I remember using Conectiva Linux in Brazil. Also tried Kurumin Linux, both Brazilian distros. The biggest pain I recall from these years was to make a modem work and I ended up buying an expensive US Robotics, which worked like a charm.

I moved to the Netherlands when my boy was 8yo. At that time he was fluent and capable to read and write in Portuguese. Now, two years later he can also do the same in Dutch, but the challenge now is that he is forgetting some words or some meanings in his mother tongue. I ask to everyone coming from Brazil to bring books for him, which helps a lot (he loves to read). Besides of that, it’s super hard for me to follow up him with his homework.

Yep, I was going to say capybaras but also anacondas, although they are hard to spot, but I recall there’s one in Butantan Institute, in São Paulo city.

Distrobox is a god send tool for using AUR stuff in any distro.

I think you’ll like an editor called micro.

Zoxide and cd down. ;)

There are other reasons, but if I had to point only one word: containers.

Yes, I use Debian and Pacstall works well on it. From their Wiki, you can see that you can target incompatible versions if applicable - I saw it in one app, incompatible with Bullseye but compatible with Bookworm and Ubuntu (maybe git-delta, if I remember well). Also, I have a small contribution to the project as well.

I use Debian and was using Arch in a Distrobox to have some AUR apps (PyCharm, DBeaver, Pulsar Editor and a few more). It’s nice and I recomend you to try and have fun with it. Undoubtedly, Distrobox is a game changer - however, I believe it’s a better tool to set a development environment, with the distro and packages used in the production environment. Nowadays, just to install random software on Debian, I’ve been using Pacstall - try it as well. In the end, I think it integrates better. For example, if I click on a link in a Markdown doc in Pulsar in a box, either it will not open the link if I don’t have another browser within the box or I’ll have to implement a workaround to open the host’s browser.

Minnie: Mickey, are you f_cking crazy?

Mickey: No, I’m f_cking Daisy.

Thank you for confirming!

Thank you for confirming!

I’m using flatpak extensively but I’m looking for faster start-up times. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

Just a honest question: if I install Thunderbird using distrobox, can I define it as my default browser? If I click in a mailto link will it work?

Dude, I came here to write the same as you but you were faster and definitely wrote WAY better then I’m capable to do.

Thank you!

Does Anytype supports markdown?

I liked the initiative, the ideals and so on. But even a simple information I couldn’t find: does it supports markdown?
