It really pisses me off when something doesn’t work and the first thing someone says is “must be Linux”. Bro, I moved away from Windows because of all the bugs there. Don’t try to bullshit me into thinking you live a bugfree life.
My system is as fast as when I first got it (minus maybe the extra bloat websites have acquired due to bugger JS libraries and unnecessarily big assets). On windows reinstalling every year or every second year was normal.
Waydroid is GPLv3 and that’s great. Hopefully contributions will be upstreamed. Waydroid, Wine, FEX… Valve is contributing to great things!
Latest release was 2 weeks ago. Not sure how “dead” that is.
I do think it is, but only if you dive into what the services and modules do, or if you create some yourself. Most packages are created for mainstream distros and you will have to adapt how they work to nixos’s mode of working. In doing so, you will learn - at least I have.
I know more about systemd, kde’s configuration, bash, opengl, library paths, and more because of having to go through the pain of making it work ok nix/nixos.
It is arguably also quite valuable to see how something is done in nixos as a kind of documentation in code for how to configure other software. Where changing an option’s value in nixos kicks of a bunch of things, on other systems you have to either trust that the package has scripts to do that, or imperatively do those steps yourself.
The skills seem quite transferable to me, IMHO.
He spent 30 days trying to get adobe premiere to work instead of just fixing his audio issues with kdenlive.
When you say “nixos installer”, do you mean the GUI nixos installer? If you have a github account, you can create a bug report. As a KDE user, this has never been a problem for me.
Probably not. There must be something missing in your configuration. Do you have createHome = true for your user?
When facing issues on nixos, you can easily just share your /etc/nixos/configuration.nix + a description of your error + logs and it’ll provide useful context for people. We’ll even be able to spin up a VM with your config to see if the bug can be recreated.
Windows realised that they hadn’t locked in their users enough and hadn’t built an ecosystem difficult enough to exit like the ego phone makers. My only hope is that they will fuck that up enough with their AI driven coding practices and agentic OS to drive more people to Linux.

As usual, the entitlement amongst users stays high.
In this thread: people who believe the myth of the safe C programmer. The one who has memorized the spec and is able to hold endless context in their brain while writing code. They themselves are C compilers.
What happens when the VPN stops? Are all requests then just sent through the clear web?
Just to spite you.

Not the first relationship to be destroyed by nixos 😢
Signal, unfortunately, doesn’t have good group support. Herr are only 2 privilege levels: admin and user. It seems like it will take a long time before signal upgrades group chats.
I’m curious, how does briar compare,?
How is that going to fund opensource?
Even if that game is toxic waste?
It could be part of the solution. We know we can’t go on just like we did. It’s not sustainable and change should be affected inside the opensource system as well as outside.
I hope the Post Open license will be a part of the solution for this. Free commercial use of opensource should be disallowed.
Why make your own phone? Why not partner with Fairphone? Fairphone seems to be the only vendor out there that sells phones with an alternative ROM (/e/ OS), they might very well be open to an alternative OS like Sailfish.
