Why would you
pipeedit: redirect neofetch into your .bashrc?lco@kbin.social · 34 pts · 2y
so that everytime you launch a terminal, your neofetch data is displayed. Because wow, neofetch!!!
It doesn't really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way...
radix@lemm.ee · 37 pts · 2y
But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.
Maybe they meant to say
echo neofetch >> ~/.bashrc.raubarno@lemmy.ml · 24 pts · 2y

This is why you have a dotfiles repository, you noob!
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch · 12 pts · 2y
That's a redirection, not a pipe.

Good catch.

This post is what is giving me the idea to finally set up a dotfiles repo for the first time.

i had i3 run with no problems on some of the worst machines I had to use. I'll fight with anyone that claims i3 is bloat.
darcy@sh.itjust.works · 13 pts · 2y
i love i3
TenTypekMatus@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 2y
i3 with debian, and xfce as alternative desktop environment for when you need someone else to use your machine(and also because xfce apps are nice).

Too smart for NixOS - LMAO! I bet this guy has a conky on his Blackbox.
Rodeo@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 2y
Good old conky lol. Its like it was made to be a config playground, and the actual functionality was an afterthought.

Neofetch and NixOS are bloat.
Arch's X setup sucks, sx is better.
Declamatie@mander.xyz · 14 pts · 2y
Also, 2 GB of dotfiles is bloat
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch · 5 pts · 2y
Must be pretty bad spaghetti code.

But I can't have sx if I use Linux ;(

I do use sx in Arch, though?

It was just an attempt at a dumb stereotypical joke that Linux users don't have sex

True I didn't take this into account. On the other hand we have systemd soft-reboot now.

I write in POSIX shell as a matter of principle.
My "dotfiles" repo is a few Kb in size.
I am too dumb and lazy to try Nix.
I do like using vim keybindings in my terminal.
Neofetch is bloat, I wrote a script that shows some essential information when the machine starts and that's it.

Akchually, binary prefixes are the one and only correct prefixes for counting digital size of information (GiB instead of GB).
darcy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
acckshually, i dont use 'Giga' or 'Mega', i just use bits, in scientific notation: 2.0*10^9
Neon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
That wouldn't be 2 GB, that would be 2 Gb
GB would be 2.0*10^9*8 bits
