I tried Pop!_OS alpha1 with Cosmic Desktop and I even if the general software quality is still what you might expect from the first alpha release, I was impressed on the high-level design decisions they made with Cosmic. As a sway user who would like a bit more structure and hand-holding in my desktop, I think I’m gonna like Cosmic in a year’s time.

I don’t think it does? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_reform_in_Esperanto

I don’t know. Rust seems like a better C++ to me rather than a better C. Plain C is a very simple language.

Yeah, the Rust guys’ proposition is roughly this:

Hey you guys with 20-30 years of experience doing a single thing very well. Let’s nullify most of that skillset and replace it with a thing we’re good at.

Don’t worry, we will teach you.

They’re not technically wrong about Rust being a better choice for a kernel, of course. They’re just incredibly misinformed about the social hurdles they need to climb over for it to happen.

I converted a custom raspberry pi distribution (some kind of a debian I think) into an Arch Linux ARM without a reinstall.

Almost is absolutely \s

Probably mostly because almost nobody uses it.

I actually got NixOS after the latest time I tried it. But I also got that I don’t want it, Arch is much simpler in all the good ways.

And perhaps something like https://github.com/kiviktnm/decman can some day give us part of Nix’s power without going all-in with the functional declarative thingamadoodle.
