Nixos Is my first distro I use on desktop. I’m not sure why but I guess the fact that it won’t build till it checks Is a huge plus for me. I love to f up things to learn from them but I don’t like broken things and oh boy. Nix keeps me in the clean, safe. Don’t get me wrong im doing stupid stuff all the time but just cus i have a few configs written down i can learn a lot. Or a little that amazes me lol

Been there done that 🥲

I host many other things on that hardware. But it’s a small 1 litre pc. Sterling pdf is eating the least from there. I tried but I cant stop listing what i have. It is a 6 core gen 10 i5 w 32 gb RAM. Proxmox as hypervisor running two Debian VMs. I think I run 30+ services on it but again sterlingPDF is least of my concerns there. If you don’t have the hardware I genuinely believe you can run it locally without any issues or you can run it on a potato

Just to add the noise: I use Sterling pdf which i host and dear god it has so many functions that i never knew existed

Hard agree on most of these. Try searchxng regards the search bit. It’s a self hostable search proxy. It’ll use everything from bing to duckduck and the topics(eg map search images) are more relevant and specific (at least for me) it looks like the unshitified google era.

And ofc ladybird is far af but i think it’s something that we need right now

I’m in the same boat using Zen. Eagerly waiting on Ladybird to come out. They are writing it from the ground up not even a package being used according to them. Oh and this isn’t some rando this is a guy who done decades of coding(mostly browser) so my hopes are high as Snoop

I dont think its a controller problem Dolphin was always weird to me when it was about controller

I’ll give that a go thanks

Dark reader is getting my browser slow lately. Is it just me?

Haha right? My first reaction exactly. Written in rust so that’s that. Oh forgot yo mention the collab features almost equally amazing

I use Zed Yeah the agentic ai feature is nice and all but I don’t use it much. However the whole speed of it and the layout of the ui is very close to my heart eg.: native remote server connection or you can hide stuff away to be distraction free. Tldr.: feels nice, looks nice

Many might not like or bored with this answer but NixOS. It has more fresh packages than AUR. You can pin your version if you want or you can do what i did: i have most of my packages on stabile(which is super reliable and mostly fast to catch up) but I’ve defined that i want some from the unstable channel which is basically the cutting edge. Yes there are a few things missing when it comes to desktop apps but can use flatpack for those. On top of that you can program the whole OS to your liking and it won’t build if you fckup or you can roll back on boot if you don’t like what you’ve done. I’ve installed nixos to make my penguin friend shutup and now it’s my safe space really.

I could be missing something but I never see Karakeep when the pocket shutdown is being mentioned. I’m curious ppl don’t know or don’t like karakeep?

The wh 40k lore sounds more realistic than ever
