You can absolutely install Cosmic with Nix
The learning curve is absolutely colossal, especially if you want to use it as a full IDE. Even with the legend panel it still doesn’t tell you have the story
I got two identical 64gb sticks. One’s for a Ventoy setup with a bunch of different ISOs, in case anything has to be done and/or recovered. The other just has occasional random files i might need
If anything, i would expect packagekit frontends to break. If you use pacman as intended, you’ll be just fine
Obviously it’s not, but you have to download all this shit somewhere before compilation. That’s the whole point
I really didn’t like this either. It’s quite surprising, because the rest of Go tooling is quite nice. Not having a venv, or at least something like pnpm-style node_modules is weird
Of course, but that’s not the point. There should be a sane default, and there isn’t one
Golang puts shit specifically in $HOME/go
. Not even .go
. Just plain go
.
Why is it so difficult to follow industry standards
I always find it interesting, when people claim they don’t like Arch, because it breaks, supposedly.
Out of genuine curiosity, what did you find, that kept breaking, that wasn’t user error, and wasn’t easily reparable?
That’s definitely not a bug. Plasma 6.1 introduced an accessibility feature, that helps you find the cursor easier if you shake it for a bit
I compile my kernel with specific cpu optimizations, so i’ll just have to recompile a new image. Outside of that, everything is drop-in
I’ve just switched my secondary machine to Nix, and was in the process of switching my main too, so it really is quite a shame. I’m really enjoying the distribution, but if the organization continues to have colossal government issues, and repelling active packagers, that’s really not a good sign
Even with all the privacy concerns aside, I absolutely fucking despise it, when I cannot use my computer the way I want it to be used. That alone would have been enough to convince me to switch. Not to mention that trying to fix issues is a waste of effort, because the system internals are obscured into oblivion. Looking up any issue results in a generic “have you tried turning it off” answer from a Microsoft forum bot.
I like how the Linux kernel works, and I like how things around it are designed. It’s much simpler, a lot more straight-forward, and I can setup shit how I like it. It’s almost as if people who are working on Windows know that they want to tighten their grip over your system, to the extremes, but at the same time, don’t have the reputation of Apple, to be let off the hook, when they pull complete bullshit moves every time
I wasn’t having many issues to begin with, but with the introduction of explicit sync into Kwin, and driver improvements throughout the 555 beta series, it’s been just about perfect for me.
The only issue i’ve encountered so far is the panel freezing sometimes. Submit a bug report to both KDE and Nvidia, they’re working on it.
I’m curious why the separation between these still exists, because a bunch of distributions symlink all of these to /usr/bin
either way
If you have reading comprehension of, at least, an 8th-grader, you’ll do just fine. The instructions are all there
I have mine through namecheap too, although the name server is from cloudflare now. The only issue i’ve had was some shitty forums preventing registrations from anything that wasn’t @gmail.com
I’ve switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it’s genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn’t run like a furnace, even under load
