Love it! My only thing against clear plastics is how the yellowing over time is more obvious. But perhaps some upkeep with UV protectant could help with that on the user's end 🙂

Why is KDE going to sleep when there is disk i/o? And why is a partition expansion taking over 10 minutes?

Either way, that sucks. Hope you can recover everything.

He's the CEO of an AI start up it looks like. Of course he needs to downplay Deepseek, how else is he going to get that sweet VC money?

If you do, try to keep the linux boot files on a separate drive than your windows installation, because windows has been known to nuke them during updates.

I'm curious, who is the target audience or use case? Because DNS records aren't something you need to mess with often, and if you *are* messing with it often then you'll probably have it automated via established APIs.

Either way, grats on public beta release

I think many normies that consider themselves techsavvy have built their own computers, since that's pretty common, which would mean they've installed an OS via USB.

But yeah there's a point to be made there.

Sadly sometimes part of the extra work that needs to be done is reviewing PRs and merging them.

As someone who tries to contribute, it gets tiring having your PR sit in limbo and having to constantly rebase it to keep it up to date with upstream, until it's not even worth keeping updated anymore 😒

Yes, piggy-backing off of you--

Do NOT use NixOS as your first distro. Nothing will make sense and you will regret it.

But to answer OP's question, it depends on what games. For me *personally*, it's been perfect. Every game I've wanted to run Proton can. You can prob do some looking up tho

There's a ./venv/bin/activate.fish that you're supposed to use from fish.

Barring that, you could have just entered a bash shell, activated it, and then activate a fish shell afterwards.

Needing an extra package to modify the generated script is pretty sus

Have you tried using X11 forwarding with ssh?

My whole Linux experience at the time was a few months on Mint.

The next few months were fun, playing catch up on the entirety of everything linux server related...

High-key thankful for that, though. Wouldn't have the skill set that I have today otherwise.

It's easy

My "training" was basically a 30min discord call and a link to nix pills LMAO

Of course, I'm sure some people use it just to feel unique/elite/different, but that doesn't take away from its true merits.

It can't be justified for everyone though. I'd only recommend Nix(OS) to someone who either
1) Has the time+want+will to learn
or
2) Has a use case for it (I.e. servers)

I didn't choose NixOS as much as it chose me. I got dropped into managing a NixOS server as a greenhorn and just had to learn. Maybe it's Stockholm syndrome, but I'm daily driving it now.

Anyways, I think nixos is an exception, because it is truly different than other distros

That's nothing, try getting used to deleting a word back with Ctrl+W and then using any program with tabs.

I've managed to train myself to start catching it before I do it, but it still slips sometimes.

It's significantly worse on web terminals 😅

I'm pretty sure the universe will die before I switch off NixOS. There's 0 incentive to switch off. Gone are the days of broken changes and cluttered systems.

I use Hyprland for my desktop.

If you're brand new, I'd recc Pop OS because it is a little less hands on than Endeavor.

It'll also be a more stable experience. I'd also recommend Linux mint as something even more newb-friendly.

Finally, best advice is to not immediately commit and just try each of them out for a little bit

You sure you don't have a cryptominer infection? 😂

It's not an excuse, it's the reality. Newer software requires more hardware resources.

Do you think it's planned obsolescence that a Pentium III with 256MB of RAM wouldn't be able to run modern OSes and games (well)?

PO would be more like your CPU dying on its own for no reason after some years.

Some of those I can get behind, it can look nice.

But the telltale sign for me of someone who doesn't use their system "seriously" (not that there's anything wrong with that), is an overly transparent terminal with a busy background 😆
