  • From what I can tell, OnlyOffice has the best compatibility and the nicest UI (similar to MS office), same as with the regular applications. NextCloud Office is based on LibreOffice (officially Collabora, which is their name for the web product), so again same as the regular applications you’ll have some compatibility issues. That said, if you don’t need compatibility with existing documents or only documents made with LibreOffice, either is fine.

    One concern many have is that OnlyOffice is closed source (edit: my bad, it’s been open-source for a long time) and russian based (edit: partially russian, see Wikipedia), while LibreOffice is open source.



  • There’s many languages that started by compiling to C (including C++), so it’s an option. As another commenter has already said, it also means that you inherit everything of rust, which can be useful (borrow checker) but also tricky (language decisions, generate correct code). C is a much simpler language (in terms of features), so it’s easier to compile to, but Rust should be as doable.

    Immutable distros aren’t immutable in the home folder though, they would be unusable otherwise, so that doesn’t solve OPs problem of dotfiles/personal files (I know nixOS tries to get rid of dotfiles, but in my experience that almost never works, it’s only helpful for replacing config files in /etc)




  • You can set the initial value directly in /etc/environment, did you check that? It could also be set only for your user, so it might be in ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile` (or the rc file for your shell if you’re not using the default bash).

    Edit: I suppose you could also have added a startup script in /etc/init/ or /etc/init.d/, or in /etc/rc.local

    Can confirm, I’m using a dock (from Razor) daily without problems. Hot switching doesn’t work though, you need to restart X/your display manager to connect or disconnect the eGPU. I’d recommend the gswitch utility to configure the graphics card to be used (on X11). Haven’t tested much on Wayland, but I know that at least Gnome (Wayland only) has trouble mixing eGPU and the internal display if that is important.


  • Jerboa doesn’t have anything to do with it, it is the app you use to access the fediverse/lemmy.

    Lemmy has upvotes, downvotes and the tally of those two. Karma is a step further; on reddit, every user has a total tally (Karma) as well, where all up/downvotes of every comment and post are added together as a “score” for the user. So people post popular stuff to get upvotes and thus have a higher score (which some subreddits required to post).
