  • I use git and nix (home-manager) for most of my dotfiles. The main advantage of this is that if manages dotfiles, but also you whole user environment, so you can install some software that you need for your rice for example. It’s very powerfull, but it takes time to get it to work properly since you have to learn nix expressions !





  • Well, one way to address this would be to have a little hook that triggers when you do a full system upgrade, and it updates your flatpaks.

    also flatpaks are still centralized thanks to flatpak itself, same for snaps, nix, cargo and similar package managers. It’s not like you have to update every single app by yourself, like for AppImages and apps on windows or macos for example.



  • I live in a place where what you are describing is already implemented, and it does make a lot of sens, but there is still some issues:

    • Since most people work in the same time period of the day, public transports are a nightmare in the morning and at the end of the day.
    • Country side bus exists, but in my town there is 3 per day. So you need to spend the day at the city if you use it.

    So there is still a lot of people that prefer to use their car to go to work or simply to go to the city, which causes insane congestions on the main road around the urban area at some points in the day.
