5 months agoWhy is fzf, the best utility, relegated to the end? And why is ripgrep - a huge improvement over grep, especially if you want to search only on committed files in a git directory - not even mentioned? This list is outrageous. Even more so because I can’t pretend to have known about all of these before, and annoyingly now have to face the fact that some of these actually look pretty handy.
Once your computer’s working to your satisfaction, pretty much all you’ll need to do is alias
sudo packman -Syu
and try to remember to run that every so often. The arch Linux wiki is second to none, and if you stick with the distro you should find it all feels very familiar in no time.
