When I was using Debian I found I could generally get the latest version of software I wanted from Nix if it wasn't in the main Debian repos, or was outdated. Nix works quite well on any Linux distro - it doesn't interfere with the rest of the system.

That comic really came out with a banger on day 1

All I can tell you is that this is done differently for each shell. So decide whether you want completions for bash, zsh, fish, all of the above, or whatever, and look at the docs for the relevant shells.

I think you want to remove the c because that means "create" an archive, and you're missing a z which applies gzip decompression/compression

This is why I switched to labelling USB sticks with two-character codes, and I keep a file that lists the current content of each stick.

I've often thought that the people working on herpes treatments probably don't get the credit they deserve

Thanks for the reply! Yes I have been trying WineGE. I didn't realize it had special media support, that's good to know.

Seems like a good idea!

Does it relate to stylix or ThemeNix? Does it do something different? (I haven't tried any of these so I'm not clear on how they compare.)

Anyone else read these newsletter titles in Pixlriff's voice? "This week, in ~~Hermitcraft~~ Gnome!"

Sourcehut is already federated! The workflows use a combination of email (which is federated), and git clones (which are decentralized)

It's great that the system is so efficient. But things do come up. I once worked with an LSP server that was so hungry that I had to upgrade from 32 to 64gb to stop the OOM crashes. (Tbf I only ran out of memory when running the LSP server and compiler at the same time - but hey, I have work to do!) But now since I'm working in a different area I'm just way over-RAMed.
