Honestly if you’re not planning on programming, why should you need to know how to use the terminal?

I get that it is incredibly useful, but I don’t think it should be a requirement for anyone just trying to use their PC. I think the prevalence of Linux terminal workflows is just a reflection of the user base: mostly coders.

Oh my god finally. Can’t wait for this to hit nixpkgs.

Linus needs to chill. Let him Cook.

Oof, that’s unfortunate. I can’t say I’ve run into this problem though.

5. Yes I hate this so much.
6. Use a better window manager.
7. Use a better web stack.
8. Don’t most browsers support this?
9. https://wormhole.app/

And here I am trying to convince my sales team that supporting a workflow where users run our app with sudo is a bad idea.

What are you talking about? FAFO obviously stands for “fill asshole full of”. Like FAFO dicks. Or FAFO pennies.

I probably can’t give a good technical comparison of the power of git reflog vs jj op log, but I find jj op log much easier to use.

can be nicer

Understatement. It solves almost every problem I’ve ever had with git.

1. No more destructive commands. jj undo or jj op restore can always put you back into a good state.
2. Merge conflicts can be ignored until you want to resolve them.
3. No “unstaged files” to deal with. Just keep your .gitignores up to date and jj automatically tracks new files.
4. Rebasing and patch management is just incredibly simple.
5. It actually has a nice default view of the commit graph.

I used to use StackedGit for a while before switching to Jujutusu. While stg is nice, I think jj is a huge improvement.

I’m perfectly happy to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it’s mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.

My biggest shortcoming at the moment is my NAS is also my gaming PC. It’s pretty inefficient to have that on all the time. But I haven’t had the time to build a dedicated NAS.

I mean, yes, that’s how it should be. Refactor it before implementing new features.

I think what many people really need to feel confident switching to linux is an expert who is willing to guide them through it and offer support.

The DIY install guide is a joke.

Honestly I have no idea what the main point of this video is.

EDIT: I watched it again. I think they’re basically saying:

Stop worrying about the wrapping paper and bow that Linux comes in, and start worrying more about the actual desktop Linux platform.

I don’t think we have to choose one over the other though. And I don’t think it’s a waste of time to make the experience of managing software packages and customization better. I’m not necessarily talking about “ricing” your desktop. There are legitimate reasons to prefer certain software modules over others, e.g. window managers and compositors.

It’s also pretty annoying to hear them downplay the effort that goes into package management and configuration when it’s one of the main technologies that goes into crafting Linux images for various environments e.g. servers and embedded systems. Desktops are actually a small minority of Linux systems.

So I guess I only agree that it would be nice to have more investment in the desktop software. But there’s far less incentive for companies to invest in desktop software when developers are happy on MacBooks and the products they’re building are mostly web services. There are a handful of companies building desktop Linux software, but it’s slow going.

Seriously, they’re just gonna put the geometric mean of all benchmarks and claim that means anything? Maybe it means something for people who don’t care at all about what their most performance-sensitive workloads are.

ntopng has all of that. I’m currently hosting it on my home router.
