Narwhalrus,

Remind me how to do this, please. I always forget this part…

Narwhalrus,

Just curious, if Marianne doesn’t get the Democratic nomination do you still plan on voting for the Democratic nominee?

Regardless of your feelings about Harris, (I have similar feelings) you must recognize that having her as president would be, by far, the lesser evil when compared to Trump especially if you’re concerned about excessive imprisonment / decriminalization of marijuana.

Narwhalrus,

Yeah. My first smartphone was a OnePlus One. That thing was great. Back then they were coming in at half the price of the bigger flagships with no shitware. Not the case anymore unfortunately.

Narwhalrus,

Yeah. Back in the day my first smartphone was the one plus one. That was back when they were half the price of the flagships. It’s not that way anymore, unfortunately.

Narwhalrus,

Im not sure the software center being half baked is even the real problem.

One of the nice things about Windows is that you dont need a central, curated, repository for software. You can google the thing you want and just download an msi/exe of the latest stable version and, 99.9% of the time, leading back to your first point, it will just work.

Narwhalrus,

Why do you think its bad? From a secruity standpoint its obviously not great, but its undeniably more convenient than running a curl command to pull in a third party .repo file, yum update and yum install to get something that isnt easily available in my base repos.

Narwhalrus,

Yep. I use both quite a bit. Chocolatey is great!

The point Im trying to make is package managers are better suited for developers and the lack of a great alternative for installing software on the distros I’ve used is not helping with the mass appeal of Linux.

I could be wrong here as I’ve never tried any of the “home computer” distros (mint, ubuntu).

Narwhalrus,

This is what prevented me from using podman, unfortunately. That and the setup for devcontainers in vscode wasnt exactly seamless.

Unfortunate since their windows support is great.

Narwhalrus,

I am but I’m very quickly finding out I have nothing to contribute.

Narwhalrus,

Look… We’re just here to boost numbers until the interesting people show up.

Narwhalrus,

Are there any you’d recommend over Jerboa?

Narwhalrus,

You need a space between your ‘#’ and text for markdown headings (unless you wanted to do it that way in which case ignore me). Great post!
