Re: [arch-general] Automatic File Associations Alloting

In KDE I don't have this problem. It happens with xmonad and openbox. pcmanfm can configure that too, but automatic picks the last installed package that handle this type of file, and wine is always the last thing I install in the system..

Re: [arch-general] pacman new generation

Yes, But also the idea of reproducible system configurations is also interesting. You could say, hey, this configuration will work for this because it was tested in such and such a way. And after a complex upgrade you could roll-back to a particular configuration that happened to work very well f

dpkg-reconfigure ? No.. it's not that at all. In fact pacman already have some of those ideas, it tries to be safe when it keeps old package in /var/cache/pacman/pkg, but Nix goes further and tries to make sense of all those changes in the system. I just see some other ideas that could be inspiri
