I played computer games since I was like 5 years old, it’s not so hard to figure out when you just get to play a few hours a day. I figured stuff out by myself even though I didn’t even speak English and everything was in English

Games might be a place to start, but a kid will think “tablet is easier”.
If you play RTS games it’s really hard to do it without mouse and keyboard, so that’s a point for a desktop or laptop
I would just like my inputs to be separate from the outputs. Anyone write a split pane thing?
Yeah, but only when you build with lto+pgo which will take even longer

spend an hour building to save 1ms per page load
This is probably the most polished one I’ve found


the UIs for things like configs are not really usable in my experience, unless someone found something that works better


Disagree, nix is a lot better than standard package managers. For one, you can have packages installed that rely on different dependecy versions


The hypothetical hater is wasting time talking about it because you can install nix on most setups, even Mac OS
And it has the most packages, a number of magnitude more than snaps and flatpaks combined


Or, you could save time by not caring about the 2GB and just installing it. If you really care, get it from nixpkgs


I respect your wrong opinion
I’m just waiting for the moment I can update my packages (when all the unstable builds get updated)
We need to do a group buy. I don’t want 62 laptops, but there might be 61 other people that want one more laptop…
You can vibe code your config so now you have no excuse
What do you mean the entire thing broke a few months ago? It broke only weeks ago, NixOS has the freshest breakages in the linux ecosystem
So they could do it for pixels and this open source firmware could be used by Graphene OS, for example?


Ubuntu is gross, don’t recommend. It works until it doesn’t. Expect questions like “why doesn’t USB access work in chromium” and having to try to explain what snap is
If you can choose. I wasn’t able to get chromium installed without hunting for a .deb and I needed USB access which snap didn’t give me


I wish everyone would just switch to standard OTPs
What’s the point of hibernation? You have so much stuff open in some exact state you can’t just turn off the computer?
It takes less time for me to boot fresh than to resume from hibernation (32GB of RAM)
Or in some cases wine
