They are exasperated that we use computer mice.

So they use Tiling window managers and vim-keys? The future is bright!

Whenever somebody recommends NixOS, I just want to spam the comments with Guix. I prefer configs I can understand, and I think lisp makes that easier. Other than syntax, the only thing I see is people complaining about the free-oftware-only. But the recently hyped distrobox solves that (together with the nonguix repo). Yet nobody recommends guix in all these "immutable" distro threads.

In my opinion Guix is the best mix of:

• Arch (rolling release),

• NixOS ("immutable", atomic updates , rollback, reproducible, declarative configs)

• Gentoo (source code based, write your own package definitions for any source code you find),

with some lispy syntax.

I think about words and their etymology a lot. Of course many words have their origin in Latin. And then I am amazed how they used kind of the the same word ~2k years ago.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. A scientist is on a mission to save the world. The science stuff is accurate and easy to understand in my opinion (but I'm a physicist, lol).

The author also wrote the Martian, that was adapted as a movie, you probably know it.

My colleague recommends it to everyone, and she reads a lot. I read a little and also liked it. Not only because of the science, but also because of the story.

If you know where to look you can get a high end bike that was unfinished at the factory and didn’t get painted/stickered/branded and pay a fraction of the price.

Can you tell me where that is?

I'm studying nano science right now, I think it still exists. And if it does it's still a super amazing thing.

Suddenly they all make 99.999 billion...

Can we agree on .hdf/.h5?

Both. I have to use windows at work and I hate it.

I did a little bit of distro hopping: Mint, Ubuntu, Manjaro, Arch, Guix. Now I think I finally arrived at Tumbleweed, no need to hop somewhere else so far.

But I really like the concept behind Guix, it's just not finished enough.

Not on steam, but PokéRouge is my current addiction

If you talk about a physical keyboard that is plugged into your steam deck: have a look at eurkey

Was pretty easy to setup in Manjaro a year ago. Can't say how it is now, I'm using hyprland now.

That's what I mean with distrobox. You decide to run distribution A. Later you realize a package(program) is not available in A but in distribution B. So you run distrobox and have B on top of A. And access to all the packages.

I can not find that movie. Did you spell it correctly?

I really liked "small brained american" travelling from Ireland to Japan (on a motorcycle). It starts slow and kind of boring in the UK but the later parts are so good. Less commentary, just showing life. He is visiting "dangerous" countries like Ukraine, Iraq and Myanmar, but focussing on the normal people's everyday lifes, while being a "small brained american".

If you want to try OpenSUSE Tumbleweed without all these weird defaults: Try Gecko Linux.

Yes

Maybe use btrfs, which has reduplication and compression capabilities. I never tried it in Guix but it's like magic.

So far I had not much time, but I tried and failed with different errors when trying to pull an image regarding policy.json. do you use docker or podman?

This looks like a problem with the image. But I can try as soon as I am back home.

Everybody is recommending to not install Manjaro. Try EndeavourOS instead. Or just pure arch. That's what I will probably do soon.

Yes, that's true. You lose reproducibility by using distrobox. But so far I did not need distrobox on my Guix laptop, the nonguix repo was enough. It was just a suggestion for somebody caring more about availability of packages than reproducibility to use Guix as the stable base and distrobox on top.
