Yeah, I’m used to NixOS — however, having to edit the config (instead of e.g. a package manager) is a common pain point I see when others use NixOS, and it often leads to them switching distros.

A pain point I’ve seen with NixOS for new users is the focus on editing files — how easy is it for her to install applications that way?

Debian is a stable distro and therefore tends to have less up-to-date packages.

Ubuntu added telemetry and forced snaps

Voyager:

Use a different client — Voyager has a cap on image height.

Have Alt+F bound to wrap the current command-line in a function definition

It’s equivalent to cp -r, but:

• the copy is read-only
• reuses unchanged files
• easier to share (btrfs sub send)

btrfs sub snap -r

The complicated instructions are probably because certain SMS clients don’t allow clicking URLs from contacts you’ve never sent messages to.

There’s even .deb, .rpm, flakes, whatever pacman uses, … that are just package files that copy to /bin/ for you, like .apk/.ipas.

Get enough zoom to change your near-clipping plane.

Probably a reference to Reddit’s “fourth comment” thing.

By the way, Lemmy also lets you update the post image itself.

My main branch is called HEAD.

Unless you’re on Voyager, in which case the image is already displayed before you click!

Yes, with --privileged. It’s totally safe. Trust me.

There’s a lot of docs in e.g. man bash.

Fish does history autocomplete, not Starship — you still have autocomplete using unconfigured Fish, and you don’t get autocompletion by enabling Starship for other shells.

(Tip: Most shells allow you to press Ctrl+R to interactively search through history, meaning you won’t have to open a separate file.)
