Pre-blowback: fucking children is fine if they consent to it
Post-blowback: friends explained to me that it hurts the children and that they can't consent
Ubuntu, RHEL and Fedora use it as the default and they are very big distros. Idk if it's enough but that's what I know.
I mean, that's pretty irrelevant. If you were for example at least comparing the downloads of fedora Vs spins, that would be a beginning of something.
Idk. KDE was unstable for me and it always has bugs after major releases. They should test things better.
In case it wasn't obvious: stability is not reliability
So does GNOME, especially when you have a lot of extensions
KDE is pretty crap in both regards
Personal opinion.
Is that why every distro comes with vanilla GNOME? Oh wait...
But hey at least it's getting better over time.
Meanwhile over the years KDE got lighter than GNOME while constantly piling on features.
So why should we use this instead of just saying lixmaballs and using nix/aux/nux/whatever other fork?
Dude still hasn't decided where to host the repo. It's not an alternative, guix is...
Try it, the worst thing that can happen is you waste a few hours, get mad, break your PC, and get a brain aneurysm
It's far more simple than that. The students are predominantly nobles, and they pretty much completely cut all ties to their previous lives.
So why would you send a hot daughter to become a witch when you can marry her and make political gains? You send the disfigured one so you don't have to waste any more money on her.
The 5th son doesn't need to be disfigured to be essentially useless in the political world.

As you can see from the state of this thread, people see nix or nixpkgs but read nixos. There's no momentum from the community to push it as an extra package manager, while every thread is spammed with nixos.
No gui integrations for casuals. For example Discover integrates flatpaks and snaps, but for nix you need to use the terminal.
The documentation is abysmal. I spent days trying to figure out how to use nix as a declarative package manager before I accidentally came across home-manager. Even the manual leads you down the wrong path. A quick start guide with a few examples for home-manager and flakes, and a few basic commands, would've had me going in 5 minutes. That problem is made worse by the fact that almost all sources of info focus on nixos instead.
Edit:
if anyone's interested in trying it out, here's a part of my other comment in this thread
It's just a list of packages, and an optional flake to control the repositories (stable/unstable) and add packages from outside of the official ones.
To update everything nix related I just run:
cd ~/dotfiles/nix/ && nix flake update && home-manager switch
When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
Damn you, the photo didn't load and I thought I'd be the first one. Time to start my own comment chain, with blackjack and hookers.
And now that it's at the top, it attracts more curious clicks, thus it continues to remain on top.
That's exactly how I learned about MX and started using it.
It's not going to stay immutable for long when OP takes a bat to it
Dude heard about vendor lock-in, but has no clue what it is.
Be careful with Nobara. I've also used it for a bit (fedora 38 base) and had an easier time setting it up than fedora 39. It disables most security features to get better performance. Besides that, it's only developed by one dude and primarily for personal use, so when it went from 38 to 39 he just completely dropped his gnome config, broke the upgrade in so many ways, and switched to kde. Also it didn't have an upgrade notification and I had to accidentally learn that a new major version came out.
Dropped it after that because it doesn't inspire confidence, no matter how important GE is for gaming on Linux. I'd rather spend at most an hour setting up MX (Debian) for gaming.
You when you mess something up and only figure it out later?
Because you have 20 of them around the house and don't care if you lose them?
Why would you use disposable refills at all if you care about the environment? A fountain pen can last for many years, the ink comes in glass containers, and it's far nicer for writing in most scenarios.
Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX' high HPD score?
That's definitely a factor. People write and talk about new and exciting stuff, MX is neither. There's no point in writing an article that goes: MX experience - same as a year ago because nothing changed, see ya again in a year.
FOR THE EMPEROR!?!!
Ff with sidebery is pretty amazing. Although, it's annoying you need to add a CSS file to disable regular tabs.
Rule of thumb: if it doesn't require a rootkit anti-cheat, it's probably going to work
Here's a list that wasn't posted yet https://lutris.net/games
Ever heard of the terms faulty generalisation, sampling bias, or echo chamber?
