This is awesome!

I understand the frustration. L however at least use mint or Debian

If you don’t need simulink then it’s more than enough

Not specifically a nixos issue, also at least nix gives you rollbacks

I use gdu personally

Flatpak is surprisingly low

Secure != stable Immutable distros aren’t always more secure but rather more stable and hard to break Also btw nixos can apply updates without rebooting

More like familiar and unfamiliar

My experience with Ubuntu was filled with bugs and i hated snaps, suggested it to a friend and installed it for him and he kept getting errors and bugs everywhere for some reason, he had the impression that linux is a buggy mess. I’m not suggesting ubuntu to a new user ever again, fedora is the way to go, i just wished they had nvidia drivers in their repos it would have made it easier for new users

Have you tried theming gnome? There’s a ton of videos on youtube if you’re a beginner, i wonder if you’ll have the same thoughts after theming it

It’s transparency and blur, gnome favors performance over looks (not that it looks bad), you can get the same look on gnome if u theme it

Good job catto!, i wonder how long it took

Now nixos

Nixos: everything everywhere all at once

Or just try nixos and don’t be afraid of breaking things ever again

Also you can run them in a container or a sandbox so a plus for linux

Personally i use udiskie

Try ntfsfix command

lsblk

This command will list your drives find the ntfs partition it will be something like: /dev/sda1 Then run ntfsfix on that partition as root

sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda1

If you still boot windows you should disable fast startup it can cause this issue, Good luck!

A reminder that anyone can use nix package manager on their system, needless to say it has by far the largest repos

What’s your favorite dessert?
