If I were to do a 1:1 image of my #archlinux laptop setup to an SSD installed in a desktop, would I in theory run into any major issues?
Major changes:
Is there a simple way (like an environment variable) to tell #unix/#linux/#bsd commandline applications that I'm running in light mode, so PLEASE do not give me yellow on white text?
Or do I just need to modify my terminal colors to be darker? (doesn't help with programs that pick specific colors)
@sullybiker Oh, if you’re into the #Unix tradition and philosophy then you need to learn #Perl. No other general-purpose #programming language has Unix baked into it so deeply.
This is hilarious. A #Google engineer invented #zx to make command line scripting easier with #NodeJS, because at a certain point #shell scripts get too complicated and you need a Real #Programming Language.
This is exactly #Perl’s use case from thirty-six years ago. But the kids want #JavaScript everywhere and would rather it take more work to convert their ascended #Bash scripts to a vastly different syntax.
“#ShellJS is a portable implementation of #Unix#shell commands on top of the #NodeJS API. […] say goodbye to those gnarly #Bash scripts!”
Of course, #PerlPowerTools also exists if you want Unix commands that work the same everywhere. It has exactly four dependencies to download from #CPAN outside of the #Perl core.
