I am potentially going to be able to put Linux on my work PC soon, have been using it on my personal PC and laptop quite happily with hyprland ontop of NixOS...
I really liked awesomewm back in the day. Though everything was configured by arco Linux (arch fork), so have to idea how easy it is to get your configs up and running like in hyprland.
Shitty moderation is on every platform is specially up an coming like lemmy, if one should leave a platform is for the lack of moderation.
Moderation means people care, even though I am quite against it. I believe that a platform with no moderation would be illegal because pedos and other kinds of psycos exist, however other than that, everything in the legal realm or greyish ( piracy and stuff ) should roam free even if it’s something perverse or completely stupid there is a downvote button for that, I don’t remember the last time I used it.
Anyways for me the last straw was the api change that back stab on developers left me with a real sour taste in my mouth.
I apologize if this has been asked a ton, still migrating to lemmy. Still stuck on crappy reddit out of habbit, but i’ve found the lemmy universe to be much more helpful....
Yeah of course I get your argument although we have rpm (or deb in debain based distros) across redHat and OpenSUSE it does not mean that the same rpm package would work on both systems due to distro specific aspects (like different root structures, init systems etc . . .), but that’s something for the package manager to solve, the package format could be agreed upon, which would ease the workload of developers and maintainers since the moment you know the target distros of a package they could see the base differences of said distros and add symlinks, dependencies, environment variables, services … as needed for the package.
This seems like it could lead to a whole lotta of conflicts, but I think if the daddy distros were designed all with one package format in mind, such format could be somewhat interoperable.
Oh … thx for the insight, it was a daydream anyways looks like the only solution is cloud native if one wants uniformity, still a bit hesitant to have a system so stable I can’t change it’s core filesystem.
OK maybe what I meant was a packaging format and not a package manager, above there was a user that mentioned that all distros have their quirks and kinks, if GNU created a package manager that worked perfectly at first time maybe it’s adoption would go across the distros but as u said to make it perfect the first time is something hard and even harder on early days where nothing was set on stone and there would be always the odd one that would make their package manager.
But if we all agreed early on, one one packaging format (which of course would have to go through many iterations to reach a stable state ) all package format wars would be over and in well implemented ecosystem of package managers of each distro, it would be also an somewhat interoperable one.
So I finally decided to join my university Linux group, and has I been helping people with simple problems in discord for a while they put me in the helpdesk....
Yeah actually somewhat of a related experience I been using Linux for 3 years, 2-3 months on Ubuntu then manjaro one week and skipped next to arch till now ( hopped into nix and artix for a while too ).
The experience I have i gained through installing arch from scratch fixing things playing with Wayland and pipewire from the early days.
I am bit scared is of the edge cases, I have a software engineering background, or actually I still into it and was looking for some sources fro the most common problems and how to diagnosi edge case ones.
