I use Migadu but you need your own domain for that and also it is paid.

Just use Alpine. Chimera uses Alpine’s package manager anyway. The only reason you havent heard about Alpine in this context is because they do not claim they are doing anything revolutionary, they just strive to make a great distro.

Chimera Linux actually uses apk or Alpine Package Keeper as its package manager, they acknowledge this but despite that market themselves as if they did something revolutionary that has never been done before

njal.la is a domain registrar, they do not and never have operated dhlsucks.com, they just provided the domain to someone and dhl contacted them to take the site down

njal.la my beloved <3

btw I suggest checking out their blog it is hillarious

what about autocmd on DirChanged or VimEnter that sets the option?

I could watch 2 seconds before realizing it is a vtuber. Promptly blocked.

That thumbnail is completely ruined by the soyface.

FlorisBoard from F-Droid

Think of AppImage like a standalone executable on windows, you download it, it just works and thats good. But it doesnt get automatic updates and to get a new feature you need to download it again. Flatpaks and Snaps don’t have this issue and are more like traditional package managers.

No need to give permissions, you can place the files directly into flatpak’s directory. I don’t know the exact path because I use librewolf but it is something like:

~/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/.librewolf

Just look for folders with firefox/mozzila in its name.

OpenSUSE

inb4 but thats a corporate distro, it is just sponsored by SUSE but is community maintained

I agree that there are not many distros that are both user friendly and not forks of something else, but I don’t see it as an issue, imo there is nothing wrong with forks.

A blog of course.

You can wrap the call in pcall, which is a lua builtin for catching errors, which would suppress the error and let you know if the command failed.

You could for example do:

local ok, res = pcall(vim.cmd.write)
if not ok
then
    vim.notify('write failed with: ' .. res)
end

There are both lua and vim functions for writing to files but I recommend to not use them in this scenario, they write to the file directly and dont trigger autocommands.

I understand your frustration with no consitent error reporting and clear api, but I guess that’s the consequence of the entire history of vi and vim and trying to be backwards compatible.

vim.cmd.<command> calls a command. So vim.cmd.write is effectively the same as :write, the arguments passed to the function are the same that the command would take. Check :h vim.cmd() and for a specific command, e.g. write, you can check :h :write.

You can call commands and vim functions from lua. To write the current buffer you can: vim.cmd.write(). Vim functions can be called with vim.fn.

It is completely fine to use vim functiona and not just pure lua, afaik some vim functions are not ever gonna get a lua alternative cause there is no need.

maybe watcha.movie?

Yeah, its extremely minimal, but thats part of the appeal for me.

For automounting I just have udev rule for my usb drive, which is ok, but if I had to use a bunch of different drives for whatever reason I’d probably setup polkit.

I only ever used systemd for services and did not use any of the other features. Openrc does that and it works so nothing to handle.

I use seatd and I do not use polkit. The only thing that caught me off guard was that the default login binary does not support PAM so I had to install shadow-login.

I do use flatpak for lutris, web browser and few other things, but I prefer native packages. If the package isn’t in the repos I package it myself, the package format is almost identical to the one Arch has so a lot of times its enough to just edit the dependencies and build.
