Please, most people don't know how to use a scientific calculator at all.

That sounds great but I don't want to keep the 'rm' muscle memory in case I'm on another computer and delete something important. Having to use 'trash' instead makes you more conscious when it errors out.

Alias rm to echo and install trash. Saved me many times.

[–] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah at this point I've aliased 'rm' to nothing and exclusively use 'trash'.

A lot of people are telling you to not use manjaro and to use endeavour instead. I've been using manjaro for 6 years and it's fine, in the end they offer very similar user experience.

For package management, I do everything with yay now. Just calling it on it's own will update everything, with keywords it will search and ask you what to install. The only flag you have to know is -R to uninstall.

For the shell bash is perfectly fine, but if you want more features take a look at ohmybash.

I've been running it on my work laptop for 6 years at this point and I've had no major issues I couldn't solve.

Having said that, I recently switched my gaming rig over to endeavour and it's been great.

If I want to look at the world through a screen I'd stay home and watch a documentary.

The camera they use will never have the acuity, color perception and dynamic range that your eyes have. It probably doesn't work super well in dark environment and it's definitely completely useless for stargazing.

I've had to teach folders, file types and extensions to lots of ~18 yo. When I ask them where they saved a files they get confused and generally respond with something like "on the computer".
