Yes, but you sometimes get an IP that forces you to do the captcha, so it’s like 50/50 - not a full solution. You can try it

Sometimes when I use warp it just lets me through, but that’s a lottery.

I can’t let you do that, Dave - NixOS, probably

lots of folders on the system are read-only and get changed when you run rebuild

NixOS is very different, it will make you stop wanting to hop

My question is, what does your DE have to do with your distro? Pick a distro that works on any DE

I like brave search because it uses its own index

Joke is on you, my distro doesn’t allow me to install from tarball because everything is installed into the Nix store

That’s why the long term solution is not using Ubuntu

This is not true, I desnapped my Ubuntu and pinned Firefox to use the repo. You can do that for any software to force Ubuntu not to install snap.

That’s the problem with the Ubuntu model. I’m using stable Wine with other unstable packages in NixOS because I can. I don’t have to choose a version, since dependencies are not installed globally

No, fuck red hat, use something else.

Using snap is your own fault. I only use it for command line applications. You use some ancient Ubuntu 20 LTS…

NixOS doesn’t lose in features to Mac, and the store is actually larger, there are only like 10K apps for Mac

Needlessly reductionist, but also wrong. If your code is proven to work (like, machine verified), and you use a compiler that is also verified to generate correct code, then that code is secure.

I upgraded Ubuntu 20 LTS to Ubuntu 22 LTS in place and it broke everything including the Wifi drivers. Left with a black command line with no Internet, so I just wiped the drive

My man, my laptop sometimes turns off the screen when I tap the touchpad in Windows. It’s far more broken than Linux is. Let’s not go into how slow it is on an HDD in Windows 10… I have given up on booting into Windows since it’s unusable

This is why I use NixOS in a git repo. I will never be able to successfully recall all the steps I did otherwise

It’s not as hard as you think, since you can just copy some other package for a skeleton and substitute your own files. There are just a few files to do a basic package

I do overlays of software to patch it all the time. Eventually I’ll package it, but it needs upstream fixes, so I’ll try to package my own fork

I’m a fan of Framework laptops. They have given people the option to upgrade several motherboards by Intel and released an AMD version to boot. I don’t think there’s ever been a manufacturer that offered three generations of motherboards on the same chassis. The swappable ports are kind of neat, you can choose which ones you want to use

The 13" is already on sale with a 16" coming later this year
