I understand, but it is not obvious this provides a performance benefit which outweighs the potentials slowdowns I mentioned above. I am concerned about the trend of JavaScript tools advertising how they are “blazing fast” without any bench

NixOS makes it easy to emit raw configuration files if you want. I do this for software where I want more control than the Nix wrapper exposes.

Using NixOS with flakes is actually quite simple once you already know how to do it, but the lack of high quality tutorials made it difficult for me to get started. I hope the community will improve this situation over time.

Almost everything I used on Arch is available on NixOS. In fact, for a lot of software I was able to use a more advanced configuration because NixOS makes it easier than Arch to set up. I only ran into one hiccup: NixOS has an open pull req

I recently moved my laptop, desktop, and a few servers from Arch Linux to NixOS with flakes and home-manager. It is amazing! The complete configuration for all machines is in a single git repository, I can share configuration between them,

If monomorphization is the killer, has the rust team considered adding a flag to compile all generics as trait objects in debug mode? Maybe there are some reasons this is impossible I haven’t thought of.

For key mapping, I wish the author had discovered interception-tools. It is far more powerful and easy to use than karabiner. https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools

Wayland fixes a number of long standing issues with X, including: * No screen tearing. * Better hidpi support including different scale factors on different monitors. * Improved security, because clients do not have access to all state on t

PipeWire has worked very well for me both as a drop-in replacement for PulseAudio and to enable screen sharing on Wayland.

I have heard this expression rephrased as "Logic is useless against those who reject it". However, in my experience, both sides are logical, they just start from different axioms.
