I have an M1 Pro machine, and while obviously there’s been an uplift, especially in single-core performance, between the M1 and the M5, I wouldn’t call these anything even close to dated yet.

For displays, I can go grab the machine and see if there’s been any changes, but external displays should still he borked on anything that doesn’t have an HDMI port, or in other words, any laptop, or the iMac. Still being worked on.

Generally speaking, everything I’ve needed from my linux partition on this Mac had worked phenomenally well, on my Nix install

It’s definitely not perfect. 9 times out of 10, its great, but in that 1 time, it breaks in quite spectacular ways.

I’ve been a massive supporter of Plasma almost ever since I started using linux all together, but with the recent Cosmic releases, native tiling has been quite an appealing feature. If things improve there towards full release, and beyond, my nix setup is all ready to be switched

They have repeatedly caused a ddos on Arch servers, ignored security concerns, had supply chain issues when it comes to Pinephones (and more).

On top of that, their deployment strategy for core repositories is just a rollout delay with practically 0 quality assurance, which is even more bizarre, granted that they butcher perfectly functional Arch pkgsbuilds. No idea for why they continue to imply this somehow improves stability. Stability in what?

There’s a reason why people don’t recommend it, and there’s a reason why you shouldn’t either.

It’s really quite a shame, that people would rather spend 200$ every 3 years, to buy a new gamer headset, instead of just buying good headphones and a good mic, that will last you an eternity.

My pairs of HD600 and HD650 are from 2001 and 2003 respectively, still in use daily. Replaced the cable, and switched out the padding a few times, but other than that, they’re still as good as new

I’ve recently started building my projects in Sveltekit, after becoming increasingly frustrated by how over-engineered NextJS is, and its been such an incredible experience. Everything just makes sense. Writing code feels like a breeze

We’ve seen W11 be installed on one of the first ever x86_64 machines with enough success. Obviously there are missing cpu instructions, but the majority of requirements differences between 10 and 11 are just bs, and an attempt at forced obsolescence

It’s actually crazy, that we live in a world, where a computer that was mid to high-end 4 years ago, can be called obsolete now, because… windows 11 says it is? It doesn’t make any fucking sense. All just to attempt to gaslight people into using secureboot

Arent these directories already symlinked on essentially any mature distribution?

My biggest issue with Nyx, and the reason why I’ve yanked it out of my flake twice now, is because unfortunately this repo has no quality control.

If the Nix foundation Hydra fails, the whole merge is cancelled. If Nyx’ build system fails, they just write the broken packages into the equivalent of shit_that_broke.json, and still push it.

Given that I’ve only wanted to use 1 package from the entire repo, it is shocking that it’s both impossible to bisect for debugging, but also increasingly frustrating to get any help with.

This is especially obvious for kernel packages, where nixos-unstable is a little behind Nyx, so fully expect your builds to error out frequently, if you use applications, reliant on specific kernel functions, like what openrgb/openrazer people experienced a few releases ago
