igorlogius,

I forsee the creation of another arch based distro that is specifically designed for vegans that will solve this problem

Kind of glad i dont have to worry about stuff like this anymore, but i do sympathize as a former debian user.

igorlogius, (edited )

well, with stuff like this i meant dpkg-reconfigure, since i switched to nixos where configuring and setting up basically means adding/editing a couple of lines in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix. For automatic system updates for example, i just had to add: system.autoUpgrade.enable = true; and done. Nicest way to configure and manage a system i’ve experienced yet.

igorlogius,

not really an issue with a few more lines of configuration


<span style="color:#323232;">nix.gc = {
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    automatic = true;
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    dates = "weekly";
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    options = "--delete-older-than 30d";
</span><span style="color:#323232;">};
</span>

piping JSON

github.com/jqlang/jq is a good option to deal with this

igorlogius,

insert uninstall bootloader meme

igorlogius, (edited )

valid argument - maybe jq isn’t always the best tool for the job … but i personally been happy with using it

igorlogius,

eh … this might create some interesting biases in the training data …

igorlogius, (edited )

eh … that plugin is likely easiest to install via your distros package manager … you dont have to compile it from source

edit: i was actually thinking about a different plugin: docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/…/start

Did we kill Linux's killer feature?

A few years ago we were able to upgrade everything (OS and Apps) using a single command. I remember this was something we boasted about when talking to Windows and Mac fans. It was such an amazing feature. Something that users of proprietary systems hadn’t even heard about. We had this on desktops before things like Apple’s...

Who does flatpak/snap benefit?

As a user, the best way to handle applications is a central repository where interoperability is guaranteed. Something like what Debian does with the base repos. I just run an install and it’s all taken care of for me. What’s more, I don’t deal with unnecessary bloat from dozens of different versions of the same library...

igorlogius, (edited )

There are a few runtimes which provide quite a few things already (for desktop and system integration) and there are a growing number of modules for other commonly used stuff, example ffmpeg (de/encoding) which other flatpaks can reuse. Also flatpak uses OSTREE to try and prevent duplication.

The more the devs work with it the better their packaging and bundeling is gonna get. At the moment it is new and they have to re-learn some things and not everything might be done in the best way possible, but that will improve with time.

And i think it benefits everyone. Devs and distro maintainers dont need to repackage, test and integrate stuff for all distors and users have stuff that has an almost 100% chance of working out-of-the-box that is also quicker with updates/fixes.

IMO, overall an improvement in comparision to the current state with deb/rpm/pkgs/… for userspace applications.

igorlogius,

planning an ‘All Snap’ desktop next year.

I wonder where all the users are gonna migrate

igorlogius,

I migrated recently and am pretty happy with it. Once you have everything in configuration.nix setup, its like you dont even need to think about your system anymore if you dont want to. Everything just works and will continue to work and can even easily be replicated onto another system in case of hardware failure. Just make sure to keep your /home on a seperate nas/raid/drive and a backup of your configuration and hardware.nix and your golden.

annotations are “spoken/thought/done” by the human.

igorlogius, (edited )

Yes, its not the “common” way to use it. But i think it works well enough, but just to be save i added some annotations.

Change my Mind! - I like the linux,but some things keeps me staying on Windows.

Recently, I switched from Windows to Linux, tried many distros, and ended up with the Ubuntu rolling-release. Things went well for some days, but I started facing some issues like printer issues, gaming performance issues, and overall Ubuntu performance issues. So, I switched to where it all started, which is Windows 10. Now...
