I disagree. I love it for a desktop system . The fact that you can just try a package/app out with nix shell -p pkg and it doesn’t mess with your global environment and don’t have to bother to uninstall/clean up is very nice. Also combined with direnv/shell.nix it’s really nice for setting up different dev environments, no need to globally install your dev tools (of course you can also do this without nixos too). Or the fact I can run a test variant of my setup without being afraid of corruption with nixos-rebuild test and it will never be able to fuck my existing setup…

Of course, configuring everything in a single structure is a bit of work at the beginning. But it’s really not that bad (though the documentation could really use some work) . You can just reuse your existing dot files by just including them without converting them to the nix language. And the fact I can now update and configure all my systems from one place and one structure is amazing, without having to ssh in every machine and remember how it’s configured.

Now does that mean it’s the final distro? Probably not. But would I go back to a non-declaritive setup? Most definitely never. Maybe I’ll try out guix sometime, but I personally never liked lisp variants as a language. But who knows what else comes along. But imho declarative is the way to go for any setup, desktop or server.

I was impressed too, must people jump to gnome, KDE or xfce first. But straight to a tiling window manager. Good on you! I would never go back to a floating window manager now, wish I had discovered it straight away

I don’t shed tears for soulless corporations either. But i also don’t shed tears anymore for a populace that systematically votes for self-harm

Why would they take a hit for something the US population voted for themselves? That makes no sense.

I blocked all my IPv6 because android/Google would always force it’s own DNS on me. And I couldn’t find a reliable method without rooting the phone to turn this off.
Well i did find one, to disable IPv6 on the router. Is this a thing anyone else had or did i remember it wrong or not dig deep enough?

Does the argument work both ways? If effort is the same as being paid for. Does that mean pirating a game is the same as buying it? After all it’s basically the same effort these days.

Of course the argument doesn’t fly, as you cant actually buy a game anymore, just a temporary license for an undisclosed amount of time.

So Google maps should be shut down too? Or you could use it to find a route to someone who has been doxxed for free! This logic is really flawed…

Maybe so, but that’s a decision they make. Surely I as customer shouldn’t be taken away what i paid for because of that? And if so they should have mentioned clearly upon sale that they would take away my product after 3-4 years (though maybe that’s the case in those dense ToS?) . Everything else should be considered illegal and fraudulent if they planned/knew it from the start. Which is the case if it’s a licensing issue

Besides, I’m pretty sure after those 4 years the code is outdated and they could renegotiate the license to be more open to release a binary.

That’s why i also said provide, not just open source. They can release a binary.

This is just pure fabricated bullshit. They themselves started limiting options. Remember the old days where you could host your own server with basically any game? They took that away, not us. So they themselves are 100% responsible for this ‘uprising’. Besides they could just provide/open-source the backend and disable drm. Hardly any work at all.

But of course it’s not about that. They just try to hide behind this ‘limits options’ argument. But they simply don’t want you to be able to play their old games. They want you to buy their latest CoD 42.

I always see people advocate for Stremio. But my experience was always very mixed. Half the time it would just buffer all the time. I guess it’s s my own fault for having little interest in the latest Marvel/Hollywood movies, but alas. I way more prefer my jellyfin/jellyseer/arr stack. Once it’s available I’m (99%) sure it works from everywhere in the world.

Jellyfin has a sign in through the app for tv. Which I tell them to use first. And URL is also nothing new. All this stuff are 30+ year old concepts by now. But to each his own!

I’m starting to think it acts as a nice filter. If they can’t grasp an URL + login, it would save me from tech support down the line.

Well yes I know, but that kind of proofs a sign in link is not that important right? :) surely not a deal breaker as they postulated above.

Let’s not act like a user and password is some revolutionary new technical concept. They can remember it for their email provider if they can access the plex link. So why not jellyfin? I think the UX of Jellyfin is more than acceptable in this regard. Sure I wouldn’t mind they added this feature but i don’t see it as a must have.

Fair enough, i just have very limited patience for incompetence. if they cant figure out how to remember their user and password. I don’t want to have to deal with them at all.

I have no clue what you mean with having to take it down. But with the *narr stack and jellyseer i basically have no library upkeep. Except for one or two difficult shows

Sounds more of an user problem than a jellyfin problem? If they can’t remember their login I’ll just not add them to jellyfin.

Bazzite is basically just Steam OS but support for more hardware. And easier to extend. You could drop it on your steam deck and if you don’t muck around in the terminal you probably wouldn’t know.

Its normal when there is a new release. But steam OS 2 was abandoned long before version 3 came around.

Will it though? I love what Valve has done for the linux community. But didn’t they abandon Steam OS 2 too? Why will it be better this time? I feel like they would only give official support for handhelds/systems that are officially released with it.
