I’m just happy my boi nix got a shoutout.
I love having a packages file and a lock file, both user-specific rather than system-wide, offering reproducibility, stability and a good, central place where I can see what I did to debug.
Fonzie!

Nobody said anything about the init system, though.

That reads sus. Like “Trust me bro” in nicer words.

It didn’t show up when I first visited it, but it did after a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R)
I didn’t copy anything to the clipboard, though.
Firefox 137.0 (64-bit) on Linux 6.8.0-57-generic on Mint 22.1
Ah, yeah okay, good to know!
My 3D experience went swimmingly on my N3DS 😅

The uutils are MIT licensed, simply put it means “do whatever you want with it, as long as you credit us”.
The coreutils are GPL, simply put “do whatever you want with it but only in other GPL works, also credit us”.The coreutils make sure forks will also be open source.
While the uutils aren’t closed source, they do allow you to make closed source forks.The uutils’ license is too permissive.
Likely not anytime soon as they tend to hold off latest features and prefer older (but maintained) LTS versions of just about everything. Also especially not if it turns out to be a bad idea; they explicitly build Mint without Snaps since their inclusion in the Ubuntu base.
Mainly memory safety;
split(which is also used for other programs likesort) had a memory heap overflow issue last year to name one. The GNU Coreutils are well tested and very well written, the entire suite of programs has a CVE only once every few years from what I can see, but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.That said, Rust also handles parallelism and concurrency much better than C ever could, though most of these programs don’t really benefit from that or not much since they already handled this quite well, especially for C programs.
uutils/Linux?
The only 3DS I had was a N3DS, maybe that explains why I’ve never had issues with the 3D while most people seem to complain about it?
What is this table from? Is it from some website?

Sure, ok, that’s still my daily driver, it’s incredibly stable (and no, it’s not fucking outdated), but other than that it doesn’t help so much against accidentally borking your system.
So in this context, I’m recommending @sockpuppetsociety@lemm.ee NixOS.
May I introduce you to my lord and saviour NixOS?
And not somehow break it more from there? Impressive!
I can see how you were confused, but maybe don’t phrase it like that next time lol.
That’s true, I’ll keep it in mind! I thought I was being funny but I was just confusing and crude
That’s so true, I was missing this part! With homebrew you’re at the mercy of whoever put the package out there, much like with installers (and nix to be fair)
LMAO no‽ Flatpaks can be verified, and you can choose not to install unverified flatpaks (which you should!) They are also containerised pretty well by default, in case they’re malicious!
