Google is the Google of Linux. They actually make their own distro
Spent a ton of time trying to install GrapheneOS because web USB doesn’t work in snap version of chrome. How about letting me install the normal deb version? Nope, can’t let the user choose
Because they wasted 5 people’s time on it instead of pulling in the first pr
I found this that might help:

Nix is better for CLI programs since it also figured out how to avoid dependency hell
Install CLI packages with Nix. You don’t need a proprietary system
They have social security and some of them have savings. My mom is planning to retire in West Virginia and she’s already planning on selling her current residence to build a house there. She chose a low property tax state on purpose.
At this point she would only receive social security and start to go through her savings to live. You want to start charging her federal taxes the moment her property is worth $1 more than what she bought it for, even though she’s on fixed income.
NixOS is super easy. It gets a bit complicated when you use flakes, but you don’t need to to start.
You just put the system packages into the configuration so you can replicate that system everywhere.
But if you don’t care, just install everything to the user profile! It just works like any distro then, no config files to mess with
The first power spike you will experience is actually setting up a service like Jellyfin by just editing the configuration.nix, though. It’s so much easier than having to mess with the configuration yourself (someone already did the work for you)
You are saying you want to tax retired people with no income just because they have a place to live in. Should we kick them out for nonpayment of said taxes too? Because that’s what would happen. It happens in states with property taxes, but now you want to take it national.
This is the problem with leftists. This message would be an extremely bad electoral platform.
The South being down is a convention, Antarctica is actually sideways from you if you live on the equator
I forgot the most obvious example:
If you bought a house for $200,000 and when you retire it’s worth $1,000,000 the government shouldn’t demand you pay a percentage of your “gain” for the rest of your life or until you are forced to sell it.
Did you respond to my comment about some other feature? I’m talking about hitting the super key to launch a program
NixOS is surprisingly easy to use
That’s an interesting idea, but the problem with UIs is you need some kind of a format to interact with all of the toolkits and legacy programs just to be able to figure out where on the screen the button you need to click is
I’m in my browser, but I’d like to not be in my browser anymore (open something else). The shortcut straight up doesn’t work sometimes and that’s embarrassing
In my experience, KDE has too many features that are buggy and don’t work. Like hiding the task bar automatically will break the search shortcut because the search will pop up behind your browser.
Gnome has no features, yet it’s buggy and doesn’t work. You alt tab out of a Wine game and it will think the alt button is constantly pressed down when you tab back in.
Choose your poison
Who said I don’t understand them? I’ve done point and click tutorials. They don’t only take forever to follow, they also take forever to make.
Look at this monstrosity:
Holy shit, the copy and paste parts are the easiest parts of them all
Thrusting in an unfamiliar environment is how I got an STD
