1 year ago Currently I use the following cargo packages on my servers and on my laptop
| Application type | Cargo package |
|---|---|
| System information tool | pfetch-rs |
| Shell prompt | Starship |
| Updater | Cargo-update |
| This leaves me with the following packages I use for the dot files: | Application type | Package |
|---|---|---|
| Code editor | neovim | |
| Shell | Fish | |
| Terminal multiplexer | tmux | |
| Symlink manager | gnu stow |
The goal is not to make everything be based on cargo, for example I greatly prefer neovim to helix. However I believe I should explore this to see if I can make the configuration and setup easier for me overall.
I have found that it is much easier to have cargo (the rust package manager) to install cli applications that I need.
Obviously this means we need to find rust alternatives to the applications I use, but I think this would greatly benefit my dot files.
It will not solve my issue of gui applications, however it could really help my workflow overall
