Without context this is meaningless. Are you gotten blocked in Github from a specific repository? And why posting it here, what do you try to achieve?

You can just transfer the files and it should find them again. I did that with Kiwix and Zeal, if I’m not mistaken. Nowadays I don’t use Zeal, but don’t remember having such a trouble when installing a new os and taking old HDD over.

Nice website. There is also Zeal: https://zealdocs.org/ and for other type of documents. There is Kiwix: https://kiwix.org , which I use to download the entire Wikipedia.

Looking at the comment history of this profile, is this a spam account trying to collect likes before it casts his spam magic spells? Sorry if you are a human, but you look like a malfunctioning robot.

Came here for Zig too. I never programmed anything in it other than hello world stuff. I think the world is waiting for the 1.0 release with complete tooling and package manager and a solid foundation that won’t change too soon. I watched talks from Andrew and what this guy and his team is doing is amazing. It’s a small team.

I recently switched from regular Vim to Neovim, using LazyVim config.

From what I have read it’s only the initial phase when running the Snap for the first time. The package is setting up the environment and does some things only once. And the first iteration of the Snap concept was very slow, which is improved a lot. Didn’t use Ubuntu in years, so cannot test it myself at the moment.

But only the first time you open it, right?

I don’t trust Google or Microsoft for privacy and such stuff. But Microsoft does not give up as fast as Google.

While I understand this is humorous post, it’s not crystal clear. That does not mean people lack humor, that only means we encounter a lot of trolls or idiots in the forums, that we no longer know if someone is joking or is being serious. So you should not call people being seriously wounded, if your joke didn’t come as you wish it was.

In short, if it’s not 100% clear (and it’s not), then marking it as “sarcasm” is not a bad idea if you just making a joke without trolling or flamewar. That’s just my thumb of rule. It helps you not get misunderstood.

I wrote a little script to browse Manpages: woman using fzf to create such a browser. Just run woman without arguments to see the full list.

I think you would need to change the variable sections='1,8,6,5,7' , so it access only specific Manpages. In example 1 stands for executable programs or shell commands. More about the sections in the DESCRIPTION of the man command itself: man man

I see. To me using EndeavourOS is not bending over backwards, because it is not more difficult than using bare metal Archlinux. Just saying, because you say you don’t understand people doing that. I don’t do it. EndeavourOS makes it more easy and less headache to use Arch in my opinion. And from that perspective, it’s a win situation.

The title could mention Steam Deck, but not mentioning it makes better clickbait. Warning: This reply has some random thoughts about the system being or not being a game console.

I personally don’t like calling the Steam Deck a game console, but I get why it is seen as such. The reality is, it’s a PC in handheld form factor treated as a game console. I guess the one important distinction is, that developers can target the Steam Deck specifically, which makes it a game console like PC. The other handhelds or laptops based on PC technology aren’t consoles, even though the concept of the Deck existed before. That’s why I do not consider any specific PC configuration, such as Aya Neo or the other competitors a game console. Because developers do not target those specifically (and they lack an operating system dedicated being a console).

The reality is, the lines between game console and general computing devices get blurry, once you involve “real” PC hardware and operating systems suited for general operations. And the Steam Deck has both. It’s tricky. But I really like the fact that the Steam Deck can be targeted and optimized by developers and that Valve takes their time for an iteration of the “system”. What we were thinking of game consoles changes with this open platform. And the best thing is, the game library does not depend on this specific hardware; you are not bound to a specific company in example, not even a specific shop or library.

Valve entering the game console market with a Linux based system is probably one of the most important steps in videogame history. I suspect this will have bigger impact in the future than most people imagine now. At least I hope so…

A typical Reddit discussion.

Not that I know any of. Just wanted recommend it to you, if you test different distros. It’s so nice to have multiple of them ready on a single USB stick. Just recently used it the first time and it’s amazing.
