Yeah, Ubuntu is the only culprit here. They sneakily swapped out apt with snap packages when trying to use apt. So while you think you’re using a package from apt, it’ll swap out to using Snap. Pretty scummy.

Fedora is fine.

Mint doesn’t natively shove down snap down your throat though 🙂

Ncdu looks pretty cool. I’ll give it a spin! I’ve tried a good handful of TUI file managers but most of doesn’t feel right, so I made my own little script in attempt to scratch that itch. Not completely satisfied with it but it works ¯\(ツ)/¯

I’d like to interject for a moment. There is also a tool called bat that is just cat with extra features. It prints out and works just like cat, but when the contents get too big, it works like less. The is syntax highlighting and works with git.

It’s replaced my need for cat and less.

“All 5 accounted for!”

I use flatpak, pacman, and yay for my software management. I unify the basic needs by using these aliases:

SEARCH
fsearch = flatpak search <input>
psearch = pacman -Ss <input>
ysearch = yay -Ss <input>

REMOVE
fremove
premove
yremove

LIST
flist
plist
ylist

GARBAGE COLLECTION
fcg
pcg
ycg

And so on.

Additionally I also gave ucg as well as an all-in-one garbage collector command.
