This commit seems to be related.
I don’t know what Soulseek or Freyr are (I’ll look into what they are), but you can use Seal (F-Droid) to download files using yt-dlp on Android.

i just use either zip or tar+gzip. personally, i avoid rar as it’s a proprietary format.

Here’s my distrohopping journey (including non-Linux OS)
Windows 7 →
Windows 10 →
Mid 2021, I tried Fedora Linux in a VM and was unable to install it, but I liked it regardless.
So, a while later I decided to try this “Linux” thing on my computer.
Linux Mint (late 2021) →
Arco Linux (arch felt too intimidating) →
Debian (stability = good?) →
Debian Sid (stability = boring
) →
Artix Linux OpenRC (omg i hate systemd so much!1!!) →
Void Linux →
Artix Linux runit (it didn’t work) →
Arch Linux (how do i use systemctl wtf) →
Void Linux again (ah, ln -s /etc/sv/something /run/service/
)→
NixOS unstable (since January 2024)
Honestly, I’m just glad I found something I liked, as NixOS is perfect for tinkering.
During all that distrohopping, I “DE-hopped” even more. Currently I run SwayFX, but I’ve used Cinnamon, XFCE, Plasma, GNOME, AwesomeWM, i3, bspwm, dwm, swaywm and Hyprland.
edit 1: add Artix Linux runit
edit 2: remove NixOS stable from the list
I though only GNOME cared about having client-side decorations? Probably why any GNOME app I have has an annoying toolbar when I’m using a tiling window manager.
how is that fragmentation it’d be a front-end not a whole new software
I started with NixOS and now I installed something called “Lix”
Yeah I’m deep in it to return
Unfortunately, my dotfiles aren’t public
I use NixOS, and I’m confused. Why is a fork of Nix necessary? I’m out of the loop.
edit: currently looking at lix.systems and aux.computer for info.
So… should I just switch to Lix? Like are there any problems I should expect?
edit 2: i tried switching to it, but got an infinite recursion error in my flake.nix
, and honestly i don’t feel like dealing with it right now.
bug repellent, my beloved
What? I call my computer a PC and I run Linux. My friends know I use Linux and they don’t get confused when I call my device a PC. As far as I know, “PC” refers to a personal desktop computer and does not depend on the OS.
It could just be me, but when someone says “PC” I don’t necessarily think of a Windows computer, I just think of a computer.
It depends on what kind of game you like. Here are 2 video games I play on Linux:
Minecraft is a sandbox game with a survival aspect, where you can be as creative as you want while still having fun challenges. There are many different playing styles. It costs about $30 and requires a Microsoft account to play legally. Minecraft: Java Edition officially runs on Linux. Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (the one with console cross-play) does not run on Linux by any official methods.
Mindustry is a techy/industrial game, I’ve heard some say it’s like if Factorio was a tower defense. It is free and open-source (under GPLv3), requires no account.
For purchasing or acquiring games, I’d recommend Steam. It has lots of games and many of them work on Linux. There’s also Heroic Games Launcher for Epic and GOG games.
thanks!
