callyral, (edited ) to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

I use Void Linux glibc, I wouldn’t daily drive musl either, although there are ways to run glibc apps.

Yeah, I used Artix and Arch for a while, but I switched to Void a few months ago and I like it better.

callyral, to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

related question, although i don’t think it’s big enough for a post of its own.

if i use btrfs subvolumes, does it mean that i can have one EFI partition and one root partition, and then subdivide the root partition using subvolumes? how would that work during the installation process? or is it done after installation?

callyral, to linuxmemes in Linux too mainstream for some 🤷
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

Minecraft works perfectly fine, pretty sure it runs natively on Linux actually.

callyral, to linux in Why do you use the terminal?
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

Not having to go through a bunch menus to do stuff, not using the mouse, having –help for commands…

Or just for simplicity. For example, I use simple commands to manage my files: mv, cp, ls, rm, mkdir, etc.

There’s also Neovim, my preferred editor, which runs on the terminal.

I prefer to use GUI for visual things, like drawing, since that’s what it’s best at.

I usually just press F2 to rename things in a GUI

Pretty sure they meant to type “Emacs”

Wayfire - basically Wayland Compiz

Unimatrix - CMatrix-like program

cellular-automaton.nvim - neovim plugin, check out the video in the github page, i don’t know how to explain it but it’s cool

callyral, to linux in Flatpack, appimage, snaps..
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

Appimages do not have repositories, unlike Flatpaks and Snaps. It’s harder to install or update them since there isn’t a package manager for the Appimages.

I don’t know about Snaps, but Flatpaks are sandboxed, which basically means more security, since apps won’t get access to your system without permission. It’s kind of like Android where apps have to ask for permission to things like camera access, filesystem access, etc.


While I do use Appimages, they remind me of Windows and having to go to websites to download stuff.

Personally, I prefer just installing software with my distro’s package manager and resort to Flatpaks or Appimages when it’s not available in the repos.

callyral, to asklemmy in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

nekozuna, turns out she’s a child predator. yeah i no longer listen to the music since i don’t wanna support her.

callyral, (edited ) to linuxmemes in When you build from source 🥲
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

my laptop is at 56°C idle, then again it is summer here

edit: the moment i went to check it is now at 47°C with the browser open. maybe it was reporting the wrong temperature or it’s just cooler today

callyral, to linuxmemes in what if you wanted to compile kernel, but make said "Error 2"
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

In C exit codes are numbers, in the Makefile it says line n° 2014, error 2 probably has some kind of special meaning, you could take a look and search from there.

callyral, to linux in Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust
@callyral@pawb.social avatar

(notice: I am not a Rust or C/C++ expert)

Doing all that is creating a completely separate programming language from C. Rust is that programming language.

Fix shitty imports

Rust does that with modules and crates.

Improve syntax rule

You mean having consistent/universal style guidelines? Rust pretty much has that with rustfmt.

Improve memory management

Safe Rust is memory safe (using things like the borrow checker), and Unsafe Rust is (usually?) separated using the unsafe keyword.

Although Unsafe Rust seems to be quite a mess, idk haven’t tried it

Other new misc features

Rust has macros, iterators, lambdas, etc. C doesn’t have those. C++ probably has those but in a really weird C++ way.
