nix overall is a much better solution to this problem.

no joke it’s how I learned linux, bootstrapping a gentoo install from the toolchain on up, with a printed manual. it’s surprisingly effective, if time-consuming (took me about 2 weeks to get to a booted system, though most of that was compilation time - took ages back then).
cry harder, chud
this is your brain on civility nonsense
cancelation is cool and good. stop being a bigot or cry harder.
use container tabs, not separate profiles. profiles are for installing separate sets of addons and the like.
literally every other distribution can solve this problem but Ubuntu can’t?
I think one of the issues with nixos learning materials is that they eschew talking about how to write your own packages. but to really understand anything, you have to get your head around writing and modifying packages. in nix, a package is just a build step that can do I/O during particular phases and produces an output to the nix store, so they’re an essential building block for anything that isn’t utterly trivial.
the other major stumbling block is working out how modules (the things that let you write config for the system) can actually be composed. adding a new module to imports gives you new config params you can set so you can organize your system config in terms of modules and packages to make things work the way you like.
Nix Pills are the canonical learning material for packages. I don’t know of any good learning material for modules - I learned by working on nixpkgs and another involved project that made extensive use of modules.
lastly, nix config files are written in the nix language and it’s a bit idiosyncratic. it almost looks and feels like Haskell but it’s slightly different in important ways. there’s no way around learning it if you have multiple systems and want to share config between them.
tree style tabs / sidebery. it’s life changing to be able to organize your tabs and actually read the titles.
ad hominem
“I refuse to stop being racist because it’s commies telling me to stop being racist”
because the people doing the “reclaiming” aren’t the targeted minority.
because this isn’t reddit anymore and racism isn’t the default position.
the refuge of every bigot: "the people I’m being bigoted towards want power and control over me. it’s pure projection.
because it’s racist. learn to take mild criticism and adjust behavior. it’s not hard and it’s a basic part of living with other people.
gay was reclaimed by gay people. do you see the difference?
vegan archbishop also sounds pretty cool but then people are gonna assume you’re catholic
