If anyone here is struggling with where to distrohop next: check out my newest project called distrohoop - a CLI Tool that uses the power of the galaxy (in Rust) to determine your next distro!

what do you mean I need to reinstall my os just because it showed the one I'm using rn?
ForceBlade@reddit
Consider stopping wasting your time and stick with something you're comfortable with already. Make it work for you instead of jumping ship every time you are slightly inconvenienced.

No! I want to waste my time and you can't stop me, nerd!

What do you mean by power of the galaxy? does it somehow use cosmic background radiation for RNG?
That would be extremely cool.
xzer@reddit
how are people going to know what i've been hopping from?

Watch out. TempleOS used the same method to get the word of god.
Molcap@reddit
Cool! now make it nuke your os and install the selected distro
OkFee9934@reddit (OP)
That's what I was planning next

I suddenly remembered seeing something similar

Cool tool, but can we stop with the written in Rust promotion? It doesn't matter. It's like "arch btw".
Mister_Magister@reddit
oh yes, i'll start adding "written in c++"
"written in php"
"written in html"
yes its very cringe
SealProgrammer@reddit
I see those on projects too (except the PHP one, but like..?). It’s not too uncommon, and it might get some potential contributors to take a look at it if they already know the language.

I mean, I'm more likely to check out a rust project (single static binary) than e.g. a python project (venv hell), so in that sense I like seeing it, same as C or C++. Though it does feel a little indulgent for such a basic program such as this one.

I'm okay with it being in a list of an apps features, just not the title. I'm starting to find it repellent. This keeps up, I won't knowingly install whatever it is, even if it were the best thing since sliced toast. :)

It's RUST? So Pop!_OS.

Glad to hear that our galaxy is written in Rust
