Glad to see more translations show up!

Exactly. I don’t use Omarchy, but I think it is good someone did a polished distro for a specific use case, and some web dev Windows users will surely find it more appealing than a generic distro where they need to figure out a lot of stuff from scratch.
- Otto@programming.devOPtoSelfhosted@lemmy.world•Which open alternative apps list is the best?English1·6 months ago
To me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don’t have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.

I am asking for general strategies, not for a solution to a specific case.

By UV 3000 you probably don’t mean the ultraviolet lamp that is the first page of Google is full of when searching with this term…? I doubt UV - whatever it is - is a common approach.

I just prefix all my git aliases with

You need bisect only as a last resort. Effective use of
git blame,git log -p -S <keyword>etc has always been enough for me. Also, the projects I work with take 10+ minutes to compile even when cached, so doing tens of builds to bisect is much slower than just hunting for strings in git commits and code.

I had the same feeling until I started using
gitk. I always have agitkwindow open and press F5 to reload, so it shows me the state of everything after I’ve run git commands. Now I grasp everything much better.

Try again tomorrow, seems it got popular today
I welcome more paid schemes, such as Ubuntu Pro, as I believe it is beneficial for the whole ecosystem.
