It is very much a nice distro.

Some things it does so well, for example, it took away all the pain, in regards to using ZFS, and nvidia drivers. It just works. No messing with “Will this kernel work with nvidia?” and such.

And if something does break, being able to still use, the pre-update system, is just life saver sometimes.

I already have a desktop, but… So, in bed… I have socket right next to me. No problem. Uni? There is always a free socket.

Like, I probably will get a battery somewhere down the line, it is just, not a requirement or priority at the moment

Yea, NixOS is still the most tempting, because the ease of ZFS (I plan to get 2 more used SSDs, and slap RAIDZ1 on it for memes and fun xD)

Yup. Fun times!

Thanks, I am definitely going to have fun with it… While, upgrading to quadcore i7 will wait a longer while, I might buy cheap used SSDs + adapter, and run 3 SSDs in RAIDZ1, just for the heck of it. Will it be practical? Probably no. Will it be fun? Hell yea.

Also, I hope, the person who got that W540, that they very much enjoyed it as well :D

Hell yea we do use emacs!

I think I will survive without Wayland… I will miss gamescope a bit, but, it is what it is.

Steam UI… good thing I don’t spend much time there.

Proprietary driver, shouldn’t be a problem. (seems it is easy to install, at least on NixOS) And I don’t run secure boot, so, no issues on that front :D

No DLSS, I will survive. FSR cute anyway :3

Also thanks for extensive reply, I appreciate :)

Ah, so, things will be fine for me, thanks

On desktop, emacs + org, on phone, obsidian. Maybe if I figure out how to put emacs properly on the phone, then will move all to org…

Nice, have fun :D

I am always looking forward to new KOReader releases :D

It is comfy to see Haiku development

Though, I will consider actually running Haiku, when quicklisp is working =w=

I have been running NixOS for a fair amount of time by now, and I can confirm, its a rad concept. Though I find NixOS the most comfy, becuase can run ZFS, and certain things, much more easily.

But yea, Silverblue, Kinote, and others, are nice as well.

If you go for the Kobo Clara HD (Not the newer one), you can go around the storage size by replacing the internal microSD card (It is a bit of work, yes, but it works, and is doable)

Also, on Kobo, it is very easy to put KOReader on as well, so very much, comfy.

Steam.

A linux client that works, and actually gets fixes, improvements, and features, that is a lot.

Davinci Resolve

Really good video editor, and also, has Linux client.

Sadly, oftentimes, Forums are replaced by discord, despite… how different those are.

And, discord is inferior in so many ways. Not only you can’t easily search for the content, you also need an account on centralized proprietary software, that also is quite resource heavy. Not to mention the privacy concerns.
