Linux Mint, lemmings.world, mastodon.social. I might be slightly biased with the Lemmy instance.

Yep, I use it everywhere, that’s why I said Nix and not NixOS. I even use it on the company Windows machine inside WSL.

Or just switch to Nix and finally witness some actually good package manager.

My mnemonic is a bit weird, purrent working directory. I know the term cwd (current working directory) but I never bothered to learn what the p stands for, so I named it myself as purrent.

They would. But if you want to do it the Gentoo way, just disable using cache in Nix, it will manually compile every package you install.

Nix-shell and nix flakes are unparalleled, I can’t really live without them anymore. Hell, I even use them on my work Windows machine inside WSL.

In the immortal words of Linus Torvalds:

In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won’t end up like the Hurd people.

So NixOS but slower and worse?

Well, you should probably read the last sentence of my previous comment, it does apply here as well.

Well, I hated Dark Souls but love NixOS, no idea what that says about me, but probably something. I don’t like my games hard only my day-to-day life? Or something.

Edit: Recommend it to Steam Deck users.

An apostrophe is never out of place, it arrives precisely when it mean’s to.

Do you even nix, bro? I have Nix on my company issued Windows laptop inside WSL, btw.

I mean, take a look at it from their POV: You’ve spent decades building this and suddenly new people come in and want to change very fundamental things in the project. Replacing them with something you don’t know and don’t want to learn.

Change must be slow and steady and shouldn’t make the original developers feel like they’re being pushed out.

Both sides are severely lacking in considering the people on the other side.

I try every year and every year I get a different result. Currently on Wayland, next year’s update might force me back to X.

Love the Wayland stability.

Be careful:

And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Nah, it’s a single executable, like GNU.

Because Linux is so effective that the GPU temperature tops at 69, which is nice.

I went with Nobara because it’s pretty much Fedora + gaming related fixes. Meaning every Fedora guide out there works and Fedora on its own is pretty user friendly.

Excel, as in Microsoft Excel might be a problem. If she needs something Excel-like, the default LibreOffice stuff is very capable, but it’s not 100% compatible, really depends on what she needs. The online Office 365 thing might also be enough.

As for the Windows partition, a simple virtual machine might be enough and you don’t have to reboot the PC every time you need to open an Excel file.

Yeah, that one would be huge, it’s pretty much the only thing I envy Mac users.

I started using CTRL+R with McFly and now I don’t use the up arrow, except if I remember it’s in the last ~10 commands.
