Hasklig VS void-packages

Hasklig because it includes ligatures useful for programming (although mainly focused on functional programming) & is visually pleasent. https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig

Its 10000000% the font. I just tested Hasklig's regular font (this) and all of the boxes and question marks dissapear. Theres just one problems with this font. The text is weird af (pics below). It seems to like to smash characters together sometimes and others its cutting parts of them off.

Change to Hasklig font (https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig)

I like to change it up, but I like Ubuntu Mono and right now I've been using Hasklig

In case anyone is wondering, I use Nord theme and Hasklig font with font ligatures on.

self: super: { hasklig = self.callPackage ({ lib, fetchzip }: let version = "1.2"; in fetchzip { name = "hasklig-${version}"; url = "https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig/releases/download/v${version}/Hasklig-${version}.zip"; postFetch = '' unzip $downloadedFile install -m444 -Dt $out/share/fonts/opentype OTF/*.otf ''; sha256 = "sha256-8lY1m0P1qQIbR4e7kX68jVoKZmEfPWNwK3AFLoaBEak="; meta = with lib; { homepage = "https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig"; description = "A font with ligatures for Haskell code based off Source Code Pro"; license = licenses.ofl; platforms = platforms.all; maintainers = with maintainers; [ davidrusu Profpatsch ]; }; }) {}; }

I keep wondering if I should try out a font with ligatures (probably Fira Code or Hasklig), but I haven't yet. Does anyone here use a ligature font with Raku? I'm not sure if the ligatures would fit right in with the Unicode glyphs or get confusing.

I was looking for a lightweight OS to run on old Asus Eee PC 1005 HA, which uses a 32-bit Intel Atom N270 processor. I installed Void Linux (https://voidlinux.org/).

I may give DSL 2024 a try and see how it compares.

Linux Void

My computer is running Void Linux and it has only a wired network connection. I can hook up my phone for USB tethering if I need to connect to the WiFi of the ESP32. How do I update the software without downloading some shady programs from filesharing site links on my system? I have the Arduino IDE and the esptool.py script installed.

Classic "everyone is using the software wrong, but it's the fault of everyone, and not the software".

Some distros like Void seem to patch this out.[1]

From mandoc/mdocml's mandoc_char(7) [2]

In roff(7) documents, the minus sign is normally written as ‘\-’. In manual pages, some style guides recommend to also use ‘\-’ if an ASCII 0x2d “hyphen-minus” output glyph that can be copied and pasted is desired in output modes supporting it, for example in -T utf8 and -T html. But currently, no practically relevant manual page formatter requires that subtlety, so in manual pages, it is sufficient to write plain ‘-’ to represent hyphen, minus, and hyphen-minus.

Which is the common-sense thing to do.

Meanwhile, GNU projects become increasingly less relevant due to obnoxiousness like this.

In general the amount of wankery of "the correct hyphen" is staggering.

So I was about to configure a new Archlinux build on my PC and came across Void Linux. I had already read about it a year ago but never researched it in depth. I know that is a Linux distribution made from scratch, with a different package manager and so on. Void Linux users or people who have tried it, what are your thoughts on it? Do you think the PM is easy to use? what about updates and bugs? what desktop or Tilling Window Manager do you use? could you tell me about it?
