What about adding the flags last?

rm deletethisrepo -rf

I care mostly about shell scripting, so I’m focusing on those bits. Via the HackerNews thread, mostly from a-french-anon:

• readlink and realpath
• find -print0, xargs -0 and read -d
• find -iname
• sed -E
• set -o pipefail
• $' ' strings

It’s probably the biggest deal for games running in xwayland

That’s a latrine. They’re talking about a fancy light fixture.

How is it compared to wofi?

More people should be like you.

Exact same. Sway’s 1.0 release was March of 2019, and it did everything I needed.

Even playing games on my desktop, Xwayland worked fine for me.

8GB memory + two Firefox profiles makes things difficult on my laptop.

Others have mentioned disk usage and desktop integration. There is some truth to them, but shared runtimes keeps disk uasge down (although worse than native apps). Desktop launchers now search /var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications by default, but I’m still having issues with themes in one or two niche apps.

Trust is the big one. The benefit of your distro’s packages is that they are maintained by a limited number of maintainers. Flatpaks have a much, much larger number of maintainers, which is where sandboxing comes in. Flathub now marks apps with lax permissions as “potentially unsafe”, which is a huge step in communicating this to the average user.

Most desktop apps can get away with having next to no access, as long as they support the appropriate XDG desktop portals.

Ultimately, your mileage will vary, as there are many classes of application which are ill-suited to being sandboxed. Program launchers, programming languages, IDEs, file managers are a few.

Move the keyboard to the floor

I used to use Strawberry, but my collection has grown enough that I can’t just sync it everywhere, so I use Jellyfin now. I still use Strawberry’s library management to move files into album artist/album/00 - track.ext though. Someday I’ll dig into id3v2 to just write a script instead.

You’re deluded if you think that “everybody” let alone a large minority of people say that the Linux desktop is “good, perfect and polished”.

If you use EndeavourOS, know that you shouldn’t ask for support on the Arch forums, its a policy they have.

I use the web version in Vivaldi, I’ve always had issues with video calls in Gecko.

I get your point. Since a .tar.zst file can be handled natively by tar, using .tzst instead does make sense.

Yep, my Sway config has

input type:touchpad natural_scroll enabled

I know; I’m not talking about ./. I put the slash outside the inline codeblock in the parent comment.

My shell is setup with a chdir hook to [[ -r. /.autoenv.zsh ]] && . ./.autoenv.zsh.

(Edit: Jerboa is bugged with “&” in codeblocks, that should be a “&&”, not &&)

(NOTE: A lot of my more interesting “aliases” are actually short functions, but I’m keeping myself to alias.)

Some of mine that I haven’t seen yet:

# Simple python calculator
alias pycalc='python3 -ic "
from math import *\nimport cmath as C
try:
    import numpy as np
except:
    pass
i, j = 1j, 1j
"'

# Defaults
alias cp='cp --interactive --reflink=auto'
alias gcc='gcc -fdiagnostics-color=auto'
# Lemmy doesn't handle ampersands in codeblocks correctly
alias rg='rg --max-columns=$((COLUMNS > 60 && ! ZSH_SUBSHELL ? COLUMNS - 30 : 0))'
alias rj='rg --json'
alias rm='rm -s'
alias rscp='rsync -azP --human-readable --info=flist0,progress2,stats1'
alias rust-c='rustc --out-dir build -O'

# Shorter forms

That would make my shell unusable, since some plugins use ./source.

I have it on Steam Deck since it can be launched with a CLI argument to force a 1280x800 window.

Vivaldi pretends to be Edge when visiting Bing to unlock GPT-4, and prefer that to Edge on my other devices. (Secondary to Firefox, ofc)
