I simply dump the installed packages into a text file and then use that on the next install.

Pseudo terminal commands:

packagemanager list installed -nodeps >> myfacorites.txt

packagemanager install `cat myfacorites.txt`

You can always export stl or dxf files and use them with other software.

I use a dependency manager, so I don’t need to think about “it depends”.

Tradition is loving your ancestors’ wisdom.

Affinity Suite for Linux would be a game changer.

The alternative to FreeCAD on Linux is OnShape running in the browser.

Backups are a good idea.

What communities can you recommend?

Leftist spaces have changed a lot over the last two decades. Not for the better.

Cancel Culture Culture is real and extremely aggressive among the left.

Lemmy doesn’t have quality debates on politics either. The mods in the relevant communities swing the ban hammer liberally against everyone not following their opinion. Mainstream democrat talking points get banned as fascist. Antisemitic stuff is widespread as well.

You mostly get woke to extreme left echo chambers going on.

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is a good place to see this moderation in action.

Lemmy has neither.

Flexible Mailbox

Do you mean lack of quality native applications?

M1 Model is outdated and no longer sold.

Most people install at least some kind of software from outside the App Store.

Popular examples: VLC Media Player, LibreOffice, Adobe Software, Firefox, Dropbox, Transmission, TeamViewer

Especially lots of FOSS applications aren’t on the AppStore, many aren’t even notarized.

Cracked pirated software isn’t notarized either of course.

The available libraries, operating system, and hardware platform pay a bigger role than the programming language. Often the choice of language follows the tool chain and frameworks that fit with the intended program.

And love reading ten pages of Java stack trace.

Reasoning about memory use is kind of hard though.

What are you even talking about?

Snakes like that are always print in place.
