After having things explode one-too-many times at this point, I've decided to give Nix OS a serious try. Having to learn another programming language to use my computer does not fill me with joy, but maybe it'll work. Or maybe I'll hate it and just end up switching to something that isn't Linux at all.

What OS doesn't have this problem? Windows.

That is, unless the hardware developer releases drivers for it...

in reply to aaron • • •I have a semi-standard setup - speakers and screen - and Windows is absolutely abhorrent to use haha. To be fair so is Linux, but at least I can wake up and go to my computer without finding out that it has crashed while I was asleep, or having the computer reboot under my hands whenever I work.
I've heard good things about Solaris? CC @freya mew,,,

As for Element, I am really curious, is that more accessible than a CLI client?

(Like eg I provide alt text on request whenever I use custom emojis on Discord and try to avoid ones with useless short codes)

in reply to aaron • • •Hey there, I have switched to #NixOS recently. I was on #Fedora Kinoite before, which is an "atomic desktop" and was too restrictive to do random standard things.
I try to get my system more stable and less crashy, so I use the linux-longterm #kernel (which did not want to work on Kinoite). This works amazingly well on NixOS.
I haven't understood the language at all, but if you tell me what you need to can see if I can help you write your config.
