I signed up at gandi.net earlier this year. I even read their Wikipedia, which said they merged with another company in February. Still went ahead, because they had email included in the cheap domain name. A month after I got the mail they’ll be increasing prices too. Not sure if I’ll go somewhere else now, or if I’ll just start paying for email (4€/month or something)
What a hilariously and refreshingly honest company! I don’t think I want to join in the beta phase yet, but I’ll definitely keep it in mind and will check back in the future.
pict-rs, the software Lemmy uses to upload media by default, is a bit wack right now so people usually get around this (and some other issues) by uploading to sites like files.catbox.moe or postimages.org (the former of which can upload any media while the latter can only do images/gifs). I recommend checking that out - it can come in handy sometimes!
I can absolutely recommend hyprland to you, tiling compositor with animations you likely know from macOS, lots of configurability and a good example of using it with nix (NixOS might be a good choice here) github.com/fufexan/dotfiles
Also quite a nice discord server or matrix if you have questions about it.
I like NixOS and haven’t had any struggles with it. For my tiling I use Hyprland, as it’s Wayland and looks very nice. For a bar with amazing configuration I can recommend either github.com/elkowar/eww or github.com/aylur/ags - in the first one you configure it in a lisp-like language, the second one is configured in JS. They both allow you to pretty much write any GTK widgets for your bar, and are really powerful, but ags is newer and allows for more advanced functionality.
My favorite terminal emulator is foot - it’s simple and quick.
I wouldn’t say Nix is easy at the beginning as you have to learn a language to use it properly, but it’s definitely worth it long-term.
There shouldn’t be any issues with 2 keyboards and custom layouts on Linux. If anything you could use something like hawck to rebind the keys (system-wide) to something else.
I run NixOS on my macbook with the stack above. If you want to you could check out my NixOS config, but I’m using a configuration framework so it’s a bit complicated. github.com/n3oney/nixus
See configs/vic and hosts/vic for macbook-specific configs, everything else in my NixOS config is shared between machines and I opt into it per-machine in configs/<hostname>
Also not sure what you mean by your configuration struggles. Never had that happen. Also worth mentioning, my macbook runs Full Disk Encryption which needs my Yubikey to unlock, and I also have impermanence - everything (outside of a few specified directories like ~/Downloads) gets wiped on a reboot, so that my configuration is as reproducible as it can be. I could pretty much reinstall the system and have everything be 100% the same.
