    I got mistaken. See replies for explanation

    =======

    Apt: get whatever is in the cached package list

    Apt-get: lookup the package to see the latest version and get that one

    Unless you always apt update, apt-get is the go to choice for modern day Linux

    There’s also the apt-apt command, who triggers any audiophile to start complaining about mainstream music quality these days










  • Linux is super reliable, and unless you use cutting edge distro, it’s pretty rare than anything breaks. Even Fedora is pretty stable from experience

    The only true problems I ever had (and still has), were with Nvidia. And switching distros ain’t saving you. Linux mint? Breaks on suspend. Nobara? Memory leak. Trying newer versions to see if it fixes it? Where’s my bootloader…

    I do understand that laptop RTX 3070 are not common, but still. I just want it to work, and have cuda on it. Is that too much to ask?



  • Mint is my favourite distro. Is everything I want from my computer.

    … Except the Nvidia support. I need the actual proprietary driver for cuda and it’s not the easiest of rides.

    (I switched to Nobara for better support and now the drivers memory leak. I need the courage to distrohop again)





  • I think they are referring to crates vs binaries vs cargo binaries.

    Crates are your libraries, not meant to be standalone, binaries are your .exe, cargo binaries are meant to be compiled by cargo on your machine and run through cargo, ex: cargo sqlx

    They might also refer test binaries and example binaries which are two executables that only compile the tesrs and the examples to make sure they work, but apart from that idk
