Try installing something from homebrew.
Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.
Bruh have fun on x86_64 since you have to compile them all (at least I had to, I might have broken something)
I installed Mono on my M1 MBP last year and it took like four hours to compile 💀
When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.
Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.
Try Nix instead of Homebrew.
Real talk I’ve been using this I’ve mashed together:
update_brew() { bold=$(tput bold); normal=$(tput sgr0); brew --version && echo "${bold} > brew update${normal}" && brew update && echo "${bold} > brew upgrade${normal}" && brew upgrade && echo "${bold} > brew autoremove${normal}" && brew autoremove && echo "${bold} > brew cleanup${normal}" && brew cleanup && echo "${bold} > brew doctor${normal}" && brew doctor; }
Can we get some autoremove love in here?
That’s the sleep command. That is, you type that before going to sleep.
One of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)
But for the love of linus, please read the news feed first!
Ain’t nobody got time for that
Do you use Arch perchance?
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y-yqq, “and don’t say another word until it’s done.”
&& sudo halt -fIt’s quittin’ time! See ya Monday!
Oops, missed a dash, so now you’ll have to come back and finish.
pacman -Syyu
…btw
pacman -Syu
Using -Syyu can cause a partial system upgrade if mirrors are out of sync. It leads to higher traffic for mirror owners and it is considered bad practice overall. There are just a few rare cases where it is useful at all.
Forcing anything should always be a conscious decision and never the default.
I’m so lazy I alias “sudo pacman” to “p”
I have “yeet” for “yay -Rcns”
yay -Syyu
It’s just
yayit will update by default if no parameters are passed.
Why the -y after apt update? I’ve never had to do that on mint
Automatically agrees to everything. Can be dangerous, use with caution. If you’re able to, I wouldn’t use it.
Oh yeah, I actually have a very simple bash script that includes apt upgrade -y (sketchy I know lol). But apt update just updates the sources so doesn’t require the -y as far as I know
Is there a big reason to use
apt-getinstead of justapt? I don’t think I’ve ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.It’s used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.
… wait?
Used for scripting, but not recommended to be used in scripting?
apt-get is used in scripting.
apt isnt recommended to be used in scripting.
Where did these Tarintino shots come from? The man has the pointiest chin.
I have the same question. Honestly, it looks AI generated to me.
I feel that Tanintino would benefit from a beard
rebuild_intelTower_withUpdate() { ./home/scripts/pullrelease.sh nix flake update sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#intelTower --impure --show-trace nix build .#homeConfigurations.bismuth-edp.activationPackage --impure --show-trace activateHM }impure? :(
It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕
I personally use a patch on my nix that allows to evaluate a thunk for the inputs, and have every input in a different file. https://github.com/flafydev/combined-manager
thanks so much for sharing. I’ll give it a look.
My config is at https://github.com/n3oney/nixus
Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again
sudo nix flake update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch —flake .
I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?
I’ve used Gentoo for almost 20 yeas by now. 😋
I’m guessing you just got to actually use it now then
I already completed Linux From Scratch once 20 years ago for shits and giggles. I want to actually use my system, thanks.
