Have you ever even used opensuse?

Try linux mint in your free time :)

The cube was taken away from us but it has been brought back in plasma 6

I 💜 NixOS

Mint, it’s not the shiniest toy but it really does just work

Sunscreen probably has something to do with it.

Alright good point 👍🏻

Linux mint just works this is good advice :)

MacOS > Linux ?

Honestly I’m not too sure, some distros (like debian) are much more stable IMO. We also have immutables distros which are more annoying to work with but hey let’s compare apples to apples here.

It’s the easiest solution to packaging software for Linux that doesn’t mean it’s good, In fact fhe way no dependencies are shared absolutely wrecks my hard drive and makes everything super long (downloading, updating, etc…).

Where it shines is security but to be honest do you really need an open source app to be in it’s own secure sandbox?

I vastly prefer nix and I wish packaging stuff for it was easier.

Lol this ^

I’d take the Tabasco any day

My body is ready

It was never about Christianity it’s about knowing his audience.

you have to set up the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable to take into account ~/.nix-profile/share the desktop icons will only appear after a relogin though.

From what I gather it goes something like this:

• every package is assigned a hash
• every package lists their dependencies through their hashes
• different versions of packages have different hashes
• when you launch an application it creates an environment with all its dependencies, this means that two applications that both use the same library at the same version share that library. However if they both require the same lib but not the same version of that lib they don’t share it.

Which solves DLL hell as far as i understand it.

Well the issue for me is internet speed, yesterday night I had to leave my pc on for two hours to update my flatpaks, I don’t even have that many of them, but the updates were mostly drivers and runtimes.

Could you elaborate? I was under the impression that NixPkgs stored the hash of their dependencies and when launched create an environment to use them, this way two apps can share the same library when the version is the same.
