An alias file is what I’ve found to be the simplest. Just have to add one line to either .zshrc or .bashrc that links to the file. I store the alias file and some custom scripts that a few aliases call in a git repo so it’s literally just a matter of git pull, add one line to the rc file and then close and reopen the terminal and everything is ready to go.

.zsh aliases to bash functions.

Thanks for the list though, gonna take a look at a few!

For Nvidia, your best bet is Pop_OS, as it has the Nvidia drivers prepackaged. I wouldn’t mess with arch for gaming especially if you’re new to Linux - you’d need to do a lot of tweaking to get it right.

eric5949 , in [Suggestions] Good distros for gaming

If you go arch go something like endeavor, vanilla arch is a bit much coming from windows - you have to set basically everything up yourself. People will tell you Nvidia is a bit shit sometimes on Linux and they’re right but my 3090 is fine for the most part, even on Wayland.

False , in Documenting commands # or $ before sudo?

Neither because it makes it hard to copy paste. If you have to pick one then $ because # is for comments in bash.

bjornsno ,

You can just get around this by using some css tricks to display the dollar and pound signs.

exu OP ,

It’s not actually part of the command, just some css to add the prefix visually.

beeng ,

That’s OK then. If you can double click the text field the the prefix is not highlighted, then I’m happy :)

crowseye , in The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops
@crowseye@lemmy.ml avatar

Just waiting for my AMD gpu to get here and I’m making the switch on desktop. Been running linux on my laptop for a year already. Few minor issues here or there, but for the most part been super reliable.

I have a file in my ~ called .alias and it is sourced by any shell I might use (currently just zsh) in it are common aliases like s => sudo and “sudo” => "sudo " (just put this as an alias if you use them a lot, you’ll thank me when you’re trying to use them with sudo)

jsveiga ,

I vi as the command line editor, so fetching history commands is quick:

ESC /searchstring

But if it’s something really frequent or may benefit from parameters, I usually throw a perl or bash script in /usr/local/bin.

3% of desktops running Linux seems way to high. Where is this stat coming from?

FTA:

According to StatCounter, a web analytics company, by June 2023, Linux has reached a 3% market share in the desktop segment. This is a remarkable achievement considering its fierce competition from other operating systems.

Oh that’s awesome. Also considering that a lot of linux users modify their browser agents to appear as windows for privacy.

JubilantJaguar , in ELI5 what is the difference between UEFI handles passed to grub by a proprietary bootloader versus coreboot?

ITT: ELI5 ELIPhD

Ticktok , in What are your must-have packages?

One that I didn’t see on here that I’ve added to my list

  • tldr
    • simplified man pages with common example commands.-

If on desktop

  • distro-box
  • yakuake
GustavoM , in would you recommend debian testing for a daily driver?
@GustavoM@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t used it as a daily driver, but from my experience…? As long as you don’t do anything crazy (like using different packages from different architectures of something of the sort), you should be good.

jaykstah , in The worst part about the enshittification of RHEL is how Flatpak will suffer

How so? Flatpak has other contributers it’s not excludively a Red Hat thing. It’s also not exclusively used in RHEL. How does the Red Hat stuff affect the Flatpak ecosystem as a whole? You’re just saying it does without any context
