i was aware that homebrew works on linux, i just assumed people would use apt/dnf/guix/whatever since it seems superior to me; but then again, i hardly ever touch homebrew besides my employer provided mac.

what applications does immutable macos have?

On immutable distros, you can still mess up your flatpak packages, … homebrew packages …

wait: there’s immutable versions of macos?

please keep us updated; i plan on taking this plunge in the near future.

pseudo-Cm

what’s this?

came here to say something like this and it makes me wish i should stick my head in the sand like this.

probably some social media giants run Linux or UNIX-like OSs, too.

i would be surprising if most didn’t.

agreed, Debian’s rock solid for 99.99% of people.

You just have to also accept the fact that if you’re doing something niche like VR gaming or using weird third-party custom hardware or something Debian sucks ass.

i’ve worked on predominantly debian based infrastructure professionally for multimedia companies in the last 10ish years, so it’s a little bit funny to me that og flavored debian doesn’t do this, but it clearly can if you can afford an army of developers to create it for you.

entire multi-billion dollar revenue streams literally exist because of debian doing this and doing it well, but everyone popularly and unquestioningly believe that you can’t do it on linux. lol

The only problem I have is that CTRL+V get intercepted by the terminal before it get to vim. That means that block visual mode is not available to me

this was was my biggest gripe with wsl because i do 95% of my work with the vim and bash and i’m saddened to learn that it hasn’t gotten better.

i used to stare at them intently motionless and in complete silence and they knew that this was coming. lol

rest in peace my sweet angels

boring is awesome if you need to just work all the time and for a long time.

i used to have to do something like this and the soulcrushing happens when you get yelled at by several people because a sentence is 61 characters instead of 60 or a logo isn’t the exact shade of a gold.

i also keep forgetting the year has changed and it keeps happening more often as i age.

i keep thinking that 2005 was only 5ish years ago. lol

… back when their employees actually had a voice.

their employees are highly reactionary and flew into fits of mass rages every time they suspected a contractor might be enabled to work on software alongside them.

the only thing that quelled the masses of pitch forks and torches were the leadership.

this was back in 2007 so i’m sure it’s changed now.

the last time i used wsl on a work windows laptop, windows fucked up the virtual disk drive and everything in it was gone.

this was about 5 years ago, so hopefully it’s gotten better.

i knew i recognized the name somewhere earlier today when i learned about it, but i couldn’t remember how until i saw this; i was forced to use it because of windows a while back.

i remember liking it too.

do your setting persist when you stick to a new phone?

it’s strange to see a nation that popularly keeps alive the memories of being at the receiving end of colonialism act like a colonizer themselves.

is that a pinebook?

my /boot is also 2 gigs and i’m glad you shared this; thank you!

you should also know that it’s a double edged sword if you go with linux first vendors because you’ll likely never learn from resolving your own technical difficulties that arise as a result of hardware that is not 100% linux compatible.

i learned so much from putting linux on my windows & mac hardware; that it enabled me tow work on linux professionally for the last 21 years. switching to linux first hardware 5-ish years ago made my knowledge of people facing issues atrophy, so i bought windows first hardware to re-acquaint myself.
