You don’t need to convince everyone to switch. You need to convince some people go join and build the user base.

Once there are users, more people will join. Even if people are not active, if they have an account it’s easier to convince someone to add you.

Think of it as a long term goal.

You can just try zeroSSL. Either add a DNS record they give you or host the file they give you, it’s much simpler

Who said anything about linux

It really depends. I actually needed to learn a bit about networking to be able to host multiple things on nginx on the same port. Internally they run on different ports, but they can get routed by the host name

It will unshare the thing in the UI only, which is enough for regular people. Again, once you share it, it’s out there

You realize you can download it forever at any point, right? Your threat model should be “anyone you share things to has saved them forever”

Once you give up trying to unshare things, then encrypted group chats make a lot of sense.

Once you share a file with someone, they already have it. There’s no point in trying to make them unable to view it after the fact.

Why do you think I shill NixOS here and actually installed Mint on my mom’s laptop?

You’re joking, it was on Twitter a decade ago

Why don’t they “just” add it for me so I don’t have to click it again to rename the file after it’s made?

Why, did they add a “New Text Document” context menu option again?

Gnome users be like “Open in Terminal” > touch filename.txt

Honestly, why switch distros? I switch DEs from time to time

I stopped liking gnome. Let’s say you try to launch a wine game and it just doesn’t launch. There’s no icon to right click on to find out which wine profile it’s launching from. The quick launch icon is just there, teasing you and not doing anything useful.

I can right click on a desktop icon in KDE and do something useful with it. KDE has gotten better. It’s no longer super buggy on Wayland with Nvidia.

Jellyfin didn’t scan my files because they were not organized correctly

Just let me browse the damn folder

I like looking at my subscriptions and sorting by Hot which is newer than Top

Idris is the obscure version of Haskell

6000 MAU, 46K users, top local videos have views in the hundreds

People here running *nix OSes while I run a Nix*OS

Nix is the best packaging system. One of the best kept secrets is you can download old packages from github and it will install old deps into a different folder. Very useful for just downloading the exact wine version you want or keeping a broken package at the version it still worked on. I’d use bottles, but the wine versions it provided were not the latest!

So NixOS, being based on Nix is the best distro

NixOS store (app folder) is read only. You literally can’t mess with it. It doesn’t really need a container, most things are locked down already. Of course you could mess up your home folder, but that’s on you then
