MyNameIsRichard, in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?
@MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml avatar

Fedora Core. It had so many problems updating. That would have been in the mid 2000s so it may have improved since then.

Still, in "Combokeys" instead of hotkeys. [Feature/new command suggestion]

I think you can already do this in one shortcuts, not sure of any standalone program that does, if definably accidentally bond like Ctrl+d, Ctrl+s to screenshot before

toastal, in Why do you use the terminal?

I can use Fish’s history to jog my brain on actions I don’t quite remember. Remembering a sequence of screen menus to click thru is often much more tedious & error-prone. And when you have a commonly repeated process, it’s trivial to script because shell scripts are, well, scripts for that terminal shell.

Also the terminals applications are hella portable. I can use ssh/mosh over the network & have a similar or exact environment as my main PC on a remote box. vi was always a good enough editor.

To be honest I hardly use it. I’m on Linux Mint Debian Edition and the built in updater does a great job. So I find myself never using the terminal

IverCoder, in Flatpack, appimage, snaps..

IMO Flatpak is the best of them all. I don’t want to bother with repo packages that have complete and unnecessary access to my system. Flatpak neatly installs an app and isolates it, and if I no longer want it I can just easily click “Uninstall” on my Settings app without it leaving a mess or any trace behind, unlike repo packages that manage to screw something as simple as uninstalling itself.

harsh3466,

Thank you!

Alawami, in Why do you use the terminal?

Gnome software store is absolute trash that never worked, so i had to use dnf from terminal. That’s about it.

Sina, in What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

This is really is not a good idea for a backup.

This is like asking why do you use a hammer to put nails.

WeLoveCastingSpellz, in Why do you use the terminal?

terminal is just faster sometimes

knfrmity, in Why do you use the terminal?

I user a terminal so that that everyone around me thinks I’m “hacking” when I’m just running updates or configuring something.

astraeus, (edited ) in Getting a Server Running - SteamOS - Best Path Forward?
@astraeus@programming.dev avatar

You’re trying to run a .bat file on Linux that’s written specifically for Windows installs. Usually .bat is run on Windows, .sh on Linux. If you have a .sh file, use that instead. If there is no .sh equivalent you may be able to tweak the .bat to run on Linux, but I don’t know if that’s a reasonable path forward or not depending on how much Windows logic is in that file.

Check your nix.conf.

seasick, in How can I migrate my existing /home/ directory to another drive?

Unsure what exactly you want to do, but this might be of help help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/…/Moving
