Well i’m not saying it’s rocket science, but compared to runit/rc.local or simple autostart scripts i do think it’s easier. I converted everything from my autostart script to systemd services when i was still on NixOS, and the whole thing seemed so convoluted. With having to set services to depend on each other, and also had a lot of problems with things like nm-applet or blueman-applet not showing up in the bar at all, and couldn’t find a way to fix it.

For my basic needs it always felt more confusing then necessary. Don’t have a hate boner for it, but i prefer not to use it at this point. I’m using Void and i really like how simple runit is.

I mainly dislike it because of it spamming the loopback devices. I know you can filter those out but i don’t want to lol. Last time i heard their servers/backend or whatever was also proprietary, but i don’t know if that’s still the case. In general i don’t really understand why you would choose it over flatpak, and i’m not really a flatpak fan either :p

Oh that’s weird lol. I think if i remember correctly when i looked it up, the white light on my motherboard is actually staying on as a warning that no display is connected, which is nice and all, but it would have been great if it turned off again when a display is detected, but it just stays on forever. It’s only a very small light but it’s bright as hell, so it’s really annoying and it hits your eye eventhough the pc is off to the side lol.

I have a different problem where if i don’t turn on my monitor in time, it will still work just fine but my motherboard will turn on this annoying little white light that won’t turn off again, so i have to reboot to make it go off again.

Yeah but i don’t like that it’s chromium, and the crypto stuff has always put me off.

It’s weird how i still haven’t run into any of those sites after years of using firefox. For me it not being chromium is a positive, especially with this recent adblock nonsense that google is pulling.

Bro is like thanos at the beginning of endgame.

I never used them when i was still using a DE, but now as a tiling window manager user i use them all the time, since the point of those is that windows are placed in a layout and don’t overlap, so after opening like 3 windows max, it gets too cramped for my taste and i move to a different workspace.

Better yet, what’s wrong with ext4 lol

Why the downvotes? It’s correct. Otherwise logind wouldn’t have had to be forked and turned into elogind.

Cause atleast it’s not chrome

Had me in the first half

Imagine darth vader calling palpatine main

My repos use main because i guess that was the default, but i don’t really care. I mean i also call my window manager layout master/stack and i don’t see what’s wrong with that.

Yeah that’s what i use now too. The official home manager page kinda sucks purely because it has no search function. You’re scrolling forever until you finally find what you’re looking for lol.

And in dutch we would say “ik begrijp er niks van”

While i like NixOS as an entire OS as well, at the moment i’m experimenting with just using nix + home manager on top of whatever distro i want, and i just had the realization that in the rare case that a package is not in nixpkgs, if you make your own derivation for it to build it from source, you can take that with you anywhere as well and don’t have to make another package for different distros you might be running. Pretty cool.

Honestly upon looking into it a bit more, it seems like there is actually a dvd release already, or atleast i got some legit search results for that, so if it’s a dvd it’s probably legit, but there doesn’t seem to be a legit blu ray yet.

Nice bootleg bro
