GNOME because it works out of the box like GNOME

Weird, but good that you found out!

Are you sure the right partitions have enough space? On my tumbleweed the installer made several subvolumes i think

Alternatively you can configure a hotkey in the GNOME Settings, or the equivalent for other DEs, to execute a bash script or anything.

No issues except that if you want to source files to set env vars you might have to use a plugin (foreignenv in my case)

I still write scripts in bash. But fish’s command completion is incredible. Idk, maybe other shells can be that good as well, but fish does out of the box.

Edit: Also some people used to bash wondered what that nice shell is on a server we administrate together. They had no problems using it coming from bash.

And sticking with POSIX is good if you want to stay portable, but my shell mustn’t be portable. It should be friendly and reduce mental load.

I’ve never used another init system, but i see no problem with systemd. The declaritive approach makes things very robust. Surely some things can be improved, but it’s a good tool.

Edit: Also managing user services the same way is nice.

If you want to protect the system from untrusted software with containers be careful. Containers and images are mostly an abstraction tool to run and control the applications. Not saying it’s not possible, it’s just easy to make it insecure.

No. It’s only about the kernel itself, not Linux Systems(aka Distributions).

Earlier the kernel did only consist of C code, but for some time now the option to develop parts of the kernel in Rust is being worked on. In the end it both compiles to native machine code. The running kernel does not require the Rust toolchain to be present.

I think they mean Wine or Proton

Like literally pull my disk out of a gaming nvidia machine, and plug it into my AMD machine with full working graphics.

This should work already, i switched from nvidia to amd this year by swapping the cards and removing the nvidia drivers some time later.

I guess it’s because the drivers only apply to their specific hardware, so no problems having amd and nvidia drivers present at the same time.
