Pipewire and Wayland are boss brothers

For some time I have been lurking around this topic and for general computer use, including typing, talon seemed like the best option

I really enjoy how GNOME handles windows currently already.

Between having the ability to move and resize windows with Super + (mouse left|right), switching between windows of the same application with Super + backtick, workspaces and Super + type to search, there is very little to desire.

Unlike tiling VMs, this makes sense out of the box for 99% of the apps out there while providing a really quick way to get where you need quickly.

I would commend any student that would be able to figure this out in my hypothetical school

I am currently using e-cigarettes as a former smoker

I would say:

• if you aren’t smoking already, there isn’t really a good reason to start
• if you are smoking and sort of kind of want to continue, e-cigarettes are most likely healthier than analog
• if you are smoking analog and want to quit, there are better ways to quit for sure - I don’t feel like committing to quitting just yet, however when I do feel committed, I will go with the tips outlined towards the end of the Huberman Lab - Nicotine’s Effects on the Brain & Body & How to Quit Smoking or Vaping podcast

reminding me about I nearly got suspended because I showed my Health teacher how you could bypass our school’s firewall and buy drugs on a school computer

It’s such a rejected behavior to even consider suspending you for this.

Anyway, yeah, I agree. I think if one has interest in the inner workings of a computer system, just trying to make Linux do whatever you want it to do is a good way to experience that. You will, over time, without knowing, accumulate so much information just by troubleshooting things that don’t work for one reason or another

I think that’s kind of the benefit of Git repositories in general; you really don’t have to do much to start contributing on any platform, really - just sign up, fork, git clone and MR (for most of them except sourcehut, really, where you use mail to send your patches in)

The barrier of entry for people that are already comfortable with Github and git in general is basically nonexistent on any of these platforms - which is a plus

Thanks for the insights :) I appreciated

How long did it take you to migrate from the distribution before and what’s your experience in this space in general?

I like the idea of a declarative configuration, but I find it hard to justify when Ansible has the potential to do the job 99% as effectively.

Also, what do you feel are the most “killer features” in nixOS?
