snaps are containerized, cross-distro packaging formats, you know what a distro is, Pipewire and Pulseaudio are responsible for audio, Vim and Emacs are editors, GPL and MIT are open-source code licenses, I can't explain immutability.
Woah woah we're talking newbies here. Nano will serve you just fine until you wanna get fancy lol. (Although sometimes it needs to be installed first)
Go watch some Brodie Robertson and Distrotube
Y'know how they say its only the tip of the iceberg? Yeah this iceburg is probably larger than the entire planet
Since when is immutability controversial? Linus called out the Google patches as badly designed with massive code quality issues for good reason. Theo described OpenBSDs approach to it and it is truly a simply concept with good security ramifications.
