(Edit: I always forget that Beehaw will convert every ampersand character in code segments to &
. Have this in mind when reading the code below. Do you have these problems too with your instance?)
If you update your system from terminal, do you have a shortcut that bundles bunch of commands? I'm on EndevourOS/Arch using Flatpak. Rustup is installed and managed by itself. The empty command is a function to display and delete files in the trash using the program trash-cli
. In my .bashrc:
alias update='eos-update --yay \
; flatpak uninstall --unused \
; flatpak update \
; rustup update \
; empty'
empty() {
trash-empty -f --dry-run |
awk '{print $3}' |
grep -vF '/info/'
trash-empty -f
}
I just need to type update
. Also there are following two aliases, which are used very rarely, at least months apart and are not part of the main update routine:
alias mirrors='sudo reflector \
--protocol https \
--verbose \
--latest 25 \
--sort rate \
--save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist \
&& eos-rankmirrors --verbose \
&& yay -Syyu'
alias clean='paccache -rk3 \
&& paccache -ruk1 \
&& journalctl --vacuum-time=4weeks \
&& balooctl6 disable \
&& balooctl6 purge \
&& balooctl6 enable \
&& trash-empty -f'
This question is probably asked a million times, but the replies are always fun and sometimes reveals improvements from others to adapt.
still in the setup phase and running LabWC rather than a full desktop – but actually rather enjoying it and have been stumbling across a lot of cases finding out that even with a GUI installed, terminal programs do just as good a job if not better than their graphical counterparts (ex. I don’t think I’ll ever be a full vim/emacs convert, but for basic text editing, nano does just as well as mousepad/leafpad/featherpad/xed/gedit)
You could give helix a try, feature/functionality wise it's almost vim, but with 0 config needed and all commands easily discoverable which is closer to nano.
As someone who really tried to get into modal editors, both emacs and vim, for years, it was the first one where i was reasonably fast after a short time and it was easy to discover the keybindings.
