That’s really insightful!

Also didn’t know about secureblue, it looks really interesting, hopefully it can all work together

Lmao yes
Arch and queer, name a better duo

The + is just standing for latest

This is serious, Tux fookin shot down a man

Aw man haha

moved past Nix and use flatpak and brew

That sounds a bit funny, when those technologies are just (despite me not liking to use this term) inferior, in terms of packaging, only flatpak really shines because of its embedded permission model, one of the reasons why I also still use it, though there are ways to use bubblewrap with Nix packages which I honestly haven’t tried.

So, perhaps I shouldn’t be necessarily opposed to home-manager

Yeah, I think you should at least give it a shot and see how you like it, it’s not as easy right out of the box as the other 2 you mentioned, of course, so you should find out for yourself what you feel more comfortable using.

crossover between brew and chezmoi

That is kinda neat, but, to me, it really feels more like a last resort when you somehow can’t access Nix, Nix is just that much more structurally sound than all the other 3rd party package managers that you can install alongside your system’s, I say that mostly because of versioning that doesn’t break, and package manager as well as configuration being all cohesively described with a single language, it’s not exactly easy, so I won’t say “what more could you want?”, but look at the features of both to see what you really want first.

I don’t remember when this installer was declared stable for use on Fedora, I have installed it in May myself, so after that post.

In the issues tab there seems to be some problems still, like #1325, for me, at least, it’s mostly all fine, the only issue I still have is that some things don’t work due to the user’s home directory being a synlink to /var/home/<username>, rare enough that I still use it

Sorry, can’t help you there since I’ve found out about that impermanence thing with this post, but I have a question, what is the problem that doesn’t allow you to use Home Manager on Fedora Atomic? AFAIK you just run DeterminateSystems’s Nix installer and everything is set up correctly, aside from maybe a couple of configurations, then you install Home Manager as usual, as the official documentation says

without strings attached

How does he read??

Don’t be ashamed, I think a lot here secretly like it, it’s just very extensible because so many use it in the form of VSCode and it’s just great for what it is, despite being Microsoft’s for all intents and purposes

I did too, I had installed with 2 drives, Windows first, then Kinoite, but the problem was that Windows automatically put its bootloader on drive 1 even if the OS was installed to drive 2, so when I installed Kinoite on disk 1, it naturally wiped everything that was on there.
My stupid easy solution was to reinstall Windows on drive 2 again, but with drive 1 disconnected from the PC at installation time, so it couldn’t mess up, other answers here might be more refined (no pun intended) though, if you prefer/need to salvage the Windows system and can’t just delete it.
Mine actually wasn’t that easy either, because the drive was ButLocker encrypted, so before I could proceed to destroy everything, to save my files, I also needed to boot from Linux, mount the drive, decrypt with the BitLocker key and copy over the files to drive 2

(Actually dig this BTW)

Most of the list is either websites or websites on steroids (Electron), it’s more than sufficient for “everyday users”, but it doesn’t really say anything new about the state of the Linux desktop, it’s been like this for a few years in that aspect, but it has progressed a lot as of recent on many other aspects which are worth making a notice about.
On the other hand I think it’s important to mention those things we don’t have or can’t ever (or who knows when) have, because the companies behind those products don’t care at all for the platform, or care about in a negative way, several of those are used by “everyday users” and I’m sure it can be a deal breaker for them. I guess it’s a decent campaign to cater to those looking at their options with the incoming end of Windows support at least

This is enough to make a grown man cry 🥹

When I started my own design for Tux I came up with “it’s all about U” written on the repo where I’ve developed it (upstream isn’t updated)

In hindsight it involuntarily highlights the difference between the open source and the free software movement pretty well, I’m definitely for the latter, but it is accurate to the product and its creator

Going through LFS207 right now, meant to prepare for the LFCS. Gotta say, the material is unsatisfying, a few issues here and there, quite a bit of information that isn’t up to date and uninspired instructors (at least it seems, they make so few appearances they might as well have not recorded themselves at all) make for a really lame course, which would all be acceptable if it had been free or really low cost and by an external organisation, but no, it costs a heck ton for what it offers and it still manages to be less than insightful when it’s coming from the same foundation sponsoring Linux development, guess sponsoring is an entirely different matter from knowing or teaching (or proofreading paid material).
What it is undeniably good for, though, is letting you know that certain topics exist at all, so you can go deeper by yourself, stuff which you might not care about or come across otherwise.
Safe to say your Linux desktop experience will only translate as much as you put effort into playing around with your system, which, in a perfect world would be the least you’ll ever need, it’s definitely undesirable to make the desktop a CLI heavy experience, and in fact, I’d say that today’s Linux desktop manages to save you from the details pretty well, so you really have to go out of your way to learn sysadmin concepts and tool usage, stuff that, if you don’t need a certification, you can do just as well on your own with free articles and courses, whichever you can find

I love this, we should maintain a list of these, it’s like that “Pokémon or web technology?” thing

It successfully combines everything I’ve ever wanted 🤧

Actually thanks for the akshually, because I had no idea about its existence
