I mean, sure, it works… But USBC would also just work. They already use it on their laptops (with them being huge proponents of thunderbolt and USBC), and iPads.

MischievousTomato ,

Xiaomi and Motorola are still out there making new phones that have usbc and use usb2.0 inside them

The update manager in Linux Mint updated libllvm15 and now Brave is completely unusable for me. Is it possible to fix this without using a system backup?

Brave is my primary web browser but every page I visit isn’t being rendered correctly at all and some pages are completely broken. I have a system backup from a few days ago but I’d prefer not to have to use it if I can. I think Brave is the only thing that was affected but I think I should try to revert the update if it’s...

MischievousTomato ,

If you’re gonna be like that I could also suggest to OP to move to Windows or MacOS 🤷‍♂️

MischievousTomato ,

That’s not the point, because it’s not what the OP asked for

NixOS is as mature as arch, I’d say, but because of its nature it has issues here and there, but rarely so.

That said, the learning curve for nix/nixos is very very very steep, so good luck learning. It took me a while for me to use it nicely, and even then, I’m nothing more than a beginner. Even so, I’m quite comfortable and pretty much can’t use any other linux distro.

MischievousTomato ,

I wish I knew. I learned of it and started playing with it last year, with me using it full time since Feb of 2023, with a couple of hopping and then coming back to NixOS

MischievousTomato ,

For many it’s a radical change in paradigm, and I assume many just want to understand it well

MischievousTomato ,

I never went back to windows. I had my stuff in a separate partition so when I went back to Fedora or Arch, I had my stuff there

MischievousTomato ,

hahahaha nice. I hope I don’t have to dual boot windows. My laptop is fast enough for VMs

MischievousTomato ,

Sometimes you need a quick/clear fix and the documentation doesn’t help with that. SO, though, is.

MischievousTomato ,

I am more worried about them dropping packages to push users to use flatpaks.

MischievousTomato ,

Your 2 big positives are stuff I agree with wholeheartedly. But I’m still holding out on using flatpak because it feels like an incomplete solution still. There’s many things with it I could work around, definitely, but it feels annoying and with NixOS I don’t have to worry about those issues because stuff just works for me.

As for FS, I wanted to love it, but doing some stuff with it is annoying. I wish it let you install stuff with dnf to /usr/local (like how it is on bsds or also macs with brew iirc).

Organizing my thoughs: I would love a future where flatpak just works, the sandboxing is nice and all you need is to click “yes” or “no” when an app wants/needs something, where you don’t even need to use your distro’s package manager (or you can’t even use it because the distro is immutable and it updates on its own), but we’re not yet there. Installing fonts on FS was a nightmare, and I had to layer stuff like powertop and other stuff I don’t remember right now. Also flatpak isn’t yet a good solution for development with VScode or similar stuff.

MischievousTomato ,

nixos so kino

MischievousTomato ,

Nixos. For all its complexity and dilemmas and issues it has given me, it’s the comfiest for me and gives me really cool features

MischievousTomato ,

just keep on going. i cant be happy on any other distro, so i have to use nixos

MischievousTomato ,

Fedora has COPR, Opensuse has the OBS (which also works for other distros), NixOS (my beloved) has overlays…

MischievousTomato ,

Things are getting better as snaps and flatpaks gain popularity, but both of those systems have lots of issues of their own, and arguably aren’t anywhere near as good as a proper native package for your distro. Flatpaks don’t really work for CLI tools. Snaps are stupidly slow. Both snaps and flatpaks still struggle with theming. Applications installed with either take up way more space than their natively-packaged equivalents.

Flatpaks would beat native packages if they didn’t have a trillion papercuts and issues. I’m on NixOS because I want to avoid using flatpak.

MischievousTomato ,

Same. Exactly. Packaging can be a bit more complex, but once you get it, it’s great. There’s even the NUR, but I havent used it.

MischievousTomato ,

I am only using them and they seem very kino. I don’t do anything complex with them, but, I like that adding new repos is as simple as reponame.url = repourl and then you can use its stuff after adding it to your outputs

MischievousTomato ,

I dont have links in hand, but I remember the flatpak devs saying they targeted/care about desktop gui apps. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t use flatpaks anytime soon if ever

MischievousTomato ,

That’s so nice. Husky for Android (pleroma/akkoma/soapbox) app works nicely, but is broken in some places and aesthetically outdated.

MischievousTomato ,

it’s mostly focused on adding pleroma/akkoma support. It can show and add custom reactions (only when someone else has already added one on a post), and some other stuff. But it’s not a good app. Images take ages to load!
