What packaging types are there for Rust? Isn’t everything just source-based through cargo?

Rust and Haskell (I think Haskell counts)

Pantheon desktop from elementaryOS.

You can use it on their distro (Ubuntu based with lots of curated apps) or on its own (you can still get access to their curated apps, just not in the store)

EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood. You want classic Mac. I’d say get Xfce4 and theme it yourself then.

• PlatiPlus for window manager theme
• Platinum Gtk2 Theme
• Platinum9 for the Icons

Here’s an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/4l9tlp/xfce_another_nine_based_os_9_based_theme/

I find Rust crates generally have pretty good docs. Docs.rs is a major time saver

complete dealbreaker issues

inability to use 240hz

More like gaming executives

You can build with mingw64 built with msvc and use more or less the same Makefile. As for Xcode… well, there’s not really a good reason to support Mac. On principle I wouldn’t even try

How the heck does a Makefile not scale??? That’s all it does!

Life is and will always be better writing your own Makefiles. It’s literally so easy. I do not get the distaste. Cmake is arcane magic. Bazel is practically written in runes. Makefile is a just a glorified build script, but where you don’t have to use a bunch of if statements to avoid building everything each time.

And yeah I know about NixOS but I like to distro hop and experiment

If you know about NixOS, then you probably know this, but Nix, the package manager/the language behind NixOS, is cross-platform.

I daily drive NixOS, but I also use Nix (and home-manager) on my Fedora music laptop, my Ubuntu home file-server, and my work Windows machine (WSL) to install and configure neovim automatically instead of copying a config, installing all the packages, and running check health over and over again until everything is set up.

I just copy my neovim.nix file over (also other things like zsh.nix) and run home-manager switch

You don’t have to use NixOS to take advantage of its benefits.

Ext4 bc of its speed for games and my main files. Btrfs on the root for compression

It’s a bit more than iced as they’ve created a library on top of it, esp for the theming they desire

Build a project. Learn how to do each step by searching the internet. It’s quite literally that easy.

For C++, yes. But “reference” is just a way of using the pointer when it comes to C

You can use VS Code and Vim/Neovim for any language, as well as document writing and basic text editing. Just search for Go plugins

It shouldn’t be hard to use either. If it is, you’re doing something wrong probably

Just switched to LibreWolf/Mull + KeePassXC/KeePass2Android

Tuta Mail for personal

Thunderbird/K-9 (mobile) for my work’s gmail since the gmail website is garbage

Nvidia and Wayland is still BORKED

Nope

Having used OS X, there is no way they’ve done usability testing. Doing basically everything is hard on OS X
