I use NixOS on my personal machine and nixpkgs on my work Ubuntu (22.04 LTS). In the absence of NixOS I would not be using it: it somehow breaks all the file (open, save, etc.) windows, causing any app that tries to open one to crash (particularly annoying for browsers).

Not to mention the wrapGL issue.

It needs more polish on "genericlinux". I did previously use it on MacOS, and it did make MacOS almost bearable - definitely years ahead of brew.

GPU drivers. It uses the Ubuntu 22.04 (LTS) userspace side of drivers. Could be incompatible with your kernel. Had all sorts of graphical weirdness with my AMD GPU with flatpak Steam.

Grubby is a good example of someone who was recently reformed. In one of his early Dota 2 videos (some time last year), he admitted that he didn't know that games outside of Blizzard had gotten so good - he actually only played Blizzard games and nothing else. It's been pretty wholesome watching someone learn the wider gaming world.

Silverblue doesn't solve the same problems as Nix, or Ansible for that matter. I built my own in the past and it was non-trivial - although the CI process could pair quite nicely with Ansible. IMHO the primary advantage of Silverblue is that updates are a download, with practically zero work to do after the download has completed (this is a very big deal for RPM-based systems because an update boot can take a long time).

As for Ansible vs Nix, try switching from one program to another across all your machines. It's doable but not fun. Now try switching back across all your machines. Nix makes your system equal a configuration, it does not add configuration.

You're being down voted because Apple supporting old hardware is the only thing that Apple is good about. Would have done well in almost any other thread.

I love it enough to donate. Forego is an awesome project.

This kind of gatekeeping is what scares people off.

Enjoying those endocrine suppressors? You definitely want aluminum, but Stanley isn't the only way to do that. My wife got a pretty good Yeti with a pretty nice drinking spout, I think it's the magdock?

Either way, stop drinking out of plastic.

Harassment is continuing once being told "no." There are a few frames missing from that comic for it to count as harassment.

Mumble needs a new client. As much as we, myself included, hate Electron apps, no normie is going to use Mumble when it looks the way that it does.

Look up " The Daughters of the Confederacy". The monuments aren't even historic.
