null,

Nice mom to put up with being showered in macaroni art.

null,

It has 1 downvote…

Every post that gets even a little traction is going to get some downvotes because people like to troll.

But this could even just be a misclick - I’ve done that before.

It’s really not worth worrying about.

null,

Saving this later – what a fantastic breakdown. Thanks for this!

null,

No it’s not.

Rizz is just short for “Charisma”

It’s a graphical boot screen.

Just helps eliminate all the bootloader noise you see when booting up or powering off that make scare off less tech-savvy folks

I believe that’s correct – if nothing has changed from your last generation, then the new generation will be identical. But if something has changed, it will do a bunch of duplicating and remapping symlinks in the Nix store to ensure that everything plays nicely together and that you can rollback to a previous generation if needed.

So if you do a rebuild switch regularly, you will end up with gigs worth of old “copies” of things that aren’t being referenced in your current generation.

That’s what nix-collect-garbage handles – once you know your current generation is working well, you collect the garbage and recover that space, at the expense of not being able to roll back.

That’s why I think building a core system with NixOS and then having user software come from Flatpak is a nice combo for simple workstation that won’t update and bork itself, leaving my grandpa without a laptop until I can come take a look.

Edit: To clarify, nixos-rebuild-switch won’t update your Flatpaks at all – just the Flatpak service

null,

My disappointment is immutable

null,

YOU BASTARD

null,

Exactly right. Throw in Plymouth and set the bootloader timeout to 0 and you’ve got a noob-friendly workstation.

null, (edited )

My usecase is that I want to build a rock-solid workstation laptop for my non-tech-savvy family member.

I configure all the basics in .nix files, and then from there, they can install Flatpak from the software center, like they are used to doing.

Then I can just do a rebuild switch when I see them, make sure it’s all working, and then trust that they probably won’t break the system in-between.

Edit: to be clear, in my own config, if it’s not reproducible, I’m actively working to fix that.

null,

At least you admit it.

null, (edited )

Yawn. Let us know when you have actionable steps. Daydreaming is easy and worthless.

null, (edited )

Yawn. Still no answers about the basics.

“Let’s just end murder” – Wow, I’m engaging in important political thinking!

null, (edited )

Nope, I think others have contributed meaningfully and I’m supporting what they’re saying.

You on the other hand refuse to engage with anything of substance. That’s what I’m shitting on.

null,

How original.

Keep patting yourself on the back for shallow thinking, I guess.

null,

Lots of “what”, zero “how”.

null,

I tried it and it worked fine, but didn’t try to install any 3rd party plugins. Do they work too?

Been thinking about setting it up again if so.

null,

Huh? The Steam Deck doesn’t come with Gnome and also has its own OSK…

null,

Yeah, obviously. But what do you mean you “switched to” plasma? It’s the default

null, (edited )

And even then the blurb didn’t contradict what I said at all. They’re clearly just desperate for a “gotcha”.

🤔

null,

Was curious so I looked it up.

Couldn’t find anything backing up your claim that meat without synthetic taurine makes cats sick (which sounds like BS) and actually find some info that said that long-term affects of synthetic taurine is unknown in cats, and may not be as bioavailable for them as animal-based taurine.

null, (edited )

Not seeing the word “synthetic” there chief. Wanna try again?

Also from your article: “Cat foods that contain high-quality animal-based protein will supply adequate levels of taurine for a normal, healthy cat.

Supplemental taurine may be added to certain cat foods, especially diets that are formulated for specific needs such as heart disease or growth and development”

null,

See my above comment.

Also all of that is irrelevant to the (false) claim that “cats get sick from eating meat without synthetic taurine”.
