    Setting Aliases because I can't remember the new ones

    I got a buddy who switched to EndeavourOS after using Linux Mint for about a year, He said he was too lazy to learn pacman/yay so he spent an hour making fake apt aliases, I forgot what happened but after a while he gave up on it and just got use to pacman.

    I'm fine with using pacman in general, but always forget how to uninstall an app completely. So I set the alias yeet for that. Since then, I've also set it on different systems like dnf.

    I've found a cheat sheet from apt to pacman/yay that helped me with that

    [–] [email protected] 61 points 6 months ago

    Writing all those aliases probably helped him learn pacman.

    I just set

    upd = <distro update command>
ins = <distro install command> 
pur = <distro purge command>
uin = <distro uninstall command>

    in every distro, I don't know why you'd want package management to be distro specific commands

    You could also use the pkcon command.

    ins and uin for some reason feels wrong, like inst and tsni feels more right to me and I know it shouldn’t.

    Bash was a mistake.

    Creates a Time Machine to go back to 1988 and tell them do not create bash

    You could go for unst and drop sick rave beats

    ins feels like insert. uin feels like it skips the first n on accident. To me, anyways.

    tsni feels so wrong 😭

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I know but some strange part of me loves it

    You’re the kind of guy that ends if statements with fi and you should be ashamed.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I can’t tell you how many times the missing fi has hurt my feelings and made me waste precious hours of my life

    A punishment fitting the crime, the universe is balanced once more.

    I’m kind of curious how far he got with this
