That’s the whole point of stable distros, but people can’t distinguish “stable” from “reliable” so we get comments like “arch is really stable”.

Plasma has a cycle of releasing a bunch of new features and changes, and then squashing bugs every week when they discover them.

Debian is on a 2+ year release schedule, and the packages are frozen long before the release. So plasma might be either working fine, or be broken for 2+ years.

Fedora is semi-stable because it’s on a 4 month schedule, and AFAIK they don’t rush upgrading to new major plasma versions, so plasma works a lot better.

Generally from my experience, plasma works best on rolling distros, while it’s crap on stable ones. Stable DEs like xfce are incomparably better suited to stable distros.

Lazygit and magit

Don’t forget safari, the entirety of iOS userbase is forced to use it

While I agree with your point, this is more like signing a rental agreement allowing your landlord to enter your apartment unannounced and without you being present, and then crying about it when they do exactly that. I wouldn’t use hotmail as a throwaway account, let alone to develop the main Foss competitor of office.

You do realise religion is just an excuse?

Chrome and Firefox, VScode, Zoom and whatever other random crap

So chrome, Firefox, chrome, chrome, and probably more chrome

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.

And every package is added and maintained by volunteers.

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.

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.

I know, I was joking

But no shorter

“Quitting your job to make games” is just like quitting your job to write your novel

I think it’s actually worse since you can’t directly make money from the game while making it. You can stream for example, but it requires a completely different skillset.

Compare that to, for example, writers releasing chapters on royal road, getting some funding through patreon while writing (in return for advanced chapters), and quitting their jobs when the book sales pick up. Like yeah it’s still really hard to make good money, but the possibility of slowly progressing into full time writing is why people can try to do it.

EXTERMINATE?

like why does every font, except ubuntu, have these ugly af corners?

Not a font guy, but isn’t it just mimicking how humans use strokes to write?

It looks nicer, and it’s easier to read for me tbh.

Common Lisp on the other hand is more of a 1980s language where you can use a functional style some of the time, and with some pain.

Isn’t the main issue with it that you’re not forced to be functional? It’s supposed to be pretty good at it with the correct libraries.

Either way, you’d start by reading SICP

You really don’t want OP to learn lis

Inb4 Mozilla dies because the lead of the AI development division is the ex-ceo who followed up massive layoffs with doubling her multi-milion salary every few years.

I initially tried guix -> switched to nix with home-manager because it’s got a lot better repos -> installed all user packages through nix on Debian -> nixos

Before nixos I used flatpaks for some packages because nixgl seems abandoned.

Why are you even running arch at that point, for the DE updates?
