Programmer by day, burnt out by night.
Likely not anytime soon as they tend to hold off latest features and prefer older (but maintained) LTS versions of just about everything. Also especially not if it turns out to be a bad idea; they explicitly build Mint without Snaps since their inclusion in the Ubuntu base.
Mainly memory safety; split (which is also used for other programs like sort) had a memory heap overflow issue last year to name one.
The GNU Coreutils are well tested and very well written, the entire suite of programs has a CVE only once every few years from what I can see, but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.
That said, Rust also handles parallelism and concurrency much better than C ever could, though most of these programs don’t really benefit from that or not much since they already handled this quite well, especially for C programs.
uutils/Linux?
What is this table from? Is it from some website?
Yeah, but it shouldn’t replace forums.
Isn’t that just a bandwidth issue?
Sure, ok, that’s still my daily driver, it’s incredibly stable (and no, it’s not fucking outdated), but other than that it doesn’t help so much against accidentally borking your system.
So in this context, I’m recommending @[email protected] NixOS.
No, you need to go further: https://512kb.club/
May I introduce you to my lord and saviour NixOS?
And not somehow break it more from there? Impressive!
I’ve found it needed a lot of extra steps, plus fidgeting with the OSTree defeats some of the safety/stability of it all.
Bazzite, at least, recommends against using OSTree blindly as that’s meant for sysconfig and recommends using Homebrew instead, as this lives in your user space and touches very little; but even installing libqalculate gives memory issues. Most things I attempted to install did, actually.
The Ruby interpreter installed just fine, and was the only CLI program that installed just fine IIRC.
Now, I feel like it’s less of a hassle to Just Use Mint®, especially since I’ve got it installed anyway.
Ooh, that sounds hopeful!
You’re assuming democracy will still exist.
They’re playing the Nazi/Putin play book with Project 2025.
For me a web app IDE includes a DB manger, HTML previewer, etc.
A text editor edits text, an IDE is an Environment that Integrates Development tools.
Funny you say that, I dual boot Bazzite and Mint, for gaming and everything else including programming, respectively.
Bazzite is a pain to install and use CLI applications in, but it’s got a great default setup for gaming!
I didn’t have terminal transparency available OOTB, and it didn’t find my Nvidea GPU drivers, either.
Ubuntu-based Mint does, for me.
I feel like an edit with USB buses is in order.
I’ve also noticed “competitive” seems to mean “just above what they believe the competition’s minimum is”, and together they and their competition drive the wages down.
Aii caramba, that’s pretty… Well standard for the US by now, but still.
I don’t mind using it for larger teams, it can be great for organised communication such as dev teams!
But it shouldn’t replace documentation.
(Also, Discord itself is a proprietary, censoring telemetry wasp nest, your FOSS dev team shouldn’t be organised in it but Matrix, XMPP, IRC channels or something else open.)
