"Anyone can download the app, but free users will be given a 14-day trial to test drive it.’

So it’s only for premium users ?

Me waiting for Vhyrro to put up another Neovim video. It doesn’t take too long but I hate waiting ugh

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

I did an experiment where I used Distrobox for many apps not available on Debian. I installed an Arch distrobox and exported the packages. I found that it works great with simple programs, but I run into a few issues when using more complex programs. Jellyfin Media Player for example tended to have a memory leak and have a core dump on the desktop whenever it is closed. It uses twice as memory as the Flatpak for some reason. I had the same issue with Stremio which is also a video streaming app. For command line things it’s mostly fine. But this too can get tricky. I tried to use Neovim (Debian’s is a bit old) in the Arch distorbox. The issue is that if you need plugins that require some dependency with a given version then you have to also install those and export them which makes things messy. For example you may have a version of Nodejs on your Debian install but you’ll need to install Nodejs on the distorbox too and export it. It’s the same with many packages like that. You’ll run into some issues and waste time trying to figure out where is it coming from. Is it your machine or the distorbox? I ended up just building from source. Overall it’s a great project and might work for some software that you need. But it’s not something you can always rely on for everything. The app devs are not testing for that specific use case. It’s so great for testing and installing stuff and then destroying when you don’t need it anymore.

The Arabic “muakhirah” means something like “the behind”. Funny enough, it shares some roots with the word “muta’akhir” which means “being late” and “akhir” which means “the latest”. It’s polite and used even in some dialects to just refer politely to it. Every dialect though has other specific words that are more vulgar. Some are different in every country. Egyptians would use “Tiz” to refer to it and Moroccans would use the more vulgar “Zok”. Middle Eastern countries also often use “Tiz”.

That’s a bad analogy. A browser with 5 tabs is not like having 5 different browsers open.

I was so disappointed at Jerry Seinfel’a stance on the whole thing though. Which makes this meme ironic

Had me at “References >> 5 years old Chris Titus Tech YouTube video”

Software information says you’re already using Fedora ? Do you mean you want to switch distros ? If so, it’ll be useful to say what you’re looking for and why Fedora didn’t fulfill those needs so we can recommend alternatives.

When installing Debian, if you choose to enable a root account then sudo is not installed by default and your user isn’t added to the sudo group. Next time try to opt for not enabling the root account to have a similar experience to other distros. Debian does this doe security reasons but it’s annoying for users used to a certain way of doing things. Many distros just disable root account by default so you don’t see that issue.

I think EF channel made a video recently covering some foundations while installing Arch. Maybe it’s close to what you’re looking for

What framework do you actually use ? Most programmers use Ubuntu or Debian and I don’t see how you need something so up to date and on the edge? Apart from some specific cases, most people do not need newer packages.

But why is up-to-date always good though?I get it if you actually need the new version but that’s rare though. There’s a reason that critical infrastructure relies on more stable, older and tested packages. In the industry and where the money actually is, older is generally seen as better and more mature. For example the whole drama of RedHat with Centos Stream happened because people don’t want to use upstream Centos Stream because it’s the testing ground for RHEL. I am at a stage where I prefer older packages. The new and shiny doesn’t mean it’s better.

Well, Arch is not inherently better, it depends on your needs. If you want up-to-date packages and don’t mind the do it yourself approach you’ll love Arch. I’ve used Arch for a few years and learned a lot from it. I love the minimalism. Now I switched to a minimal install of Sway on Debian because I just want a tried and tested stable system. I am at a point of my life where I want a really boring install. Instead of tinkering with the system I use it as a base to learn more on the server side, and learn more coding, etc

Flatpaks are okay but they take too much space

Will that be bug for bug compatible with RHEL ? I am still confused by this news

I think recently IMDB went full evil and asking you to sign up to see episodes list of a show. This affects the front end and it can’t access episode lists. I just tried it with Doctor Who

I moved to Vlemmy and made it my official account to help spread the load. it’s sad that it went down without any explanation and I lost all things I subbed to there
