What's your favorite Linux distro?

  • You should definitely use the tool called home manager for per user configs, they have good docs too and make configs for popular programs super easy

    • Sometimes there is a better choice than Javascript

  • NixOS! Definitely not for beginners, and also definitely not for people who are used to the arch way and want something similar.

    It's a declarative OS, versus most Linux distros which are imperative:

    • Declarative: You define exactly what is what, such as what packages should be on your system, your configs, etc.
    • imperative: you modify those stuff yourself after initialization (installing).

    So, instead of having to install KDE and change my display manager to use it, I just add this line to my configuration file:

     
        
services.xserver.plasma5.enable = true;

    If something wrong happens, I just change the config file to its old version. I can also share this config, and then the other person can run nixos-rebuild to get my exact system configuration.

  • Bug with Lemmy itself in v0,18.3, can be fixed with a wonky hack.

    Until then, just use Hot sort instead of Top.

    • PSA: Be careful not to leave your Lemmy instances unmoderated

    Jump

  • Admins of instances have a "purge user" button (or is that only for communities?) where you can basically defederate a single user or community.

    • What's your favorite programming language and what about it do you like?

    • Why do SSDs have a more limited number of times data can be written to them, but RAM memory can handle loads of re-writes?

    Jump

  • Slightly misleading, the DRAM chips do that themselves so the kernel doesn't have to do that.
