I’ve heard Flatpaks aren’t great at CLI tools, is that true ?

As a Nix user, I’m glad Flatpaks exist for other people, but I only ever use them when a package is not available from Nix directly. Seeing as Nix is literally the biggest package manager out there, it’s a pretty rare occurrence.

You should switch Organic Maps for CoMaps in the checklist.

The only irreplaceable thing Google has is YouTube.

You can set it up to compile all your software yourself with the exact options you want, just like Gentoo. Not how most people use it, but still, NixOS can fulfill some of the same roles as Gentoo, they are very comparable.

Use Obtainium, and try to get apps outside of F-Droid as much as possible. Their method of signing apps themselves introduces a huge single point of failure in the security chain…

It sounds like a cool distro but I don’t see any advantages compared to NixOS, aside from maybe the option to make it more minimal for constrained environments.

No, though I imagine Graphème could implement one (but it would break Material You)

And be careful with wallpapers, apps can get accent colors from your wallpaper, which are completely unique unless you use the default black one.

Cash by physical mail. Letters are traceable, bank notes are traceable, and physical objects you have been in contact with are virtually guaranteed to have both your fingerprints and DNA on them, no matter how hard you try to prevent that.

Cash by mail is fake privacy.

“Won’t support Lemmy” is a bit strong, but we should probably de-federate lemmy.ml

Bold of you to assume I am American, did you not check the instance I am from ?

Yes, there are many lies about China, but don’t get stuck in second opinion syndrome. China is both worse and better than you know.

The fact the government lies about China, while China is still bad behind the scenes, can both be true. During the cold war, both sides accused the other of being evil, and both were right.

Don’t let anyone who puts a “communist” sticker on their own forehead fool you into supporting them.

China bad. US bad. Russia bad.

All three can be true at the same time. (And they are)

When I used Fedora for a while with my 2070 I had literally no problems at all 🤷🏻‍♀️

Check your games on ProtonDB

The only games in my library that don’t work are entirely the publisher’s fault for blacklisting Linux in their anticheat, and it’s very few games even then.

I’m trying to move my conversations to Signal, but some people are strangely resistant, despite using multiple corporate social media messaging services besides that.

alias ed=$EDITOR

Extremely convenient on a qwerty keyboard.

This should probably be a default nowadays. Does even a single person here use the real ed ?

alias ed=$EDITOR is my most used alias by far.

ganis :

git add -A && sudo nixos-rebuild switch --impure -j$(nproc)

Everyone who uses nixos probably has a similar alias set x)
