I don’t know about its derivatives, but Mandriva had something similar.

The Default Country, I guess

LaTeX and ConTeXt are both macros for TeX. LyX is a graphical editor which outputs LaTeX.

I didn’t see it until I read your comment

Actually, PulseEffects has been renamed into EasyEffects and is PipeWire only now

• Fish. Much, much saner defaults.
• I am writing #!/usr/bin/env sh for dead simple scripts, so they will be a tiny bit more portable and run a tiny bit faster. The lack of arrays causes too much pain in longer scripts. I would love to use Fish, but it lacks a strict mode.
• No, why would I?
• I used to share all my dotfiles, scripts included, but I was too afraid that I would publish some secrets someday, so I stopped doing that. For synchronizing commands, aliases and other stuff between computers I use Chezmoi.
• To use Fish instead of fighting with start up time of Zsh with hundreds of plugins
• Always use the so-called “strict mode” in Bash, that is, the set -euo pipefail line. It will make Bash error on non-zero exit code, undefined variables and non-zero exit codes in commands in pipe. Also, always use shellcheck. It’s extremely easy to make a mistake in Bash. If you want to check the single command exit code manually, just wrap it in set +e and set -e.
• Consider writing your scripts in Python. Like Bash, it also has some warts, but is multiplatform and easy to read. I have a snippet which contains some boilerplate like a main function definition with ArgumentParser instantiated. Then at the end of the script the main function is called wrapped in try … except KeyboardInterrupt: exit(130) which should be a default behavior.
• Absolutely not a bad practice. If you need to use them on a remote server and can’t remember what they stand for, you can always execute type some_command. Oh, and read about abbreviations in Fish. It always expands the abbreviation, so you see what you execute.

Go to a therapy

I don’t have the “Used space” column, probably because I have quota disabled. I managed to find out using btdu, that the snapshot 1137 takes ~8.3 GiB.

I cannot delete it using that command, because it is marked with “+” which means it is the “btrfs default subvolume”, according to snapper manual. I wonder if there is still a way to get rid of it.

No, I think they meant that you get better resource usage when you install an app as a Flatpak instead of a system package. You get the same benefit in a traditional distro too, if you use Flatpaks, it’s just that immutable distros kind of force you to use them.

Don’t use the NVIDIA installer, as it conflicts with the package manager. Use the nvidia-kernel-dkms package from the official Debian repository

Ventoy is a godsend in that case. If you have a big enough USB stick, you can just put all distros you wanna try on it

Well, I wouldn’t really say that it’s used as a Windows replacement at the company I’m working at, because all the business stuff is still being done using Windows, but almost all developers are using Linux. I was even allowed to replace Ubuntu with Arch, because I was annoyed by outdated packages. Because of the higher freedom, I can even tolerate the slightly smaller pay rate and benefits that I could earn elsewhere.

We are mostly working on EDA tooling.

The current Marshal of the Sejm is a showman. He was a host of the Polish version of Got Talent. He often says funny retorts and is less uptight than other Marshals. Some even call the live stream “Sejmflix” now.

But also members of the previous ruling party, PiS, are like… super stupid. I don’t know if populist parties are like that everywhere, but PiS politicians often say things so ridiculous, that they are just funny. Well, they weren’t so funny, when they had a majority.

Why not just install NVidia drivers using your package manager?

I am using the Xbox One controller. I had to pair it with Windows once to fix a connection problem, but now it’s problem-free. I’m pretty sure that the problem and solution was described on Arch Wiki but I can’t find it now. Basically it was stuck on disconnecting and connecting again until Windows didn’t update its firmware

I switched to Tidal after Spotify suddenly killed the API libspotify was using.

It takes a while for Tidal to “learn” what kind of music I like. I think Spotify got it sooner. Now the recommendations are pretty good.

I hate that they copied the weird queue management from Spotify. What can’t I just tell the player to play another album after the one that is currently playing finishes? It surprises me it is not a more common compliant.

It supports Typst now? But it is basically a programming language

Meanwhile, I’m still not able to achieve smooth, tear-free gameplay on No Man’s Sky on Wayland. Both on GNOME and KDE 🫤

I was surprised when I learned that some people want their tearing back 😆

I much prefer wireless headphones, because I keep breaking every plug. I even tried soldering them, but that ended in a catastrophe lol. That being said, I recently lost my wireless pair and had to pick my old K450. Now I’m grateful that I picked a phone with a headphone jack. I wasn’t even checking if it has one while buying.
