Speak for yourself. I am preparing for a high school camp on Monday and all our sound system isn’t working. Stupid proprietary crappy sound boards.

Lack of true open cooperation? Oh wait, you said benefit… Ease of use? Maybe? And slightly less buggy?

Yes, but also… It’s true. Browsers are the number one way folks get viruses.

A year and a half? Basically when hyprland got good enough. I used to use awesome and needed something with similar pretty features.

I think he means nvk. It’s a whole new world. I thought I just heard it’s ready. So worth checking out I guess.

Yea, the whole thing has always given me a lot of pause when I comes to GOS. I’m sure it’s still an awesome solution, but makes me think twice. In the end I have literally zero need or desire for anything Google running on my phone so I’m on calyx.

Been remodeling a house that we just bought and this has been a my experience as well. I just enjoy making things. Software, home automations, wood, anything. The joy of building. I think that’s what it is.

Everything is declared, from packages to configuration, and then I can put it in a git repo locked to versions. If something breaks on updates, you have free rollbacks. Which means you can’t screw up too much. Also it has almost all the software.

NixOS

Id suggest rust, gets you a step closer to the hardware and a bit of a different paradigm than Java while still feeling high level.

While that’s true, all the things they built are individual and open source, it wouldn’t take too much work for sometime who knows how to package things up for a phone app. That said, you’d need another device to do all the processing.

I’ll be honest, I’ve used scribus some and have not liked it. I hope that this makes it better. I much prefer a local Foss program to being forced to run a VM for publisher or make stuff in canva.

Is this for real? So I shouldn’t be worried about using certain websites that they’ll track me around?

I’ve been using Nix for over a year. And have had a pretty good experience. Then in the last 2 months I’ve switched to Guix. Its definitely farther behind. But it has such a better tooling story. I really wish folks could see the potential it has and build for it rather than nix because Guix has so much going for it.

The overall experience for both is great. You get declarative configuration and easy rollback. You do need more storage but it’s not much worse than windows really.
