SDKMan VS void-packages

Alternatively, you can use sdkman. A great tool to install your Software Development Kit. The downside is that it only works on *nix systems. So for Widnows users, you will have to use WSL or Cygwin as the official page suggests. It is really simple to use sdkman. after a successful installation, just type those commands into your *nix shell:

To run the example, you must install the Auth0 CLI and create an Auth0 account. If you don't have an Auth0 account, sign up for free. I recommend using SDKMAN! to install Java 17+ and HTTPie for making HTTP requests.

Another option for installing Java is SDKMAN!, a versatile tool that’s easy to install and helps you manage multiple versions of Java.

Java 17

Java 17 or higher. You can use SDKMAN! to install Java if you don't have it already.

Ktor, a powerful web framework built with Kotlin, offers a lightweight and flexible solution for building web applications. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a Ktor project manually using Gradle and SDKMAN!. By following the steps below, you'll have a basic Ktor project up and running in no time.

If you have any tips/advice then I'm all ears. I've already modified the dnf.conf with fastmirror and max_parallel_downloads I'm currently not using sdkman because this is my personal machine, so I don't mind always using the latest version OpenJDK. If I ever do need to switch between versions then I'll switch over to sdkman instead.

For handling your JDK: I highly recommend purging your system of all JDKs/JRMs - get rid of it all - and download SDK (if you're using Windows, you'll need to do this through WSL). This tool manages software development kits very well; switching between JDKs is super straightforward: sdk use .

I use sdkman to install java related stuff. Check it out. No root needed.

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?
