But appimages will complain about unmet dependencies, so usually they don’t work

Activating services is the specific task NixOS is great at, you can just add it and it downloads the packages and starts it and generates the configs

It’s less simple than text because it actually takes more space to view the same amount of configs.

Package your own if you need it

Yes, the systems people actually use vs every system that exists. Very arbitrary

You run the script that generates hardware config file for you, it’s literally one command

You only have one machine? I benefit from sharing configs between the laptop and the desktop. They are not the same, but I can easily copy paste a complex service I defined in my desktop to do the same thing on my laptop

Because you end up feeling unsatisfied with running the thing until you package it. I don’t even understand the Nix language and I still messed around with a couple of packages

Nix has more up to date packages than most distros have packages in total. There’s a bot that goes around updating them automatically if they are from github. Maybe there’s an issue with your package?

If you download a binary you can just steam-run it and it just works

I don’t know why your browser would report itself as a linux browser just because it’s behind a proxy or VPN

Jellyfin us easy to run, but then when you are running it it just doesn’t have your files. Are they in the incorrect folder structure? Who knows

I literally just run Kodi and it just works, I can browse my folders and watch stuff

I don’t have infected devices on my network because I don’t run Windows and I don’t live with my mom

I discovered they have a Matrix server where people will literally debug your config for you and help you solve issues. But you are right, if you try doing it yourself without help you’ll be pulling your hair out

Why the hell would you even want to disable the firewall?

I’m behind a firewall on my router, why the hell do I want to enable it?

I use NixOS, FWIW

Too bad I forgot which tool did which debloat and couldn’t re-enable the firewall service to get Windows update working again

You’re right, I borked my Windows install debloating it and gave up after 1 week only

I spent 1-2 hours debloating Windows and it turns out Windows update doesn’t work unless you turn back on the Windows firewall service.

I forgot how I disabled it in the first place, so I gave up and installed Linux

Equality of opportunities for blacks and Latinos means discrimination for Asians. And people here wonder why Trump won votes from people who are not white men
