MischievousTomato , to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

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

MischievousTomato , to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

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 , to linux in Give it to me straight. How worried are you for Fedora's future after Red Hats recent anti user decisions?

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 , to linux in 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?

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

MischievousTomato , to linux in 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?

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

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

MischievousTomato , to programmerhumor in open source in progress...

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 , to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

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

MischievousTomato , to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

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 , to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

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 , to linux in Give it to me straight. How worried are you for Fedora's future after Red Hats recent anti user decisions?

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

MischievousTomato , to programmerhumor in this is right way

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

MischievousTomato , to linux in Share Your Favorite Linux Distros and Why You Love Them

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

MischievousTomato , to linux in Share Your Favorite Linux Distros and Why You Love Them

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
