I’ve heard Flatpaks aren’t great at CLI tools, is that true ?
As a Nix user, I’m glad Flatpaks exist for other people, but I only ever use them when a package is not available from Nix directly. Seeing as Nix is literally the biggest package manager out there, it’s a pretty rare occurrence.
You can set it up to compile all your software yourself with the exact options you want, just like Gentoo. Not how most people use it, but still, NixOS can fulfill some of the same roles as Gentoo, they are very comparable.
It sounds like a cool distro but I don’t see any advantages compared to NixOS, aside from maybe the option to make it more minimal for constrained environments.
When I used Fedora for a while with my 2070 I had literally no problems at all 🤷🏻♀️
Check your games on ProtonDB
The only games in my library that don’t work are entirely the publisher’s fault for blacklisting Linux in their anticheat, and it’s very few games even then.
alias ed=$EDITOR
Extremely convenient on a qwerty keyboard.
This should probably be a default nowadays. Does even a single person here use the real ed ?
alias ed=$EDITOR is my most used alias by far.
ganis :
git add -A && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure -j$(nproc)
Everyone who uses nixos probably has a similar alias set x)
Does Micro have normal keyboard shortcuts instead of the weird ones from nano ?
I don’t like M$, but this is my new number one recommendation for new programmers. It gets them to stay within the command line, while having the normal shortcuts they’re used to from using a computer already.
I love Vim, but it’s a chore to learn when you’re also learning programming on top. Emacs is even worse, it tricks you by being a non-modal GUI, but your keyboard shortcuts all do something new and slightly insane now.
The most important thing about social media is the first word : it’s social.
This sounds like a technically impressive medium, but if it fails to get a healthy community (which means, not just 4chan bros) then it will die.
NixOS.
