Yeah, this is something I stressed at my place. Your Jeninksfile should set up environment variables, authentication related stuff, and call out to some build tool to build the project. The Jenkinsfile should also be configure to use a docker container to run the build within. In projects at my place that’s a Docker file on the project that ultimately sets up and installs all the tools and dependencies required for a valid build environment that’s just checked in along side the Jenkinsfile.

Just do an infinite loop

exec_once = zsh -c 'while true; do waybar; done'

If you are on endeavour, I don’t think there’s much point jumping to plain Arch if you are all setup and comfortable. I say this as a pure Arch user 😛 Not much will change for you, you’ll just be pissing away a day to setup everything you’ve already setup on endeavour again.

Nah, I’d rather put together my own PKGBUILD on Arch, so I have an mostly repeatable build for a package that doesn’t exist in repos. Bonus, I can share that if I wish and make others life easier.

Can they solve the same problems as IT pros? Sure! But it’ll take them longer and the solution might be a little weird.

Well the person just wants a solution that works. They didn’t say it has to be the best solution of all solutions.

Vim or emacs? I mean I know they were created a long time ago, but they are both pretty good pieces of software, both highly configurable. I don’t understand people aversion to them, rather than having the false belief that they are too complicated? When in reality they just aren’t intuitive in terms of modern stuff. But they aren’t difficult, just different.

I am an Arch user and I still don’t get it either. When Arch borks something it’s rarely catastrophic. At worst it’s throw in the live USB, mount your drive and fiddle. And if you are going in as an Arch user, fiddling is something you sign up for.

Well glad you got it sorted.

Funny. The one time I installed it, I just stuck it on a usb, booted from it, started the installer, next, next, done.

I really didn’t have much of a different experience between installing pop os Vs Ubuntu.

I guess some weird hardware thing that Pop OS doesn’t provide for?

Thought so.

Doesn’t Mint make installing Nvidia drivers pretty simple?

I’d be more interested in knowing how many people are sticking with Linux.

What issues besides insert windows program doesn’t work.

Places where the average switcher has problems that aren’t just user error or misunderstanding some fundamental difference, but good places that the community can investigate and improve on.

I mean for most Linux derivatives, getting SSH setup for outgoing connections is usually install the openssh package from your distros repos, though I imagine many preinstall it, no reboot should be necessary, and you just type ssh user@hostname into a terminal to connect to the remote ssh server to access stuff on that computer. There shouldn’t be a need to reboot for installing app that’s not a service.

Wanting to enable ssh access to the computer you are using so a remote client can connect to it? Well the same openssh package should have come with sshd which acts as the server to allow remote ssh client to connect. It’d probably need enabling (so it’s run automatically on boot) and starting (so you don’t have to reboot to have it going), on distributions using systemd that’s usually just systemctl enable sshd.service (which makes sure the sshd daemon will be started on next boot) followed by systemctl start sshd.service to start it immediately so it’s running straight away, (or systemctl enable sshd.service --now to roll both steps into one).

I’d just point out, for running an executable, wine isn’t JITting anything at least as far as I’m aware. They’ve implemented the code necessary to read .exe files and link them, and written replacements libraries for typical windows DLLs, that are implemented using typical Linux/POSIX functions. But since, in most cases, Linux and windows runs on the same target CPU instructions set most of the windows code is runnable mostly as is, with some minor shim code when jumping between Linux calling conventions to windows calling conventions and back again.

Of course, this may be different when wine isn’t running on the same target CPU as the windows executable. Then there might be JITing involved. But I’ve never tested wine in such a situation, thoughI’d expect wine to just not work in that case.

This seems incorrect, if it’s running natively, it doesn’t need to rely on wine…

Maybe. To be fair, most of what’s important to me to do what I need to do. Like individual applications are available on most other distros, and my dot files, and hence configuration for those applications, is where most of my tinkering time was spent and they are stored in repository. I share this between between my work Mac (macos) my desktop (Arch) and my personal laptop (also Arch). I would be able get going on another Distro pretty quickly if I decided to.

But I really do love Arch. I can get going with Arch on fresh machine quickly too, I now know my way around it, where to look for info, and generally just what to do to achieve what I want to do.

You don’t know me in real life. But I use Arch. It started out as a way to get a more thorough understanding of the bits and pieces that make up Linux. Now that it’s all setup and configured, it all just works, and works the way I made it work. I don’t need to tinker with it much now, unless I want to. It’s probably the only Distro I’ll use from now to the end of time, because I’m quite content with it.

Considering the many millions of steam accounts. A 1% increase is nothing to sniff at.

I mean having control over everything also means you have control to not exercise control. Android as a phone OS, depending on what the phone manufacturer has changed, has pretty sane defaults. I can’t say I’ve ever seen the need to switch to iPhones. My Android phone works excellently as a phone.

While Nvidia isn’t as great on Linux as other cards. It generally works. It’s pretty much fine on Xorg, slowly getting there with Wayland. At least using Nvidia with Hyprland which wlroots based Wayland compositor worked for most cases.
