Or maybe terminal emulation needs to be brought up to speed with modern computing. New terminal specs and all that.

Nothing is better for remote computing and administration than a terminal. It's far too data data dense for anything to be competitive.

Nothing is better for quick and easy iteration of programming ideas than a quick text output in a terminal.

It doesn't need to be destroyed, it needs some iteration. It's an old technology with a lot of cruft.

JFC, some of these responses here about I 'should' do this or that. This is precisely why Reddit and most social media is cancer and people filled with 0 social and life skills.

I shouldn’t have to do anything. If you have an issue with my crying child, the onus is on you to find another space for yourself to make yourself comfortable instead of mandating what other people should/should not do.

Does that mean that parents should let their kids run around? Hell no. But this also means that you stop acting like another baby and find a way to adjust just like everyone else incl other parents."

FTFY. The problem with this argument is it's just as self-centered as the others. If your child starts crying or throwing a fit, go to the bathroom or something, soothe it, and come back. It's not that hard. If your child isn't poorly behaved, it won't cause any other problems. Don't let your child bother other people by being a nuissance. It's not on them it's not their child.

I've never faked an orgasm, but I've def been there. It's rough. They always say "Oh man men don't last long enough" but when they last longer than you...

My new background

I'm aware, but the appimage I run (Slippi Launcher) will run other appimages, and appimage-run can't handle that, since it extracts the appimage, then runs the contents, but it won't automatically do that for other appimages that are run.

Which is why I used a Distrobox and it was awesome, worked like a charm. I used Arch previously, and I just made an Arch distrobox and it worked perfectly.

Probably omitted as "an exercise for the reader" since it's legally grey. And a difficult exercise. I cannot find it at all

BetaWiki is gonna go wild with this.

Sorry for the late reply. In the 2 weeks I've still kept using it and I learned a lot! But a lot of my musings still stand, at least in my mind, but after thinking a little longer, a lot of the thoughts I had also apply to other distros as well.

To answer what you asked in final, a good hypothetical that might answer it is something like GNOME. If the nixos channel blew up in a doomsday scenario, I'd be stuck maintaining my packages myself, right? And I use the doomsday scenario, because the problems here apply for self-made packages as well, but it's easier for me and maybe others to wrap their head around the problem I'm getting at. So with GNOME, I'd have to update every single dependency manually in my nix files. With something like Arch/Alpine I could just have those files, and they have these really neat scripts where I can just bump the version, and it'll download, set the hash up, and bump the version all for me. With Nix there are no such tools. I can't just automate the process, nor is it feasible to do this type of thing manually. As new features are added, so are new options needed to activate those features. And yes, although in this scenario, I would probably just opt to not add these options and set it up myself, when making a package for the general public this isn't the case. If GNOME adds a feature (idk why I picked GNOME I haven't used it in like 5 years) to have extensions managed by the package manager, I'd have to add an option for what extensions are needed and all that. And this is a lot of work, at least as far as I know. The extensions would also have to be packaged.

Gotcha I'll start playing around with derivations. I also just came to the realization that because of the magic of Nix, I can try these things, and if it breaks it, I can just roll back.

So I can use something like systemd.services to make my own services as well? Because I've been wondering how to do this as well.

Gotcha yeah that makes sense, so I'll start doing this as well.
