Data is sculpting. Troi wants him to try an abstract sculpture of "music."
He sculpts a treble clef.
Troi: It's a start.
(It's literally what goes at the start of many pieces of sheet music.)
@sathariel Sometimes they even appreciate it.
@alexbuzzbee Since I use Clear Linux on my laptop as a daily driver, I've come to love their 'swupd' Bundles, and the underlying concept: https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/guides/clear/bundles.html
Dependencies are intelligent, (rolling) updates are excellent, and I can use Flatpak/DNF if something isn't available. Perfect for desktops IMHO.
All of my servers however run either Debian or Ubuntu so I use APT for those, and wouldn't trust anything else for production workloads due to APT's historical stability & interoperability.
@alexbuzzbee, it’s nix. Because it can handle multiple versions of dependencies without effort, and you can make a (nearly) reproducible system out of it. And if you break something, you can roll back and get the exact same system you had before.
@alexbuzzbee apk because vroom fast and sane command line interface. Also nice to write packages for but that mainly seperates it from dpkg/rpm, since all the shell based package managers seem to be close enough that you can copy code from one into the other with a few tweaks and not run into any issues.
@df5t0rw Not Linux-centric at all. Those were just the easiest examples for me to think of. Homebrew, ports, or whatever Windows users have would all be good answers too.
@carcinopithecus Good, precise definition. I appreciate those.
@wizzwizz4 Good points. This could have done with some more refining. Thanks for voting.
