You could try using Hashicorp’s Packer to generate images repeatably (usually more meant for cloud images though). Or NixOS (like others have mention), or Guix (like NixOS, but better in some ways, worse in others). You could make it an Ansible playbook, which would let you both make configured images, and just configure machines that already have an OS.

I do something similar with archiso, fwiw, but that only works with Arch Linux.

Would you want to change your distribution, or just keep Debian with some tools to automate?

Annas archive exists

Make a plugin to a non-vim editor that properly emulates the vim experience, with the non-vim GUI.

Or, if that doesn’t work well enough, fork them.

Failing that, you could just accept your fate. I love my neovim install.

Exciting! Sort of interestingly, I never dual booted or anything, I just jumped straight to Linux.

Honestly, it’s really not that bad. Linux has come a long way since I started out, and while I usually make it harder for myself than it needs to be, I’ve seen young middle schoolers installing and using Linux, I’ve seen retired professional musicians with no technical background install and use Linux. Especially with all these new fancy atomic desktops, like Silverblue, Bazzite, and Kinoite. Admittedly, I have managed to break a Kinoite installation (doing stuff I probably shouldn’t have been doing), but fixing it felt magical. Just roll back to when it wasn’t borked, then update it.

I did a lot of not so nice things to that installation (it was a bit of a test, to see how fragile it was), and it’s still running now!

Are her screeds deranged? Yeah. Are they interesting to read? Also yeah.

“We regret to inform you that, as of July 26, 2024, all Homeworkify services are permanently unavailable.”

‘GamingTrend had an issue with the humour in Chapter 4, stating “this series of levels has what I would call three distinct right wing dog whistles, with jokes that feel mean spirited involving drag, homophobia, and fat-phobia”.’

I enjoyed the first one, hopefully this one is decent. I might wait until I can get more details on the above, though.

Working there is apparently pretty nice. Microsoft on the inside is not Microsoft on the outside.

But regardless, terrible company with terrible products. Even if they didn’t do anything shady, they still aren’t great.

irssi. the plugin stuff is nice, terminal is better than GUI, and when themed it doesn’t look terrible

Hannah Montana Linux is probably the most popular Linux distro.

In all seriousness, popularity isn’t necessarily the best metric for what you should run on your computer. Ubuntu might be fairly popular, but it also isn’t particularly good.

i2p. It’s sorta like Tor, but the way that every user is a node provides some advantages over Tor.

It would be pretty neat if they did like zsh does, where it asks you if you mean a certain command when you only type it partially.

I’m a big fan of Nebula. It’s sorta like Tailscale, but not quite.

Did you install anything from the AUR? roderickvd is the librespot guy, so if you installed that from the AUR it would load his keys

oh, neat

Only took them 6 years of malware

camera drivers. the patch was submitted, but hadn’t been merged yet, and I didn’t want to wait.

It’s a bit of a weird setup, and not at all practical. I build “golden images” with archiso, the image gets sent over, then local disks are auto-mounted. The local disks have my ~/home, so all my configs, flatpaks, games, etc. stay consistent.

I use PXE for my servers, so I figured “why not?”. I don’t do too much on it besides videogames, I do most real stuff on laptops. This “setup” probably isn’t going to stay around forever.

I PXE boot my desktop.
