Microsoft destroys product names like no other company.

Is that all.

The game recorder is not bad.

Many other factors have been shittier imo. Like forcing online authentication so they can steal your content, & scan it and sell thr profile. with crap like onedrive, edge and every other pointless services you dont want but generates money for Microsoft.

Top it off the list of people they sell your data to includes but is not limitted to:

• data brokers (onsell to anyone including criminals)
• anyone with a credit card
• criminals
• foreign states

Hopefully once precedent is set, liability is assured knowingly exposing children to gambling

Thanks. Nix made me a convert back from Windows. Microsoft doesn’t innovate anymore like they used to. iMO the origional concepts that sparked nix and now others like it has been a breath of fresh air into a stagnated critical cornerstone of the industry. Imagine being able to install every version of a dependancy like say .net thats ever been released without it causing a problem.

Install is imo better than even Windows, install from media, highly recommend kde plasma or gnome on your first round, but hey its nix, sky is the limit. Hardware will autodetect so long as you dont have anything out of ordinary.

Config once cry once cant be over stated enough how good it is. As for your concern about changes its really simple. Make the change, run the update command from terminal, reboot and if it fails (rare) juat reboot again and select your previous config, it keeps as many configs as you want to. I now only maintain the last 5 and run a cleanup confidently.

To update to the latest versions of apps and os its one command in terminal and nix checks your config for errors before updating. Some people run bleeding edge versions & update daily getting nightly apps, OS, and kernel even without issue. I sit on unstable, silly name, its stable as all hell, you just get the latest releases and features.

My worst experience was moving to home manager, but it was well worth it. The error nix presented was meaningless, the real error was just buried and I had to use journald to find the meaningful error.

What ever distro you use enjoy the freedom! Mint is great, Nix is great!

Timeshift is a life saver but its still experimenting in the dark. Id rather not spend my life tinkering all the time. Office suite is an app & 1 word in a config.

Mint is great for non technical people, but if you have the skill and crave more the innovation that nix introduced is singular.

I made it very clear about the barrier to entry for nix and frankly I don’t think you give OP enough credit. They sound quite capable already familiar with mint

Mint is amazing and frankly if its working for you then I think you’ve found it. I stayed on mint for a long time until I relented to a nagging friend and tried out NIxOS and was amazed. If you have the technical skills and feel confident to push through the inital difficulty its well well worth it.

So whats the good?

1. Reproducibility. Ever been annoyed that someone cant help you because they either dont have the time or just cant reproduce the problem? Its no longer an issue. Dependancy is managed by design so configuration and state is transferable with as little as only two files.
2. Declarative. Best way to decibe this is all the benefits of Arch and zero of the problems. Declare your configuration in a file and then have a life. Ive never saved so much time before with any distro. Imaging installing windows, configuring the OS, installing apps, configuring them only once, ever, never having to do that again. Reinstalls go straight back to the way you like it.
3. Reliable. Ive never had a linux distro so stable. The risk and pain of change is a thing of the past.
4. Largest and most up to date repo. Its simply unmatched.
5. The list goes on to other areas like security, scalability and much more but lets leave it there.

Whats the bad?

1. Difficulty of entry. You need to have basic understanding on writting basic code to some degree as you define your config as a simple text file. I recommend vimjoyer on youtube he has some great simple intro videos that will help here.
2. Using apps not in the repo. You will need to step up your config skills here to install that weird app you want. That is only unless you cant wait. If you have time the community is fantastic, a quick app request on the repo has a great chance of being picked up by some legend and added to the repo officially.
3. The wiki, its no Arch wiki, thankfully you dont really need it. The community maintains a bunch of configs for hardware and apps on the repo which is weirdly not advertised half as much as it should be. Alternatively just search github for configs from other nixians.

Ghost in the shell vibes

You are correct, it absolutely will, its the cost of unrestricted spending and valueless trade currency. When the USD disappears all would feel it but the US would shrink and feel it generations its so debted

when the over extended USD crashes offer up the EU and move on while US sinks into a generational depression from the interest alone.

TLDR positive trade and international allies matter. Isolationism ends with one outcome.

Illegal is most of the west already as creating sexual assault material of minors is already illegal regardless of method.

without a victim

You are wrong.

AI media models has to be trained on real media. The illegal content would mean illegal media and benefiting ,supporting, & profiting from and to victims of crime.

The lengths and fallacies pedophiles will go to justify themselves is absurd.

Its no different to the console market. Essentially a duopoly

the whole handheld gaming market is pretty small

Wat!

Sourced from wikipedia: switch has sold over 150 million units.

150 million

small

Hahaha You are delusional. Switch has sold over 150million units.

handheld pc gaming

Sounds impressive until you see the qualifier

pc

Not that impressive.

Compare it to the whole handheld gaming market!

Open-source just turned its value to dog shit, I’d say the offer is far above its value.

With how twitters value has gone since he bought it, I’d say he is pretty bad at this

At this point why not charge $40,000. Morons will still buy them

Keep going higher, i bet Canada imports more from US than exports.

Its 2024and you go to Mcdonalds drivethrough. First thing you hear:

Whats your order code

No good morning. Its straight to whats the order code for the app on your phone.

Thankfully you can be equally rude back and place your order.

Next year though? Dont expect the human to stay around for long.

Line mus go up!
