Make me

Actually don’t it’s hard enough with certain web apps

Ubuntu, various versions of, fedora for a bit, suse for a bit, Debian for an RPI

Nixos is my home distro and I’ve spent probably double the amount of time with it as I have all other distros combined, the distro hopping phase a given distro lasted about 2 weeks before I threw it out

I’m not comfortable enough with other distros to able to help someone who already knows enough about Linux in general, and given he’s familiar with fedora silverblue seemed like an obvious choice

I’m not about to recommend someone who’s only ever used fedora before nixos that would be insane

Afaik it’s not a personal list it’s a list for end users

Because it’s less standard

The more default and mainstream you go the easier it’s gonna be to do things and get help

I tried getting a friend of mine on silverblue a while ago, worked for a bit but he hated how the package manager worked and I wasn’t able to help him much because I’m on nix

I love the idea of a framework but their battery life apparently really sucks

Bit of a joke suggestion but purely hardware wise steam deck might do the trick, its graphics processing is very good considering the size and lack of discrete GPU

Also quite subsidized because valve expect people to make up the value in buying games, so more bang for your buck

Plugged into a keyboard and possibly monitor could do the trick

This sounds like the account of someone that hasn’t actually used the technology recently and/or given it a fair shot

I’ve not had any misunderstandings by Google assistant or Alexa in ages, and LLM produced code works great for me now provided you’re explicit enough in the way you instruct it (meaning you still need to understand what you want it to do)

Image generation is great for if you want a quick illustration, inspiration or a meme, not much practical benefit besides that imo

You’re right they do, I’m not sure where I got the idea that you couldn’t run em but I’m sure I’ve got some error message about static linking before when trying to run a binary

Might’ve been whatever the opposite is (dynamically linked?)

Ah that’s kinda neat. Doesn’t statically linked mean it won’t work on some systems though? Pretty sure static linked binaries don’t work on nixos

What reason is there to use something like this over gtk or qt? I guess it’s easier to work with?

It’s been a thing but it’s not been a thing it’s been many little bits that nobody’s pulled together and marketed properly yet

No idea if this is the product to do thay but eventually someone’s gonna do it

The day I don’t want to jump ship to the latest new tech is the day I stagnate into an old person

“when we try to use a tape measure to hammer in nails it doesn’t really work, so tape measures are useless”

I switched a while ago.

Full office suite works fine on web including teams

I had switched to vscode from visual studio anyway so that wasn’t an issue

The only big thing I think is missing now is Photoshop (krita and photopea exist) and games that have intentionally prevented themselves being run in Linux, which is a pretty good reason to vote with your wallet anyway imo

I do kinda miss being able to fuck around in Roblox every now and again but oh well

Fact of the matter is that it will become the norm m because cheap > quality in our system

I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be it doesn’t change how Linux works does it?

Until someone rewrites git history and screws up your build

What is the actual evidence trump wants to end democracy? I’ve only seen an out of context clip so far

Generally hardware compatibility should be identical across all distros, as most drivers are baked into the kernel

The exception being Nvidia drivers, you have to install those yourself pretty much everywhere

Lowest maintenance possible is probably gonna be bazzite as people are saying
