I’m not in the market, but I’ve actually had similar thoughts of building a project on top of NixOS that’s focused on self-hosting for homes and small businesses. I recently deployed my own router/server on a BeeLink mini PC and instead of using something like OpenWRT, I used NixOS, systemd-networkd, nftables, etc.

DM me if you want to discuss more. I think the idea has potential and I might be interested in helping if you can get the business model right (even if it just ends up being some FOSS thing).

Stop using Brave, people.

The only correct answer is to be consistent with the code base you’re working in or the language’s conventions. If neither of these conventions exist, then someone has already failed you.

It’s so ironic how many downvotes this is getting in the context of this thread.

This reminds me of the apparent gnome-keyring security hole. It’s mentioned in the first section of the arch wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring

Any application can read keyring entries of the other apps. So it’s pretty trivial to make a targeted attack on someone’s account if you can get them to run an executable on their machine.

There’s also the Wayblue family of Wayland distros, based on Ublue.

It’s hard to say for certain whether a distro will work for your hardware, even the Nvidia-specific images can have bugs related to the Nvidia drivers or their interaction with compositors.

I’ve used NixOS for a year.

I also tried Fedora Sway Atomic for a week or so. It mostly worked well, but I eventually found that it’s really hard to use Nix for development on a graphics application, because linking with the system Vulkan drivers is near impossible. The loader used by Nix’s glibc will ignore FHS locations. That seems to rule out a lot of the benefits of using Nix.

So I gave up on using Nix + Fedora as a failed experiment and went back to NixOS.

My wish list for Nix, Wayland, and Sway is pretty long. I kinda wish I had the time to make a new distro.

Wow. I would love to here from the mods how my comment was breaking the rules of a memes community.

You don’t know me.

What? That’s just not a good comparison.

People don’t shoot up drugs in a roll of toilet paper.

People pee on the sidewalk regardless of whether public restrooms exist.

We have other problems to fix before we can safely bring back free public restrooms.

Please explain.

Not my main rig, but my most unusual is 32-bit Yocto Linux on an Intel Edison that I got for free from a college professor that worked for Intel.

Yocto is awful. I mean it has a niche I guess, but there is basically no package manager. Somehow I managed to install a Rust toolchain on it, but it couldn’t build the web server I wanted to run on it.

I’d much rather have a Pi running a sane distro.

Fair. I was mostly thinking about it from the perspective of what the writers had intended at the time.

I thought the Empire in Star Wars was supposed to be Third Reich Germany. They literally both have “stormtroopers.”

I had to get a split keyboard to alleviate pain in hands and chest.

We think we’re Ricks but we’re actually Jerrys.

Millenials and Gen Z are tight. It’s Gen Alpha that has Millenials… concerned. We are watching with bated breath.

Yea. I was using bottom until I saw this and did a quick side-by-side comparison (nix-shell -p btop, I use NixOS BTW). btop’s UI is just so much better.
