There are many things that can stop me from running a program but what distro I'm using is not one of them.

Become distro-agnostic. Don't be afraid of source code.

Seriously, look at what the pkgbuild is doing on Arch and replicate it by hand on your distro of choice. That's all a pkgbuild is: a simple bash installation script.

I like your funny words, computer man. πŸ‘‰πŸ˜€πŸ‘‰

have fun translating all the package names!

True but dependency hell and maintaining updates for that is a headache I wish not to deal with.

[-] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 years ago

AppImage and Docker has resolved a lot of that for me if its not in my distros package manager. It's my goto for the same reason of just not wanting to deal with it.

How do you use appimage for binaries built from source?

[-] sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 years ago

Premade AppImage or self-contained binary, I'll usually drop it into ~/.local/bin.

Something I have to compile, I'll usually do in a dockerfile tracked in my dotfiles repo.

Only thing I've compiled from source on my host in the last year is https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice.

Could just be my use cases now compared to 10 years ago, but I've just found I'm rarely compiling these days on the host system. At least the configure-make-install or ninja variety. I'm sure I install a package here or there that does it in the background. Numpy comes to mind or an AUR package with Arch.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves / tolerates / hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
