MPV, although you could also have used it on windows already. Also freetube, you can also combine those two with a little bit of internet search.

Its common sense to learn new stuff going to most complex way. But enough sarcasm for today.

To open Krunner no matter where you are, press ALT+Space

Or remind to any other keys and use those. (I use meta + d)

Yea Gentoo is the go-to for new users. Are you from the last millenium?

I'd rather use macOS than windows anyday.

Void linux?

Isn't this actually impossible because manpages are maintained by distros? And the benefit of freedbsd being everything is created by the same team? Aka FreeBSD being a complete distro and not just a kernel?

I heard the opposite, that guille is easier to learn than NixOS language.

We need more GUIX here. Not using the distro but really interested in knowing more about it. Hype seems to be solely focused on NixOS lately.

I agree here, although I have no clue why it looks so different.

Just found this too, through the rust post some days ago...but its quite obvious that from a usability context that btop is easier to use. With bottom you have to memorize all hotkeys wheres btop is showing them right in the interface.

Thanks for pulling corner cases from dark places... not sure if we misunderstand but my point was as written, you use the package manager/repository which ships with your distro. So the original quote was:

I wouldn’t worry too much about the package manager, just worry about whether the distro has a good package repository. Which in my opinion is misleading at best.

So how many debian packages with firefox are now available? debian sid, stable, testing & firefox nightly?

Appimage? So we go behave like windows users?

Another WM? What differentiates swayfx from hyprland? Also why do you call it compositor, when it actually seems to be a sway fork?

Ubuntu and Debian differences...don't see your point here. Nobody in Arch uses apt? Nobody on ubuntu uses pacman. If you use pacman you are using Arch repositories.

Can you decouple a package manager from its repository like that? And even if, is that a real world example?

man future

Okay but your wishes will never come true in this world. So maybe work on it from another perspective.

Linux is not aiming to achieve more market share anywhere. Nor does it want to hold your hands to solve all your problems without you having to put effort into it.

I couldn't disagree more! Package managers are actually the only thing which differentiates distributions by a large margin. Syntax should be intuitive, download/updates fast and reliable. Also when watching git repositories for new software alternatives, you e.g. see often packages for good package managers, whereas you need to go some extra mile for "stable" package managers.
