Facts

[@ustav_o]

absolutely chad. tried arch, nix, manjaro, debian, ubuntu, mint and neon but i preffer biglinux

[@thelazt16]

true, I've been using linux for almost a decade now and arch user for ~6 years and arch is the "closest experience to windows" as it follows the " bleeding edge" part of windows whereas you update apps as soon as stable release comes out unless of course you love living on the edge and use all the development (git) version 🤣🤣🤣

[@itsmenewbie03]

I use EndeavourOS, the tiling WM(hyprland) is a game changer in programming

[@yp5387]

I had an old laptop laying around and I tried Omakub on it and I loved it. I didn't get any error and it was straight forward.

[@erics7004]

Very nice looking distro. Finally a distro where you don't have to waste time intalling and configuring everything like Arch.

[@typecraft_dev]

Hah. True

[@henriquepicanco97]

I took Just Perfection, Space Bar, Blur my Shell and Forge (instead Tactile) and now I have a Tiling Windows GNOME setup, omakub-inspired.

I like my choices and I don’t prefer a pre-configured distribution. But I do appreciate the work and hey it’s a win for such targeted audience.

[@TheExileFox]

10:28 NO - please do not confuse the "new" Visual Studio Code with the classic Visual Studio - There are lots of differences between the two, especially when the code your writing needs to be compiled or debugged. This is because vscode piggybacks of for example GDB which is installed along with the OS. In the classic Visual Studio, this is not the case, instead: Visual Studio installs not only a compiler, but also the debugging tools. Ontop of this the way you configure the two are VERY different. Visual Studio uses text files that are relatively easy to edit even using the most basic text editor. But vscode uses json and json has a few limitations: it does not support any kind of comments and the file is typically a single line, making it more awkward to edit it if your not used to editing json files.

[@typecraft_dev]

Haha yeah I misspoke. I use vscode so little that the name is very foreign to me and I said it wrong :)

[@Sajjad-il7ql]

I tried lot of distro's especially ubuntu based distro's but none of them are good as arch. And thanks to your neovim configuration tutorials it's much better.❤

[@typecraft_dev]

You're welcome!

[@Apollo1_]

i tried this on a dual boot and ran into nothing but issues trying to get it working, it eventually led me to start working with NixOS instead

[@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX]

NixOS users know that it's the ultimate endgame distro. These distros are just shipping with an existing config. You could easily create a nixos config to perfectly match the omakub default

[@Mike-zx7lq]

@@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX That was my first thought -- make a Nix config that sets up the same stuff as Omakub as a base.

[@M.MaX1]

So basically all what you will get is a theme, background, chrome, terminal and nice vim theme. When I read the title "programmers new to Linux" I was expecting something built for the programmers like built-in IDEs, Maybe some scrips or package manager to install different SDKs, One click to install deployment environment or list of the best programming tool for different categories and some other stuff like the ones you find in distribution made for hackers

[@opposite342]

Yeah the distro is actually not a distro but basically a glorified dotfiles. Imo still pretty cool as it'll help ppl transferring from windows etc.

[@M.MaX1]

[@QuOUseTERSEa]

it's hard to get latest packages on Ubuntu, my dotfiles for mac just doesn't work for Ubuntu cuz some flags are missing in some CLIs (outdated). I recommend a rolling release distro. For server, Ubuntu is fine.

This is meant for a fresh Ubuntu install. if that's not your case you should try poking around the scripts and just install/configure what you want. I did that because im on mint

[@ShootApple]

What's the model of the tinkpad you use?

[@shikamaru676]

This is cool and all, but the omakase is the polar opposite of freedom of choice if I'm not mistaken, however nice project and nice video tho. Also for every newbie out there: please do not pipe random scripts from the internet to your bash/sh without reading the source code!

[@007arek]

You have the choice to install it or not. 😅

[@jaimeFaithBasedOne]

You can also browse source and apply the bits you like.

[@TheRealCornPop]

It's just an opinionated Ubuntu configuration. Kinda like how Ubuntu has opinions on what are sane defaults, and what EndeavorOS is to Arch. I quite like the approach of a simple configuration over a distro rather than a whole other distro just for changing the theme and some config, which a lot of Ubuntu flavours are guilty of

[@mbk0mbk]

the code is well modularized too. you can easily go through it and understand what what each script does.

[@jaimeFaithBasedOne]

Yeah, I’m a recent Debian with gnome user, I’ve really enjoyed browsing the source and applying the bits I like. I was really confused for a moment thinking they were applying shell themes late one night, when I realized the shell change was just an accent color…

[@juancarloshernandez2545]

[@TrueWordsOfEternity]

Can this also be installed on PopOs tomorrow when 24.04 comes out?

