Millenials in my part of the world are having children(gen alpha?) they’ll never be able to take proper care of or protect from calamities. Teenage pregnancies and early marriages means a conservative estimate of about 20% of Gen Z have one or more child. It’ll be fun to see what 2040 looks like.

Love to see it.

Or Artix, everyone forgets bleeding edge no-systemd

it makes me happy

This is the exact way I feel about Gnu Guix_SD

Hello, Fellow Guix-SD user.

Sure would

Correct, a lot of ppl who started using emacs at inception still do so today.

Doesn’t have dark mode == useless

SourceHut is another option, both can be self-hosted.

It has options to deny network access to apps, though it’s a bit hidden in the network settings for each app instead of thru a “Firewall” app

You can check out RethinkDNS for blocking or isolating apps.

Find different channels and substitute servers or create your own

I wonder how many accounts on Lemmy.world are cia-bots that keep repeating the `China uses slave labour" mantra

Proof or I don’t believe.

Have you heard of substitutes? They get the job done.

Check out how to use them in the manual above.

You have to setup a Nix service and do some symlink-ing

personally I like Arch first and foremost because I can (and do) have a local repo by rsyncing a rotation of mirrors couple of times a week.

Are these mirrors for prebuilt packages? If not, you should be able to pull from other channels, create your own channel and include all your packages while building them locally.

Also, welcome to Guix System Distribution, I hope you stick around

Let’s say I’m working on a project that requires Go, Node, maybe some C library, and GNU Make. Seems like I would be able to use guix shell for this, right? Great.

Iirc guix shell is for one off package or programs you want to test, say you want to quickly format a drive to exfat or so, when you exit the sub-shell, the installed packages are discarded

guix shell containers would work best for your scenario but I have little experience with them

Size and gnome/GTK dependencies are main reasons why I don’t use Flatpaks (I have nothing against gnome though, it just pulls in too much and KDE is worse in this regards, which is why I use Sway and River)
