  • Personally I'm grateful to not need 3rd party packages

  • Most maintainers are volunteers, but not all volunteers are maintainers...

    Besides the obvious non-package work, if you make a single pr for some random package and never again, you're not a maintainer.

    The Nix ecosystem is developed by many volunteers and a few paid developers, maintaining one of the largest open source software distributions in the world.

    demanding work that we cannot expect to be done by volunteers indefinitely.

  • being pale skinned is not ever sufficient to actually be white

    Slavs aren't white, can you guess why? It has something to with the etymology of the word slave.

  • It's an obvious vector for malware, arch by default doesn't come with it, and users have been warned the entire time to check pkgbuild. There's nothing fishy, it's just that arch has enough users to be worth it to hit it.

  • Nicotine never was the worst thing, health wise at least.

  • is it worth learning golang?

  • I mean it's a language specifically designed to be easy and quick to learn. Even if you don't work with primarily, you'll find it useful for stuff like cli programs, advanced scripts(instead of python), small services, etc.

  • About to throw my first install party, any tips?

    Jump

  • It was either failing before grub or wasn't in the list, I can't remember now but I know rollbacks were not a possibility. If I remember correctly I had to reboot once after the install, then update, and then reboot once again to have the updated system boot.

    This issue can happen with any distro, though rare.

    I've used Linux for about 15 years, and that was the only time a fresh install crapped out on me.

  • Fedora is great, but it's also the only distro I've had fail to boot after a fresh install and update.

    Mint for sure. The slower release cycle is definitely better for nontechnical people, but show them how to install flatpaks from the app store.

  • Damn, the last time I used it I could've sworn it was just arch with a wizard and some custom dotfiles. Although that was like 3 years ago.

  • I never actually used archinstall, only manual and derivatives which were essentially arch with a wizard.

  • Wait, so does the dotfile thing mean the out of the box experience will be degraded?

    It seems they're not changing the default configs, but instead adding an additional config that's actually usable straight from the box. example video

  • /facepalm moment for not thinking of that at the time

    But it's lacking organisation and modularity. For example let's say you need programming packages on one device, gaming ones on another, and general ones on both. It's pretty easy to set it up with hm, and you can disable specific modules when you don't need them (for example you rarely need to use a certain language and supporting packages).
