  • How ed is for programming? It looks interesting. If you’re saying about zile I tried mg and it looks great but I can’t display or type some characters from my native language, I think that it will be same with zile. I think that good idea would be to use mg with ed, for example write most of the code in mg, but fixing needed letters in ed.


















  • I had contact with Alpine on one server. It’s great OS but I don’t think it’s great choice not for desktop. I’m using Gentoo and it gives me much more capabilities ;) Gentoo can’t work with busybox as GNU coreutils are hard dependency. musl is supported by Gentoo but as I heard there’s a lot of issues with it



  • I don’t want to remove bash, that’s not my point. It’s hard dependency for my system. Now I understand that dash sucks as interactive shell. Maybe I’ll try fish as interactive shell just to check what it is, cause it’s popular at the moment. But as I’m forced to have bash installed and it’s great for interactive shell usage I will stick with it :)
