Another cool thing was me being able to replicate my home environment with chezmoi [1] — I love this piece of software so much!

All in all, my work PC is now snappier, more beautiful, and a blessing to use. Seriously, give Fedora a try; it’s the Ubuntu of the 2020s.

@kytta piping curl into sh... especially a non-https one. Why are people still doing this.

@Anachron it's basically HTTPS: if you try to request the HTTP version, it'll auto-redirect. Also, one doesn't have to pipe the script if one doesn't trust it, there are many other ways to use this software

@kytta I know,- it just shows newcomers that this is something everybody does and it is supposed to be secure. But its not. It's dangerous and people should stop advertising it.

Imagine some website is hacked and people install packages this way only.

Nobody would recognize that their system is compromised.

We have a reason for package managers.
