XenGi

Can’t say I’d prefer it yet. Still figuring out how nix works.

Currently using stow, but in the process of switching to home manager from nix. Syncing via git.

Yes, it’s still X11. I want to switch to Wayland.

But then your still using i3 + lots of custom scripts. I don’t find the time anymore to maintain all this custom config. I want to switch to Wayland but I don’t want to invest all that time with sway again.

I’m currently doing this with xfce replacing it’s window manager with i3. Sadly that doesn’t work on Wayland anymore because the concept of a window manager doesn’t exist anymore. Your DE is a compositor now.

Still waiting for a DE that’s looks and acts like i3/sway but takes care of everything under the hood like monitor config, shortcuts for brightness, volume etc. Essentially everything Gnome or KDE does.

Yeah, we Germans don’t realize yet how close we are again. It sure feels like the last days of the Weimar republic sometimes. Mostly because our “normal” politicians fail horribly.

This is true for nearly every (white) country.

Apple is just as bad in a different way. There is no perfect solution. People need to understand what they do, to do it well. That doesn’t mean that the average Joe needs to learn C. He can continue to write down the process on some sticky notes but it would help if he does look beyond the horizon e g. understand what the buttons he clicks all day actually do.

That’s why the developed world is taking about universal basic income and not minimum wage. Guess the US will get there at some point too. If they stop falling back into the dark ages at some point.

No that’s a Google search. Which mainly displays external name cases which expose name over usb/thunderbolt. Which in case of usb4 is exactly the same way an internal nvme works, via pcie.

You could run a VM and plan to setup one service on it as an exercise. NixOS wiki is pretty ok in general, but it is a useful skill to read the code of the modules you use. Flakes are poorly documented and also controversial. So I wouldn’t hop on that yet.

Arch on everything with a screen. NixOS on everything without.

Yes please go around tell people that. Everyone should know I said that. /s

The content I want to have will never be on a meta server. And even if, I will not federate with them and not use them.

For the exact same reasons I also don’t use Facebook.

I can’t reproduce any of the issues you’re mentioning. Signal is the only messenger that consistently “just works” over the last few years.
