Nobody uses Linux guys, that shits for nerds
True. I use arch btw
Woah, you are old. I use nixos btw
Woah, you are young. I use Slackware btw
Ahhh, I remember my days of wearing the sackcloth and ashes of Slack. I would go back to that purity. But I'm now old and far too lazy.
Since Flatpaks are a thing now, it's almost like one of those newfangled immutable distros:
I'm running Fedora 40 Atomic Budgie on a little micro desktop for fun right now. IMO, it's not quite ready for prime time just yet. I do appreciate the simple ability to roll back at boot if something does go wrong. I've done it once after an update and it was nice. The next day a new update was pushed to fix the error in the update and on I went on my merry way.
On the other hand, there is a general sluggishness and a feeling of malaise to the system as time goes on. It's not a show stopper. But it does not spark joy either. Budgie ran a whole lot faster and smoother as a "standard" install. And I'm not installing a lot of extra software and they are all installed as Flatpaks or I have 3 pieces installed as appImages. So it's all just updates.
The real test will come when Fedora shifts from 40 to 41 and I upgrade the distro. Will it be as "immutable" as they brag about.
Yikes with all the nix drama going on?
I use a custom distro dixos btw
Pfff the distro itself isn't affected by the drama really. The community is. However in a few years nobody will remember really. Maybe the forks are still around then.
Yeah but the anti-woke type are hardly ever too mentally stable, so who knows when the 'saving our Christian distro from the sinners' update will drop.
That or the old devs never come back and the new ones ride it right into the shitter, either way its definitely uncertain times when you lose most of your main devs
Then don't install Temple OS.
Nixos: temple run and method edition
