I recommend LMDE nowadays, but it doesn’t really matter.

I landed on oh-my-bash, zoxide and some other utilities. It really improved my terminal experience.

That sounds great but I don’t want to keep the ‘rm’ muscle memory in case I’m on another computer and delete something important. Having to use ‘trash’ instead makes you more conscious when it errors out.

Alias rm to echo and install trash. Saved me many times.

Yeah at this point I’ve aliased ‘rm’ to nothing and exclusively use ‘trash’.

A lot of people are telling you to not use manjaro and to use endeavour instead. I’ve been using manjaro for 6 years and it’s fine, in the end they offer very similar user experience.

For package management, I do everything with yay now. Just calling it on it’s own will update everything, with keywords it will search and ask you what to install. The only flag you have to know is -R to uninstall.

For the shell bash is perfectly fine, but if you want more features take a look at ohmybash.

I’ve been running it on my work laptop for 6 years at this point and I’ve had no major issues I couldn’t solve.

Having said that, I recently switched my gaming rig over to endeavour and it’s been great.

AC Valhalla.

I played though all the other ones but that one felt so soulless and bland. I expected it to not be great but nothing this bad.

Then again I finally realized recently that I don’t actually enjoy open world games (with some exceptions).

I’ve been using Manjaro for about 7 years at this point. I’ve had issues maybe 5 times, and nothing I couldn’t fix.

It can break if you disable telemetry.

I always recommend mint. There are a lot of small convenience features that remove friction points for new users and because it’s based on the very popular Ubuntu there are a lot of documentation out there.

Space. They’re killing radio astronomy, endangering optical astronomy and threatening everything else in orbit, from telecoms, to earth observation, to the ISS.

They’re also spreading rare earth metal everywhere when the satellites burn up and wasting a lot of energy to get them up there when we’re facing an energy crisis.

I was using Atom, but that died. I work with both Python and Fortran, and VSCode works for my usecase, but I’m open to suggestions.
