In most cases extended POSIX regexes are enough and looks the same as perl regexes.
I also used perl until I needed to write highly portable scripts that can be run on systems without perl interpreter (e.g. some minimal linux containers). Simple things are also simple to do with grep/sed/awk, more complex things can be done with awk but require a longer code in comparison with perl.
Systems with bash but without standard POSIX utils? I know some without bash (freebsd by default, busybox based distros etc.) and with grep, sed and awk, but not vice versa.
It seems like a lot of the folk here could be pretty interested in the revival of the Fedora Audio Creation Special Interest Group, as it could become a real powerhouse when it comes to getting more people involved into music creation with Linux.
There are some DAWs like Ardour and LMMS for linux. The bigger issue is plugins. They are mostly NOT for Linux. There are some but the selection is not big. You can use a VST-bridge like Carla. It worked for me, I could use proprietary windows based VSTs in LMMS on Linux. However, I wanted to go fully FOSS. This is rather difficult. You make it sound like there are a bunch of open source plugins. This was not my experience. Especially not if you are looking for more specific things. If it is like that, shit has changed radically for the best the last two years. I had some coding projects related to music production so I would just try to build whatever I needed. But I dropped these projects unfortunately.
I am very pleasantly surprised so far, but that’s because my expectations were so low that I was shocked that ANY plugins even exist. With the way prices are going when it comes to music software, I expect to start seeing rapid progression in the music FOSS space.
I use dash to dock but I keep it hidden and make it the same size. It’s just nice to be able to go down to click open apps sometimes. I still rarely use it but it’s nice to have
Back in the 80s/90s there were keyrings that would play an alarm if they heard a whistle at a particular frequency. You're basically playing Marco Polo with your keys.
I assume they lost popularity because the batteries tended to run out at inopportune times. Batteries are better now. Maybe it's time those things made a comeback.
I just bought a OnePlus 6 to test out mobile Linux and it’s not there yet. Firefox it a pain to use and it doesn’t auto rotate either. So far it’s been good to read manga on and… Ye that’s about it. Camera doesn’t work on it and the UI still isn’t the best. I haven’t used KDE’s DE for phones yet but I’ve used phosh and now I’m using gnome mobile and so far gnome mobile is a lot better but still buggy. I’m excited for the future development of it but with how locked down phones are it’s a bleak future
I use Geary and it works well. Just go into settings and allow it to check for notifications when app is closed. It’ll run and the background and I’ll get the notification then just open up thunderbird to actually check it
I’ve only ever found a use for sed once two decades into my career, and that was to work around a bug due to misuse of BigInt for some hash calculations in a Java component; awk remains unused. Bash builtins cover almost everything for which I find those are typically used.
If you're using find all the time, check to see if you have or can have some variant of locate installed. It indexes everything* on the system (* this is configurable) and can be queried with partial pathnames, even with regex, and it's fast.
