  • yazi v25.12.29 released (a terminal filemanager written in Rust)

    Jump

  • I don't know the exact definition of what vibe coding means, other than using Ai. This project exist since 2 years (if not longer) and I use it since a long time now (not regularly, just here and there). It's an amazing tool and by far the best of its type (terminal filemanager) in my opinion. You can look into the code and judge yourself if that is of bad Ai quality. I personally don't care how many emojis they use on their README or website. Using the program itself, I don't see any emojis.

  • The Efficiency Paradox: Why Making Software Easier to Write Means We'll Write Exponentially More

    Jump

  • How is that a paradox? It's like saying its a paradox that cameras on phone made it much easier to photograph and as a result, people make more photos. That isn't a paradox, that is natural. Same for writing software.

  • "Brodie" mentioned. To be fair on the Arch side, they are clear the system could break with an update and you should always read the Arch news in case of manual intervention. You can't fault Archlinux for users not following the instructions. This is pretty much what Arch stands for.

  • Given the end of Windows 10 and how many are not happy with Windows 11, its probably an thing the community themselves is responsible for. Also lot of popular YouTubers make videos about Linux, which surely contributes to the popularity increase of the topic in YouTube. I wouldn't attribute this perceived change to YouTube itself.

  • DistroWatch - The best open source operating systems of 2025

    Jump

  • Distrowatch list is just how many people click the page on Distrowatch. It's not a general metric how many people use it.

  • DistroWatch - The best open source operating systems of 2025

    Jump

  • How can you say a distribution is the best? There are lot of use cases where many distributions are optimized for. They are just not an allrounder general one like "Ubuntu" in example. There should be some categories, at least some popular categories like "Gaming" that is separate from "General Purpose" or "Server".

    I'm surprised Bazzite was not mentioned. I'm glad EndeavourOS was mentioned.

  • What do people love about Rust?

    Jump

  • I like that I have to think in Rust before compiling, not after.

  • What Have I Learned From Daily Driving Arch Linux For Three Years?

    Jump

  • I was a bit reluctant at first (pun intended)

    I think this is the Reluctant Anarchist guy from YouTube? His writing style would match the way he talks in the videos.

  • What Have I Learned From Daily Driving Arch Linux For Three Years?

    Jump

  • It depends on the distribution. In example Manjaro was unstable for me, while EndeavourOS is stable for the most part. In fact, Manjaro was holding back packages and is less rolling release than EndeavourOS, and yet less stable (for me). :D

  • What Have I Learned From Daily Driving Arch Linux For Three Years?

    Jump

  • Exactly. The term "stable" in connection with software has the same problems of "free"; without understanding the context, it can be interpreted wrongly. "stable" type of distributions are meant to be "unchanging" in the sense of feature freeze. That off course depends on the distro or software in general how far this goes. Archlinux is "unstable" in the sense it is ever changing and adapting new technologies by breaking compatibility; something Debian does not.

  • What's the point of lightweight code with modern computers?

    Jump

  • On a slightly different example, the suckless project has a huge emphasizes on lightweight code, which they call "suckless". I don't think in this case faster is the goal, but having less code and be simple as possible (not even configuration files allowed, you just recompile program) and almost no documentation in the code either. But the idea is the same, of having "lightweight" code.

    • The fastest code is the code you don't run.

    Not really. The code can be slow, even if I do not run it. Also, sometimes additional code can do optimization (like caching), which is more code = faster. Or additional libraries, complexity and code paths can in example add multicore execution, which could speed up. So, I do not buy the less code is faster logic.
