Yay doesn’t replace normal packages with AUR packages. Btw It’s not just an AUR helper, it’s a wrapper for Pacman with AUR support built-in. Check out paru btw, it’s a more modern version of yay that basically works the same way: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru

It’s pretty easy. You either get it from Cargo (the Rust package manager) or add a custom repo to apt.

Cargo is the easier and safer option: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh && cargo install eza

Custom apt repo:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gpg

sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eza-community/eza/main/deb.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg] http://deb.gierens.de stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/keyrings/gierens.gpg /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gierens.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y eza

In my opinion though, you should also try lsd. It’s even better than eza. You can also get it from Cargo, just a simple cargo install lsd.

You might like lsd even more than that!

You have to enable it in your shell config. For bash it’s eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

That will give you the z command.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to just yay -Syu to update everything, normal packages and AUR packages?

May I ask which tablet you use and why? Do you use an external keyboard? I find your setup really interesting, and would love to know the reasons behind it

Great! Fuck the chromium monopoly

Sounds like you need to try a tiling window manager. I find floating windows annoying as fuck, and they make you like super slow and unproductive by allowing windows to overlap or go off the screen. A tiler solves all of these problems, there are many fantastic options on GlazeWM, komorebi, FancyWM or the built-in tiling functionality of Seelen-UI on Windows.

You ssh into your phone? Or you use Termux on your phone to ssh into another machine?

Tell me more about NZB360 and HortusFox, I’ve never heard of these before.

That unfortunately appears to be the best way to exit. Please tell me if you know a better method.

100% agreed

Which one do you use?

For any Linux users, ANGRYsearch and Fsearch are pretty good alternatives to Everything, fd is great for the command line

Yeah the search is pretty nice, but I prefer my selfhosted instance of bitmagnet

Going back to a “normal” text editor after using Vim for a few years would be horrible

Life without qBittorrent would also be pretty difficult, hell no, I’m not paying for DRM content that requires proprietary software to watch

WriteFreely and Plume are based on ActivityPub and can be followed from the Fediverse (in addition to RSS of course)