I really wouldn't touch secondhand Ms. No upgrades, no repairs, horrible components (CPU is ok, everything else is straight from the dumpster in order to cover costs).
So when something dies on your device from a company that has a long history of terrible design and QA (I'm betting on storage) you have to pay another $1000+ to replace the whole motherboard. On top of that, I'm guessing that they're also ripping off customers when selling those replacement boards, as having usable ram and storage costs an extra $1000+ when buying new.
Nah, just get butterflies
You forgot selling user searches to amazon
What a horrible name. I literally had to search for "aux nix" to find a Reddit post mentioning the URL. Every other search term combination was giving me results for ps aux.
From my experience it's barely lighter than KDE. LXQT/LXDE destroy it in every benchmark and in every test I've tried.
Almost half of international fintech services are running on COBOL
If anyone is willing to learn a little bit of Guile Scheme - look, the language is great, the project isn't contaminated with multiple scripts, project skeleton is much better, the modules are well written, so why not move over there?
The language is great, but the ecosystem is on life support, and I don't see it getting anywhere close to nix soon. I believe it's especially crippled by being Linux only and forcing free software to the point you're not allowed to even mention the non-free repo in the guix irc.
Random Devs and companies aren't going to use it for their projects, and so there far less maintainers to solve issues like having a node version that's not in maintenance for half a year and 4 major versions behind, or having automated npm package conversions.
Realistically it's currently only useful for a few languages with abysmal PMs, most of which are lisps, and like Haskell.
Why did you write this post in English instead of Esperanto? English is a pretty shit language, especially as the Lingua Franca...
As for your reasoning, it's obvious you don't know what bash is used for. It's purpose is to get shit done quickly and to make working with cli tools easy. For tasks where you need to write more than a few lines of code, or need a feature like cross platform compilation, you should switch to a proper language.
As for why that's good, try writing something along the lines of "curl | jq | cat >> file" in C. For extra points write it out in a single line, in under a minute, while also keeping it perfectly readable.
That's not true even for all of Christianity, let alone all religions...
For example orthodox Christians believe everyone goes to heaven, and that we are all bathed in unconditional love from God. Hell is finding yourself unworthy of that love because of how you lived.
I'm not sure what benefit there is to using it during the day
Less eye strain. It's marginal, but when you're watching text on a screen for 8 hours a day, every little bit helps.
You're going to start accepting pull requests from the community?
AFAIK it doesn't, but at least you have a secure job for the rest of your working days.
It seems like most of the nice-sounding ones are proprietary.
That's pretty standard. Most FOSS projects don't have corporations feeding them 100's of thousands of dollars. Even when they do, well people still say gimp is far worse than ps. Blender is one of the rare complex projects that can compete with proprietary alternatives.
And any ideas why this is an underdeveloped area for open source?
My best guess is that it's really expensive and time consuming. I'd be surprised if those really good proprietary models didn't cost $100k+ just for training.
Oh, yes we have. Gitlab, Codeberg, Notabug, etc. You can even host your own Gitea or Forgejo instance if you want.
Self-hosting is right out for most people. It's pretty expensive to even get started without compromising your home network (router with VLAN, switch, multiple servers (at least thinclients)), and then on top of that you need to maintain it, and can't really ever max out your download/upload speeds because people are depending on your internet to interact with the repo.
Gitlab is also for-profit, but also has blackouts and devs going rm -rf on the production DB. It's often in the news for bad things, so I've generally avoided it.
Codeberg is great for personal repos, but most smaller git hosting services have horrible SEO. Like I've had issues finding repos when searching for their exact name, if I had to use general search terms I'd only see github repos.

You can use any DE with any distro, but not every distro will have it customised well. Mint devs focus heavily on cinnamon as they're the ones developing it, so everything else looks far worse.
Not really:
RHEL is paid if you need more devices than the free license provides
SEL and Ubuntu Pro don't have any free licenses as far as I remember
you can mostly use windows without paying anything
