From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

YOU'RE NOT MY MOM I'LL DO WHAT I WANT
BRB, putting in a PR to make /etc mode 1777 by default.
My fellow FOSS users, patches are welcome.
Shameless flex

It's empty lol, it's a directory on tmpfs that i use to build programs and similar stuff to not be hammering my ssd with unnecessary writes.
I have $XDG_CACHE_HOME in tmp as well and I moved the mesa sharer caches to $XDG_STATE_HOME as that's really the only thing so far I've needed to preserve.
tmpfs (..) to build programs (..) to not be hammering my ssd with unnecessary writes
Sounds useful. How did you setup the directory?
Running df tells me "tmpfs" is mounted on /run. If I build in that that directory then would it be stored in RAM, or do I need to do something else?
I have /tmp in my fstab with these mount options.
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,noatime,size=20G 0 0
And the rest of the setup is done in my zprofile
I think I should be able to get this working following your zprofile file. Thanks!
This is probably a dumb question, but what program is that?
thunar (and the smaller window is the xfce4-terminal).
Lol, the minimalist window decoration had me thinking you were running a terminal inside of the home directory of your file manager. :D
I've seen weirder things.
Honestly, that's what I thought too, and wanted to check that out
Looks like thunar (default file manager on xfce)
Whoa I’m a stickler for getting as much as I can out but even I have .zshenv and some other too hard to figure out things in there. How’d you manage a total wipeout?
zsh is actually easy and it is detailed in the archwiki
You have to set $ZDOTDIR in /etc/zsh/zshenv and iirc that was the only location that required root to edit.
For the rest of stuff, here is how I fix steam for example and you can check the rest of my dotfiles for how I configured zsh and all of that.
Although I haven't updated them, I still had a .local directory back then, it was 1 week ago that I changed .local for Local and that let to an issue with distrobox which I made a PR fixing it that's still open though.
That’s awesome!
I regret checking this