[@Novacification]

We're locked into Ubuntu at work, so this could actually be pretty useful. Might have to test this out to see if I can get away with running this at work. At the very least I can get away with running it in a VM. Would be nice to get an out of the box setup for work, so I don't have to convince my manager that I need to spend 50% of my time tinkering with my own setup :D

can I install that on debian as-well?

[@OmkaraD]

PreBuilt, PreConfigured, PreBloated and ubuntu based is never about the freedom and open source. And if you use linux for development, I'm sure you can configure linux yourself easily with things you need and use, not with thousand packages and services you will never use. If you need PreBloated and PreConfigured distro - you can use windows as well, there is no diference.

2:45 - "Apple being good guys" - this is something that only apple user can say. No Apple is the worst for devs are they are support they own soucions only for: example they have only support for very old OpenGL version for years, now when every one switched to Vulkan they go with suporting only thier own solucion Metal. They same with iOS (iPhone/iPad) only for them you have Mac to build/develop for them, and unitly recently on iOS all alt. webrowsers was just diffrent skins for Safari.

It's a very cool project with a couple of fundamental flaws imo (not necessarily deal breakers), like its dependency on gnome extensions which will inevitably break sooner rather than later, or its weird app choices (Chrome is at odds with all privacy and freedom, two of the three reasons you outline at the beginning of the video to give this script a go). Great initiative, but unsustainable in the long run.

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

Real. People always accuse MacBooks to be expensive, overpriced, etc. while a Windows laptop of the same quality is as expensive if not more (Dell XPS for example). For the majority of people, even the cheapest MBA is more than satisfactory. I have been using the MBA M1 since 2021, it has never let me down. Amazing battery life, amazing build quality, everything just works out of the box. By works, I mean truly works seamlessly. Don't be fooled by numbers such as 8/16 GB RAM etc., try to use it and see if it is enough.

a begginer should start with something free of systemD YOU do not trust apple but you trust poettering and microsoft ?

[@casadogaspar]

Open source is very dangerous, unless you verify all packages you're installing yourself, Jia Tan send your regards. Home Brew is way better than most of linux package managers, and it exists for linux too. Containers solve these deploy problems, I can develop in a potato if it runs containers. And good look changing the RAM in a ARM chip where CPU-RAM-GPU are the same piece, about storage use a external SSD. About the budget YES, I bought my first MacBook in 2020, have been using Linux since the 90's and it was a life safer than I didn't had the funds to buy hardware I have today. About the linux presented on the video, I prefer Arch BTW.

@@thelazt16 To be honest, I have never had to reinstall Arch because I have never encountered any issues. I am using up-to-date packages and have been running Arch for 173 days. Before Arch, I was using Artix Linux, which is a fork of Arch. The reason for the switch was Nvidia's nvtop, which requires systemd as the init system, whereas Artix is a non-systemd distro. Altogether, I have spent more than 250 days on Arch.

[@ernestodelgato930]

Apple? The good guy? I don't understand...

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

I love Linux and have been using it for years but some of the ideas in this video just don't work: You mentioned freedom when talking about reasons to use Linux but the example you gave was hardware-related. I understand the argument against Apple but that simply holds no weight against Windows, since most Linux hardwares are simply old Windows Laptops. If you have the freedom to upgrade the RAM for Linux, you have the same freedom with Windows. Freedom of choice and Omakase simply do not mix. Omakase means you give up your freedom of choice and leave that choice to someone else. One of the main appeal of Linux is it being non-bloated. Modern Ubuntu itself is arguably bloated, Ubuntu with Omakub is definitely bloated, it being literally Ubuntu + pre-installed and pre-configured tools and apps. And why Chrome!? Why would anyone want a pre-customized tools that Omakub provides? It's like using someone else's neovim configs. Sure they have spent countless hours to make it beautiful and functional, but if it is not yours, you are not wired to use it efficiently. The argument that it is useful for someone new because it works out of the box and they can slowly customize things as they go is a tough sell especially if that someone is using a MacBook. Simply learn to configure and customize neovim and configure zrh. If they are comfortable doing these, they wouldn't have difficulties switching to Linux later on. I transitioned from MBA M1, simply clone my configs to EndeavourOS and boom I have everything configured, except the i3WM, which is not that difficult to configure anyway. The only valid reason to use Omakub is if you don't want to customize, don't want to use Windows, and don't want to spend a lot of money for a MacBook.

[@glendmaatita4936]
