Re: Arch Packages You Might Want to Install
#2youtube-dl should probably be replaced with yt-dlp.. but I like Firefox, Thunderbird, vlc, git, keepassxc... I don't think that I ever needed to install sudo though... you are missing a lot of gems, like Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, nmap, mutt, irssi, gparted, jedit, go, unrar, wireguard-tools, syncthing, obs-studio, audacity...
the command below appears to list packages installed by the user:
comm -23 Re: Arch Packages You Might Want to Install
#3pulseaudio should be replace pipewire and sudo by doas
I would also add:
- htop
- mc
- fish (or zsh)
- yay (from aur)Re: Arch Packages You Might Want to Install
#4Screw it, just pull in the entire default repo and call it a day.
With how cheap disk space is now, I wonder how infeasible this would actually be. How much disk and bandwidth would this take for, say, Ubuntu, or Arch, or Arch plus the AUR?
Once everything is installed, the package manager could handle incremental updates rather painlessly if you ran them often enough. Conflicting packages might pose a bit of an issue. But we could just exclude any package with conflicts outside of the base install, leaving it to the user to resolve.

For my curiosity, why doas over sudo?

Not parent but, simpler configuration, more focused tool (that can be both good and bad), if you compile it’s faster as less dependencies, etc. Honestly, all depends on your use case and what you know (Simple all depends on where you’re coming from)

It has less features so it has a smaller attack surface. Unless you need a specific featurd found only in sudo, your probably safer with doas.

#8> followed by a long period where you regularly discover missing tools
Installing packages precisely when I need them helps me keep my system minimal.

TIL that you can redirect 2 stdout to comm. I use to pipe one of the thing I wanted to compare into a file and redirect the other one.
BTW you can replace
sort | uniq
sort -uRe: Arch Packages You Might Want to Install
