Oddbean new post about login | logout I just use archlinux rust.. same as nix except I get updates 😁
Btw I use arch
Arch is the only good desktop Linux. Nix is just an exercise in never updating (which as we all know just leads to infinite pain and security problems). Rolling release works. If you can't update something in a rolling release that usually means your upstream is DOA.
I use PopOs I'm basically a teletubby
for rust just use rustup but fuck rust, also. it's c++ with superior attitude and build tooling stolen from golang
I like packages tho, I don't need rustup
just use rustup the packages are always out of date same thing with go, always go to go.dev and download the newest and unpack it i use intellij which has a scheme where it goes into ~/sdk/go1.xxx but i generally just unpack the tar file out of my Downloads folder into my home folder, and if i already had that i first start by 'rm -rf ~/go' as it specifies never seen it ever where any distro of any stripe actually had the current version of rust or go... for a long time ubuntu had 1.12 or something... you learn to distrust the repo for your preferred language when it is 5 years out of date most of the time
Not with arch. I got go v1.22.1 and rustc 1.76.0 (because 77 just came out a few hours ago).
yes, arch is lovely but arch installation hurts your brain so many things to remember for no good reason
Yeah, only have to install it once per machine tho, or if you're triple boot like me, maybe a couple more times.
since i got this RX 7800 XT video card tho... no video output took me like 3 days to finally find zorinOS installer works, but if you do it online it "upgrades" it to a kernel that doesn't, and beacuse of the grub config the bastard thing doesn't even pop up a menu for you to opt for the 6.2 kernel from the thing taht works and man, omg is it hard to find a linux version that supports recent AMD video properly now, riddle me this: why is this the situation when the fucking AMD drivers are completely open source, no foolin? i'm super dirty on linus torvalds this last few years, the amount of time i've wasted trying to install linux on AMD discrete GPU hardware i have lost count, it's probably weeks of my life in the last 4 years, and how the fuck does this make any sense when it's NVDA that is hiding the sausage???
I guarantee it works in arch
no, really, i couldn't even get the current image to give me a terminal
Ah, that's sad. I believe ya. Amd been screwing up. I have always avoided them, Intel/Intel or Intel/nvidia maxi.
