  • For those like me who are stuck with win 11 on your work computer be aware that KDE makes windows builds for some of their software like the Dolphin file explorer: https://apps.kde.org/dolphin/

    It’s not officially supported yet and has some issues but I’ve been using it for a few days now and it’s been quite nice

    Some issues I’ve run into are: not being able to open archives into dolphin; issues with not being able to move files to the trash bin (although deleting it works fine)

    Also I’m pretty sure that Recall is deep in the kernel so you might not be able to run the explorer shell at all. Unfortunately there really isn’t a good alternative since litestep has been abandoned :(


















  • Nix seemed more focused on marketing and cutting corners to make a working product faster

    Yes, this is a big issue in corporate development. It seems like management is in a constant state of barreling headfirst into a “silver bullet that fixes everything” instead of doing things the hard way (which in the long term is almost always better.

    expect to either package it yourself

    I have not maintained any packages before but I am very interested in learning how, I shall look into this.

    Shepherd for its init system

    I vaguely remember this was the originally used in Hurd? if so that is cool.

    This is very cool!

    guix import

    This seems quite useful thanks for that.

    Setting up Emacs, a local SMTP server connected to your email for git, and a CLI password manager will probably be helpful.

    I have been wanting to set up upasfs this may be the push I need to finally get around to doing that.

    It appears Guix may be a good choice in the future but not quite yet, I will try installing it as a package manager and/or try it in a VM to start out with. Thanks for the info!
