I never really worked much with rpm-ostree, besides a short stint with Bazzite. But never really customized it, so I don’t really know how that experience is. But I would encourage you to look into NixOS (or something else not image based) whenever you feel to experiment with another immutable. It’s very nice for servers.

You don’t have to reboot to adjust configuration or update. At least not with NixOS, don’t know much about other immutables.

Why not an immutable OS for servers? It seems like an even better choice for servers than for a desktop to me. It’s basically just like docker/containers but for your whole OS, configuration-wise.

I love my declarative NixOS servers/systems, and would never go back to imperative setups, it just seems archaic. The only exception I have (for now) is my pfSense router, as I don’t trust myself enough to setup a secure router.

Personally I probably wouldn’t advise NixOS to someone new to Linux. I think it’s best to get familiar with how linux does things in a more conventional setup first. And then transition to a declarative setup. But it kinda depends on the person as well, and how willing they are to learn and how comfortable they are with writing such a config.

That said, I would be very curious how the switch straight from Windows to NixOS would be experienced by someone. So if you do so, feel free to post your experience on the NixOS community :)

This is why I stopped using Gnome. After every update most of my extensions stopped working. Some took ages to get up to date or were abandoned. And there was no simple way to enable all extensions that the update disabled, having to manually enable them one by one. Maybe that has changed now? It’s been yearsnow… Not that I would go back anyway, tiling managers is where it’s at.

Woops typo, fixed

Seems like idle hope after the vast amount of crap he already pulled off and they still support him. I don’t see releasing the files making a dent. The fact he’s so hesitant to release them should already be enough and that doesn’t seem to sway them.

They will just downplay it. Or say, see others did it too, so they are all equality bad, so Trump is still the better option. That swamp isn’t going to get drained before mass riots or civil war breaks out.

Sand paper wouldn’t really help. They could just cut a part in half. But yeah no way in hell this will ever end up in any of the open source printer firmwares. So it’s a moot point.

If they so said have no math or spatial reasoning then OpenSCAD is the last tool for them to try.

I think just like the reading it’s very different per person. I’m great at zoning out and not listening to people. Intentionally or not.

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.

Are all mediatek’s horrible? I’ve got one in my desktop but it’s just terrible. Randomly crashes my whole pc after a while. And the only way to fix it is to cmos reset the motherboard. It’s forever disabled in the bios now, which also means no Bluetooth sadly. Just wondering if I had bad luck or to always avoid them.

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

Haha because of your comment i finally searched whether duckduckgo allows you to remove certain sites from all search results. And the first result was reddit. But then I got this exact message too, for the first time. Irony? I guess reddit truly is dead now. I’m just using my home network, no vpn or anything…

Thanks! I’m on ING now and every time i look it up for ING i get conflicting answers, Probably because it differs for each country they operate in (and people don’t always specify). I’ll look into the other ones.

Can you elaborate which banks those were? Or you if there is a curated list of banks that work on custom ROMs?

This is why i stopped using an ISP router… And went eiht pfsense. Last time i tried to change a port forward my wifi went out for a whole week before they even answered. I gave u at that point. They think you’re absolutely brain dead, they treat you like you’re absolutely brain dead. And they themselves are absolutely brain dead. I had enough. So I’ve installed my own shit and i haven’t had an outage since then. Surprise surprise?

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…

I never said i was outraged or not. But at least when i game and being morally deplorable, I’ve actively chosen to do so with intent. That’s still way better than them deciding for me to waste the energy when i don’t even use the result. If you don’t see the difference there isn’t much to talk about here.

Hence why I said if I don’t actively avoid them. I used those services before AI was a thing. So it was not my decision.
