You can basically have a “full” desktop environment with hyprland+nwg-panel+7 other programs, I’m not sure why nobody has distributed something like this preconfigured though. I’m planning on cooking one up.
I’ve seen some very negative feedback about Hetzner, and my needs are much smaller. I really only need a terabyte, and I can’t afford more than around $15 a month, especially if I cannot install software.
I’ve had no issues running with hetzner, and of course you can install software on a hetzner server? You have full root access to the server… Well buyvm is a good option too if you can snag one - get a 3.50 a month vps and get a 5 dollar storage slice for 1 tb of storage on it is a good option and it’s cheaper than librecloud and you get a whole server
@InternetPirate I've been happy with Ubuntu since 2007, I don't always like Canonical's choices, but they're easily changed. Recently tried Vanilla OS, easy install and seems solid, good alternative to Nix I think.
From what I understand from this page and other sources - you have to type that to run gimp or other app. At least that's the impression I'm getting from the documentation. I run most of my stuff from the console and don't like to use aliases.
Because the AUR is a pretty low quality repo. Not sure if anything has changed since 2 years ago, but last I used arch, the AUR was full of broken, abandoned, and unbuildable packages. The Debian repos, fedora+rpmfusion, etc, provide a comparable number of software packages with substantially higher quality, hence no need for the AUR. Fedora actually has COPRs which suffer from the same quality issues as the AUR for similar reasons.
Thing is, the AUR isn’t really meant to be your primary repo. You can really get anything into the AUR.
The reason why I love it so much is because if I need a package that’s not in the main arch repo (which tbh isn’t many), then I don’t need to bother going to some github page and compiling from source, I can just find it in the AUR and it’s all done for me. I did this with things like goverlay and it’s one thing that I immediately miss when I distro hop away from something arch-based.
