Shareni,

So why should we use this instead of just saying lixmaballs and using nix/aux/nux/whatever other fork?

  1. in the currently evaluated year 2023 the battery accounts for 44.1 percent of breakdowns
  2. 3-10 year old combustion cars vs electric cars only having enough registered models to start observing their reliability in 2021
Shareni,

You when you mess something up and only figure it out later?

Shareni,

Dude heard about vendor lock-in, but has no clue what it is.

Shareni, (edited )

Dude still hasn’t decided where to host the repo. It’s not an alternative, guix is…

Shareni,

When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.

Damn you, the photo didn’t load and I thought I’d be the first one. Time to start my own comment chain, with blackjack and hookers.

Flying would be a very high demand service and could be sold for much more than what a train ticket costs. If it was feasible, it would have already been done.

Wait a bit Ubuntu is next. They already added terminal ads, embedded affiliate links for amazon, and sold user data to amazon.

Shareni,

And now that it’s at the top, it attracts more curious clicks, thus it continues to remain on top.

That’s exactly how I learned about MX and started using it.

Shareni,

Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX’ high HPD score?

That’s definitely a factor. People write and talk about new and exciting stuff, MX is neither. There’s no point in writing an article that goes: MX experience - same as a year ago because nothing changed, see ya again in a year.

From Windows to about 6 recommended distros for gaming.

I am not bad with computers and have a beginner+, maybe intermediate level knowledge of Linux and I kept running into some problems here and there with different distros. Most claimed to work out of the box (which may be the case for some users, but I have a shit ass Nvidia 1060 and that was not at all the case, until I...

Shareni,

Be careful with Nobara. I’ve also used it for a bit (fedora 38 base) and had an easier time setting it up than fedora 39. It disables most security features to get better performance. Besides that, it’s only developed by one dude and primarily for personal use, so when it went from 38 to 39 he just completely dropped his gnome config, broke the upgrade in so many ways, and switched to kde. Also it didn’t have an upgrade notification and I had to accidentally learn that a new major version came out.

Dropped it after that because it doesn’t inspire confidence, no matter how important GE is for gaming on Linux. I’d rather spend at most an hour setting up MX (Debian) for gaming.

Shareni,

Because you have 20 of them around the house and don’t care if you lose them?

Why would you use disposable refills at all if you care about the environment? A fountain pen can last for many years, the ink comes in glass containers, and it’s far nicer for writing in most scenarios.

Try it, the worst thing that can happen is you waste a few hours, get mad, break your PC, and get a brain aneurysm

Shareni,

I’ve recently performed my first full conversion. The key was that windows took like 15 mins to boot and 5 more to open up chrome. That laptop might be ancient but with Linux it goes 0-browser in a minute, and the convertee is more than satisfied.

Shareni,

Arch is a Vauxhall Novana

Nah, Arch is the reliant robin: it’s minimal, requires constant maintenance, and while it might flip in a corner, it’s pretty easy to get out and flip it back up ( it’s a really good learning and training opportunity)

  1. As you can see from the state of this thread, people see nix or nixpkgs but read nixos. There’s no momentum from the community to push it as an extra package manager, while every thread is spammed with nixos.
  2. No gui integrations for casuals. For example Discover integrates flatpaks and snaps, but for nix you need to use the terminal.
  3. The documentation is abysmal. I spent days trying to figure out how to use nix as a declarative package manager before I accidentally came across home-manager. Even the manual leads you down the wrong path. A quick start guide with a few examples for home-manager and flakes, and a few basic commands, would’ve had me going in 5 minutes. That problem is made worse by the fact that almost all sources of info focus on nixos instead.

Edit:

if anyone’s interested in trying it out, here’s a part of my other comment in this thread

It’s just a list of packages, and an optional flake to control the repositories (stable/unstable) and add packages from outside of the official ones.

To update everything nix related I just run:

cd ~/dotfiles/nix/ && nix flake update && home-manager switch

Shareni,

I really wouldn’t touch secondhand Ms. No upgrades, no repairs, horrible components (CPU is ok, everything else is straight from the dumpster in order to cover costs).

So when something dies on your device from a company that has a long history of terrible design and QA (I’m betting on storage) you have to pay another $1000+ to replace the whole motherboard. On top of that, I’m guessing that they’re also ripping off customers when selling those replacement boards, as having usable ram and storage costs an extra $1000+ when buying new.
