I'm playing with Guix and even made a dedicated installation. I find it more attractive than Nix (more sane language, shepherd service manager), but it lacks in diversity of packages and many of the ones I require are very stale.

https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer I've had good experience with this installer if you have root access. I also installed nix on my work HPC cluster running Ubuntu via nix-portable.

Unironically, the comments such as yours are downvoted. I had an idealised view about our industry, but it has now shattered during the course of the last year.

It's not that these diversity policies were effective at addressing the underlying issue, they looked ridiculous to someone from the outside. What is hilarious and scary at the same time, is how these global corporations, the supposed

Well, Google have already been collaborating with a certain state that uses AI for weapons and surveillance against a repressed population with the goal of maintaining ethnic supremacy and domination.

This is what Helix did right - putting essentials into the core. I'm still not sold on their editing model, even as someone new to modal editing and not encumbered by existing habits. The improvement is not that dramatic to justify aba

One of my PCs is old and was really slow on X11. Wayland gave it a second life.

Guix also does not use systemd, but its own service manager Shepherd. Edit: the author of sixos mentions it, boils down to personal preference of not liking Scheme.

This is not my experience. When I upgraded several of my computers to KDE 6 switching to Wayland, overall responsiveness and snappiness of the system increased very visibly. There are still features that Wayland lacks compared to X11, but I

It is the best explorer for me too. It blends into the rest of the vim so much so that you don't feel the difference between manipulating text and files.

I was working as a Qt developer at the time and really rooted for Maemo to succeed, because Qt was and still is a truly an amazing piece of technology. Unfortunately, Nokia squandered this opportunity.

Administrative detention is functionally the same as hostage taking and we should call it as such. Just because an Israeli "court" puts a stamp on it doesn't make it any different.

No grievances that Russia might have had can justify this devastating war, and total annihilation, and mass murder.

The world will will not be able to help with their plight, just as it was not with Ukraine and more recently Palestine. Might as well secure the supply chain.

I agree. At some point in the past Unix was also new. There is a time for stability, but also time for changes. In fact, the most popular distributions such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Arch largely operate on the principles that have not c

I don't see a major problem here. Hardware manufacturers can take up the burden of testing their products on Linux, and some already do, like Lenovo certification for Ubuntu (in practice their laptops work perfectly well on other Linux
