It’s us millennials coping haha

It’s not a phase!

Remember ndiswrapper?

Not as common as one would like

No issues here, but I haven’t benchmarked anything and any improvement could be placebo. It’s trivial with flakes

You probably know this, but you can even run the CachyOS kernel on NixOS. Currently doing exactly that

Nowhere does it say you have to limit yourself to that

Similar story happened to me literally yesterday. Wanted a new vacuum, saw that a construction store chain that has a store nearby has some on offer, research them for a while on my phone, go buy it, use it.

Then later, I get ads for that exact model and some others from that exact store on my phone while browsing for something completely unrelated.

Yeah, not system can know that I already bought something offline, but still…

You can actually invoke the binary inside a venv using πthon as an Easter egg as far as I know

Didn’t try it, but it’s discussed in an issue

Similarly here. Have an Odroid with that platform, it wasn’t cheap but it came with several advantages:

• 4 SATA ports on addition to the M2 slot
• Intel QSV
• 2 x 2.5 Gbit Ethernet (I only have gigabit at home though)

Very powerful machine for the power usage, I ran a really old Athlon before though (from 2010 or so that I retrofitted with 16GB RAM) that did most stuff just fine. But I wanted some transcoding and also possibly a smaller case.

I run everything bare metal though.

Luckily, it’s not the entire Internet, just the unfun part.

It’s too funny to me that Arch of all distributions attracts the thigh /Unix socks crowd (for lack of better word). Nothing about Arch stands out for me in that regard, there’s no social statement or anything, and when I was more active in the community, it wasn’t known for that.

I was deep enough into Arch to run my own private repository using aurutils, but no thighs :(

If I remember correctly, “earlier” in this case means most of them but the last ones. I haven’t seen one of these in my life.

It doesn’t really do a lot for most people since you just skip UEFI initialization, which yeah does save a lot of time but you still need to restart all your processes

NixOS’ (which I ended up using) solution requires custom keys.

It was a contender when I switched, but its lack of Secure Boot options unfortunately disqualified it.

I actually considered it once. It failed in a VM but I probably tried too much fancy stuff at once (like replacing OpenSSL…)

To be expected, difficulty of Arch installation was always overblown, and Gentoo doesn’t have an installer either, but you need to handle stage tarballs while in Arch, you just used pacman

People are hating on Powershell way too much. I don’t like its syntax really but it has a messy better approach to handling data in the terminal. We have nu and elvish nowadays but MS was really early with the concept and I think they learned from the shortcomings of POSIX compatible shells.
