    Try out Proton Mail, the secure email that protects your privacy: proton.me/mail/TheLinuxEXP

      @user-hl7ic7wc1r People treat it like it's this e-mail you can do illegal activities on or that makes you 100% private, it doesn't. E-mail isn't private, it's still better than using gmail.

      @ClokworkGremlin So far, I've been lucky regarding malware (so for as I know). I did, however find someone hacking into my system when I was still new to Linux, but that's to be expected when I was ignorant and ran as root.

  • @foji-video
    @foji-video 2 years ago +761

    only use brew if you dont find the package in your repo.
    Brew can break dependencies, or install non-functional stuff because of different versions. Your own distro package manager has the right versions

    • @cameron_bosch
      @cameron_bosch 2 years ago +53

      Correct. I was just about to say that!
      I know btop (for example), is in the *extra* arch repo. Obviously, if it's available in your distros repos (or even in the AUR on Arch), I'd recommend installing it from there to avoid dependency hell.

    • @jaumesinglavalls5486
      @jaumesinglavalls5486 2 years ago +20

      I only has brew install on mac os, any other os, is not using it, in linux if I don't find the package, simply I build it from code, usually is pretty quick, install some deps, and make build, then add some soft-link into the path, and wala! is there.

    • @johnandmegh
      @johnandmegh 2 years ago +10

      And if it's not in the native (deb/rpm) format, using something like Distrobox or Snap is a far superior alternative

    • @owmylehg7811
      @owmylehg7811 2 years ago +10

      Agreed. Basically all of these were in the Extra repo in Arch. And the few that weren't were in the AUR. A lot of these are super common as well, so you probably won't need brew for any of them.

    FYI, you don't need Atuin to search your bash history. Just press CTRL+R and start typing, then press CTRL+R again as needed to cycle through the matches.

    • @howling-wolf
      @howling-wolf 2 years ago

      I like to use the fzf integration that replaces the standard ctrl+r search with a small window that shows results from your hist based on what you type. Search powered by fzf. Use up/down to move through the list

    • @wesgould1
      @wesgould1 2 years ago +26

      Even better than that... use fzf with control r so you get fuzzy finding with that. No need for atuin at all.
      # CTRL-/ to toggle small preview window to see the full command
      # CTRL-Y to copy the command into clipboard using pbcopy
      export FZF_CTRL_R_OPTS="
      --preview 'echo {}' --preview-window up:3:hidden:wrap
      --bind 'ctrl-/:toggle-preview'
      --bind 'ctrl-y:execute-silent(echo -n {2..} | pbcopy)+abort'

    You can press control-r to reverse search your bash history in vanilla bash and if you press control-r again it will go to the next result

    • @JamesFirth-v
      @JamesFirth-v 2 years ago +4

      Fzf also has the ability to replace the control r search in some shells like zsh which is my favourite way to use it

    • @NostraDavid2
      @NostraDavid2 2 years ago

      Fzf enables me to choose a branch in git, instead of having to do a git branch -a first. Don't have the command by hand, otherwise I would've shared.

    • @circular_logic6217
      @circular_logic6217 2 years ago +6

      For me it's pragmatism, if I can't get it on a native package or Flatpak etc then I prefer Brew over a repo clone. That way I can update these tools more easily than a clone. In addition, a lot of the post-install scrips automate away all the readme steps so you save a little bit of time.

      @TheLinuxEXP  2 years ago +27

      Not necessarily. Your distro might have old versions of these, missing useful features

    • @NameUserOf
      @NameUserOf 2 years ago

      @TheLinuxEXP git release versions. For most of the tools they have nice install explanation and those tools aren't huge like LibreOffice so compiling them is pretty fast.
      Trusting Homebrew is like trusting PPA, not a very good thing. I also support the idea of trusting repos from distro and if you absolutely need something fresh then next stop would be the devs themselves(usually git, sometimes they already have binaries as well).

  • @ferdynandkiepski5026
    @ferdynandkiepski5026 2 years ago +11

    It wasn't mentioned in the video but you can use fd-find by sharkdp to replace find. It is faster, the normal command for it is fd, and it's behaviour is slightly different (i prefer it) but can be set to be identical with the proper options. You can use it for the input into fzf, to make it faster.

    I will note that at 6:55 when you suggest checking if hardware acceleration is enabled, the place you checked will show "true" even if it is not functional! On Arch and some other distros, you will have to manually install a package for your platform to enable hardware acceleration. You can then check if it's actually enabled and functional on Firefox's "about:support" page.

    I loved the format of this video. I knew about all of the mentioned programs (apart from shell history search one that is not even appealing to me since fzf does that already), but I welcome the opportunity to find about new tools in some of the next episodes.

    tlp works with Powertop. From Debian 12's description in Synaptic:
    TLP is a feature-rich command-line utility, saving laptop battery power
    without the need to delve deeper into technical details.
    TLP’s default settings are already optimized for battery life and implement
    Powertop’s recommendations out of the box. Moreover TLP is highly
    customizable to fulfill specific user requirements.
    Settings are organized into two profiles, allowing to adjust between
    savings and performance independently for battery (BAT) and AC operation.
    In addition TLP can enable or disable Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and WWAN radio
    devices on boot.
    For ThinkPads and selected other laptops it provides a unified way
    to configure charge thresholds and recalibrate the battery.

    doas is almost a must have, sudo is kinda complicated to fix and doas is more lightweight, its worth it to try

    Just as a heads up - FZF is available in most, if not all, distros. So you can just install it from there. Also, like atuin, FZF can search your command history with CTRL+R.

    • @nuligebla1173
      @nuligebla1173 2 years ago +6

      or you could just press CTRL+R under normal bash and... what do you know, the same behavior!

    • @opfipip3711
      @opfipip3711 2 years ago

      @nuligebla1173 fzf + CTRL+R is sooo much better than bashs default CTRL+R.
      It sorts results sensibly, ignores typos and shows you a couple of results at once.
      Especially together with setting up your history to grow indefinity, it can be incredibly useful to find "that command pipeline using a tool that was named somewhat like ... that i used to auto-sort my music collection a few years ago" in a few secs.

    • @McSchwetty
      @McSchwetty 2 years ago

      @bla1173 except without the fzf search algo

    • @dhvcc8182
      @dhvcc8182 2 years ago

      @nuligebla1173 not the same at all, fzf search does fuzzy finding from wherever in the command, while default makes you type out the start of the command perfectly, plus I don't remember a way of easily going through similar commands in a search (very usefull with docker/kubectl), been using only for history search for a long time. Although I use quite a lot of commands from this video - fzf is the most needed one for me personally

    • @pesopes
      @pesopes 2 years ago

      ​@nuligebla1173the advantage of using CTRL+R with fzf is (like the name suggests) fuzzy finding

    Terminal history: I am used to type a prefix of an old command line and then cycle through all commands in history with that prefix using PageUp and PageDown. Works after enabling the corresponding settings in /etc/inputrc. Was the default in SuSE.

    Qalculate (`qalc` on the terminal) is quite a powerful calculator. It can solve for x and understands units.

    So in case somebody doesn't want to install a database, if you press Ctrl+R and then type something, it will search it kn your command history. It is fast and useful and better than pressing Up 200 times

    yazi - file manager. Very quick and development is alive and fast as well.
    fd(fd-find) - find replacement, most of the time much faster and easier to use.

    • @PanduPoluan
