Want to exchange information in json? plaintext? binary data? Sockets can do it.
This is exactly why you need something like dbus. If you just have a socket, you know nothing about how the data is structured, what the communication protocol is, etc. dbus defines all this.
very old
Obviously it’s subjective but Debian doesn’t use ancient software. For instance Bookworm has Python 3.11; the current Python is 3.12. Some software updates slowly enough that you end up with the latest version. I seem to recall zsh being up to date. But yeah, make sure you’re using the correct version when looking up docs.
I’d be surprised to find out there was one filesystem that consistently did better than others in gaming performance. ext4 is a fine choice, though.
Yeah, that should work. ldd "$(command -v "$cmd")"
will list the dynamic dependencies for $cmd
, so you can find those (probably) in /lib
and /usr/lib
; I’m not familiar enough with the dynamic library loading process to give you the specifics. I would put the binaries in /usr/local/bin
and the libraries in /usr/local/lib
; but you could also modify path variables to point to the usb drive. Ideally you could find statically linked versions somewhere, so you don’t have to mess with the libraries.
Alternatively, most package managers have commands to download packages; then you can copy the package cache over to the new machine and install them that way. If the commands are common enough, you could download one of the bigger install media and add its package repo to your machine. These of course are distribution specific processes.
Finally, you could get a cheap USB ethernet adapter and connect to the internet that way. On newegg most of these products will have at least one review saying whether they work on linux.
Amazing that this is getting downvoted. This is just the plain truth of the situation.
