Nix is not place that you want to go just for the hell of it.

If you want to be able to store your entire operating system config in a repo, and spread it to a bunch of other boxes, and have the ability to rollback to any point in your install history, it's the bee's knees.

But to do that, you need to rely on there massive community repository of apps understand their language, and be ready to fight with most uncommon packages that you might want. You can't just install or upgrade apps anymore. Upgrading channels to get app updates as much less likely to go smoothly.

Overall for me, NixOS is a net positive but it's not by that much. If I were going to go from scratch again I'd probably just go back to Debian. But, sunk cost fallacy I'm in it now and I need a good reason to get out of it.

Woohoo I'm almost driving the bulldozer... Almost

I'm not watching movies in Linux, I don't really care about HDR, but I've had nothing but horrible experiences out of video editing products in Linux. If it's not a skin for FFmpeg, My project has about a 10% chance of making it through to usable output.

KDE connecting infuriates the hell out of me. It's so close to being good. The features aren't at parity between the different platforms. It is absolutely awful at finding and pairing your phone. I have three different networks I connect to on a regular basis. I don't want to run static IPs on every network nor do all the clients support static IP. If you do use static IPs you better only need that one because it can't choose from a list. Wanted to scan a different subnet than you're on for your mobile device tough luck. I want to use it, I have it installed. I've said it IGMP hints. It's just not written well.

All that said, if you have an ISP bog standard router and one network that plays nice with it, it definitely works as a keyboard and mouse remote...

Doesn't really matter what your developers run on, you need your QA to be running on trash hardware.

We can even cut out the middleman and optimize unity and unreal to run on crap

We just need to write a version of Lemmy that runs in basic on a TRS-80 and publish a magazine

I use Linux because I don't trust windows, I don't like the direction Microsoft is headed, and I'm bored.

We're not the same either, but that's ok. We can still all have each other's backs.

I've never had a problem remembering tar, but properly using PV, somehow I'm just not able to store that information in my brain.

Latest Debian has all the ease and little of the worry.
