    Why would you pipe edit: redirect neofetch into your .bashrc?

      so that everytime you launch a terminal, your neofetch data is displayed. Because wow, neofetch!!!

      It doesn’t really make sense, since the data would be outdated anyway if piped into .bashrc that way…

        But .bashrc is executed, not displayed.

        Maybe they meant to say echo neofetch >> ~/.bashrc.

        It won’t work. It’s a dangerous command because a single > destroys your .bashrc. You may want either echo 'neofetch' >> .bashrc or neofetch | sed -e 's:%:a:g' | sed -e "s:^\\(.*\\)$:printf '\1\\\\n':" >> .bashrc or something of that kind.

        EDIT: tested out the latter command

          This is why you have a dotfiles repository, you noob!

        This post is what is giving me the idea to finally set up a dotfiles repo for the first time.

    i had i3 run with no problems on some of the worst machines I had to use. I’ll fight with anyone that claims i3 is bloat.

      Good old conky lol. Its like it was made to be a config playground, and the actual functionality was an afterthought.

        Afterthought is an understatement. I didn’t mind piping some of that info into an i3 status bar, but just a couple things. Who needs to watch all that distracting system stuff all the time. Using autocompletions on the command line would get that info quick enough. And whoever down voted my original comment - I’m laughing about it. Serious business right?

        Too generous for Gentoo.

        “Maybe if I tweak the kernel config juuuuust a little bit today” “Is it just me or did this particular version of gcc make the kernel 0.0002% slower? I need to do some tests” “…Dunno, it just feels slower today, I guess I need to recompile the whole system”

        Uptime: 30 minutes, tops

    I write in POSIX shell as a matter of principle.

    My “dotfiles” repo is a few Kb in size.

    I am too dumb and lazy to try Nix.

    I do like using vim keybindings in my terminal.

    Neofetch is bloat, I wrote a script that shows some essential information when the machine starts and that’s it.

    Akchually, binary prefixes are the one and only correct prefixes for counting digital size of information (GiB instead of GB).

      it is actually a 200 IQ meme. your average coomfiger doesnt know that much about shell scripting, but thinks they do.

      or something. i definitely didnt get it wrong myself
