I mean there are a lot of communities for news here I think, I also check Hacker News and stuff too
Currently learning German. I have another account on lemmy.ml, JetpackJackson@lemmy.ml. But I haven’t used it in a while.

I was never on it for as long as some other people but I definitely feel some nostalgia when I hear talk about the reddit of years and years past
Seconded. Once I installed Cheogram I haven’t wanted to open any of my matrix chats
Huh TIL! That’s cool
I kinda like cheese day
Do you have a link? I think I missed it
Xonotic, Minetest, and Mindustry are the only ones ive tried so far
TIL! thanks!
There’s a TUI called sysz for systemd stuff, but I haven’t found a true GUI
Theres XMPP too, its nice
I haven’t tried running a full Guix system yet but im really liking it as a package manager on top of arch. Yes, hardware support can be iffy, but there is an unofficial channel called nonguix that packages the standard Linux kernel instead of linux-libre, and yes there are less packages but honestly packages are so much more fun to write? I’ve written a few package definitions for both my own use and ive made a request to add one to the official channel. And I feel like, if I really needed something that would not be packaged due to complexity or something, I could try and use flatpak or an appimage or something. I think its definitely worth checking out.
That’s true. That’s what I’ve been seeing in places, people just saying to continue on and ignore the drama. And I know I shouldn’t let a group idea/thing dictate whether I use nix but like I was already starting to not like how it seemed like a lot of people were like “write all your stuff in nix (configs, etc)” and I didn’t want to get locked in. Plus I got busy and didn’t feel like tinkering with it. Idk. I was already losing interest in a weird way. I still think immutable/reproducible distros are cool though. I’m now just currently running Guix on top of arch and using aconfmgr to emulate some reproducibility.
Yeah that makes sense. I still have my old nix shell files so I can use them if need be for my environments
Oof. That sucks. Didn’t know that was a thing
Idk imo knowing about the drama makes me hesitant to go back, especially since I switched all my development environments from Nix to Guix and I dont want to have three package managers lol Plus the Guix community seems really close knit
Also, happy cake day!
My main distro is arch but I installed gentoo on a spare laptop and im really enjoying the granular control and the choices available, like if I want to use the binaries I can, or I can use a bunch of USE flags, it’s very nice. Emerge is slightly slower than pacman for me but I can live with that. I should learn to write some ebuilds though.
