I finally decided for a new daily driver laptop. I wanted something from a small manufacturer focused on #linux. Looked at devices from #StarLabs, #Purism, #System76, #Slimbook. At the end I decided for the Pulse 14 from @tuxedocomputers. It looks almost perfect for me. The only downside is that they don‘t ship with US-ANSI keyboards. I‘m afraid this will annoy me the first few week… Anyways, looking forward for the device to arrive in order to install #NixOS.
@melix@britter It is absolutely possible to have a nix install consume endless amounts of disk space. But if you're interested in trying it out, I would suggest configuring for less storage consumption - that is generally a lot nicer to deal with.
@britter@tuxedocomputers After the last backdoor incident, we saw that unstable distributions were immediately affected by such events. Of course, use whatever you want. It's just a suggestion of mine.
@penguingeek@britter@tuxedocomputers Thankfully NixOS defaults to a stable branch. You can opt for various degrees of instability, with all that entails - such as earlier exposure to upstream updates & compromise. Sticking with the defaults tend to be safer, but you can ofc. do what you want. :)
@AngryAnt Thanks for your sarcastic approach. But you didn't understand what you read. I didn't make any statements about NixOS. "I hope you have the experience you expected." I did not attack the NixOS operating system.
I didn't say that NixOS was unstable, I actually tried to state that the Ubuntu LTS version was more stable.
