    For my part, I’m not sure it is, though lack of votes didn’t help. The meme is perhaps meanspirited so soon after the painful news, but here’s my question, and this is genuine: now what?

    Trump will get to pick a bunch of lower federal judges and probably two more SCOTUS judges. What’s the way out when it seems to me that he and his jackals control the military, the police, and the judiciary? Seems like a hopeless setup to me.

    Harris lost, so what’s Step 2?



  • I don’t care what people say on NixOS, this OS is not ready yet, I don’t have time for this shit when I’m working and that server will be going back to debian next summer.

    I like the idea behind it, but I’m with you. I’ve tried to learn it and given up several times. There’s just not enough tutorial info, yet, to get people up to speed, and making changes seems to be a bigger deal than pretty much every other distro out there.

    Its current state feels like Arch for people who think Arch is too easy.









  • And that’s exactly my point. You aren’t going to get a basic feel by booting a live USB. Better for him to try out the update mechanisms, install a few programs, and maybe test some theming from within a VM.

    Plus, some of the ones I listed don’t have live environments but would be great choices for gaming distros and better than some of the ones that do have live environments. You’d be limiting your options by having this unnecessary requirement.



  • I agree, and also, the Arch distros I recommended have varying levels of preset configurations. Garuda is about as opinionated and complete as any green user could want, whereas Endeavor and Cachy are blank slates but not as bare as starting from scratch.

    Arch also has the biggest community and the hands-down-best wiki out there, so when something happens, there’s a lot of people who can help.

    I think a better option than live boot is VM. Live boot doesn’t always save settings, and you may not get a full-install experience, since certain things are set up after install.

    For gaming try:

    • Bazzite (Atomic Fedora)
    • Nobara (Fedora)
    • Garuda Dragonized Edition (Arch)
    • Linux Mint (Ubuntu)
    • EndeavorOS (Arch)
    • CachyOS (Arch)
