What are the advantages of pacman?

possiblylinux127,

None

SoggyBread,

He eats all the pellets i dropped on the ground and can get rid of ghosts

Well, you have only 4 controls for him, up, down, left, right, whereas, let’s say Mario, also has fire and jump, so that’s 2 controls more, which makes pacman simpler, thus faster.

thecrotch,

It’s free and open source, unlike Microsoft’s proprietary Ms. Pacman

When it comes to quirks mode, what are the do’s and don’ts?

FrostyCaveman, (edited )

DONT waste your time with quirks mode

DO find a new job

Don’t install it if you want to keep your sanity. The opposite if you don’t.

You mean “history” right? Right?!

Ctrl + R, what a wonderful phrase.

uranibaba,

So many times I have looked up a command, used it and then forgotten the syntax. History is a life saver.

admin,

You would probably love mcfly github.com/cantino/mcfly

@NovaPrime@lemmy.ml avatar

Love this, but now I’m also realizing how awful my workflow is in general. More than half of the time when I get into a groove I don’t even switch directories between tasks and end up just calling the relative path like an animal 😆

uranibaba,

Just installed it! Love it, and I just learned that ctrl+r is a thing.

StrongHorseWeakNeigh, in Look at that fragmentation!

    Petter1,

    Don’t miss to insult the maintainer of a AUR package as noob while installing it completely wrong, lol

    recapitated,

    It’s really not that bad. Just don’t go off script unless you know what you’re doing. Same as every OS.

    oatscoop,

    And make sure you shave your legs with the grain, not against. Ingrown hairs suck.

    devfuuu, in What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs?

    Nix or guix are the proper solution.

    marcos,

    Yep, if you manage to make it run on them, you are set forever.

    First thing I’d try is to use a “period-correct” nixpkgs commit for the libraries. It might even have the package already.

    renzev,

    Hmmm I’m a bit hesitant about nixpkgs, since when I last tried using it (outside of nixos), many (modern) GUI apps were broken, at least on my distro, But I’ll give this a try if u/observanTrapezium’s suggestion doesn’t work. Thanks!

    If the app uses OpenGL in any way, you need to use nixGL: github.com/nix-community/nixGL

    Is red hat a good or a bad influence on the ecosystem?

    0x4E4F, (edited )
    @0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Well, red is darker than white, so if everyone wears red hats, then global warming will most definitely rise.

    Ah man this is the first meme I saw and I just got done giving up trying to install Arch because I’m getting some systemd hang from the USB installer.

    0x4E4F,
    @0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

    Try Void, no systemd 😁.

    netwren,

    It’s in the iso 😢 how hard is it to switch out void on the livecd?

    0x4E4F,
    @0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

    What do you mean switch out?

    makunamatata, in AMA

    Which one is it?

    “Ask me anything about it and I’ll try to answer”

    OR

    “Ask me anything about IT and I’ll try to answer”

    You know, I’m kinda surprised there isn’t a Maid IT service out there somewhere. You’re telling me I can fix computers all day AND dress in a maid outfit? sign me up!

    hessenjunge,

    I know it’s anecdotal but I have never seen a single IT service guy I’d fancy seeing in a maid outfit.

    afox,

    Coward

    hessenjunge,

    Nah, I’d just prefer a Burka in their case.

    For windows users that go to Linux I always recommend KDE as it looks like windows and it’s easy for them to understand and use it!

    rikudou,
    @rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

    Start recommending Cinnamon then, it’s the best DE when switching from Windows.

    Gakomi,

    I recommend KDE as when I switch from windows I tried multiple DE and that one felt the most like windows it also had support for wallpaper engine which I really wanted!

    stratosfear,

    As a power user of windows I’ve lost faith in Ubuntu, though. Their DNS implementation alone is a disaster. So I’ve switched to Debian and KDE, but then I saw there is a Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) so that’s probably what I would recommend if anyone asked me. I personally haven’t used it yet tho as I’m enjoying KDE.

    rikudou,
    @rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

    Cinnamon is not the Ubuntu DE, it’s Linux Mint’s.

    stratosfear,

    Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu

    lseif,

    i concur

    haui_lemmy,

    Whats better in cinnamon in your opinion?

    rikudou, (edited )
    @rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

    It’s really similar to Windows in how you use it. Switching between Windows 11 and Cinnamon is as seamless as it can be.

    There’s almost no configuration or anything necessary, you just install it and it’s great.

    Gakomi,

    Same applies for Manjaro with KDE and on top of that it has support for wallpaper engine which I really wanted.

    haui_lemmy,

    Got it. Thanks for elaborating.

    owen,

    It’s very simple and stable

    haui_lemmy,

    I can see that. Thanks for explaining.

    owen,

    Yeah np. For example my dad got bogged down by all the options and features in KDE, but cinnamon was great cause it just launches apps and shows the time lol

    haui_lemmy,

    Got it! I tend to forget that not everyone can deal with tons of options. I am this person in certain config files like synapse and telegraf. The config files are just impossibly long and getting an overview of them is impossible in my mind.

    tubaruco,

    cinnamon is lighter and simpler and looks more like the best version of windows (7)

    haui_lemmy,

    Okay. I can see that. Thanks for elaborating.

    lolcatnip, (edited )

    I can’t see how looking like a 14 year old version of Windows (as opposed to a newer version) is an advantage for people coming from Windows.

    tubaruco,

    windows 7 was simpler and lighter, and as far as i know, everyone i know prefers it over 10 or 11

    7 just worked better, had a lot less bloat, so people who liked it will be happy and nostalgic when they see something theyre used to
