  • the fear of missing out a better compression
  • i just use either zip or tar+gzip. personally, i avoid rar as it's a proprietary format.

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?
  • Here's my distrohopping journey (including non-Linux OS)

    • Windows 7 →

    • Windows 10 →

    Mid 2021, I tried Fedora Linux in a VM and was unable to install it, but I liked it regardless.

    So, a while later I decided to try this "Linux" thing on my computer.

    • Linux Mint (late 2021) →

    • Arco Linux (arch felt too intimidating) →

    • Debian (stability = good?) →

    • Debian Sid (stability = boring) →

    • Artix Linux OpenRC (omg i hate systemd so much!1!!) →

    • Void Linux →

    • Artix Linux runit (it didn't work) →

    • Arch Linux (how do i use systemctl wtf) →

    • Void Linux again (ah, ln -s /etc/sv/something /run/service/)→

    • NixOS unstable (since January 2024)

    Honestly, I'm just glad I found something I liked, as NixOS is perfect for tinkering.

    During all that distrohopping, I "DE-hopped" even more. Currently I run SwayFX, but I've used Cinnamon, XFCE, Plasma, GNOME, AwesomeWM, i3, bspwm, dwm, swaywm and Hyprland.

    edit 1: add Artix Linux runit

    edit 2: remove NixOS stable from the list

  • XWayland 24.1 Released With Explicit Sync, Better Rootful Experience
  • I though only GNOME cared about having client-side decorations? Probably why any GNOME app I have has an annoying toolbar when I'm using a tiling window manager.

  • Another World is Possible
  • They're replying to the person asking for punctuation, not the one talking about capitalism in the US.

  • Another World is Possible
  • What's wrong with asking for punctuation?

    If you don't understand what someone says, you should ask for clarification instead of making assumptions.

  • Taking your ideas for my next linux app
  • how is that fragmentation it'd be a front-end not a whole new software

  • The genesis of a nixOS user
  • The ‘code’ tag here does not respect newlines,

    Now there's a newline between every single line of code

  • The genesis of a nixOS user
  • I started with NixOS and now I installed something called "Lix"

    Yeah I'm deep in it to return

  • Yeap, it is
  • Yep. I am also that person. I'm worried I'll forget about the thing I have to do if I do literally anything else.

  • Oh, oh no no no
  • The Berenstein Bears and the Mandela Effect

  • Lix - a new fork of Nix
  • Unfortunately, my dotfiles aren't public

  • Lix - a new fork of Nix
  • I use NixOS, and I'm confused. Why is a fork of Nix necessary? I'm out of the loop.

    edit: currently looking at lix.systems and aux.computer for info.

    So... should I just switch to Lix? Like are there any problems I should expect?

    edit 2: i tried switching to it, but got an infinite recursion error in my flake.nix, and honestly i don't feel like dealing with it right now.

  • Checkmate, science
  • the car already has metal in it, so the metal block is unnecessary

  • Green or red flag?
  • I watched that video recently

  • Has anyone managed to get Krita G'MIC working with Nix?

    made with krita (by me)

    i went for a glitchy flipnote aesthetic for this one

    in case of blurriness, here's an upscaled version (imgur)

    for some reason imgur defaulted to nsfw, it's not actually nsfw, it's the image in the post but upscaled to 2048x2048 with nearest neighbor scaling

    I just clicked 'I can't listen right now' and got a 'perfect', then it paused for a second and it just finished the lesson instantly.

    tried an action pose and some filters (by me)

    image: a furry character on a yellow background. it is on a sort of action pose. the image has glitching effects, such as pixel sorting and jpeg compression.

    made using krita
