hahahaha nice. I hope I don’t have to dual boot windows. My laptop is fast enough for VMs

I never went back to windows. I had my stuff in a separate partition so when I went back to Fedora or Arch, I had my stuff there

I don’t need to dual boot because the stuff I play just works on proton or is “native” (minecraft)

Well, sure, proton is great, but I wish HW support was better more than I like proton.

I wish I could love AMD, but after being hit by the drm/amd#1455 bug, I can’t ever. I’m quite happy with intel and my battery life is the same as when I used windows, so all is fine.

That’s not the point, because it’s not what the OP asked for

If you’re gonna be like that I could also suggest to OP to move to Windows or MacOS 🤷‍♂️

It is a win, but it’s more of a Steam Deck win than a plain Linux one.

I don’t know. I myself am planning to get a new laptop next year and I’m in a dilemma between an expensive macbook pro or an expensive thinkpad x1 yoga. Similarly priced.

For many it’s a radical change in paradigm, and I assume many just want to understand it well

link me

NixOS is as mature as arch, I’d say, but because of its nature it has issues here and there, but rarely so.

That said, the learning curve for nix/nixos is very very very steep, so good luck learning. It took me a while for me to use it nicely, and even then, I’m nothing more than a beginner. Even so, I’m quite comfortable and pretty much can’t use any other linux distro.

That’s nice. Hopefully it getting more notorious means that HW companies will support it better. But, at the same time, if this is just from the Steam Deck, then, kinda fugged

just keep on going. i cant be happy on any other distro, so i have to use nixos

Nixos. For all its complexity and dilemmas and issues it has given me, it’s the comfiest for me and gives me really cool features

I dont have links in hand, but I remember the flatpak devs saying they targeted/care about desktop gui apps. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t use flatpaks anytime soon if ever

I only use Gentoo for a small bit, so I can’t comment on it, and I haven’t used the other thing ever. I wish linux a culture similar to the bsds when it came to ports stuff. /usr/local is barely used if ever.

I am only using them and they seem very kino. I don’t do anything complex with them, but, I like that adding new repos is as simple as reponame.url = repourl and then you can use its stuff after adding it to your outputs

Same. Exactly. Packaging can be a bit more complex, but once you get it, it’s great. There’s even the NUR, but I havent used it.

It’s so kino. Incredibly hard to learn and much more to master, but much more powerful. Nothing beats easily modifying a derivation’s source, or adding patches or build options or whatever you want.
