Try installing something from homebrew.

Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.

    When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.

    Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.

    Can we get some autoremove love in here?

    That's the sleep command. That is, you type that before going to sleep.

    One of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)

    pacman -Syu

    Using -Syyu can cause a partial system upgrade if mirrors are out of sync. It leads to higher traffic for mirror owners and it is considered bad practice overall. There are just a few rare cases where it is useful at all.

    Forcing anything should always be a conscious decision and never the default.

    Oops, missed a dash, so now you'll have to come back and finish.

    Is there a big reason to use apt-get instead of just apt? I don't think I've ever used apt-get in years, always using just apt.

    I updated my RPi zero running pi hole today. I had to disable pi hole, and even then it took well past half an hour to update...

    I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?

    What are the chances, I'm currently waiting for apt-get upgrade to finish while browsing Lemmy.

    sudo nix flake update && sudo nixos-rebuild switch —flake .

    Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again

    Where did these Tarintino shots come from? The man has the pointiest chin.

    I feel that Tanintino would benefit from a beard

    It pulls in flakes from flakes. So, unless I want to travel the whole dependency graph down all of the flakes and put them in my top-level flake, I have to use impure. 😕

    I personally use a patch on my nix that allows to evaluate a thunk for the inputs, and have every input in a different file. https://github.com/flafydev/combined-manager

    This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I'd never experienced an update taking longer than a minute or two before then
