I use NixOS for my desktop because I hate myself you can configure everything without needing to edit a bunch of different config files that use different configuration languages.

I use Arch btw for my Minecraft server because I am crazy.

Thanks!!

even though inferior men seem to have no problem doing so

there’s his problem. thinking of others as inferior (and of yourself as “superior”) is egocentric.

8GB is enough for me although I have 16GB just because I want my system in general to be a little faster while I’m gaming

If they care about terminal emulators, it’s unlikely their distro came with one preinstalled.

I think they said that because OP wrote “not once have I had a problem or anything break. What am I doing wrong?” making it sound like the problem is that they haven’t experienced anything break yet.

Vim is pretty easy for me because I’m used to it. Nano is very difficult to use for me because I’ve rarely used it.

wayland.windowManager.sway.config.keybindings = let

This is in my Home Manager configuration. I don’t think this is that bad, it’s just kinda messy. If you can’t tell, it’s a script for taking screenshots, embedded in my configuration.

I wanted to customize Windows 10. Customizing Windows was too hard and unsafe (requiring many “bloated” third party tools).

Then, after seeing some cool themes, I realized Linux is way more customizable. So I tried Linux Mint and now I use NixOS.

How did I read that as “I just realised my Godot made a game”

If you want a challenge that may or may not be worth it, try configuring NixOS. And I mean really get into it, try to configure everything using Nix. It’s very time consuming but not boring, each configuration varies person to person (i.e the way you organize it) so it can be quite fun if you have the time.

Also nixpkgs (what Nix and NixOS use) has like, all the packages

i just copy the links to a text file as i write and when i’m done with the paper i just paste it at the end and format it correctly

Idk if it’ll ever be for mine (Samsung Galaxy A51). Hopefully one day, if such a phone exists, i’ll have a phone that is more open and also supported by something like LineageOS.

wait i always thought the rule in this meme was not wishing for your own death

Windows 10.

I wanted customization. Windows provided customization, sure, but like in the worst way possible. Want to change the system colors or what buttons look like? Download this third party theme and apply it with bloated tools that are probably malware in disguise!

Meanwhile on Linux (NixOS), I can just change a few lines in my dotfiles and it works. Sometimes it’s inconvenient but I’m not really looking for convenience.

Same in Brazilian Portuguese

I use Thunderbird and I don’t think it looks old, specially after recent updates. You can also change the colors which is pretty cool.

I didn’t have to do anything to get it to work, could be an internet issue maybe?
