Fedora 41 is the most elegant Linux distribution I've ever used. Ptyxis is dope, too. From the initial setup of my GNOME 47 desktop, to the installation of software and updates via DNF 5 and Flatpak, the experience is like butter on toast. For the first time, I'm considering migrating away from a Debian desktop 100%.
I don't like Microsoft for their business practices, but I will give credit where credit is due. #PowerShell is a fantastic tool once you familiarize yourself with its syntax and capabilities. Like with other shells, the magic of the tool comes from piping (which reminds me of SQL commands). I would not be praising it as an interactive shell and scripting language if I thought otherwise.
I live and breathe Linux, but dealing with objects via #PowerShell, as opposed to parsing text, makes writing scripts a breeze. I will admit that, out of necessity, I once had to familiarize myself with the tool in a former technical role, so there's that to consider. Nevertheless, for organizing and manipulating data, this tool does a more sophisticated and efficient job. It is verbose, but you get used to it.
Honestly, I wish it was available on the BSDs, but I guess Nushell could do the job.
I am not ashamed to say that I use #PowerShell interactively and programmatically on Linux. 😆
Apple's Shortcuts is the most underrated and utilitarian software on the iPhone. It deserves much more attention, as it brings the ideas of scripting into the GUI-dominated smartphone world. I've been able to go as far as automating parts of my logistics work thanks to the scripts I've built within the Shortcuts framework.
Android should have an equivalent application. Tasker's UI is difficult to navigate, and Termux doesn't have access to enough system functions for it to be fully useful.
On another note, I've since resolved my prior infotainment issues by broadcasting my Raspberry Pi's audio via an FM transmitter. We're good with this setup. 👌😊
It's been a while since I've updated the PiMP repository. Life, within the last year, has shifted my attention away from the project.
While I have a few more ideas in mind for PiMP, the project is otherwise stable. My next tasks will involve creating a build process and compiling comprehensive (but concise) documentation, OpenBSD style. I'd love to showcase this project on Hacker News and other places at some point. Stay tuned!
Anyone know if you can project a TTY from a Raspberry Pi via CarPlay? A third-party infotainment solution, the Applepie Mini, facilitates CarPlay via USB to project itself onto a car infotainment system screen. I'm wondering... 🧐
