I’ve switched instances since this comment, so I didn’t see it until now, when I’ve just happened to log back in. Really glad to hear things have generally been smooth, that’s a shame about the new device policy, though. I’ve never been a fan of Debian for use on workstations. At least with Flatpak, you can still have updated software nowadays.

Only issue I had was that the PC freezes if it enters sleep mode.

Sleep issues are sadly common since sleep is weirdly complicated and motherboards are often bad at properly implementing things in a standard way. They often just implement it well enough that it works on Windows, then forget about it. If you’re lucky, a future motherboard or kernel update might fix it.

The vast majority of systems won’t have a problem, but when you do, it is a real pain in the ass.

trakt works fine for me

Again, multiple people have reported that the arguments were caused by his homophobia.

Its possible they were shot for different reasons, but Joss’s husband and another neighbor both stated that they were harassed due to his sexuality. Joss clearly worsened the tensions with his neighbor, but it seems very likely that it initially started due to their issues with his sexuality.

Jonathan Joss also said a few months ago he burned his house down with his dogs in it after leaving a propane heater on.

Source? The report I saw said he used a barbecue indoors but that it was turned off and the investigation didnt find it to be the cause.

Even if he had other issues, the killer still shot him while shouting homophobic slurs at him. It doesnt change it being a hate crime.

As long as you spend time providing your cat proper enrichment to express their hunting instincts, an indoor cat will be just as happy as an outdoor cat.

You could just look at my profile to see that I’m not. I’m also not new to Linux communities in general. Doesn’t change that I’ve never seen someone recommend NixOS to a complete beginner. I have (rarely) seen Arch recommended, but those recommendations will generally be downvoted and have many replies disagreeing. Linux Mint is by far the distro I see most often recommended, followed by Fedora.

I’ve genuinely never seen a single person recommend NixOS to a new user, unless they already had advanced technical knowledge

How is that an obvious databreach? It was just bot spam, something every single public site has had issues with.

I couldn’t find a source for all of this, specifically the lapse in bodycam footage or that the backpack was brought to the precinct prior to the search. Still, if what his lawyer alleges is true, it should be ruled as an illegal search.

I know, but they didnt specify if it was on the same drive or not.

By default Sonarr and Radarr both copy files, not move them, so the files shouldnt be disappearing from the original drive.

I believe it is, but I don’t think it always has been. I’m not sure if they automatically enabled it for existing installs when it was added.

By default both Sonarr and Radarr copy files, not move them. If they’re being removed, something else is likely causing that. Some torrent clients have options to remove files after downloads are complete, maybe you have that turned on?

Telling your client where the file has been moved to wouldn’t generally work, since Sonarr and Radarr will reorganize and rename files, so you couldn’t keep seeding from them.

You can configure radarr and sonarr to use hard linking instead of moving the.

I havent used vscode in while but I do remember having a lot of issues with the Microsoft C++ plugin, especially in large projects. I switched to clangd very quickly.

Plus you can always just use clangd. Its what I’ve always used with every text editor that has LSP support.

Thats all fair, I’m not trying to say their a better option for you or developers in general, just that they do offer features and benefits targeted at developers. I disagree with the idea that theyre only made for users with very simple needs.

Ive never run into any issues trying to build random projects or run random tools is distrobox, but I also haven’t used it as a main development tool. I prefer Nix for that.

Those tools are definitely great too, they just don’t offer the same purity because they dont handle external dependencies. Guaranteeing a reproducible build environment is something I find very valuable.

I think most users just don’t really know much about atomic distros. A lot of people in this thread don’t seem to really understand the benefits and mention downsides that don’t really exist in most of them. I think eventually (and by that I mean in a VERY long time) atomic distros will become the standard. AerynOS is an upcoming one that seems to have a really amazing blend of it’s atomic features without disrupting the user experience people expect from more typical distros. It won’t replace Nix for me, but I hope it’ll convince a lot of people to try it out.

I don’t think that’s a very accurate assessment at all. NixOS, VanillaOS, and Bluefin are three of the first atomic distro’s I think of and they’re all heavily aimed at developers. All of them offer features to help separate development environments, which improve reproducibility of packages and environments. I prefer the Nix approach to containers, but each one definitely offers benefits for software development.

I do software development and need a ton of tools installed that aren’t just “flatpaks”.

Every atomic distro supports distrobox and other containerization tools, and many support Nix and brew.

These distros are good for people who want to treat their desktop like a phone, but flatpak kinda lets you do that on any distro. Atomic distros are great for those who want to use tools to separate development environments for purity and tinker with the ability to easily rollback.

Atomic distros dont stop you from breaking them, they just make it easy to undo breakage
