I’ve seen quite a few people rocking NixOS with Hyperland. And I thought the whole idea of Nix was to be more stable than most rolling releases?
I don’t use either so I’m far from an expert on this.

Funnily the first time I tried Linux on my desktop was because I wanted to play BF4 but the EA App refused to launch on Windows 10 even after restarting/reinstalling everything.
I slapped Pop_OS on a backup SSD and got it running through Lutris within the hour.
Origin was a fucking nightmare to use even on Windows, and honestly…the EA desktop app wasn’t really an improvement.
EndeavourOS cult following furry drama queen Mary Lee Harvey Oswald shot in the shower wbu?
This gibberish was brought to you by OpenBoard…
Maaaaybe, Who’s asking?
Shout out to my buddy who has been using an un-activated copy of Win10 for over 5 years despite being called out anytime he shares his screen.
And yes we told him how to but “It doesn’t bother him”
‘I’m turning into a penguin’
Good onya mate!
Luckily the laptop doesn’t use Nvidia.
Hopefully soon my own desktop won’t either >.>
Devs who make the -h command actually useful are modern day saints.
You can change the core count AFTER making the VM which I agree is really annoying.
Besides that everything else has worked more reliably than others options I’ve tried.
I hate to say it but having a full desktop is becoming more and more of an enthusiast setup.
Even laptops are becoming somewhat niche as people more just use their phone for all web browsing.
I understand having updates go south on you, I do use a rolling release on my own PC, Annnnd Windows 10 before that.
But I’m paranoid about security, increasingly so in recent times. So I at least want him on an updated web browser.
I am a KDE enjoyer and use it on my own desktop. But Gnome works really well for touchscreen devices and my dad has already gotten used to it so.
Gnome Boxes has worked pretty well for me.
I honestly forgot Debian had a none stable version.
He’s not too picky with web browsers as long as it…well browses the web.
I’ll give it a go and hopefully get 4 years away from being tech support. Thanks!
That’s what I’ve heard just wanted to see if anyone on here had experience just letting it update in the background.
Videos of the Steamdeck showed me how good gaming on Linux had gotten and that’s when I started looking into switching.
I already hated using Windows 10 so didn’t take me much convincing to look at alternatives.
I’m not a programmer or work in the I.T. field in anyway. But I have been messing around with computers since I could remember so I’m no stranger to tweaking, breaking and trying to repair things.
The one kept at home until recently was some early 2000s white(yellowing) and blue thing, might have been Laser.
We had an Inkjet sometime around 2014 and went back to using the old one because it worked more of the time.
Half my family just email whatever they want printing to my Dad and he prints it at his workplace.
We’ve owned multiple printers over the years but 8/10 no matter what device you used, The printer just didn’t work. The “Dad strategy” has never failed.
To add to the software point, STOP buying hardware that requires some shitty software to fully work.
I did this back in the Windows 7 days years before I even knew anything about Linux. But Razers rootkit managed to load in before the Win7 login screen then crash it. After that I avoided any peripherals with mandatory software and it made my transition to Linux a lot easier than most people I know.
AUR or flatpak.
Honestly the longer I spend daily driving Linux the more I enjoy using flatpaks…
