If you’re going to post a code example, at least check that it works. Here’s your example, with no type hints, giving me errors both from the LSP, and when trying to run via mypy: https://imgur.com/a/Hq5Y5Gt.

You can use mypy and/or Pydantic.

Yeah. Part of what I get for paying is the Bridge app so I can use Thunderbird instead of the website. I don’t want or need the LLM thing.

Exactly. archinstall is pretty nice, and if you want the frustration of dealing with random errors, it’s still there. But it’s straightforward (but keep the docs handy since you’ll likely need them).

Yeah. My sister uses Linux, and I’ve taught her basic commands to just make things easier (apt install, cd, ls, that sorta thing). And she knows how to find a decent website for support and copy the commands, which are usually fine.

Oh no. That fits the bill perfectly lol.

Linux Mint with Cinnamon. Easiest transition. If you want customization, use KDE. If you want your desktop environment to make choices for you, GNOME.

Borked your bootloader already? You’re a true Linux user lol. You’ll eventually learn to not do that (and back up regularly).

Good choice with Fedora! I love dnf and the choices Fedora makes overall.

Huh, that’s neat. From their docs it does seem like aside from some scaffolding, I shouldn’t need to write much Rust.

How much Rust do I need to know to use Tauri?

It do be the holiday season.

Curiosity, followed by realizing how good it is for development.

Interesting. Sounds like DevOps folks would love it. Maybe I’ll look into it more. Thanks!

Can someone tell me the recent hype about immutable distros? What exactly is the immutable part, and why is it attractive?

I’ve found it’s a bit overrated honestly. Usually, I also need the commands before and after something, so I use history | grep -B N cmd instead

Yeah, quite frankly I watch so much that it’s just worth it. I don’t use other streaming services, so it’s fine for me.

Oooh I’m stealing these aliases! Odd that I never wondered whether you could have an alias be symbols.

I’ve always thought it was funny how *nix lets you name things in a way that makes it miserable for others lol. I think I had a directory named - because of a mkdir syntax error.

I totally forgot! Makes sense that the implementation is shell-specific.

Wait what??? That’s amazing! I’m learning so much.
