very niche but i think it deserves a mention: the Outer Wilds mod manager doesn’t just support Linux natively, but it even has a CLI version, and it’s up on AUR and Flatpak

as others have said though, r2modman/thunderstore manager also runs in an appimage and works perfectly well for games it supports, and MO2 and Vortex work more or less alright if they’re in the same prefix as your game or potentially even if they aren’t.

heads up, neither USSR nor China were ever communist

for Firefox there’s now Vimium-c and Tridactyl. personally using Vimium and its been great

yea this is probably the most annoying issue i’ve had on Arch. every time there’s a new version of Python, you’ll need to reinstall some python packages, usually the AUR stuff.

even all of that hype about memory safety and borrow checker you keep hearing aside, the actual coolest thing about Rust is how it does Traits instead of classes and that you can bind arbitrary data to enums

no, you read that correctly, theres currently 2 billion people in the US prisons :p

holy hell

far as I’ve heard, Mint can be iffy fhen it comes to games, mostly because they use an outdated kernel. I can also recommend something like Endeavor if the gamer in question has any knack for tech, or Nobara, which is made specifically for gaming by GloriousEgg, maintainer of ProtonGE

there is something very satisfying about running pacman -Syu at the end of the day and watching it update the repos, give you a neat list of packages to be upgraded, then see them downloading over all your threads with that little chomp chomp pacman animation, disappearing one by one, or a bunch at once, and then at the end it runs the hooks and you see that [1/23] fill up all the way to [23/23] in the span of a minute…

It’s like popping bubble wrap, but you have 8 hands and 8 bubble sheets and never try to pop the tame bubble twice

dont bother correcting apostrophes as its not a grammatical mistake, simply lazy typing. well never stop doing that no matter how much yall tell us not to, cuz it simply aint all that much of a problem

This looks like a Jinja template, so definitely supposed so be populated by something else first. Yaml is basically just a prettier Json so it wouldn’t support something like that section on its own.

All distros that switch will probably just symlink it to sudo i guess

You are not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Check Gentoomen Library and anarcho-copy, both have a huge curated list of books on everything, including networking.

My setup is Navidrome, Soulseek and MusicBrainz Picard, each hosted in a docker container.

Whatever music I can’t or don’t care to buy directly on Bandcamp i find on Soulseek. Then, I run the downloaded files through Picard which tags and renames them automatically for me. After which, I put them into the Navidrome directory, it picks them up and lets you stream it in a browser or any app that supports Subsonic servers. I use Feishin on my desktop and Symfonium on my phone for that.

Oh, I might be wrong on that part, sorry about that

If you’re on linux or bsd, look into ZFS. Insanely easy to set up and admin, fs-level volume management, compression and encryption, levels of RAID if you want them, and recently they even added phe option to expand your data pools with new drives. All of that completely userspace, without having to fiddle with expensive RAID cards or motherboard firmware.
