I landed on oh-my-bash, zoxide and some other utilities. It really improved my terminal experience.

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.

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

And then there’s weird people like me that prefered Vista and 8.1 over 7 and 10.

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.

I’ve been using Manjaro for about 7 years at this point. I’ve had issues maybe 5 times, and nothing I couldn’t fix.

It can break if you disable telemetry.

I personally feel like I have to fight Windows more and more to have it behave like I want it to. You still spend time to configure your Linux of choice, but it doesn’t feel adversary.

I was using Atom, but that died. I work with both Python and Fortran, and VSCode works for my usecase, but I’m open to suggestions.
