Nix apps are not sandboxed and you have no control of what resources they have access to or don’t, unless you wrap them with some other program

How the fuck…

Windows sucks, I love open source, built my own computer didn’t want to pay a 100$

Xournal++ for sure

Lol so they stuck a rf target on their tanks…

I use nixos, due to the incredible state management. You know exactly what versions of packages are on your machine, can build all packages from source yourself or download from a binary cache. 100% reproducible. Steep ass learning curve but tbh it’s well worth it. Saves you configuration time and energy in the long run. I’ve stopped distro hopping the implementation is so good. If you are concerned about security you can definitely harden it. There’s a lot more to security then package version. And even then nixos gives you the choice.

It’s likely if other browsers collapse they could rule chrome a monopoly too

You’d be surprised how many people don’t care about business practices. It’s actually kind of alarming

I love nix but it’s my main gripe with nixos. They really should switch to an alternative service.

Basically but it’s better, nix has a unique way of doing the underlying the logic which as is own benefits. Also since nix is not a container it doesn’t have any of the speed penalties that come along with that. Since nix is functional as well, it means all operations can be undone. So where you might te build a docker image from scratch or by using a A/B system like other immutable distros it allows nix to just modify the system while it’s running with minimal side effects.

Everything about your OS is defined in a config files and can be rebuilt. You break something you don’t need to do a complete reinstall if you can’t figure it out. Just rebuild the last working configuration. Sharing builds with your friends is easier.

For gaming getting your graphics card going is much simpler. I never had steam and proton games run as well as they do with they nixos defaults

I think infrastructure as code is best utilized when paired with software testing and rapid deployment. It allows for a kind of granularity manual configuration doesn’t give you

Oh sorry I didn’t assumed you meant darwinian pressure as in the kind that causes genetic changes in a population through natural selection? Because that seems cruel and unreasonable?

I drew the conclusion that you meant darwinian pressures that influence the success of one pattern of thought over another in the current population?

You assume the average individual is intelligent enough to come to the correct conclusion after thinking.

If windows was installed once on a motherboard if you install windows from USB again on the same motherboard even after wiping it will remember your purchase and not make you pay again

There’s been a couple forks but that’s not all. They are made votes to massively restructure their governance system. Things are looking up on the main nixos branch!

Gnome osk keyboard is pretty subpar if you ask me though

No but here is a open source branch of it called haiku and it works great!

I’m out of the loop what happened

Mint->arch->nixos
