I’d like to one day have the confidence to do upgrade -y

henfredemars@infosec.pub on 24 Oct 22:20 next collapse

Balls of steel or ironclad backups.

Or, simply, masochism.

Meltrax@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 11:07 collapse

You forgot apathy. That’s what works for me.

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world on 24 Oct 22:36 next collapse

I believe in you

Draghetta@lemmy.world on 24 Oct 22:52 next collapse

If you haven’t special requirements then just use Debian stable, and never be worried about an update again.

TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org on 25 Oct 00:21 next collapse

Headline: MAJOR EXPLOIT FOUND IN NEW LINUX KERNEL VERSION!

Debian: business as usual...

Draghetta@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 06:50 collapse

TBH I don’t even remember the last time some actually important bug came out on the kernel, long gone are the days of ptrace-kmod.c and hatorihanzo.c

sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works on 25 Oct 08:08 collapse

A while back, somewhere around Linux 5.17, some Intel chips in laptops caused the Linux kernal to rapidly set backlight brightness to 100% then zero. This flashing would likely cause it to break. That’s the last one I remember only a year or so ago.

This only effected arch an it’s varients to my knowledge though, as they were the first to recieve the update, and it was fixed very quickly. To my knowledge nobodies systems were broken from this.

Draghetta@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 09:41 collapse

Ah yes, just like that time when Mandrake kernels burned the cd drives…

Or if you like beating your head against a brick wall constantly NixOS is really hard to brick. Any update that fails can just be reverted with a reboot.

Of course the downside is poor documentation, and nothing at all works like you expect it to work. It’s like hey, you want to learn Linux again from scratch? And by the way no two things work the same.

user@lemmy.one on 25 Oct 00:41 collapse

I always do that. Is that bad on pop os/fedora? I wouldn’t know any different. Selectively choose what to update?

MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub on 25 Oct 02:00 collapse

Apparently apt has a stroke sometimes. I don’t think I’ve had an update fuck up this bad but it’s better to read the output so you know what changed in case something stops working.

Draghetta@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 06:53 collapse

That’s by no means a routine upgrade though, the guy just “upgraded to” backports which you’re not even supposed to do. Not comparable to the soothingly boring apt upgrade of Debian stable.

MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub on 25 Oct 09:07 collapse

True, it’s just an example to always look at the output. I’ve definitely used that in Fedora to reinstall packages when something stopped working after an upgrade.

(Maybe this doesn’t happen by itself in Debian but I wouldn’t trust Ubuntu for example)

BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world on 24 Oct 23:13 next collapse

For the Flatpak apt upgrade how about “flapt”.

myrmidex@slrpnk.net on 24 Oct 23:14 next collapse

Added the exa aliases. Nice to see pacman points exa to eza as the former is unmaintained.

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 00:29 collapse

I did notice that recently and am planning to move

some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org on 24 Oct 23:25 next collapse

They’re too long. Geez, learn to implement shorthand or acronyms. What are you a monster?

/roast

savvywolf@pawb.social on 25 Oct 00:01 next collapse

vim

Opinion disregarded.

As an aside: I really wish flatpaks would put symlinks or something in ~/.local/bin so you could just run them without the flatpak run boilerplate.

Virual@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 25 Oct 01:17 collapse

They sorta do. Flatpak user install puts shims in ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/. You just need to add it to your path.

I’m pretty sure flatpak system installs are at /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/ so you’d just add that to path.

savvywolf@pawb.social on 25 Oct 12:54 collapse

Oh, neat. Surprised that isn’t added to the default paths though.

It also still does the annoying name.like.this for binary names rather than just using normal names though.

krolden@lemmy.ml on 25 Oct 01:53 next collapse

I use lsd how is nexa?

slickJujitsu@lemmy.today on 25 Oct 04:02 next collapse

Nice aliases! But I’m a fan of topgrade for updating

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 04:30 next collapse

Omg yes pls

narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee on 25 Oct 05:32 collapse

Why when a simple alias will do?

slickJujitsu@lemmy.today on 25 Oct 06:33 collapse

Laziness, mostly

narc0tic_bird@lemm.ee on 25 Oct 07:06 collapse

I think I have a simple function in my .zshrc file that updates flatpaks and runs dnf or zypper depending on what the system uses. This file is synced between machines as part of my dotfiles sync so I don’t have to install anything separate. The interface of most package managers is stable, so I didn’t have to touch the function.

This way I don’t have to deal with a package that’s on a different version in different software repositories (depending on distribution) or manually install and update it.

But that’s just me, I tend to keep it as simple as possible for maximum portability. I also avoid having too many abstraction layers.

therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip on 25 Oct 07:08 next collapse

You forgot alias the_purge=“sudo rm -rf /”

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 12:53 collapse

For French language removal?

Blisterexe@lemmy.zip on 25 Oct 15:50 collapse

Non! Aie pitié, je vous en supplie!

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 20:40 collapse

Hmmm blank comments after removing French language

BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 15:31 next collapse

Quick FYI - Exa is no longer fully maintained; there is a fork called Eza which is maintained. They couldn’t take over the original Exa repo as the original creator is unreachable. Eza is in many distros; I’ve installed it on OpenSuSe Tumbleweed with ease from the factory-oss.

InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world on 25 Oct 15:58 collapse

Switched!

razorozx@lemm.ee on 25 Oct 17:08 collapse

I use flatpak, pacman, and yay for my software management. I unify the basic needs by using these aliases:

SEARCH
fsearch = flatpak search <input>
psearch = pacman -Ss <input>
ysearch = yay -Ss <input>

REMOVE
fremove
premove
yremove

LIST
flist
plist
ylist

GARBAGE COLLECTION
fcg
pcg
ycg

And so on.

Additionally I also gave ucg as well as an all-in-one garbage collector command.
