What exactly do you think someone is going to have to do that isn’t easily done on Bazzite? Bazzite isn’t based around Steam. 99% of users will install everything they need from Flathub and be perfectly fine.
Also, you can do anything you want with an “immutable” distro, it’s just done differently. Immutable is a bad and unclear descriptor, which is why Bazzite uses atomic.
I dont know any for amazon music, but theres a few that use Tidal which will probably have what you need. Here’s a list of them: https://github.com/eduardprigoana/hifi-instances/
This also works on Kagi for anybody else using it
Rush works great for me
I recently started using Halloy and really like it
Xonsh is also a really cool option. If I used Python more regularly and was more comfortable using it without having to look stuff up, I’d probably use it over Nushell.
I love Nushell, it’s so much more pleasant for writing scripts IMO. I know some people say they’d just use Python if they need more than what a POSIX shell offers, but I think Nushell is a perfect option in between.
With a Nushell scripts you get types, structured data, and useful commands for working with them, while still being able to easily execute and pipe external commands. I’ve only ever had two very minor gripes with Nushell, the inability to detach a process, and the lack of a -l flag for cp. Now that uutils supports the -l flag, Nushell support is a WIP, and I realized systemd-run is a better option than just detaching processes when SSHd into a server.
I know another criticism is that it doesn’t work well with external cli tools, but I’ve honestly never had an issue with any. A ton of CLI tools support JSON output, which can be piped into from json to make working with it in Nushell very easy. Simpler tools often just output a basic table, which can be piped into detect columns to automatically turn it into a Nushell table. Sometimes strange formatting will make this a little weird, but fixing that formatting with some string manipulation (which Nushell also makes very easy) is usually still easier than trying to parse it in Bash.
The FAQ explains it better than I will:
Depends on the package manager. It’s probably easy on Debian, but more difficult on rolling releases, mostly because of dependency hell. Binary distributed software is also harder to integrate in a build system and cross-compilation to a different architecture is not possible.
You shouldn’t need to cross compile, as they will provide the binaries for systems they support. I’m not sure what integration with build systems it might need, but I feel like a package manager should not have this limitation. I use NixOS Unstable, the rolling release branch, and have many packages that are distributed as binaries, either due to being closed source or having issues preventing them from being built with Nix.
Regarding the cost of the search engine, I don’t care about all the things you get. I just want a search engine and for a reasonable price compared to the price of their “all of them at once, I suppose” bundle.
That’s perfectly fair. I felt ok with spending $10 a month on the search, even before they started adding more features and services to it. I believe that the $5 option used to offer 500 searches, which felt more fair, but I guess that wasn’t sustainable.
The browser isnt paid though. https://help.kagi.com/orion/faq/faq.html#business
I agree the $5 a month option is pretty useless, but I also think $10 is completely reasonable for everything you get.
Also even if it was paid why would it have issues with a package manager? Paid software generally just uses an account or license key to verify payment, with the executable being frwely available. JetBrains and Burp Suite are two software that come to mind and both are in many repositories.
Edit: To be clear, the browser will only be for Kagi and Orion+ members during the testing phase, likely just to control the size of the testing group. After that it will be free.
They’ve been open sourcing parts of it the entire time. Looks to me like they’re doing what they said.
You can easily monitor network connections to see what addresses its sending packets to. You can’t collect information without sending it somewhere. Run Firefox through a proxy, and you’ll see it is far from private. The source code will show you what they’re sending, but nothing about what they’re doing with it after it’s received.
Open source =/= private. Chromium and Firefox are open source, and both have horrible privacy defaults. I have far more trust in Kagi than Mozilla or Google. There are many ways to verify privacy than other than reading the source code.
Besides, they have shared that they plan to open source the browser once the project is ready, and some components are already open source. Making a project open-source is a much bigger task than people realize. While community contributions may take some maintenance load off of your staff, they now become responsible for much more external code review, which requires more scrutiny due to coming from outside sources.
I mean, I’d imagine the goal is to avoid being mediocre.
If Orion fully supports the Firefox extensions I use and is as privacy respecting as I expect, I’ll likely switch to it as soon as I can. I’m sick of Firefox prioritizing features very few people want.
I did not say he said something transphobic, reread my message. I said he was banned for the transphobia in his discord, the community space that he runs and is responsible for, especially in the case of actions by other mods.
My bad on the date, but I really dont think it being 3 years ago makes a big difference. He was still an adult at the time.
Besides that event, hes just an asshole. This is obvious from the email exchange and from his blog posts.
He was banned from Free desktop two years ago for the transphobia in his discord. It wasnt some decade old messages from when he was a kid.
I use the Nix package, so neither. Although I also use flatpaks for other stuff so I doubt it would require many dependencies I’m not already using.
I highly recommend giving Jujutsu a try. It didnt take long to learn at all and just feels so much more flexible and intuitive.
Better UI and many of the tools for managing wine prefixes are higher quality, rather than relying on something like Winetricks, which is actually a 20000 line bash script.
I’d highly recommend using Dodi instead. I dont know what causes it, but FitGirls installers have been doing this for years. There are some steps that can fix it, but its very inconsistent. Meanwhile, I havent had a Dodo install fail.
If you’d really prefer FitGirls repacks you can run the installer in a Windows VM and move the files to the host.
Most of what you enumerated is not a terminal emulator job.
Says who? You aren’t the arbiter of what software gets to handle each job.
Tmux does a worse job than Wezterm while being more complex, a pain in the ass to configure, and feeling less native than just using the built-in tabs and panes of my terminal. Ive also had it break the output and interfere with the keybinds of many apps. Why the hell should I install and configure an extra tool when Wezterm does what I need perfect?
And if you want image rendering, what a hell you use TUI for this?
Because I like using a TUI? I do the large majority of my work in my terminal, so why should I swap out of it to look at a picture when Wezterm does it just fine? More importantly, why do you give a fuck what tools somebody uses if they work for them?
I dont give a shit about “Unix philosophy”, Wezterm works better for me at all of these tasks than any other options.
GUI programs can also be controlled with keyboard.
I have never seen a GUI file manager with the same level of control using a keyboard as the average TUI file manager.
You can run pirated games in Heroic.
