• LTS Linux distros are not good for desktop usage and terrible for beginners. (And for servers too but a bit less ig).
• The current distribution model of Linux apps is garbage. The concept of package maintainers, in most cases, is just redundant, duplicated work.
• Bash is horrible and relying on it for anything else than personal scripts gets messy really fast.
• Having a standard “platform” in Linux is key.
• SystemD is actually good, not perfect but very powerful.
• Apps not using Portals are a crime.

Obviously written by NixOS sectarian.

Surprised to see Java that high tho. I have been using it for uni stuff and it’s not bad.

Feels overly complex on some areas (gradle??) and I am not a fan of OOP but still relatively good.

I literally almost failed a uni course bc how shitty python packaging is. And well, maybe I am lazy, but the horrors of daring to get fucking deps were too much.

Just use Julia ffs. 😭😭

Genuine question from a non native English speaker here: what’s wrong?

Literally tons of distros could be some lib.mkDefault nixos configs. And they would get a package manager improvement.

We already have NixOS, why anything else?

(Guix is cool too).

When the pluggings system drops it’s going to be wild.

Why recommend Telegram when, arguably, it’s no better than WhatsApp?

Tbh :) has a different vibe than 🙂.

This. (I actually use the orange ones but the same applies).

The orange ones are basically the same but better. I use theese on a daily basis because they are military grade:

• Cheap af.
• Found everywhere.
• Would survive a nuclear holocaust.
• It’s going to last longer than I.

Full metall you say? Damnn.

I didn’t know about this brand and now I have been pushed into extensive research of their whole lineup of mechanical pens.

The 800 looks amazing but I’ve heard some people complaining about the nib being a bit wobbly, is that true in your experience?

That’s vietnam level shit going on there lmao.

Despite not having tried any of them I guess I’ll pick #1 since it’s the most robust looking one.

Currently I use one from Bic which works well enough.

Mine’s are pointing 90° on the wrong direction.

They are dormant but I’ve warned that if they decide to start being funny I’ll be fucked. :D

Typst >>>>>.

But still, Word sucks ass.

I hace a Xenia sticker on a machine that enthusiastically runs SysD.

Probably the only thing I do.

There’s a dedicated 10th circle in hell for this people. As someone who runs a root-on-tmpfs system, PLEASE document which dirs your application is using.

It is a total pain, specially with non standar ones.

But tbf there are a lot of Linux devs who neither have read a single line of any Linux standard API.

XDG_DIR, Portals, Secrets, D-Bus, the Desktop file spec, Appstream… are there for you to read. 🥰

Definitely not in Europe. In Germany they have laws agains Nazi apology but I’m unsure of the specifics.

Spain recently passed a law to make ilegal all glorification of the fascist dictatorship and there’s still a foundation named after the dictator himself…
