All the others have great suggestions but I’d just like to add there many open source projects out there and given example code of how something is done and letting him play with it can be tremendously helpful. For example finding some simple 3d programs and lettting him change the source code to do whatever he wants or just giving him a template like https://editor.p5js.org/1alimaze/sketches/IJpxIEME8 which I made when I was first learning and letting him play with the values and add more objects.

Thank you all for offering advice. I did eventually get it working and repaired all the packages.

Nevermind I ran a script that looped through all packages in the output of pacman -Qk and reinstalled them.

I couldn’t figure out how to mount /dev/sda1 and did pacman -Syu and then I mounted it once I figured it out now pacman says there is nothing to do.

Did systemd or grub not even show up?

Will this work from slax linux? I am sorry if I seem like I can’t fix the issue myself seeing as you have given the resources for me to do so but what would be the exact steps to do that?

Thanks I might try that out later.

I ran it on my pc with a gtx 1070 with cuda enabled and compiled with the cuda compile hint but it ran really slowly how do you get it to run fast?

Perhaps nobody says they use it out loud although knowing vim users (and being one myself) they tend to be very willing to share how bad a mouse is for productivity while programming and how using vim is the ultimate solution. As for emacs I only ever have seen greybeards use it and it dosen’t to have had much of a revival with the newer generations.

I personally don’t use a RSSifier as all the sites I want to subscribe to tend to have a rss.xml or a atom.xml. There is https://rss.app/ which has rss feed generator but I am pretty sure it is not FOSS. Not to mention it uses AI and I don’t like the idea of handing over all the websites I read to a third party company. As for FOSS you would be hard pressed to find one as it is an expensive thing to run. Best thing to do is send a message to the creator of the website you would like a RSS feed. It is not a hard thing to set up and they will probably do it at your request.

It downloads the html file as markdown I believe (Or whatever format it uses to store it) and displays it to you in it’s own reader. From the article you can a button to redirect you to the actual site.

Having offline access to the articles is the main reason I use RSS over social media or simply visiting the websites.

Feeder, a RSS reader for Android. It has great UI, is fast at finding and parsing .xml from a link and has a comfortable reading experience. It has basicslly replaced social media for me besides the fediverse. The only thing I wish it had was more customizability. Being able to install Nord theme on it would be great.

I used to exclusively use clang but IMO gcc is just as good if not better. Both are pretty bulky but sometimes the LLVM toolchain can feel like bloat. Most of the time GCC is preinstalled on my linux distro so I don’t even need to install it I just git clone my projects and run my Makefiles. The only reason I ever use clang now is on my chromebook because gcc isn’t available through Termux.

They are used a lot but I don’t think they could be called industry standard. Tons of people run vim, emacs and such aswell the occasional vendor provided IDE. Probably like 60% of software engineers run IntelliJ.

App seems nice and I have no complaints with it but it’s not FOSS and it has ads. It would be cool if there were easy ways to make revenue off of FOSS that dosen’t rely on donations so I understand why it would be proprietary.

Smooth scrolling makes me feel sick so that is more of a benefit when using Jerboa.

Just to warn you it might be very bulky and the model that the script is downloading is deprecated so you’ll have to find a different .gguf model on hugging face. Try to find a lightweight .gguf model and replace the MODEL variable with it nane as well the rest of the link. Or just download from a browser and move it into the models folder.

I believe Llama is open source but not sure how complicated it is to get running locally. Nevermind: https://replicate.com/blog/run-llama-locally

You can probably write a bash wrapper around it that feeds in “Can you summarize this text: (text here)” by setting the PROMPT variable the bash script. (Probably just do PROMPT=“Can you summarize this text: $1”) (Obviously don’t recompile everytime so remove the clone build and download code)

You can use tldr for man pages but for generic text I don’t know. You would probably need a LLM.
