Well Epic does have the "super powers" mentioned towards the end of the article. They have Unreal Engine and Fortnite. The former brings developers, the latter brings players. They also have unlimited money to bribe developers and

In Guix's case, a working desktop with wayland + proprietary Nvidia drivers. (I'm actually using Kinoite, which is the KDE spin of silverblue) I could install Guix on top of something like Ubuntu or Fedora workstation for the same

I just tried doing that to create the bind mount at /gnu/store via fstab, and it disappeared on reboot (and threw me into an emergency console). Removing the fstab line allowed me to boot normally again. I think the solution will

I didn't think to try doing a bind mount, so that might actually work. I'll need to try it again at some point!

I had an idea recently to try out Fedora silverblue with Guix on top. Silverblue gives you an immutable root filesystem, which is great for building a reliable and reproducible system, but it makes installing software more complicated. Cont

For ~$90 I can buy a screen programmer online to transfer serial numbers between screens and bypass the locking thing. If I buy a phone with a broken screen online for cheap, I can put your good one on it (by writing the serial number from
