Joke's on you, I don't understand Nix and I'm a NixOS package maintainer
I'm guessing you're responsible for the documentation, as well.
Gottem lol
Kind of, but since I don't know what I'm doing I mostly just delete some of it when it's not working
is it possible to learn this power?
Randomly switch between
buildInputs,nativeBuildInputs,depsBuildBuild,depsBuildTarget,depsHostHost, anddepsTargetTargetuntil it builds.Good luck building anything electron. Copy-paste some existing build recipe and replace the source. If it doesn't work, make a post on the forums saying it doesn't work and let somebody else figure it out, then create a PR 🫰 ezpz
teach us the way
while code_is_working != true { response = post(matrix_channel, [code, error_code]); [code_is_working, error_code] = run(response); }The secret is attitude, "fuck it we ball" attitude and method of "fuck around and find out" works just fine
this post implies that you download debs from the internet instead of using your distro's package manager
also last I checked apt hasn't stopped being a cli over the years
This meme reeks of someone who's only used linux for a week and has no clue what he's talking about.
When I was a beginner and used Linux Mint, I downloaded deb files, and even rpm files that I converted to deb, because I didn't know what package manager means
I didn't actually mean that you install deb packages from the internet, I mean debian based distros, I just don't know the acronym for it.
and AFAIK mx linux and LMDE have programs with a GUI for installing packages, and I added debian because it has a gui installer and I don't know a good third debian based distro
This is rpm erasure
Redhat package manager, used on distros like fedora, suse, rhel
All power users, of all distros, use the CLI. It's what unites us!
I used the CLI a lot when I was on Windows and RISCOS before that.
I just want to install the latest version of an app without downloading half an OS worth of dependencies. AppImage had me dreaming of this day but the project seems like it's dying, if not dead already.
Flatpak nowadays feels like the spiritual successor to appimage. All the dependencies are containerized, and uninstalling an app doesn't leave behind a residue of automatically created files on your system... at least in theory. All of these benefits are kind of negated if an app has full disk read/write permission.
Appimage is kind of silly in my opinion. Appimage is just "portable application" (i.e. when an app gets shipped as a folder containing the executable,
.sodependencies, and resources), but crammed into a disk image for some reason.I was referring to flatpak when I said 'half an OS worth of dependencies'. I have an extremely shitty and unstable internet, so downloading like 5gb for a simple app isn't worth it. Even if my internet wasn't as horrible, Flatpak is only worth it when you want to install dozens of big app and not when you want to install 2-3 apps, the heaviest being a 100mb or so as a .deb.
I admire your dedication to posting watamote linux memes

I switched to Gentoo but use the Nix package manager, helps if I wanna test out some software before committing to the compile. it's been great.
You can technically install dpkg onto arch; but it's not reccomended.
Speaking of not recommended, you can technically install arch on an NTFS partition
You can also install Windows on btrfs
I can smell data loss issues just by reading this
What about Fedora users?
i installed nobara and while everything was simple to set up, the nobara installer doesn't recognize the ssd i flashed it on. going great
flatpak+appimage
atleast arch has the AUR. right? and we have flatpak and appimage.
