You’ve seen one now.

I’ve seen a couple on trains IRL, along with myself.

Have never seen someone using Linux in the wild

I feel like a lot of the uptick in Linux users is probably due to the steam deck, which is good in itself but not necessarily Linux desktop users

That explains it, documentation is ok but not nearly as good as arch’s, feels like it takes a lot of googling

flashgnash, 11 months ago to linux in The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops

Honestly seeing the performance of the steam deck right now I’d probably buy a steam machine if a modern one came out

Though companies like system76 and tuxedo are already very tempting

Hell yes we love the unstoppable chemical.

Try out the songs Rum and Bass and the ultimate Dirk theme from pesterquest next time you’ve got it, matches the vibe perfectly

For me there is no greater endorphin rush than listening to some really good bassey music and really pushing myself on a cardio machine

Rum & bass + rowing machine really got the adrenaline going for me, was actually comparable to being high for a period of time

Lifting weights is different but feels very good to see yourself in the mirror lifting something heavier than you’ve ever done before and you get addicted to chasing that feeling

I think part of the mindset is getting yourself to embrace the physical punishment and actively seek it out, couldn’t tell you exactly how to do that but for me a lot of the time knowing it’s going to be difficult will get me more excited now

That’s more or less the same boat I’m in tbh. I’m just starting to play around with using shells for development environments

flashgnash, 11 months ago to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

I can’t imagine using anything else at this point tbh, it’s been the smoothest, cleanest experience I’ve ever had on Linux

It’s the one that finally made me abandon windows completely and stop distro hopping

flashgnash, 11 months ago to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

Fair enough to be honest when I jumped in I dual booted with windows so always had a safety net (also was experimenting on my laptop before moving to my PC)

flashgnash, 11 months ago to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

If nixos has been around this long how come it’s only now starting to pick up in popularity?

flashgnash, 11 months ago to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

I don’t get why everyone says it’s so bad, you get a decent starter config and to install stuff you just add one line to it

Installed it bare metal on a Friday and was up and running by Monday

By no means a master of it but the config is pretty intuitive generally speaking

flashgnash, 11 months ago to linux in Jump from Arch to NixOS?

I absolutely jumped straight in lol it’s not too bad as long as you have some time to read the wiki and play around

Default configuration the installer generates is good to get you going

flashgnash, 11 months ago to memes in It feels like the early days of the internet!!!!

And yet people still want to federate with meta for some reason

flashgnash, 11 months ago to programmerhumor in Help, I am scared...

It doesn’t even integrate with my smart kettle, what are they even spending their time on, silly things like stability and bugfixes?

Using Turing complete Minecraft command blocks (probably with some plugins)
