I’m very pleased to discover this. I’ve been using this online editor for a while—good to have a local alternative.

i3 and xfce can be combined to achieve a very practical result. Highly recommend. It’s trivial to setup on NixOS, at least.

Newbie question: does this affect people using systemd-boot? Does anyone use systemd-boot?

My final straw was getting a new MacBook Air (I was at that point fine with how UNIX-y macOS was) and realizing I couldn’t dock the laptop to more than one external monitor without some weird hacky third-party software fix. Why, you ask? Well not at all because the laptop technically couldn’t do it, but because Apple said it can’t, because they want to overcharge you on a Pro.

I promptly returned the MacBook, bought a Framework on eBay, and learned NixOS.

10/10, I haven’t looked back since.

Depending on how old the iPod is, you might have some luck installing rockbox firmware on it.

But, in any case, yes, moving your music over will functionally be as if copying it to an external drive.

Cool to see COSMIC in the wild!

Also, tell us about your experience with Mullvad—seems to me like it’s 90% similar to Librewolf.

Love Minetest. Unfortunately, though, like with many other FOSS projects, it’s hard to find anyone else using it…

Anyone got a server for us lemmings?

Anyone using this? I can’t tell what problems it actually solves for the end user.

Chezmoi looks interesting. I’ve just been using xstow.

The people I know in my program (undergrad History) use their computers for little more than Google Chrome (specifically Google’s Office suite), a PDF reader (sometimes also Google Chrome), sometimes Zotero, and sometimes MS Word. We get a lot of Mac’s around here, so one can imagine Microsoft products are not highly relied upon, generally speaking.

Everything’s through the browser nowadays, so I’d say just pick a stable distro, install 2 or three browsers in case something doesn’t work (like Google Docs with Firefox in my experience…), and submit everything as PDF.

Can’t speak much to LibreOffice as I write my papers in Typst (and before that in LaTeX, which got me brownie points with some of the older professors), which I find much faster, easier, and more flexible than WYSIWYG word processors.

Fourthing sway, specifically swayfx and (as someone already mentioned) autotiling, both of which are available in the Nix repository without hassle.

Ed is the standard editor.

qutebrowser and Nyxt are both projects I desperately want to be capable of replacing my web browser.

As far as rounded corners and easy to use, I’ve had a tremendous time with swayfx for the past few months, which I switched to from Hyprland.

I used Doom for a while, but it was still slow. I’ve been replacing emacs with more unix-y tools (helix/neovim as editor, yazi for file manager, etc.). I really just miss the design of emacs (the self-documentation, the infinite extensibility, etc.). I hope someday maybe Lem will fill my needs (which I just learned about yesterday).

A fine day that will be!

That’s my first time hearing of Lem—it looks fantastic. What’s the issue with it on NixOS?

The most satisfying part of the NixOS process is deploying to bare metal and watching it work exactly as you intend it to

Hey!

I’ve wanted something very similar—specifically, a plain-text database. I recently came across GNU recutils, which I haven’t had time to play around with yet, but which seems like it fits the bill (at least for me). There’s a couple YouTube videos on it—I encourage you to check it out!
