    I would argue it’s the opposite of being good with beginners. Having used many distros for years, with most of my time spent in Arch and NixOS, nix basically follows zero Linux conventions and requires you to learn a new language, learn the conventions of the nix community and ecosystem (channels vs flakes, home manager, etc)

    I primarily use nix but it’s specifically because I can write nix files and use them anywhere, so I’m a hobbyist, not a beginner

    Mint is good for total beginners. Arch is good for those that really want to learn how Linux works. Nix is for those that want a reproducible system, not beginners

    Absolutely, I’m definitely not criticizing the devices, I have an iPad Pro and the thing is very impressive in terms of computing capability for such a thin and light device and especially considering its battery life.

    My only gripe is with the restrictions on the OS. I’d love to be able to use Darwin on iPadOS the same way I do on Mac for local development tasks.

    With Apple opening up restrictions so we can use things like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/utm-se-retro-pc-emulator/id1564628856 for emulating other OS’s it’s certainly a step in the right direction, but I do wish they would consider the other “pro” side of potential mobile computing users, one side is creative professionals (photo/video/audio/writing), but they don’t have that same support for the development side of the pro world.

    Hell, I’d buy an 11 inch MacBook Pro or Air with an M series chip in a heartbeat, but it’d probably be easier if they just opened up the iPad to a local dev environment

    Yeah that’s a huge part of it. Few Americans (me included) frequently walk outdoors on anything but sidewalks or paved roads in their normal day to day travels. When I go hiking I take those shoes off before I get back into the car, but my daily driver boat shoes which rarely touch actual dirt? I don’t have a problem leaving those on in most places, my house included. Same I imagine for Americans where their job is construction or something where your shoes are dirtied, take the work shoes off when you get home, but it’s fine to wear more casual shoes

    Edit: what a strange thing to get downvoted about

    Double edit: I guess the first downvotes were just from people who very much don’t like shoes in the house under any circumstances. That’s ok. If I come to your house my shoes will come off. If you come to mine, feel free to leave them on if they aren’t muddy.
