For anything more complicated than an alias, I tend to suck it up and write a program. I used to keep launcher scripts in ~/bin but I’ve recently taken to creating package manager packages for them. I’ve learned how to do that with NixOS and Arch Linux and I peeked at the Debian documentation.

I installed Arch for the very first time this past weekend. I am a software engineer with almost 30 years experience and some time less with Linux. I did my research beforehand: I watched a manual installation on YouTube and I went over the wiki.
And the manual installation was hard. I would not recommend it to a beginner.
he is still completely new to this so I want things to work out perfectly for his first experience.
This isn’t Arch, sorry. My own Arch didn’t boot the first time (but yes I was able to fix it quickly).
I would call Visual Studio Code a success story for them
Yep. NixOS inspired me to write my very first package manager package. I distro hopped to Arch Linux and wrote a PKGBUILD for that.
I’m back on NixOS
