i thought most unix-like systems had it symlinked to a shell like dash. it’s what i have on my system (void linux), of course not as an interactive shell lol

i use #!/bin/sh for posix scripts and #!/usr/bin/env bash for bash scripts. #!/bin/sh works for posix scripts since even if it’s symlinked to bash, bash still supports posix features.

editor · neovim configured with fennel

• plugin management · paq-nvim

• better fennel support · tangerine.nvim

• code highlighting · default vim regex, nvim-treesitter

• lsp management · mason.nvim

• …and even more open-source neovim plugins

shell · zshell

• plugin management · antidote

• plugins · belak/zsh-utils, olets/zsh-abbr, zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions, etc.

build system · gnu make

os · voidlinux

not programming related, but i though i’d mention

• krita · for drawing

• freetube · for watching youtube

at first, i though this was setup for a joke

then i saw the content of the post and thought it was some sort of ironic or deadpan joke

…then, coming from the “all” page, i saw the community and the link to an actual news website

same, i actually laughed once i saw the content of the post because i was expecting a joke.

binaries (executables) go in /usr/bin, flatpaks are installed in their own sandboxes, appimages are wherever you put them.

the shortcuts in application menus go in /usr/share/applications as .desktop files which link to the app, so the user generally won’t have to worry about where the executable is.

why would the app store ask you where to install stuff??

i have pirated games before, usually games i wanted to buy but couldn’t at the moment. for example: minecraft, which i played pirated for much time until i could buy it.

honestly, now that you said it it’s really more obvious to me how it could potentially end up benefititng creators. i wouldn’t have bought minecraft if i hadn’t played it before.

how does piracy benefit creators? that sounds unlikely

It’s called a graphical app store. Most distros meant for desktop usage that come with a desktop GUI have a software store. IIRC KDE’s Discover even has Flatpak support which leads to a higher variety of apps.

Otherwise, you can install an AppImage, or just a .deb file if you’re running something Debian-based.

I like Transmission, it’s minimal and downloads torrents.

May I also mention aria2? I don’t think it counts as a torrent client but it supports torrenting.
