I don’t really associate them with child predators, but I personally find them staches ugly AF. But I’m just a millenial, so you do you.

GPU acceleration

All the needed AMD stuff is pretty well documented in the manual. I’m gaming on NixOS with even my “relatively old” AMD GPU.

nixgl

The only time I heard about needing that was when using plain “nix” (not NixOS), as in using Nix under any other OS, to run graphical applications. I haven’t touched nixgl at all, and don’t see the need for it.

alacritty and kitty

Literally my terminals (kitty is my main) + foot. Both working easily either under main NixOS config or Home-Manager. What’s supposed to not be working there?

Literally don’t know what your problems are/where they lie. I’m a Linux noob (don’t even have the patience for Arch Wiki + install), coming from Pop_OS to NixOS and I’m happy it’s all so easy. I’ve installed it on my main PC and two separate laptops and so happy to just share (basically) the same config on all of them.

I love NixOS! Been using it on all my devices since January and probably never going back :)

It all sinply just works™! Don’t worry about configuration :) As long as you’re not using relatively obscure software, you’ll be more than fine reading the docs/manual :)

If you still want to use obsure stuff though, the community on matrix is very active and helpful! Plus most (interesting) projects have at least one or two very dedicated Nix fanatics (/maintainers) willing to help others :D

Boxer-briefs 100%

I’m more of a bottom, if you know what I mean.

That wasn’t even a teaser. It was basically a slideshow :(

Me (Chad): having to get 32GB+ of RAM to compile my memory-safe point-and-click adventure

You(virgin): being able to compile your segmentation faults with 4GB RAM

Giga Chad: having to get 32GB+ of RAM to compile rust-safe memory-leaks

As a use-rust-for-even-the-most-basic-task elitist, I laugh.

OpenBoard is great. I’ve tried a few and it just feels like a privacy-focused version of G-Board

Where does NixOS place within these?

There’s a 2nd already??!? Didn’t the first one come out like 2 days ago? And here I am waiting for Rivals 2 …

Same as with Martin O’Donell a few years back

Lol, for a second I thought you mean Greenbone OS when reading the title.

Is the color named for the inside? I thought it was because of how they turn red, when they’re on their way to mate (link for reference)

Funny name aside, this is literally one of the reasons, why I (and most people on the NW part of South America) am freaking traumatized by cockroaches. Having a single one of this fly at your face as soon as you turn on the lights of a dark (and maybe even moist) room, will give you a heart attack

If you’re not a techy person/power user, I would recommend staying with Kubuntu/Xubuntu (flavors of Ubuntu, that seem familiar to Windows users), or a more loved variant Linux Mint. You’ll have everything you need there, and your gaming will do just fine using Steam thanks to Proton. My first time (~2014) I went with Ubuntu, since it has an easy to use installer (like most distributions), with relatively sane default settings. Nowadays I would recommend Linux Mint or anything Debian based for the stability.

(from my gf): Rust is present. It just is in the bathroom right now ;)

Apart from what has already been said (politics, basic UI) there are a couple more things worth mentioning:

• Kbin’s interface is muuuch more customizable than lemmy’s: browsing form a web browser (desktop or mobile) let’s you modify your viewing experience as much as any mobile app for lemmy (but lemmly itself doesn’t). From infinite scrolling vs pages to font sizes and such.
• kbin allows for (mastodon-like) boosting of posts, which is like a super-upvote that lemmy just doesn’t have.
• on kbin you can subscribe to mastodon users aka federate with mastodon. Something that lemmy also can’t.

Other than that only personal taste matters in the end, and both federate with eachother, so enjoy it from wherever you are.

Where is the first picture from? I’ve only seen the statue in Bremen (Germany), but never really looked up what it meant or where it really comes from.

Twice a day: After breakfast and before going to bed.

The latter one goes with mouthwash, and at least once a week some floss. Has worked for me quite well. You might need some more depending on your genes, but it seems to be the golden middle I found for myself (and others who ask me), and even the dentist has yet to tell me to change anything in that routine.
