dots VS dotfiles

Sorry, I don't understand your question. You mean what launcher am I using? It's this simple script: https://github.com/cherrry9/dots/blob/master/.local/bin/fmenu

Well, thank you! And here are the answers... * My main machine is running Arch Linux, my school server Ubuntu, and me and my friends' private server Amazon Linux 2. Each machine has different packages and requirements, and some packages (like fontconfig) needs special care to copy proper configurations. Honestly I was too lazy to remember all the commands, so I over-engineered a "package manager". * You can see each directory's pkginfo file. There, it calls a command named depends. This basically constructs a space-separated list of packages, and saves it into a variable depends_ (see this line in the deffinition ofappend). The sole reason I'm doing this is to go through proper dependency tree check with a bs implementation of stack, just in case I do some stupid stuff and accidently create a dependency cycle which will deadlock the process ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ * The--noconfirmflag is sent topacmanand basically skips theye wanna install these for sure? [Y/n]step and goes straight to business. The password is asked bysudo, most likely. So, piping stderr to/dev/nullshould not be a problem. By default,makepkguses a fakeroot environment, and by security reasons, not allowed to run as root. Still I am pretty sure thatmakepkgusessudoto get root access, so my recommendation would be giving longersudotimeout. If you think your build process takes too long, then you might want to usesudo` keepalive snippet below:
